From the album Unreleased
This is my take on a ballad by the norwegian composer Geir Tveitt (1908-1981) called "Vi skal ikkje sova bort sumarnatta" - meaning something like "Let's not waste the summernight by sleeping". The song is originally a tender, lyrical piece - so I thought it would be funny to do it more "vikingish" - with manly singing, bombastic percussion and ..eh kazoo. I had a great time doing it, and haven't made this kind of music since the early nineties. Credits: Homemade Summer Music 2006 (Lyrics: Lygre / Music: Tveit)

RECENT ARTIST NOTES

Recent feedback...

Svolder received the following comment: "I can imagine this song becoming somewhat of a personal automobile anthem, singing along every morning on my way to work. The kazoo is on the dashboard, waiting." --spilling (posted 05/24/06)

Deep Down in Texas received the following comment: "This song makes me wanna run and jump and escape the police in clever ways. I like the feel of it, I can't explain it better than wanting to run." --Dave Scheys (posted 05/18/06)

En Sommersang received the following comment: "I know this song since it was released on tape more than 10 years ago - I still love it - Anton Balsam is one of my all-time-fave-musicians in the whole wide world for sure !! If you like real underground and non-clone-music you'll be right with someone crazy and true like ANTON BALSAM. No one gave me money to write this - I'm just a real fan ! Also check out the greatest viking-song forever - "Ormen Lange" and the most funny "Good Morning" song "Hola Manolo Hola Paco" - Grrrreat !!! 10 of 10 possibly points ! " -- (posted 11/14/05)
