In their own words:

My name is Ole Morten, from the west coast of Norway. I’ve been doing music for the most part of my life and played in various bands over the years. Back in 2018 me and some friends got together and formed Strings Live Band. At first this was meant to be a cover band, but when Covid hit we wanted to do produce something of our own.

One evening I was sitting at my home office and looked out of the window, noticing the skies went by in a rather fast manner. That’s when I got to thinking, its pretty impressive how big of a force the earth has and we cant feel it, like the rotation etc. It all has a way to sort itself out, either we like it or not.

Lyrics:

Feel the earth spinning around
Feel the power in the ground
See the light above your head
Feel the wind in your hair

When you’re high or when you’re low
When you feel like losing control
Know that you are not alone,
this will mend to grow old
To grow old, to grow old

I got he biggest view tonight
Making a silly song with my eyes
All it takes is one more crack
To make the light come shining back
I’m trying to find my way home
I guess with you it’s already done
Now I’m driving on my own

This will mend to grow old (x3)

Feel the earth spinning around
Feel the power in the ground
See the light above your head
Feel the air

To grow old (x5)
