This is the intro song (the first two stanzas) for the Norwegian series Atlantic Crossing, currently being shown on NRK. It is a beautiful song called When, written and sung by Norwegian singer and songwriter Susanne Sundfør. She has an amazing voice, crystal clear, that is absolutely riveting. Listening to her voice transports you out into the universe, at least that's the effect on me. She also wrote (together with Anthony Gonzalez) and sang the song Oblivion (music by the French band M83) for the Tom Cruise sci-fi film Oblivion, a favorite film of mine; the music is also excellent.
The series Atlantic Crossing is well-worth watching; it is the story of how Crown Princess Martha of Norway and her children left for the safety of America during World War II, and of her friendship with Franklin D and Eleanor Roosevelt. Supposedly her friendship with Franklin influenced him to sign the Lend-Lease Act, which allowed the USA to supply military aid to its foreign allies during World War II while still remaining officially neutral.
Atlantic Crossing is supposed to be shown on PBS Masterpiece during the spring of 2021, from what I've read. Here is the song and the lyrics:
When by Susanne Sundfør
When can I see you again?
I've been waiting out here for so long and I
Don't seem to find a reason
To keep building these castles out of snow
They only melt away
When spring is arriving and you won't be here
Waiting to drag me down into your pond
You bury me slowly, you bury me slowly
Take what you can
Give what you don't need
Still I'll let it be known in every parish
You are loved, you are loved
When can I see you again?
I've been waiting out here for so long and I
Don't seem to find a reason
To keep building these castles out of snow
They only melt away
When spring is arriving and you won't be here
Waiting to drag me down into your pond
You bury me slowly, you bury me slowly
Take what you can
Give what you don't need
Still I'll let it be known in every parish
You are loved, you are loved
You are loved, you are loved
You are loved, you are loved
