NOHRLAND - Help me get over you


November 20, 2024

It’s hard to explain why, but throughout these 23 years of promoting independent artists, we've always had a soft spot for Scandinavian artists. Oh yes, Sweden, Norway, and Finland have spoiled us for years. More recently, it's Germany that’s bringing us an abundance of new talent.

But if we’d been told that it was in between—right in Denmark—where we’d find one of the most beautiful voices and souls of the indie scene in Sophia, singer-songwriter and frontwoman of the band NOHRLAND, we might have been surprised. Yet, these Danes truly have some incredible stories to tell, with melodies that could make most American artists green with envy.

NOHRLAND's take on "Help me get over you"

These lyrics speak to anyone who has ever faced the tough decision to walk away from something that once meant everything. For me, it is actually a job situation- something I thought was my dream job in my everyday life, but it nearly broke me down instead, and I had to let it go, though I was so scared of what was to come afterward. Can I find anything that means that much to me? At the same time I felt foolish not seeing that I made it a dream job only in my fantasy and in real life it was definitely not working at all. But I need help to move on because the heartbreak is really devastating. The song is written by Jan Kølle from NOHRLAND (the dobro) and the country folk singer from Denmark Rebekka Thornbech. I produced the song myself and made it blend into my sentimental vibe - from where I find my comfort zone. it's sad I know! But I like to dwell on things, and that can be heard in my vocals.

A bit more about NOHRLAND

Nohrland is my band and my universe. Everything there is what my inner world sounds like. The lyrics I write are deeply personal. They come from my own life – moments of struggle, everyday life, illness, and family relationships that leave their mark. Nature has always been a place of healing for me, and growing up in the countryside surrounded by forests and fields, singing was my way of working through life’s ups and downs. We’ve had some incredible opportunities already in NOHRLAND- from our pretty emotionally charged performance at the Foxtail Roots Festival in Copenhagen to being featured on the Danish national morning show: Go’ Morgen Danmark, where our words and music found their way to the audience. Songs like “Remember Me,” “Tide,” and “Coma Stream” have been picked up in films and TV, which made our name stand out in Denmark. Collaborating with Grammy-winning songwriters at the Nashville Nights Songwriter Camp has allowed us to expand our music further. Our latest single, Help Me Get Over You, has already been warmly received by music lovers in the USA, Brazil, and Belgium.

Lyrics

One of these days I’ll find the strength to carry on                       

One of these days I’m gonna leave 

Maybe someday I won't care what’s right or wrong

Maybe someday I won't grieve

 

But I’m down on my knees just like a fool

Down on my knees, the same like you

Down on my knees just like the time

I was still in love with you

Help me get over you

 

We’ve been down this road so many times before

It never leads us anywhere

And I’ve lost count of all the reasons not to stay

So I fight to walk away

 

But I’m down on my knees just like a fool

Down on my knees, the same like you

Down on my knees just like the time

I was still in love with you

Help me get over you

We’ve been dragging each other down

Down to the ground

We’ve been carrying this weight around

For far too long

Help me get over you

Whoah we’ve been dragging each other down

Down to the ground

We’ve been carrying this weight around

For far far too long

Help me get over you

Down on my knees the same like you

Woah I’m down on my knees just like the time

I was still in love with you

Help me get over you

(Help me get over you)

Help me get over you
