about

Song about a beautiful woman.

lyrics

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

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 ... more
