Description

Midnight Gale

‘Midnight Gale’, is a song about lonely fishermen. The Faroes have a relatively large deficit of women, so many older men get mail-order-brides from East-Asia. The song questions whether they’re finally happy once their brides have arrived. On the track’s composition process, Sigmund says “We met some evenings in February drinking wine and Irish coffee. Faroe Islands is very far north so it’s super dark during the winter. We wanted to write a very standard country song and include as many clichés as possible. When it came time to record we ended up using an old harddisk recorder from 2005, and later on there was a malfunction with the drum machine, which is how we ended up with the sound you hear on ‘Midnight Gale’”.

Words & music: Heiðrik á Heygum, Sigmund V.P. Zachariassen

Did you buy your last love
on a whim or was it planned?
Was it fun?
Was it worth every dime spent on the line?
Oh, the black sea in a midnight gale

Does love as you paid for?
Does she laugh when it’s called for?
Are you scared to try without of the help
Of your wherewithal
Oh, the black sea in a midnight gale
