1.
Look at me. Do you see? Oh, trust in me now ’cause I cannot recall what hope feels like And fearing the tide Fearing the lies A glimt of the naked life Who can make the swallow sing again?
2.
Your Name 03:37
Then you showed up After all these years And in a minute everything was clear I see through you again - I don’t relay ‘cause even if we’d go back in time The race would still be lost by now Now that I see you I can’t believe you You’re the same, the same I’m giving it all up and all that I have left Is your name, your name Trying your best to persuade that we should have another try again So I go out to meet you To great you on the stairs But I will turn you away ‘til the end of days Hello hello, what are you going through? Who are you married to? Head home and face the truth
3.
In Time 04:27
My time is running low Can I resolve the race and seise the simple grace? I’m aching for all eyes and to be a someone again but then again for whom? But over time and endless seasons I’ll fight my pride But over time I’ll find ease here I’ll stride in time In time The ticking clock will stop Unwind me to the start And readjust my thoughts A younger me appear I’ll greet myself arriving there There there - we did our best Down the hill a lucid man will bloom ’cause everything I’ve felt so far was true I’ll bloom
4.

5.
For so long and before you I was less than a simple move Just gliding through the view Awake the cunning man He is found in a hidden land and now ready to understand Love is not a bad way to start You can’t hold back my heart Love is not a bad way to start You can’t hold back my heart Feelings. I’ve had me a few Was afraid of the present past and everything that was new Gave in and dropped my weight I will die as I run the sun Hopelessly committed I can not believe that I’m in it
6.
Stay Low 04:07
Don’t let go Just turn the page And we will a find our place We’re writing our story But you shouldn’t worry This is not our final chapter Place your body close to mine And drift into my sight If you never go then I will stay low I will hold you and idle for a while ’cause we were never know to take things slow So I cherish the time that I have with you Redefine the storyline My mind is set on you And all the things left to do ’cause we are, we are, we are Drift between a millions stars and a million more Sing me a song when days they are long And I will listen to every note
7.
Man will take from all and feel strong for all year long But man will realize that the pot will soon run dry They say they have a plan We lean back - don’t make a stand It’s words without a goal That we know ‘cause even I like to lie We’re so predictable Even I like to lie We’re so predictable Man will dig the ground to secure he’s safe and sound So even when sleep man will cut the highest tree
8.
(instrumental)
9.
My Home 03:57
Eager soul I had my hopes when I left the wellknown Chasing ghosts Running uncontrolled down every road I searched them all in a blur Looking for more I’ve danced like the sunset through the night Ran above the water ‘til rise I’ve broke though the mirror on my own Now I see it clearer My home, my home Hollow talk like the wind blow it’s all just for show Broken sounds from the centre of town made me walk out I heard ‘em all in the swarm So I kept looking for more You’ll be the first Right of the verge to take me far from home and everything I’ve ever known and make a new Just me and you
10.
In the Dark 04:43
She’s deep in the woods now as the final rays retract And over her shoulder there is nothing but her tracks Gathers and places A spark grows bigger Calming all the choices we made of all the strings we never played And all we do in the dark We be whomever we need to be The things we do in the dark We will have a sacred place where we can always lay down our weights Hey little father I reckon there’s a place for you awake And over the highlands I reckon there’s a place to turn away
11.
Dazed, undisputedly But fading are the scars in me Over night a dawn will rise and atomize all of the ties Thinking of a place I’d rather see but there’s no other place I’d rather be When it’s cold you’re keeping me warm in my mind Over there I could build a home Growing vines will form a dome An island shore. I don’t know what we have in store Two eyes I can't forget Silly little soldier And I keep losing my own terrain But I'll keep risking the pain Silly little soldier 'cause I want it And I want it Them nights I never slept Your head on my shoulder So I will save you a spot in me It’s matching symmetry Wondering if I should even try It could break my spine as it has before Silly little soldier

about

Morten Fillipsen sets his focus on life in the early 30s on new album from In Memoirs - ‘Hope, Fear & Fashion’.

In Memoirs is the critically acclaimed solo project with international potential of singer and songwriter Morten Fillipsen. The dreamy, melancholy pop songs are accompanied by tales that revolve around Morten's own experiences. For the past ten years, Morten has proven to be a great talent in, among other things. the promising folk/rock band The Grenadines, and in the solo project In Memoirs.

In 2017, the critically acclaimed debut album 'Love, Dreams & Sunsets' was released, from which the single 'So You're Not Alone' was one of the most played songs on the Danish National Radio that year. The album was named 'Album of the Week' on P4, and five of the ten tracks were named 'Hit song of the Week' on the same radio channel.

Through the many clichés in popmusic, 'Love, Dreams & Sunsets' dealt with the big emotions of the mid-twenties and the optimistic 'happy-go-lucky' approach to life. The album was about living, chasing love and conquering the world.

On May 15, 2020, the follow-up 'Hope, Fear & Fashion' will be released, which is part two of a bigger thematic series of releases. The new album is more low-key than the debut, and revolves around the early 30's more mature view of life. Optimism has been replaced by realism and a fear that time has run away from you - but the dreams have not.

Two years ago, Morten was diagnosed with chronic hearing loss and tinnitus, which has had an impact on the album's theme.

“Time is running out if I am to succeed with music. It may sound a little pessimistic, but I'm not 20 years anymore. The album is an acceptance of that, "Morten Fillipsen says, and continues, “When you are young, you have to conquer the world. But as you get older, you discover and became aware that things didn't quite unfold as you expected. Now other priorities have come to life. And that's exactly what I wanted to explore with this album "

Hope, fear and what's modern are the themes of the album, and hope is very important to Fillipsen.

“It was important to me that the album should not copy the trends of what is modern right now. I cannot and will not follow a new wave. Let my imprint be something else - even though I may not make it easier on myself. I still have hopes and dreams for the future, but hope can only exist if there is fear too. Can and will I reach my goals? What is truly important in life? It is elemental and quite simple really, but important," Morten concludes.

Like the debut album, 'Hope, Fear & Fashion' is produced by Mads Björn, who previously has written and produced for TV2 and Lis Sørensen.

‘Hope, Fear & Fashion’ is out May 15th via Celebration Records

”This is music fit to make your heart burst, pop music at close to its very best.” - The Line Of Best Fit
