    The Story Behind Gabbarein: Gabbarein's inception traces back to Hafstad and Bono's meeting at a Shamanic sound-healing retreat in Vermont. Their shared passion for sound healing and exploration of esoteric practices laid the foundation for this extraordinary project. The album is an outcome of their journey through various musical and personal landscapes, from the intense NOUS sessions to the transformative still love project. It's a testament to their enduring friendship, trust, and creative synergy.

    The recording took place in a small cottage overlooking a Norwegian fjord, where the artists were inspired by the majestic surroundings and the mysterious presence of a white reindeer. Hafstad's improvisational singing in her native language and Bono's sensitive musical accompaniment capture the essence of their experiences, making "Gabbarein" a deeply personal and spiritually resonant work.

    "Gabbarein" is more than an album; it's a portal to an experience. It's a reflection of the artists' innermost emotions, a blend of ancient Scandinavian musical traditions, and a tribute to the transformative power of friendship and art. The album's organic and improvised nature, combined with the stunning Arctic backdrop, makes it a unique and captivating listening experience.

WATCH THE VIDEO: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdYem7dFhh4

This haunting, atmospheric track explores themes of depression and mental health which are very personal to singer Cecilie Hafstad. It’s visually represented by a delicate, emotional music video by French director Astrid Biessy.

Gabbarein singer Cecilie Hafstad shares:
“This track is about getting stuck in depression. How one can make unsound and rash decisions out of fear when stuck in the darkness of the mind.

When this channeled through me I was transported back to when my good friend was going through a very hard time in his life. Being I have dealt with anxiety and depression myself, I was trying to guide him through a very hard time. ‘Kom her kom nå, ikke gå deg bort bare så - Come here come now don't get lost just stand there’ is about him not doing anything, just being still, standing still and not giving in to the depression and its hold. Unfortunately my friend didn't take my advice or believe in himself and his light and he ended his journey. It was all too painful for him.

The track is about hope and being in pain, how at its worst one must stand still and not over think or make any major decisions. Just be still. Not doing anything but just accepting it. Reaching out to friends, getting help, getting guidance and believing you can make it through. The last line ‘Du kan få det til’ translates to ‘You can do it.’”

Director Astrid Biessy adds:
“The first time I listened to Kom Her, I was deeply moved - the music has an otherworldly essence. When I close my eyes and listen, I see a sacred connection between all things, between life and death, between nature's creations and human-made granite walls, between the tangible and the invisible, between the old and the present, between those who thrive and those who suffer. It is the weaving of all these elements that creates the visual universe of Kom Her.”

lyrics

Kom Her Lyrics - Norsk
Kom her, kom nå
Ikke gå deg bort
Bare stå

Kom nå, kom nå
Ikke gå deg bort
Bare stå der

Jeg kan ikke forstå deg
Jeg hører det samme igjen

Kom, kom nå
Ikke gå deg vill
Bare stå der

Kom hit ikke gå
Bare hold min hånd
Og fortså meg

Du kan få det til

English Translation:
Come here, come now
Don't go away
Just stand

Come now, come now
Don't go away
Just stand there

I can not understand you
I hear the same thing again

Come, come now
Don't get lost
Just stand there

Come here don't go
Just hold my hand
And then me

You can make it happen
