Ep 142 - Songs of Ravens With Benny Bråten

In this week's episode Dan sits down with Benny once more for a deep and meaningful conversation about emotions in music and Benny sings a few songs in Norwegian. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Song 1: A World Of Ruins I cultivated my defeats I licked my wounds Till I understood That the path is created as we walk There are no losses Everything can be a new start When the night is at its darkest The morning is coming soon In a world of ruins can we build ourselves a castle By laying stone upon stone Of what has passed Of a world in ruins Can we create something great We can build something new Where the old one has stood I needed a fall To get up and stand I needed to stop To start to walk I felt crushed Put the pieces together The picture is new In the same frame In a world of ruins can we build ourselves a castle By laying stone upon stone Of what has passed Of a world in ruins Can we create something great We can build something new Where the old one has stood Song 2: I Mirror In The Water I mirror in the water Sometimes with a smile Other times there is more doubt When my thoughts are dark Like a winter night Then it´s hard to stand Even when I give my best I can fail with brilliance But it's part of the dance of life All the choices I´ve made They have brought me here To this place on the path of life I'm not better than others Not at all But I probably once thought so Yes, I probably once thought so If I feel lonely I get company from All the errors of yesterday When I go in depth They look like Large scars and open wounds If this is the hour of accounting It doesn’t look too good But I'll make up as good as I can When it storms at the sea The bottom is calm And I strive to be like that I strive to live like that I'm not better than others Not at all But I probably once thought so I'm not better than others Not at all But I think that I once thought so Yes I see that I once thought so I see that I once thought so See that I once thought so I see I once thought so --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out Benny's Bandcamp here: https://folketbortafornordavinden.bandcamp.com/album/ett-liv-uten-ende-2?fbclid=IwAR1ofH7Atjnii3qCdQZGjjsEA4945w68x9m_27yABkSP5p43M8R6Nn3wlOQ Check out Benny's Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/folketbortafor/ Check us out on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/nordicmythologypodcast If you like what we do, and would like to be in the audience for live streams of new episodes to ask questions please consider supporting us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/NordicMythologypodcast Check out Dan's company, Horns of Odin, and the wide range of handmade items inspired by Nordic Mythology and the Viking Age.
