The diversity in taste of music,displayed by music lovers, always amuses me.
Thank you bbryan well said.
Bill as long as you play diverse music I will support you. Gatlinburger has induced me to increase my support.

Funny that you would cancel your support because of one song, or even a dozen songs. You must have some great FM around your area of the world to turn to. On the east coast of the US there there are no FM stations that compare to RP. I don't know about you, but in order to hear all sorts of new things I expect that I won't like some. It's the price of admission.

Bill, this song sucks. Please stop playing it. I cancelled my support (as little as it was) in a large part because of your insistence on playing this crap... Listen to the words... Every cliche, BS kinda crap, looking for a rhyme, set to a 70's cover band soundtrack... What is your fascination w/ this dude? It sucks!

aelfheld: Go back to your cross word puzzles.
"From the pedestrian tunes of the Northmen, save us, Lord."
Isn't this the coolest break-up song you ever heard?

Yummy voice. Norway rocks. Like the lyric.
How's the rest of the CD?
Madrugada's CDs were a tad uneven.
Upped my rating. This dude just sounds good - as does his Madrugada work...I owe RP for both...
Sounds like they borrowed Peter Buck from R.E.M.
Madrugada meets A-ha?
Play it more often!
First time I crank up a song this morning.

I like this song but I wish they wouldn't play it so often...

Do those drugs include religion, pedantry, stress and nationalism, or just the traditional nicotine, alcohol, synthetics and opiates? I'm dying to know! Hannio wrote:

With all due respect Hannio: BS.
But I can understand your attitude. Americans are among the highest per capita narcotics users in the world.

Man I really enjoy Madrugada tracks whenever they come on and same goes for Sivert now I guess.
I am still always surprised to see that Madrugada is Norwegian...this time cued by his last name :)

Norwegians have always had a fascination with the 'south': Morocco, Spain, Italy. Understandable given the northerly latitude of country. Madrugada is Spanish and Portugese for the dawn. The first light.
The adventurer Thor Heyerdahl—a source of inspiration for all Norwegians including the diaspora—settled in Italy where he could be warm, by the sea, and see mountains.

Not really. IMHO, there is such a thing as an accidental overdose.
It would be difficult for anyone, especially a casual observer to determine Robert's intent, thus relegating the "killed himself" portion of No_Where_Man's statement to the "dubious conclusion" category.
We only know Robert died as a result of an overdose, we don't know if he did it intentionally.

madrugada and associated acts is sort of like RP's 'life is a highway' — a bit overplayed...
I love this song, definitely a 9.
BUT!!! The production is utter crap!! When listening to this with it hurts my ears. The recording is way too loud, therefor it all sounds really distorted....

But he said, and I quote: "I'm going to give this the best that I got." Plus, he has one of those o's with a slash through it in his name. Seriously, what's not to like?
I liked Madrugada's "Majesty" from the first moment that I heard it, but even that has gotten old now, Bill... And while I'll agree that he has a great voice, this song is just mediocre at best. The lyrics are typical of a foreigner (not having English as their first language), really very basic, as is the music itself. Any number of '70s cover bands could have come up with something better than this.
Sorry, but I just don't get the adoration of this guy...

This song got my attention from the laundry in the other room. I like it! It does, however, make me want it to be 1985 again.

FYI to all, Madrugada is no longer.The lead guitarist (Robert Burås) killed himself. So Sivert Høyem is now on his own.
After the death of Burås on July 12, 2007 Høyem and Jacobsen decided to finish recording their latest album. The album, entitled Madrugada, was released on January 21, 2008. After the release of the album the band announced they would split after one last tour. They performed their last ever concert on November 15 2008 at Oslo Spektrum in Oslo, Norway.
My point ..... please support Sivert in his new album called:

One cannot be paramount all the time and yes, probably it is the synergy. I guess this is one of the classic band-member-goes-solo situations, which by the way is respectable in this case considering the unfortunate death of Robert Burås, where comparing is inevitable but likewise unfair. Sivert's voice is unmistakable but he might happen to want to make other, slightly boring, admitted, music than (with) Madrugada.
Still it raises a fair interest to other tracks of the same album.
Given how much I like Majesty (especially the live version), I thought I would like this more. Is Majesty just one of those perfect moments or what? Was it the synnergy of Madrugada? Opinions. . . .
