Carsten Pieper Honestly, I would have preferred if Islandic favourites Árstídir returned singing in their lovely native language (which I don't understand at all, but love the sound of), but better have new songs in English by them than none...
These complaints apart, quality folk-pop, as could be accepted :-)
The refrain of this new song is quite crosbystillsandnashy, btw.
PS In the meantime, I learned that this tracks reappears in Islandic on their upcoming (and great) new album Pendúll :-)))

lyrics

I want freedom to come
like a breeze in your auburn hair
and when we forget ourselves
then you know I will meet you there

I want freedom to be
as easy as closing your eyes
a wave on the ocean when
I promise to arrive with the tide

I want freedom to be
the light on your eyelids when
I wake you with a touch
and our story begins again

Still I run away
feel that I can't stay
I can't see me part of your destiny

We talk it all over and
I wonder to what end we go on
playing the same old game
both knowing that this time
I'll come back to you

Two lovers astray
and I love when you act that way
The only thing I can say
is that I never wanted you more

I want freedom to be
the thing you scream
when you come in my arms

And I want you free just like me
I want your touch
but not all of your time

We talk it all over and
I wonder to what end we go on
playing the same old game
both knowing that this time...

But we talk it all over and
and I wonder to what end
that we're playing this same old game
one more time
and I wonder to what end

Like the other day
all I tried to say
was that you are the only one
I will ever m.i.s.s.
