Spin 04:05
Tell me
 You won’t give in on that day 
When will you try again?
 My oh my 
Don’t let it shake it you up 
Everytime 
If I could calm the fire 
That rages inside 
I would surely try 
If I could stop myself 
I wouldn’t run away 
From everything that you hide Deep sigh 
A part of you needs life 
But you can’t breathe in 
You’ve gone too far and so 
The wheel keeps on spinning Once again we are lost 
In the park of possibilities 
When did we grow too old 
To leave our kisses on the ferriswheel 
If I could calm the fire
 That rages inside 
I would surely try
 If I could stop i wouldn’t run away from you You and I are howling at the moon 
You and I are swimming in the sea 
I always thought the truth is coming soon 
 Tell me who do you want to be? Deep sigh 
A part of you needs life 
But you can’t breathe in 
 You’ve gone too far and so 
 The wheel keeps on spinning

Unknown under the same moon 
As we went through the park at night 
Day and Night have switched their sides 
 From locked to open ends We were young that night 
We went through the garden
 Through the hole in the fence
 And kisses like ardent spring
 Your tongue is thicker than mine
 I know that now
 You knew so many words 
Each sound each line
 Of my favorite books and my favorite songs 
Tell me, how do you know them ?
 Tell me, how do you know me so well ? Unknown under the same moon 
As we went through the park at night 
Day and Night have switched their sides 
 From locked to open ends I’ve worn your words since then 
I’ve put them on my body
 They’re tight, they keep me warm 
I’ll read them again and again 
They make me warmer than I’ve ever been 
I don’t want them to come of 
I don’t want them to come of 
Everyday I go back to that hole 
I go into it and out of it and into it and out of it 
 Into it and out of it 
Can’t find my way out of it again 
I’ve lost my selfcontrol in it I was good on my own 
 With you I’m better 
 Say I’m better Unknown under the same moon 
As we went through the park at night 
 Day and Night have switched their sides 
 From locked to open ends

Bad Lovers 03:07
Now we’re walking on the moon
 'You and I
 You told me, it’s the last goodbye
 
 Then you turned around and held my hand 
Then we were one again Looking through black glass 
 All layers of the flood 
Too tight
 How did we end here? 
 Deviously appear 
 At night 

Nobody warned us 
 Need Someone to trust Endlessly 
Are we all bad lovers? 
 Feels like gravity 
Don’t leave

about

German-born GRETA is ready with her long-awaited debut EP and invites you into her dreamy synthpop universe, created in close collaboration with the Berlin- based Norwegian artist and producer FARAO.

‘Ardent Spring • Part I’ is a collection of the many songs Greta has written which did not fit with Ida Red or her old band Who Is Louis. These are songs that have set a new course and direction and has created a whole new universe for the singer.


She tells us that all the music is written during spring which is often a time full of seasonal changes and elaborates: “Spring to me is often where I take my time to think and where my head is filled with chaos and new ideas bloom. Especially the spring in Berlin and Copenhagen has inspired me - the very contrast between nature (which is constantly changing) and hard concrete ( which pretty much remains as it is).”


These are songs about love, inner turmoil, finding yourself, dreams, hopes and constant longing for the ardent spring.


We are still moving around in GRETA’s dreamy 80s inspired synthpop universe, where the music is both playful, vivid, floating and dreamy at the same time. The debut EP brings together the three singles ‘Bad Lovers’, the title song ‘Ardent Spring’ and ‘Spin’ with the three new tracks ‘White’, ‘Wilderness’ and ‘Baby’.


The debut EP is recorded and produced in Berlin in close collaboration with the Berlin-based Norwegian artist and producer FARAO.
