Edvard Grieg

Edvard Hagerup Grieg (Norwegian: [ ˈɛdʋɑɖ ˈhɑːɡərʉp ˈɡrɪɡ]; 15 June 1843  4 September 1907) was a Norwegian composer and pianist. He is widely considered one of the leading Romantic era composers, and his music is part of the standard classical repertoire worldwide. His use and development of Norwegian folk music in his own compositions put the music of Norway in the international spectrum, as well as helping to develop a national identity, much as Jean Sibelius and Antonín Dvořák did in Finland and Bohemia, respectively. Grieg is regarded as simultaneously nationalistic and cosmopolitan in his orientation, for although born in Bergen and buried there, he traveled widely throughout Europe, and considered his music to express both the beauty of Norwegian rural life and the culture of Europe as a whole. He is the most celebrated person from the city of Bergen, with numerous statues depicting his image, and many cultural entities named after him: the city's largest building (Grieg Hall), its most advanced music school (Grieg Academy), its professional choir (Edvard Grieg Kor), and even some private companies that include its largest hotel (Quality Hotel Edvard Grieg), and a music technology developer (Grieg Music). The Edvard Grieg Museum in Troldhaugen (Grieg's former home in Bergen) is dedicated to his legacy.

    Sellout

    by: George

    I knew you
    Before you entered through the deadly door
    It's eaten away at you
    It's given you the edge
    You're dreaming of returning
    But you don't think you can
    (You don't think you can)
    They don't sell the product to you
    They sell you to the product
    They don't give a fuck about you
    They just want their deadly dosh
    I wish you could see through this
    I wish you could believe
    That you can really do this
    I know you can
    Cuz i knew you
    Before you entered through the deadly door
    It's eaten away at you
    It's given you the edge
    You're dreaming of returning
    But you don't think you can
    You don't think you can
    They don't want to know about
    Your aspirations
    They don't care about where they are
    Sending you to
    They dont't mind they don't mind
    To blacken your stream
    They are pulling you along
    So when will you see
    That i knew you
    Before you entered through the deadly door
    It's eaten away at you
    It's given you the edge
    You're dreaming of returning
    Cuz i knew you
    Before you entered through the deadly door
    It's eaten away at you
    It's given you the edge
    You're dreaming of returning
    (dreaming of returning
    you are dreaming of returning to that
    to that same world
