Also she performed during the intermission of the Eurovision Song Contest in 1986 in Bergen, opening act of the winter Olympic games in 1994 at Lillehammer, voice to the Norwegian, Swedish and Danish version of “the little mermaid, Sung on the Titanic album (‘My heart will go on’ was originally written to her), Royal Variety show in London 1995, Preformed at annual Christmas concert in Vienna, 2000 Nobel peace price concert with Josh Groban singing “the prayer”, toured with The Lord of the Rings Symphony Tour in 2004 and her latest achievement is a number one on the Billboard classical charts with the christmas album “Spirit of the Season - with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir featuring Sissel”
Sissel's musical style runs the gamut from pop recordings and folk songs to classical vocals. Her work on the soundtrack to Titanic has led to comparisons with Irish singer Enya.
Sissel's combined solo record sales (not including soundtracks and other albums to which she contributed) amount to over 9 million albums sold, most of them in Norway -- a country with only 4.5 million people.
She’s released over 14 studio albums, her Christmas album from 1986 is the best selling album in Norway ever with almost one mill copies sold! She’s featured on several soundtracks and sold well over nine million albums world wide and her popularity continues to grow!
She truly is a northern star!
Here are the lyrics to her song "Ready to go home":
On this street below these walls
Where I used to walk now I can barely crawl
All this darkness rise and tall
Lord shine a light for me I’m ready to be caught
I’m ready to go home
I’m ready to receive forgiveness for my sins
I’m ready to begin
Take this river to the sea
Where the delta flows
The tide is washing over me
Guide this soul to heavens door
Show me where tomorrow lays
I’m waiting to be born
I’m ready to lay down
I’m ready now to sleep a promise I must keep
I’m ready to go home
So time I’ll lay down with these memories
Breathe the shallow deep inside of me
If time has run its course with me
I’m ready to go home
I’m ready to receive forgiveness for my sins
I’m ready to begin
When the evening shadows fall
When the time has come
I let defences fall
To surrenders to survive
I will give up everything to those I leave behind
I’m ready to go home
I’m ready to receive forgiveness for my sins
I’m ready to begin
I’m ready to lay down
I’m ready now to sleep a promise I must keep
I’m ready to go home, again
Going home again
Someone Like You
Sissel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
its like you were sent from the sky
the kind of love you hear about
that you just cant do without
baby thats you and i
always believed there was something more
through every empy hour i kept searching for
someone like you, baby no one holds a candle
the only someone i want is you
ive treasured this romance and hold you as we dance
our way through love's open doors
ive found my happiness within ur sweet caress
then ive ever known before
somethings fate wont let you leave behind
i could turn this world over but i'll never find
someone like you who does everything the way that you do
someone like you, baby no one holds a candle
the only someone i want is you
its not like ive given up on life
just because ive found this love
ive never felt something so right
your love is a gift to my heart
somethings fate wont let you leave behind
i could turn this world over but i'll never find
someone like you who does everything the way that you do
someone like you,baby no one holds a candle the only someone i want is you
In the song "Someone Like You" by Sissel, the singer expresses her deep love for her partner who she feels was sent to her from the sky. From the very first moment she laid eyes on him, she knew that he was the one for her. This is the kind of love that you hear about, the kind that you just can't do without. She has always believed that there was something more out there for her, and even during her darkest times, she kept searching for it.
The singer believes that her partner is truly one of a kind. There's no one else in the world that can do everything quite like he can. He's her perfect match, the one who holds a candle to no one else. She treasures their romance and the happiness that she has found with him. She knows that some things in life are fate and impossible to leave behind, and she will never find someone quite like him again, even if she turned the world over.
The song is a beautiful love ballad, filled with passion and conviction. It speaks to the idea that sometimes in life, you find someone who is truly unique and indispensable. It's a reminder that true love is worth fighting for and that if you're lucky enough to find it, you should hold onto it tightly.

我周游世界
等待与你不期而遇
为了找到如你一样的人 我不惜一切
只要找到如你一样的人 我心满意足
只要找到那个完全像你一样的人
我历尽艰辛
只为找到那个像你的人
我身负重担
等待阳光照耀到我的身边
为了找到如你一样的人 我不惜一切
只要找到如你一样的人 我心满意足
我在灵魂深处搜寻
只为找到你在何方
我在世界各地的公路上
徘徊辗转
为了找到如你一样的人 我不惜一切
只要找到如你一样的人 我心满意足
只要找到那个完全像你一样的人
我周游世界
循着鼓声的指引前进
但是现在我意识到
一切的美好终将到来
为了找到如你一样的人 我不惜一切
只要找到如你一样的人 我心满意足
只要找到那个完全像你一样的人
完全像你一样的人
完全像你一样的人
一切的美好终将到来
完全像你一样的人

I absolutely cannot get enough of this song. I end up coming back to it over and over... Some things fate won't let you leave behind, I could turn this world over but I'd never find someone like you...
Mary Scott
Dear Luiz Filho, thank you so much for sharing this lovely video. Sissel is my favorite Norwegian Soprano. I met a wonderful man and I was reading romantic poems and searching love songs that could possibly come close to how I felt inside of my heart for him...this song says it all. So thank you once again for taking the time to post. Cheers & Happy Holidays from California. :)
Michael Triba
What a sweet comment, Ms. Scott! I hope that 6 years later, you and your man are happy. I'm in Nebraska, and my sweet bride came to me from California 37 years ago. I love her more than ever.
