About nú eru vit tvey fólk
“For this one writing session, I brought one sad and one happy poem and told the guys that I wanted to make songs out of both. One happy and one sad song. This is the sad one.” Dania says about her single “nú eru vit tvey fólk” (meaning: “now we’re two individuals”) which is the first single of her second EP “nei (pt. 1)”, the B-side of her next album “ja/nei – og restin av vikuni”.
“The lyrics came out of a terrifying thought I had one day. I caught myself doing some toxic thinking. I was imagining that my partner was intentionally trying to get rid of me by being busy all the time. We are both very busy people, so we don’t always see each other that much. With many things happening throughout our days, it’s crucial to catch up every night. If we don’t ask each other how it’s going regularly, we’ll lose each other in streams of unconsciousness and weird headspaces where we pretend we’re alone and don’t have anything to share. Lack of communication causes people to forget why they’re together and can make them start romanticizing other realities where they’re alone, or with other people.”
“Now we’re two individuals is an honest song that demanded a lot of courage for me to put into words and share with others. I hope it can help people admit these private thoughts and say them out loud. It might save them a lot of trouble even though it’s not easy.”
