Hovland pokes gentle fun at folksy, prosaic, embroidered house blessings, such as \"Live now and live strong\", she sings of hopelessly elevated expectations about the joy of going out on the town, and about how poor we Scandinavians are at sharing our emotions. She also sings love songs so vulnerable and raw that you should probably wear sunglasses if you dare listen to them in the presence of others.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAround Ellen Sofie Hovland's expressive voice and guitar Morten Qvenild has created a small star-studded universe of strikingly beautiful sounds produced by numerous keyboards.
