https://www.patreon.com/HarpTwinsA Harp Twins original Holiday song – the 7th track of our new WINTER LIGHTS album (links below)! We wrote both the music and the lyrics of NORDIC SOLSTICE. This original song pays homage to our Scandinavian heritage. We found out recently that some of our Norwegian ancestors lived north of the Arctic Circle in Norway. The Winter Solstice has an important place in life, mythology and history – especially in northern parts of the world when the days are dark and the nights are long. The Scandinavian people of northern Europe celebrated the period of “midwinter”/winter solstice with the holiday, Jul/Yule, from which many modern day Christmas traditions are descended. We wanted the song to celebrate the rebirth of the sun after the longest night of the year. Everything that you hear in the video is just our harps and our voices – exactly like we can perform it live with no overlays or backtracks. It was 5 °F (-15 °C) when we filmed this video, so we guess we’re lucky our fingers didn’t get frostbitten!
We are incredibly excited to share this original song with all of you. Please let us know if you enjoyed “Nordic Solstice” by liking the video, favoriting, leaving a comment, and sharing it with your friends. We look forward to releasing more of our original compositions! Please subscribe and stay tuned!

Solstice has come upon us, longest night, rebirth of light
Sol, sol, hear our song, hear our cries, this blackest night
Fear not for songs of old tell us that shadows will not hold
Break now the infinite snow, infinite darkness, infinite cold
Life now lies dormant and silent, asleep in the eternal darkest hours
Winter lights cast hope upon us, the new sun brings echoes of life still ours
Please listen with headphones or good speakers for best sound!
