about
Imagine the desolate forested wilderness of northern Scandinavia. An icy-cold winter’s night. The eerie silence shattered by the piercing howl of a lonely wolf. This atmosphere is the inspiration for Talvatis, the first single by the Swedish band High Coast. Revolving around Daniel Walke’s acoustic guitar and a haunting slide guitar, the listener is taken on a journey through a remarkable landscape that few ever experience.
lyrics
streetlights make the snow all yellow
and the breeze sings to me an ancient mellow tune
i can barely see the trees
oh have i strayed into a dream
this journey seemed to take forever
but now i'm here at the end of every road
the mist lies over the lake
there's no way i'll leave this place today
but oh, northern lights, where are you
oh, northern lights
train tracks are leading through the haze
all covered in snow, which gives me this notion
i could walk along those tracks
but it's by this quiet lake i take my final farewell
oh, northern lights, where are you
oh, northern lights
did i come all this way only to miss out on you
did i travel all this way only to miss out on you
