Picasso 04:28
Picasso She’s walking through the wilderness And thinking ‘bout the happiness and roses Her absent mind is souring wild She’s a woman but sometimes she’s like a child with choices And her postman sends her letters, to the sun It always burns but it’s getting better You know Picasso, wasn't always known maybe afraid like you, to be alone. And she paints her picture fragment As she makes another statement This is the life that you own And you are the queen of its throne With a glass of red vine in her hand And a Cuban cigar on a stand, she’s ruling She sits so good in her lazy chair And thinks about to cut her hair, just cooling. And she writes another letter to the sun You know it burns but it’s getting better You know Picasso, wasn't always strong Maybe afraid like you, to sing a song. And she makes another wise-crack As she gets back on her good track This is the life that you own And you are the queen of its throne

Black and white world I dreamt about a black and white world Nothing was in colour nothing like no other Everything so pale I dreamt about a black and white world Everything was wasted Nothing really tasted Nothing quenched my thirst I dreamt that I found an answer Your mind can be like a cancer Just laugh and your colours will be there Your colours will be there I dreamt I was in a black and white world Nothing really smelling The flowers wasn’t selling Nothing had a scent I dreamt that I found an answer Your mind can be like a cancer Just laugh and your colours will be there Your colours will be there

Boy 04:58
Boy. He's just a little boy coming to his senses In this uncertain world clinging to his fences Bright as sky above when you see him laughing Discovering the love in the faces that surround him When he's taking his first steps- when he's saying his first words Daddy see me now I’m gonna be a strong - man I want to be like you And do what you do. Follow your dreams Life is so much more than flouting with the stream Harvest your thoughts, And you will see for a while that sun always shines on you Shine on you Over you. As long as you will walk This road we call the life Just keep your head above And don’t fall without a fight I send you best of luck, Hope your wishes comes true And all of the angels Come to watch over you When you making first mistakes When you are sorry for the first time You have to know by now, Life is like a game playing out its card For you Bernard Follow your dreams Life is so much more than flouting with the stream Harvest your thoughts, And you will see for a while that sun always shines on you Shine on you Over you.

about

– The music can best be described as soulful, contemporary folk music; and it‘s natural, harmonious flow, strong melodies and
dreamlike poetic quality, woven in a tapestry of a colourful mindscape
can be highly recommended as a therapeutic and relaxing remedy in the noisy and stressful environment of modern everyday life.

"Björn Björnsson"

about

hlyn Norway

Hlyn and project whistling gypsy.

Whistling gypsy is a project that was created in my sister Esther's living room in Hafnarfjordur, Iceland.

Our brother Hlöðver, who plays ukulele and mandolin, was activated and then we booked a studio.

3 years later the CD Letters and tattletales, was born.

Hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Peace
Hlynur
