- After having worked on a number of Christmas classics for our TV special, trying to write a Christmas song ourselves felt like a daunting task. But once we got started, we really enjoyed the process, and we're excited about having made our small contribution to such a time-honored tradition. So happy we got Kristoffer Lo to arrange and play the beautiful horns and Torjus Vierli to lay down a wonderful piano track.
«Lights» is maybe not the most obvious Christmas song you’ll ever hear, but it’s as close as we got.😆 It celebrates the somewhat abstract feeling of home that can mean different things to different people. A room, a house, a person, a certain smell, the warmth of a cat in your lap, or a special group of people. The things we’re all in search of, the feeling of being welcomed with unconditional love and the space to be fully yourself.
And in case you were wondering - we hereby announce that we have a Christmas album coming out! It will be released on November 17th (only as a digital release this year). To make sure you don’t miss out when the time comes, pre-save the album here: orcd.co/lights...

I first heard this song while on my first day ever in Norway. The video was published just a day prior. I was sitting in the kitchen of my Airbnb hosts with an overview of a beautiful fjord. I am from Romania but I couldn't stop thinking how similar to the video my childhood was. Also, my mother is half Scandinavian but she never knew until recently. How surprising life is...
@@romeob.8550 so sweet, thank you for sharing! ❤️
Wow. Very emotional for me especially seeing the home video. Makes me think of my dad who passed away last yr and missing him esp during the holidays. Thank you.
@@budlight72 aw, thanks for sharing that. ❤️ Music can bring up memories and fortunately also offer comfort.
A friend of mine from Norway recommended this song to me and I don't regret it. Beautiful track. I like your voice, the melody and how gently you play with the form of the song. I like such subtleties.
Thank you! This means a lot. 😊
I don't know how your song ended up on my youtube homepage, but thank God it did. Your voice is heavenly. This music video is my preferred aesthetic. I have an old soul and I love vintage, retro everything. I love that you are making music like this. Keep it up cause you just earned a new fan ;)
Aw! Thanks so much! ❤️
Sweet, beautiful, touching, full of human lights... Thanks for sharing.
Blessings from France.
