Lyder Røed - New Single - Legs
This is a song about seeing past age, and seeing beauty as a thing that remains, even with the deterioration of the physical body. With the first listen the song has a melancholy feeling to it, but as you listen to it again it's more upflifting and empowering than the first impression. It is sung by Sofie Tollefsbøl from Fieh who is backed up by a large ensamble (OJKOS). The tune is written by Lyder Røed and produced by Lars Horntveth.
