Description
Hidden Gold
This song was written in 2014. It talks about this “hidden gold” that lives in every soul and heart of every human being and only waits to be found. One of the messages in the song is that we should try to look at people and their situations and see who they really are and not judge on what we see with our bare eyes. The main message is to love unconditionally as Jesus loves. This is indicated in a short old church song “Let me be more like you”, that is sung as an intro to “HiddenGold”. The song is written with a main message in the Bible in mind: That you should love your neighbour as you love yourself, that we love because God loved us first, and the writer has a deep wish that people, whoever they are, will know the love of God through the love of God’s people. The song is a simple and honest song, a duet between the voice and the guitar. “Thank you, Benjamin, for your beautiful, sensitive and spiritual music played through the guitar. It complements the message so well – especially in the outro, where there is only the guitar playing and there is time for the listener to just sit back and let the thoughts roam.” Hervør says.
Released on the following formats:
Digitally on all major platforms (Spotify, Apple Music, etc.).

Hidden Gold
Translation of intro song: Eyðun Jacobsen
Words & music: Hervør Sabina á Torkilsheyggi
Lat meg líkjast meiri tær
Jesus lat meg líkjast meiri tær
Lær ,eg at elska ein og tú
Lat meg líkjast meiri tær.
If I could only learn to love, really love
the world might smile
An old fat lady with her candy bar
They’re staring, saying she should change her style
Struggling up the stairs one more time
Hiding the shame in her eyes
If they would only listen for a while
They would see the sacrifices in her life
– the eating makes the pain go away
A teenage girl with her heavy makeup
They say she’s a hore and nothing more
Behind the make up there are scars
In her heart there’s a big black hole
If they would only listen for a while
They would know she’s been beaten and she has cried
– the makeup makes the pain go away
If I could only think good of you
In every soul there’s hidden gold
If I could only learn to love
Really love
the world might smile
An alcoholic living down our street
We don’t really wanna see him
Cannot take the smell of his raggy,dirty clothes
We make fun of him as he goes
If we would only listen for a while
We would know he’s been left by his wife
She took the kids she didn’t stay
– the drinking makes the pain go away
If I could only think good of you
In every heart there’s hidden gold
If I could only learn to love
Really, really love
the world might smile
smile
smile
smile – He can make them smile.
