”Poems” is a collection of three timeless pieces by three adored poets from three different centuries. The work of Dylan Thomas, Queen Elizabeth I and Edgar Allan Poe spoke to me and these three poems became my favorites. By putting music to them, it felt like a timeless connection between the writers and me. The poems, about the death of a father; about not finding a place of belonging in the world; and about ill-fated love, all remain topical today, 65, 200 and 400 years later.
Also included are two of my own songs. “Spiders”, about the monsters in our minds and “The Fault In Our Stars” inspired by John Green’s book with the same name.
I hope you will enjoy the songs as much as I enjoyed making them!
Love,
Hildur Höglind

lyrics
There are spiders on the walls, love
I can see them, clear as day
There are tigers on the floor, love
Can’t you make them go away?
There are horrors going on
Under my bed
I’ve got monsters in my head
Can’t you see, can’t you see, can’t you see, can’t you see, can’t you hear them?
Don’t you feel, don’t you feel, don’t you feel, don’t you feel, don’t you fear them?
There’s a killer on the run, love
I have seen it on the news
He’s coming with a gun, love
I could swear it, but not prove
There are horrors going on
Under my bed
I’ve got monsters in my head
Can’t you see, can’t you see, can’t you see, can’t you see, can’t you hear them?
Don’t you feel, don’t you feel, don’t you feel, don’t you feel, don’t you fear them?
There are horrors going on
Under my bed
There are horrors going on
inside my head
There are monsters like I said
Can’t you see, can’t you see, can’t you see, can’t you see, can’t you hear them?
Don’t you feel, don’t you feel, don’t you feel, don’t you feel, don’t you fear them?
Can’t you see, can’t you see, can’t you see, can’t you see, can’t you hear them?
Don’t you feel, don’t you feel, don’t you feel, don’t you feel, don’t you fear them?
There are horrors going on
Under my bed
There are horrors going on
inside my head
There are monsters like I said
