Thread Name: Songs from Danko Fjeld Andersen
Subject: Danko Fjeld Andersen
While looking for something else on YT, I stumbled upon clip of one of my all-time favourite albums in its entirety. I thought it might interest some 'catters. It is indeed a classic imo.

Danko Fjeld Andersen

The standout track for me is the lovely 'When morning comes to America'.

WHEN MORNING COMES TO AMERICA
(Jonas Fjeld)

My father would shower for work every day
He'd shave by the old radio
We'd listen in bed to that rhythm every day
Wonderin' how one man could sing down so low

Then my cousin brought money from world's far away
With colours and strange soundin' names
And I'd search like a sailor to find where they lay
Promisin' myself I would go there one day

My grandfather gave me an old radio
It played foreign stations from crystals that glowed
And just like a comet ready to appear
I knew I'd shine much brighter in that new atmosphere

When morning comes to America

A mother awakens somewhere in the west
Her child's content from her breast
The husband soon joins her and walks down the stairs
Finding her a ribbon to pull back her hair

When morning comes to America
