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.

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
