FEEL AGAIN
Written by Mirjam Johanne Omdal, Magnus Martinsen, Andreas Gjone and Erika Dahlen
daWorks Music Publishing/The Woods Publishing
I’m a thief, I’m a friend
I’m a ghost, I’m alive
I’m a rock, I’m a mess
I will fall, I will fly
And the storm never ends
You can run, but where do you hide
In the night
There’s a void in my chest, but tonight I’m alive
I’ve been waiting for too long
I’m not afraid to feel again, feel again
Had it in me all along
I’m not afraid to feel again, feel again
In the rain when the sky’s
falling down I’ll be fine
‘Cause I know all I need
Is the truth by my side
Though the storm never ends
I will run, I’m not gonna hide
In the night
‘Cause I know I’m alive
And I’ve been waiting for too long
I’m not afraid to feel again, feel again
Had it in me all along
I’m not afraid to feel again, feel again
Oooh
Feel again, feel again
I’ve been waiting for too long
I’m not afraid to feel again, feel again
All these emotions, they were frozen, oh my
Deep in the ocean, in slow motion, I dive
Waiting for too long
I’m not afraid to feel again, feel again
Had it in me all along
I’m not afraid to feel again
‘Cause I’ve been waiting for too long
I’m not afraid to feel again, feel again
Had it in me all along
I’m not afraid to feel again, feel again
Oooh
Feel again, feel again
I’ve been waiting for too long
I’m not afraid to feel again, feel again
I’m a thief, I’m a friend
I’m a ghost, I’m alive

One year later and still a masterpiece! So underrated! It was one of my most played songs of 2021. Kaja, I really hope you come back to MGP one day!

[@metalvisionsongcontest7055]

For anyone interested, here's how the key change works: The song is in F#m, then she sings the 5th (C#5), which becomes the minor 3rd of the new key, Bbm. So it's a key change of a major 3rd, which is pretty uncommon, but we've heard it e.g. in "Sognu" (France 2011). The highest note she has to hit here is an Ab5 (like in Iveta Mukuchyan's "LoveWave"). Then at the end, the song remains on Db, the parallel tonic to Bbm, and with Db being equivalent to C#, which is the dominant of F#m, she can get back to the original key of the chorus. Pretty clever!

Real musician

[@danielpashley5614]

I must say I find the modulation in this song really pleasing, and the mysterious, spacey chords at the bridge are also fun.

[@itzikisthename]

Thank you, exactly what I was curious of.

[@Jurij_vlasov]

At 02:13 I like the key change, while at 02:28 the key of the song goes back to the original one. This is very cool move to take! Getting out of standard structure of the song! Well done!

[@LaVoixCZ]

exactly. amazing

[@metalvisionsongcontest7055]

I was kind of zoning out of the song last night when suddenly that key change happened, and the respect I had for the song (and the singer for mastering that key change plus all the high notes effortlessly) immediately went up by a long shot ^^.
