“Håkjerring/ Magnus Hovmork asked if I wanted to make a design to accompany the release of a new song. He made a cover version of a song he hadn’t heard, but only saw the song’s lyrics and melody/chords. Frøkedal & Familien, a Norwegian band, released a songbook & encourage people to make their own versions, which Magnus picked up.
SØN
Pitch black is the color of dreams
Light proof interior design
Thick blankets and blinds
It’s all I got
It’s all I need
To leave this place behind
The only way out
You all move like a flock of sheep
Hear me howling
Letting go of the sunlight
There’s a fire
spreading on your screens
Tell the people who keep stopping by
to forget about me
I no longer hear
any of your ideas
Let the records spin day and night
Breathe in and breathe out
You all move like a flock of sheep
You all live in denial
Hear me howling
I’m letting go of the sunlight
You all move like a flock of sheep
You all live in denial
To the fear in your bloodstream
Hear me howling
Letting go of the sunlight

SØN means son in norwegian, but sounds like the english, Sun.”
