Vise i vinterlys - Erik Bye
Erik Bye (1926-2004) was a major Norwegian TV-personality in his time, a colourful man with a varied background.He was a great lyricist, and many of his poems and songs have become modern Norwegian classics.This song, which could be translated at A ballad in Winter-light is maybe his only love-poem. He text describes a cold scene, where the lovers meet, and the images Bye paint are cold, bleak - but still with a warm intensity.The norwegian composer Egil Monn-Iversen (1928-2017) has brought a Scandinavian Noir feel to the text, they suit the lyrics perfectly.- John Philip Hannevik -
