There Is A Light

Nils-Ole Finbak from Bodø, Norway



My name is Nils-Ole Finbak and I come from Norway. I live in a town called Bodø above the Arctic Circle! I've been singing and playing for years (mostly at home) and also writing lots of music! It's only the last couple of years that I've been recording my music (in our family's little "homestudio")! A lot of these recordings have found their way to the Web. My music page on Soundclick.com has a lot of my music as free streams/downloads (www.soundclick.com/nilsolefinbak). I play all the instruments myself and am not sure what I like best, guitar or piano!! Anyway, I love music and A LOT of Chris deBurgh's songs are among my favourites.

How my song "There is a light" is inspired by CdeB: I sat down and recorded a backing track and starting singing a song on top of it. It suddenly dawned on me that it sounded CdeB-ish, which is no wonder as I have listened to his music A LOT through the years. I remembered that this CD was going to be made and decided to make the rest of the song in a CdeB-way and send it to you!

Regards,
Nils-Ole Finbak!

Lyrics:

There is a light in the darkest night
I can see it just outside the window
Last night I felt like a man on the run
But then it was there beneath the willow

Every day the search has been on
But I never found what I wanted
But suddenly in the midst of a dream
I found peace and was no longer haunted

There is a light
There is a light
In the night you can see it shine
There is a light
There is a light
And you should know that dream is mine
That dream is mine

I found a light in the darkest night
I found a light in the darkest night

There is a light in the darkest night
I found it just outside my window
Tonight I saw it
There is a light and I know it shines so bright
For you and me, for everyone beneath the willow

There is a light
There is a light
In the night you can see it shine
There is a light
There is a light
And you should know that dream is mine
That dream is mine
