Music is My Soul
These lyrics have a lot of personal meaning. They are written for my best friend Astrid after she passed away of lung cancer.

Did you know i thought of you today
The memories are on replay
the times we had seem far away
Has it been years or a few days
You know I remember near the end
When you thought you could pretend
but i could hear it in your voice
you giving up on life by choice
Your voice is all around me
your laughter fills the air
the burden of the past
is hard to bear
[chorus]
Im trying to stay strong
trying to hold on
but i feel so lost without you
helping me along
im crying because you’re gone
but i know that you’re still with me
by my side
so i keep going
even though im missing
my best friend
The pain was bursting through the seams
you were so tired that you let go of all your dreams
But i reached out to catch them as you lay
i couldn’t sit there and just watch them fade away
i can still hear your final words
i can stiill hear your final breath
You said “Eg skil ekki” said “i dont understand”
And i replied “Good night my friend”
Your voice is all around me
your laughter fills the air
the burden of the past
is hard to bear
Im trying to stay strong
trying to hold on
but i feel so lost without you
helping me along
im crying because you’re gone
but i know that you’re still with me
by my side
so i keep going
even though im missing
my best friend
