Last weekend I met DJ Michael from Radio Stelle FM Hamburg. He filmed and interviewed me, and heres the music “Kun det gode” – the song is on my upcoming album “Simple Matters” – release Gateway Music Oct. 13 2018.

“Am letzten Wochenende fand das Tönder Festival in Dänemark statt.Stelle-FM Moderator Michael Hohnschild war für uns vor Ort und hier sein Bericht.
Es war ein gut organisiertes , relaxtes Festival mit viel Qualität an Musik aus aller Welt! An 4 Tagen spielten Musiker aus dem Bereich Singer/Songwriter, Country/Rock, Blues, Irish/Celtic ,Americana und Folk. So eine Vielfalt an Musik erlebt man selten auf einmal!”

Natural breathwork: My day begins with voice training

Posted: 7. August 2018 | Author: Author | Filed under: Dansk musik | Leave a comment

Today I am back after writing my master thesis at the University in the field Rhetoric (speech) titled “Good Practice in Public Debate”. img_8121-2

I am hereafter back to rehearsing my daily voice rehearsals. I was trained by Ian Adam and his assistant Bente Zaber, many years ago. Ian had many great clients he worked with Sarah Brightman, Elaine Paige, Michael Bolton.

The system favorises the natural voice expression and breath work.

He once had a programme on BBC: “I would like to teach the world to sing”.

Training your voice seems to lift the energy in our mental health. I always feel lighter when I have performed. It is also a bit comic to stretch your muscles….:-)

New song “HEAVEN” – NEW SINGLE RELEASE
►►► I have some good and some bad news: instead of today, my new single “Love is to Blame” will be released tommorow 🙂 The song has already been presented on the music video of the same name. The good news is that the single also contains a new song “HEAVEN” – listen very soon on spotify, iTunes – worldwide. HEAVEN is a catchy and happy song about the power of love and sensuality. Lyrics are below the Danish text.
Danish:
►►►Jeg har en god og en dårlig nyhed: den allerede kendte sang fra musikvideoen “Love is to Blame” udkommer én dag senere, i morgen. Den GODE nyhed er, at sangen “HEAVEN” også udkommer i morgen. Tag godt imod dette glade nummer indspillet i Texas, som altså også udkommer på spotify, itunes m.fl. digitale tjenester over hele verden. Lyt på dette glade og sensuelle nummer i morgen.

HEAVEN er det nye nummer på denne single Love is To Blame fra Gateway Music distribution & Trubadur Label.
Musikvideoen LOVE IS TO BLAME har ALLEREDE været på Chartbases top 100-DK-Denmark-liste og nåede en 12te plads i kapløb med Medina, Aura, Volbeat m.fl.

Nu udkommer Nordic Americana-musikken på en single af samme navn “Love is to Blame” – med to sange, Heaven og Love is to Blame, som Mette Kirkegaard har været i Austin i Texas for at indspille hos en ung producer, Patrick Herzfeld.
HEAVEN ER EN CATCHY sang, der hylder kærligheden som en skabende kraft og en lystfuld mulighed:
“I WANNA FEEL FREE AGAIN, FEEL YOU IN ME AGAIN, I WANNA FEEL HEAVEN”

Heaven

by Mette Kirkegaard, Thanks to Kostas

Warm in the candlelight
the stars up in the sky
and I can feel the glow
bringing me close to heaven
and if you need my love
come here to me and stir it up
We’ll climb the stairs, my love
untill we reach the fire

and we can flie high again
take to the sky again
I wanna feel my heart beat again
I wanna touch heaven
I wanna feel free again
feel you in me again
burn in the heat again
I wanna feel heaven

The rythm of the night
The shadows and the light
the waves come, eb and flow
I cant let you go – I wanna touch heaven

and we can flie high again
Take to the sky again
I wanna feel my heart beat again
I wanna touch heaven
I wanna feel free again
feel you in me again
Burn in the heat again
I wanna feel heaven

So let us sip our wine
and we’ll forget about time
Untill the light of dawn
Love goes on and on
chorus repeat

”Taknemmelig for livet” – en eftermiddag med

Mette H. Kirkegaard, forfatter, poet og sangerinde, stud. mag. retoriker

Musikhuset Aarhus, april 2017

Mette Kirkegaard har optrådt på hospices og er åben for at optræde ved et eftermiddags arrangement i jeres kirke – solo, duo eller trio.

“Jeg er optaget af liv og død, af glæden, der findes i det nærværende nu. Lige siden jeg begyndte at skrive sange, har det optaget mig, hvordan musikken på særlig vis vækker glæden, uanset hvor i livet man befinder sig”, siger Mette, som spiller mest guitar og synger egne sange, men også synger og akkompagnerer sig på klaver.

“Efter koncerten er Mette åben for en samtale med publikummer. Her kan vi fx tage en debat om nogle relaterede emner:

Hvad betyder livsglæden.
Hvad betyder sang for vores opfattelse af livet og døden?
Hvad er det for et nærværende nu, vi kan opleve på grænsen mellem liv og død?
