Traces of Time Album

February 04 -2021
The album “Traces Of Time” is out on Nobel Records.

Moon ontherun finally presents the album “Traces of Time”. 
A collection of 13 songs inspired by the great pop-legends in pop-music’s earlier days and also by contemporary pop music. The album is the result of a musical journey that started with composer and pianist Roger Thierry Matte’s passion for harmony-based pop music.

While trying out various singers Ingeborg Riis one day appeared in Roger’s home studio to do a test of the song “For A While”. 
Roger was amazed by Ingeborg’s voice and he knew, this was the voice for his songs.
Initially “just” as a vocalist on the project, Ingeborg got more and more involved in the process, participating with ideas and different advise for the production. Roger states that Ingeborg had an important role and the songs would be far from how they turned out to be without her.

Sun On My Horizon


By MOON ontherun
From the album Traces of Time

Once again you’re the state I’m in
but you don’t know what I’m facing 


how to keep this storm within
if not the one you’ve been chasing? 


All the time the rains have fallen upon a world
that feels forsaken
so dance with me, reminded of all you can be
the sun on my horizon 


Time is long where a love should be
a love I’ve always been saving 


how to give this truth that i keep
without some honesty fading? 


All the time the rains have fallen upon a world
that feels forsaken
So dance with me, reminded of all you can be
the sun on my horizon 


Lonely heart glow in the dark of our eyes
Don’t turn away another day to be mine 


All the time the rains have fallen upon a world that feels forsaken
so dance with me, reminded of all you can be
the sun on my horizon 

For all the times it rained come dancing and be
the sun on my horizon

All Is Now

By MOON ontherun
From the album Traces of Time

To be
To be of circles and lines
around a fire to be discovered 

Or lost
so lost and far out at sea
to lose the fire
to start another 

Lifelines
sunshine
finding a way
into the next
days will collide
and all is now 

To climb
to climb a castle of sand
to fall down
without the riches 

To see
beyond the circles and lines
to tear the wall
to fill the ditches

Lifelines
sunshine
finding a way
into the next
days will collide
and all is now 

Futures
past times
all in one day
nothing to stop
us from colliding
soon somehow 

Lyrics: Shaun Bartlett

Want to tell you

By MOON ontherun
From the album Traces of Time

Want to tell you how I feel
That I’m sorry for the way I let you go
Saw you with a crowd today
Now I’m a stranger and you looked the other way
My sense of self has gone astray 


Now I can’t be near you
Hold you like I wanted to do
And I, I cannot tell you
The way I was planning to do 


There was so much hope in me
Many questions that I did not dare to ask
Then I dream it all away
And now I cannot get the answers anyway
My sense of self has gone astray 


Now I can’t be near you 
Hold you like I wanted to do
And I, I cannot tell you
The way I was planning to do
Always with you
You 


Time has come between us
and the hours go to rest
but I hold on to the memories of you
 

Now I can’t be near you
Hold you like I wanted to do
And I, I cannot tell you
The way I was planning to do 


Always with you,
You
You


Lyrics: Melissa Osland Hermansen and Janne-Camilla Lyster

Mixed Up

By MOON ontherun
From the album Traces of Time

Once upon a moment you saw me
And hopelessly confessed that you love me
So go on then, convince me,
To fall in love with you

Far away a figure is moving
It’s waving, running, kneeling before me
So go on then, convince me,
To fall in love with you

So, could we be Ginger/Astaire?
Tuned to the beat of my heart
Is this a dance we can share in starlight

So, are you the pro to my con?
Testing the weight of our thoughts
Together unAl they are one, in balance

Late one night you seUle beside me
And I decline the drink that you offer
But don’t give up, persuade me,
To spend the night with you

You turn away to talk to another
I’m playing hard to get you to chase me
But don’t give up, persuade me,
To spend the night with you

So, could we be Ginger/Astaire?
Tuned to the beat of my heart
Is this a dance we can share in starlight

So, are you the pro to my con?
TestingAng the weight of our thoughts
Together until they are one, in balance

If you don’t want me, you’re going to suffer
You better not turn me down,
Turn me down, turn me down, turn me down, turn me down

Fantasies of us float softly by
Precious Ames alone
There is no one who can take you away from me
Truth has long since flown

Once upon a moment you saw me
And hopelessly confessed that you love me
So go on then, convince me

Well, could we be tonic with gin?
Fizzing all over the world
Making our minds whirl and spin, for always

Well, am I the Yin to your Yang?
Merging our darkness and light
Sparking another big bang, in theory

If you don’t want me, you’re going to suffer
You better not turn me down, turn me down
If you don’t want me, you’re going to suffer
You better not turn me down,
Turn me down, turn me down, turn me down, turn me down!

Lisa

By MOON ontherun
From the album Traces of Time

You couldn’t feel…
You couldn’t feel…

You couldn’t feel
My presence
Physically
In-existent

Virtual love
Over glaciers
Oceans of space
between us

You couldn’t see
The sunrise
Morning and night
Inversing

Dawning of day
On my horizon
Moonlight
through your window

Coming from the dark kicking into the sun
Not belonging, not belonging to you
Coming from the dark kicking in to the sun
Not belonging, not belonging to you

You couldn’t feel
My heart beat
Electrical pulse
So silent

Luminous touch
In my memory
Lingering scent
forever

You couldn’t see
me falling
Diamonds through
your fingers

Carved over Ame
Like pebbles
Forming my fall
So lonely

Coming from the dark kicking in to the sun
Not belonging, not belonging to you
Coming from the dark kicking in to the sun
Not belonging, not belonging to you

Holding you alone in a withering dream
I was longing for the sound of your breath
Holding you alone in a withering dream
I was longing for the sound of your breath

Shaking of the pain through the fading of night
I am leaving you like nobody’s fool
Looking to the past understanding it now
I was running from the power of time

Holding you alone in a withering dream
I was longing for the sound of your breath
Shaking of the pain through the fading of night
I am leaving you like nobody’s fool

Coming from the dark kicking into the sun…

You couldn’t feel
My presence
Physically
In-existent

An image of you
Nearly fading
Never to be
Our story

You couldn’t feel…
You couldn’t feel…
You couldn’t feel…
You couldn’t feel…

Coming from the dark kicking in to the sun
Not belonging, not belonging to you
Coming from the dark kicking in to the sun
Not belonging, not belonging to you

Holding you alone in a withering dream
I was longing for the sound of your breath
Holding you alone in a withering dream
I was longing for the sound of your breath

Shaking of the pain through the fading of night
I am leaving you like nobody’s fool
Looking to the past understanding it now
I was running from the power of time

Holding you alone in a withering dream
I was longing for the sound of your breath
Shaking of the pain through the fading of night
I am leaving you like nobody’s fool

Coming from the dark kicking into the sun…

What I Came Here For

By MOON ontherun
From the album Traces of Time

Time stands sAll when I see you in the distance
a rainy fog choked day in spring
You brighten up the air around like you used to
Face to face I’m lost for words

We share our numbers and you talk of the old days
I’m sure it’s wriUen in the stars
that we should meet again today aYer so long
and you have things you need to say

I hope that this is what you’re here for
to start our Ame once more again
But this is just what I am here for
to see my yearning com to an end

Searched all over to trying to find what I was missing
Who says that Ame can heal all wounds?
You were the only place I knew I could be me
You made me smile when I felt blue

I thought that this is what you came for?
To start our Ame once more again
But this is just what I came here for
to see my yearning come to an end
But that is not what you came here for
You never thought we’d start again

There were Ames I smeared your name just to shame you
and made out my life was fine
I put down the thing that I couldn’t deal with
that the blame was all on me

I hope that this is what you came for
You think our Ame has come again
Cause this is just what we are here for
Our yearning must come to an end
That was the only thing I came here for;
to see my yearning come to an end

Rainbow Sky

By MOON ontherun
From the album Traces of Time

How can I
describe the beauty of my dreams to you,
when you don’t know the words to make the dreams come true?

How can I
describe the colors of the sky to you,
when you don’t know about the fiYy shades of blue?

The colors are sparkling inside of me
I’m looking into your eyes
The colors are sparkling inside of me
I’m looking into your eyes

How can I
tell you that my heart is lit by flames,
when you cannot see the arch of sunlight through the rain?

How can I
explain the aura of my vivid soul,
when you never take the Ame to look into my eyes?
Into my eyes

The colors are sparkling inside of me
I’m looking into your eyes
The sky is a rainbow, but you don’t see
The colors are sparkling inside

Your eyes sAll keep focused on the segng sun
While I am facing the rain

The colors are sparkling inside of me
I’m looking into your eyes

Lyrics: Suzie Davies and Ingeborg Riis

Traces Of Time

By MOON ontherun
From the album Traces of Time

It’s snowing and it’s cold outside
The sun has gone so far away
Summer’s playing inside my head
Worn out shoes in the shed
Time is softly whispered away
Traces of time
Traces of time

I see you as you’re crossing the field
Turning slowly with a smile
hoping that you will come back soon
Traces of time
Traces of time

Strangely and true
Shattering clouds of ease
Like the laughter
Mellow and free
White nights appear
So slowly
In this winter

It’s snowing and it’s cold outside
The sun has gone so far away
Winter’s singing a silvery song
Traces of time
Traces of time

Strangely and true
Shattering clouds of ease
Like the laughter
Mellow and free
White nights appear
So slowly
In this winter

In this winter
Strangely and true
Shattering clouds of ease
Like the laughter

Dreams I’ve had

By MOON ontherun
From the album Traces of Time

Weightless
A feeling I have felt less
Leave me hanging
Whenever unnoticed


Save me
Enough to forsake me
And do it all over
Until it’s my safety


Dreams I’ve had
Where you blink a moment with my eyes
And feel the love I’ve found


Dreams I’ve had
Where you see me through a moonless haze 
In darkness love surrounds

Patience
Until the day it makes sense
Leave me nowhere
Whenever in silence


Sometimes 
You show me the daylight
So many times stolen
It’s starting to feel right 
It’s starting to feel right 

Dreams I’ve had
Where you blink a moment with my eyes
And feel the love I’ve found


Dreams I’ve had
Where you see me through a moonless haze 
In darkness love surrounds


When all that I imagined
All at once
All around
Wide awake
Is ok

I’ll be all I can be

When all that I imagined
All at once
All around
Wide awake
Is ok
we’ll be all I believed


Dreams I’ve had
Where you blink a moment with my eyes
And feel the love I’ve found


Dreams I’ve had
Where you see me through a moonless haze 
In darkness love surrounds


Dreams I’ve had
Where you listen to the silence
And hear how love can sound


Dreams I’ve had
Where you catch a glimpse of the one I am
And hear how love can sound


Lyrics: Shaun Bartlett and Suzie Davies
