Teitur Lassen, from Hoyvík, Faroe Islands, first came to the attention of the world with the release of his 2003 debut album Poetry & Aeroplanes, which won him rave reviews.
He concentrates on creating inspiring melodies and gentle but finely observed, often wry and quirkily observant lyrics. Since the release of his debut album, he has toured non-stop.
In 2006, in between performing at many major European festivals, Teitur started to record his second album.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Basically just play the three top notes of each chords, Sometimes the 4th on the D#m in the verses, but listen to the record to figure it out.
C#mD#m x2
C#mD#m Our minds run in circles C#mD#m Racing 'round the restaurant F#mG#m Searching for what more to say AmBm To say what we really want C#mD#m Let's leave it like it is C#mD#m Stop staring at these walls F#mG#m Let's not go headlong to that distance AmBm Where you can't come back at all
Am Let's go dancing G#m Waltz around the rumour mill C#mAmG#mF#m In your faded dress with the daf-fo-dils G#mAm Let's go dancing BmC#m Let time stand still
Verse 2(same chords) Once your name was but a whisper A simple wish upon my tongue Staring at your shadow Was like staring at the sun In this dark, dark hour You still illuminate a room Oh God give us the power Gotta keep ourselves in tune
Let's go dancing Waltz around the rumour mill In your faded dress with the daffodils Let's go dancing Let time stand still
