The group was formed by Lars Lillo-Stenberg in 1984. The other members were the bassist and vocalist Lars Fredrik Beckstrøm and the drummer Rune Lindstrøm. In 1986 Lindstrøm left the band and was replaced by Øystein Jevanord. In 1988 Jevanord left the band and he was replaced by Øystein Paasche.

In 1991 the band was completed by the guitarist Lars Lundevall. The new line-up recorded these albums:

Varme mennesker (Warm People) (1991), Neste sommer (Next summer) (1993), Mere (More) (1994), Sent og tidlig (Late and early) (1995), Stakkars (Miserable) (1997), Kast alle papirene (Throw away all the paper) (1999) and Midt i begynnelsen (In the middle of the beginning) (2002). Their debut LP "Suser avgårde" (1986), is regarded as one of their most popular records. The lyrics are very popular because they are very naïve & philosophic.

There's more cake left"). New album out now: "Trist å være glad" 2011.

Forelsket
deLillos Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Jeg merker at det skjer igjen
Vet du hva jeg snakker om min venn
Nå har jeg blitt forelsket
Og jeg merker at det skjer igjen
Jeg skjelver føler meg faktisk dårlig

Og som alltid er det vanskelig
Jeg vet ikke hva jeg skal gjøre eller si

Alt blir tilbake i en drøm jeg lever i
Når hun sitter ved siden av meg
Da skjelver jeg føler meg trist og lei

Når jeg smiler er det utenpå
Når jeg snakker er det vanskelig å forstå
Når jeg ser ut er himmelen grå
Og det eneste jeg tenker på er henne
Om hun noengang vil forstå

Og som alltid er det vanskelig
Jeg vet ikke hva jeg skal gjøre eller si
Alt blir tilbake i en drøm jeg lever i
Når hun sitter ved siden av meg

Da skjelver jeg
Føler meg trist og lei

Overall Meaning

In the song Forelsket, deLillos sings about being in love once again and feeling the familiar emotions of excitement and nervousness. The singer admits to feeling unsure about what to do or say around their love interest and often retreats into a dreamlike state when in their presence. They describe feeling physically and emotionally overwhelmed, shaking and feeling unwell.

The lyrics convey the universal experience of falling in love and the accompanying insecurities and uncertainties. The use of sensory language (shaking, feeling, seeing) adds depth and realism to the singer's emotions. The repetition of the phrase "og som alltid er det vanskelig" (and as always, it's difficult) highlights the recurring nature of these feelings and the difficulty of knowing how to navigate the situation.

Jeg merker at det skjer igjen
I have started to fall in love again

Vet du hva jeg snakker om min venn
Do you know what I am talking about, my friend?

Nå har jeg blitt forelsket
Now I am in love

Og jeg merker at det skjer igjen
And I can feel it happening again

Jeg skjelver føler meg faktisk dårlig
I am trembling and actually feel sick

Og som alltid er det vanskelig
And as always, it is difficult

Jeg vet ikke hva jeg skal gjøre eller si
I don't know what to do or say

Alt blir tilbake i en drøm jeg lever i
Everything becomes a dream that I am living in

Når hun sitter ved siden av meg
When she sits next to me

Da skjelver jeg føler meg trist og lei
Then I tremble and feel sad and weary

Når jeg smiler er det utenpå
When I smile, it's only on the surface
