Mette Kirkegaard

My acoustic Samick is in use! Its the one I use at my second album Trådløse Drømme (2009). Its made by Yairi – he worked for Samick after his company went bankrupt, and in these years he produced this decent model no “S7 by S. Yairi”. The sound is round and good for fingerpicking. The back is rounded. Im working on a new song on it now! Welcome home!

Se og lyt til to videoer om Mettes sang Samler, skrevet på Fanø. Listen to two videos with Mette´s Danish song “Samler” inspired by the Western sea “Vadehavet”, and Fanoe island. English explanation below videos.

SAMLER-translation English – please note that this is just a translation draft!

The song is about a woman who is gathering waves and also gathers small pieces of amber. “I met a local woman and she was not interested in what she considered as touristamber, “says Mette, “instead she was talking about huge pieces of amber that only locals know how to find. At the same time the tide changes the sea in the area – and I got the inspiration for a woman standing and waiting to find the big pieces, as a metaphor of love, while the tide is changing – like into a hurricane.
