    ”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

Ahhhhhh
Ahhhhhh
Ahhhhhh

A breathing machine attached to her nose
I never understood the universe
She is more clever and witty than she knows
And a fighter, I can tell says the nurse
But she only makes matters much worse

Maybe this is not the fault of a God?
And maybe Karma’s innocent too?
Maybe we’re all just locked behind bars?
Or could it be the fault’s in the stars?
Maybe it’s the fault in our stars

I stagger through hallways, but don’t know where to
I never understood the universe
Her nails are painted perfect in dark navy blue
The nine was a ten says the nurse
but that only makes it all worse

Maybe this is not the fault of a God?
And maybe Karma’s innocent too?
Maybe we’re all just locked behind bars?
Or could it be the fault’s in the stars?
Maybe it’s the fault in our stars

Are you okay?
Are you okay?
Are you okay?

Maybe this is not the fault of a God?
And maybe Karma’s innocent too?
Maybe we’re all just locked behind bars?
Or could it be the fault’s in the stars?
Maybe it’s the fault in our stars

Ahhhhhh
Ahhhhhh
Ahhhhhh

Are you okay?
Are you okay?
Are you okay?

Maybe it’s the fault in our stars
