   About sjofn

Sjofn
Quantcast

Walking hand-in-hand with his ample wife the preacher's son hears an "angel's voice" in the distance. Pulled toward the eeriness of her song he steps forward and comments, "You sound like shifting ice against a sitar's string of dreams." Strangely mesmerized by this haunting melody, he stops to ask her, "Are you enjoying your voyage on the Titanic?" His wife tugs at his arm as if to say, "Get away from her." As they turn to walk toward a most unfortunate evening his wife whispers just loud enough so that her words are audible to all, "I adore your silence."

Sjofn credits Greg Brown for giving her stuff to write and sing about.

I listened to your pieces....the melodies remind me of daydreams and waterfalls...but the lyrics are of a more serious intimate kind....vocals...an angelic voice, which is pleasant on the ears....Some songs are a little melancholy ...and you sing and play it with such deep emotion.....It was a musical adventure to listen to your work....
Good vibes and respect to you sjofn

Yep, 77 in the year of the "triple nines," [090909]. Guess there will be a 10/10/10 next year. God has blessed and been kind to me for which I give thanks every day. Also that He let me become acquainted with great people like you Sofjn. Thanks for your support.
