With her opera singer for a mother, theater organist father and Björk’s Homogenic on constant rotation, Oh Land was enraptured by the combination of experimental and classical arts. “My goal is to sound like I’m from 2050, but still feel really classic, like the music is an old friend,” said Oh Land. She spent her days pirouetting as a ballet dancer at the Danish Royal Ballet Academy when an injury forced her to reinvent herself and discover her true talent and passion as a musician. Oh Land was discovered by Kasper Bjørke who soon released her first album, Fauna, which garnered critical acclaim in her homeland of Denmark. Her soundscapes are lavish, crunchy, symphonic, brute and captivated with rhythms that fly apart. She translates the sounds live via her contraption - a homemade one-woman-band music box topped with balloon video projections (seeing is believing). Her music is for movement and new songs such as the thumping Sun of a Gun and euphoric White Nights have proven to make even the most portentous get up and dance. Having been discovered by Epic Records at 2009’s SXSW, she is currently putting the finishing touches on her US debut album and an EP to be released this fall.

Rainbow
Oh Land Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't get out, the morning wants to keep us safe in here
Resting on your shoulder
We wont go, until there's no,
More people out there
You can make it click
Making me pop
With the clean cut
Searching no more
All melodies
Are coming ashore
Flushing over me
Your are all over my rainbow
Taking the scene
In my crazy dream
Only you are on my rainbow
No one else here
Nothing else gets near
You
Nothing's fast or slow
Its in between
Were red and green
Where land and oceans meet
Peacefully I'm quiet
Cause nothing here is
Mad, bad or dangerous to know
You can make it click
Making me pop
Going for the goal
With the clean cut
Searching no more
All melodies
Are coming ashore
Flushing over me
You are all over my rainbow
Taking the scene
In my crazy dream
Only you are on my rainbow
No one else here
Nothing else gets near
You

I was obsessed with this song when I was in High School. Now I'm struggling to finish college, but oh so happy I remembered this song and eventually who the artist was so I could search it. Thank you, Oh Land.

Here for my good taste in music😎
She is sooo underrated like she's amazing! All of her songs are different but master pieces in their unique way. I also love how she uses her vocals to add some beats, incredible.
I found her music a few years ago and i'm still so in love!Sometimes I just stick to my Oh Land playlist all night while drawing. Heaven on earth.
Keep it up! You are the best.
