If the spirit of the mist could sing us a lullaby, how would it sound like?
I created this song with an intention to give you a little glimpse into that mystical realm of the mist, which I feel is like a bridge between our world and other dimensions. The mist has always been an inspiration in my work and art. It's just something there that excites me so deeply.
When the mist is dancing over the forest lakes in the bright nights, I feel like I get to see and experience something that is almost not real in our physical world. It's almost pulling me into something else. Like it's calling on us, to be still and listen, and to connect to something deeper within us.
All the mist that you see in this video, is 100% real and filmed in the beautiful nature where I live.
I also wanted to give this song a touch of the ancient nordic folktunes, which has this incredible way of sounding sad and hopeful at the same time. In Swedish you call it "vemod". The closest I can describe it is as a melancholy feeling. And I have always felt very drawned to that. I like when the line between feelings is erased, so that you can feel it all at the same time. The sorrow, the joy, the light and the dark, the heaviness of being a human, the beauty of being alive. The physical world and the spirit world.
I feel like I could go on forever and talk about this. But enough talking for now! :)
I really hope you will enjoy the song and the music video.
It's in Swedish, but I will write the lyrics to it down below.
LOTS of love to you all! ♥
► Lyrics in Swedish + English translation (Text and music: Jonna Jinton)
Så lilla vän
(Sweet friend)
Dimman för dig hem igen
(The mist will carry you home again)
Om du går vilse
(If you get lost)
Natten är lång
(The night is long)
Tusen stjärnors urtidssång
(The ancient song of a thousand stars)
Dimmorna dansar
(The mist is dancing)
Sov lilla vän
(Sleep little friend)
Skogen vaktar, värmer dig
(The forest guards you, and keep you warm)
Om du är frusen
(If you are cold)
Norrskensljus
(Northern lights)
Dansar över skog och fjäll
(Dancing over the forest and mountains)
Brinner i natten
(Burning in the night)
Så lilla vän
(Sweet friend)
Dimman för dig hem igen
(The mist will carry you home again)
Om du går vilse
(If you get lost)
