NEXT TO NOW is an art project (song, music, text and animated film) about the struggle of coming to terms with the shifts and changes happening in a world facing ecological crisis.

Music composed by Marte Røyeng
Lyrics by Marte Røyeng

lyrics

I can’t feel my pulse
I don’t know if I cope
I don’t see any fault
I don’t know if I hope
I am weak in the end
should take blows
not just bend
I should tear down to mend
should move on to send
myself away from
waiting
for the shift to come
it is upon me
where I stand

frozen from a coming storm
counting down not counting on
painting around my eyes with smoke
water turning dark as coal
as I clean the brush between the strokes
and wonder how our tale will be told
it is upon me
where I am
standing by beside the line
standing numb in my own time
will I soon see seasons die
while standing next to now
next to now
