Eg høyrde vindsuset kalle meg
Oppi fjellet, oppi fjellet
Den tok meg vekk ifra folksom gard
Oppi fjellet, oppi fjellet
Og om dykk ikkje har hørt det før
Eg blir i Norges land eg til eg dør
Oppi fjellet, oppi fjellet

Her i vårt rike er alt vårt savn
Oppi fjellet, oppi fjellet
Kring masse skoger vi slår vår favn
Oppi fjellet, oppi fjellet
Og er det nokon som ikkje ser
Kvifor vi allrid til mor Noreg ber
Oppi fjellet, oppi fjellet

Ja, berg og gråstein det eter vi
Oppi fjellet, oppi fjellet
Vi skjems av blåmenn, vi går i hi
Oppi fjellet, oppi fjellet
Og friske elva den er for oss
Hvis du vil ha den så må du slåss
Oppi fjellet, oppi fjellet
Oppi fjellet, oppi fjellet

En grusom død venter hver en mann
Oppi fjellet, oppi fjellet
Som ikke hyller vårt faderland
Oppi fjellet, oppi fjellet
Ja vi er norske og stolte av det
De kristne kjøtere vil jo ikke se
Oppi fjellet, oppi fjelletNå har vi sagt det vi ville si
Oppi fjellet, oppi fjellet
For norske brødre som alt vil gi
Oppi fjellet, oppi fjellet
Skogtroll varsler en grusom død
Der Fenrisulven hørte samme glød
Oppi fjellet, oppi fjellet
Oppi fjellet, oppi fjellet
Hey!

Kan dere se han? Kan dere se han?
Se den kristne kjøter`n!
Deng ham opp! Deng ham opp!

Og om du noengang lukter kristenmanns blod
Oppi fjellet
Ja, hent øksa og... kutt dem ned!

    For those who are interested, I found the translation:

    Up In The Mountains

    They call Me the high winds Up in the mountains Up in the mountains

    It took me away from crowded village Up in the mountains Up in the mountains

    And if you haven't hear it before I'll stay in Norway's land till I die Up in the mountains Up in the mountains

    Here in our realm is all our longing Up in the mountains Up in the mountains

    We embrace the vast forests Up in the mountains Up in the mountains

    And is it someone who doesn't see Why we always to mother Norway pray Up in the mountains Up in the mountains

    Yes, rock and stones that's what we eat Up in the mountains Up in the mountains

    We are disgusted by bluemen We go to our lairs Up in the mountains Up in the mountains

    And the fresh stream it is for us If you want it then you have to fight Up in the mountains Up in the mountains Up in the mountains Up in the mountains

    A cruel death awaits for each man Up in the mountains Up in the mountains

    Who doesn't hail our fatherland Up in the mountains Up in the mountains

    Yes we are norwegian and proud if it The christian bastards won't see Up in the mountains Up in the mountains

    Now we have said what we wanted to say Up in the mountains Up in the mountains

    For norwegian brothers who'll give all Up in the mountains Up in the mountains

    A forest-troll heralds a cruel death Where the Fenris-wolf heard the same Up in the mountains Up in the mountains Up in the mountains Up in the mountains

    Hey!

    Can you see him? Can you see him? See that christian bastard! Beat him up! Beat him up!

    And if you ever smell christian blood up in the mountains, then get your axe and chop them down!

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
