⟼ "Animal Sequence" (2023) EP (Beaver, Snow owl, Kangaroo and Frog)
Lyrics written by Egil Martin Kurdøl:
BEAVER
I will bring down the tree - bring the tree down - open up to the stars – to the moon – to the sky I will bring the tree down - by the weight of the shadows – the night rest further away by the dreams abstraction – the sky is clouded by the evidence of the stones – colour is lost, fades away The sky is clouded – from the weight of the shadows because of the stillness from the lake- the image lifts up the night rest further away – the sky is clouded I will bring down the tree bring us closer to the moon – to the sky – to the stars open up to the sky and the stars and for everything to float- I will bring the tree down I will rest in my house rest in my home – rest for time rest in the sound of the stream everything to float free “–––” (thanks to Antoinette de Robien for parts of the lyrics)
SNOW OWL
We were so very happy the first time we came to you and saw All the composers playing the snow with their balls - in the snow Snow Owl – Snow Owl We were so ------------------- Snow Owl Snow Owl
KANGAROO
I want to touch the Kangaroo and see him smile I want to hug him for a while I want to jump beside him trough the woods but I will never be a Kangaroo that is understood Hop hop hop my sad Kangaroo hop hop hop that’s the thing to do I like to see the birds when they are flying around and listen to their beautiful sound but most of all I love the Kangaroo cause he knows how to hop the way I would like to do Hop hop --- “–––” Hop hop through Bimblebox and Burrangorang hop hop hop through the woods hop for your life to be understood.
FROG
He stretched his legs to far he was drinking bourbon in a bar Sad, sad sad for the frog sad for the frog He stretched his legs to far he was drinking four roses in a bar Sad, sad so sad for the frog sad for the frog

MARTIAL EAGLE
I see everything from high above,
The river floats forever down below
Lots of hippos and the big monitor (lizard)
I dive down until you all disappear
My purpose gives me energy – to maintain the balance for us all.
Take on black mambas without fear
I know my duty even if it seems hard to bear
I see the sleepy salamander
He always walks alone
Leave him in the darkest places
Something will remain unknown
My cousin working hard underground –
The honeybadger doing his part of the deal
Together with the crocodile we rule water, air and the ground.
I deeply love to see the malachite kingfisher – a relative so fabulous and colourful and dear to me –
My purpose gives me courage to maintain balance for us all.
