The song "Beautiful world" was written and recorded in March and May 2020. It expresses gratitude and love for being alive and loved in the beautiful world we live in. The music video was filmed during the Covid-19 lockdown.

These are some of my other music videos on YouTube.
The trailer for my ninth album,
The Courage to Believe (2020), with short previews from all the 12 songs. You may listen to or download the songs from this website, or listen to them on Spotify, iTunes or other major online streaming services. You can download the lyrics below in PDF format (printable booklet).
"A simple song" (2020) is taken from "
The Courage to Believe", and was the last song to be written for the album. It's a song about a dream of writing a song with the power to make the whole world sing along, a multitude of souls joining one by one in heavenly praise.
The Christmas song
Choirs of angels was my only release in 2019, and is purely based upon the Bible's story in Luke chapter 2 of the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem. It was relased on December 1. In addition to the lyrics, the video uses footage from old movies with shepherds, the crib in the stable, Mary, Joseph, baby Jesus and other iconic scenes. I was touched by the positive response I received on the video and the song from people around the world, from strangers to friends and relatives.
The song "Love imagination" was written and recorded the first week of July 2018. The accompanying music video shows four band members performing the song (vocalist, bass player, synth player and drummer), where all four of them are performed by Finn Harald Røed. The numerous scenes shot from different angles and distances of each band member were filmed separately between July 17 and July 22, 2018. During the next few weeks, the different clips were edited and combined into the final music video which was released on August 15, 2018.
The music video for "Somebody precious" was originally released on October 5, 2017 – one week after the album "Pieces of life". The video switches between and combines footage of me singing/playing and clips from old B&W horror movies, some of them being about one hundred years old. The movie clips widens the experience, interpretation and perspective of what the song is about, inviting the viewer inside a bizarre dream about the search for "somebody precious" in a world where true love is hard to find.
See you was written and recorded during the first quarter of 2017. The music video was filmed and produced early April. It was relased on YouTube on April 13 as a pre-release for the full album "Pieces of life" that came out in September 2017.
