Sør-Hidle

Hidle or Sør-Hidle is an island in Strand municipality in Rogaland county, Norway. The 1.4-square-kilometre (0.54 sq mi) island lies at the southeastern edge of a large archipelago of islands located between the Boknafjorden and the mouth of the Høgsfjorden, just to the northeast of city of Stavanger. The village of Tau lies about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) east of the island. The island of Åmøy lies a short distance to the west of Hidle and the island of Heng lies a short distance to the southeast.

The highest point on the island is the 81-metre (266 ft) tall Kråkeberget. The new Ryfast Tunnel is being constructed under the fjord that surrounds the island, and the tunnel itself will run under the southern part of the island. Due to the length of the tunnel, a large ventilation shaft will be constructed from the tunnel up to the island to provide fresh air inside the tunnel.

    I Won't Let You Go

    by: Hedley

    Long steady road, oh travel be kind.
    I'm searching for some peace of mind.
    The home that you know,
    a home left behind.
    Oh trouble don't trouble this time.
    And baby don't look back, odds don't stack,
    they just crumble down, around you.
    You gotta go away if you wanna come back.
    I won't crack, I can't make a sound without you.
    And even if it sounds crazy darling, I won't let you go.
    And even if it don't stop raining darling, I won't let you go.
    And even if the world is burning darling, I won't let you go.
    And even if it sounds crazy darling, I won't let you go.
    Know your way down, your music, your town,
    You're never walking alone.
    A storm that won't wait, a heart that won't break.
    Your mountains ain't made out of stone
    And baby don't look back, odds don't stack,
    they just crumble down, around you.
    You gotta go away if you wanna come back.
    I won't crack, I can't make a sound without you.
    And even if it sounds crazy darling, I won't let you go.
    And even if it don't stop raining darling, I won't let you go.
    And even if the world is burning darling, I won't let you go.
    And even if it sounds crazy darling, I won't let you go.
    So baby don't look back, odds don't stack,
    They just crumble down, around you.
    You gotta go away if you wanna come back.
    I won't crack, I can't make a sound without you.
    And even if it sounds crazy darling, I won't let you go.
    And even if it don't stop raining darling, I won't let you go.
    And even if the world is burning darling, I won't let you go.
    And even if it sounds crazy darling, I won't let you go.
    No I can't no I never will never ever would,
    No I never could let you go,
    No I just can't no I never will never ever would,
    No I never could let you go.
    No I just can't no I never will never ever would,
    No I never could let you go.
    No I just can't no I never will never ever would,
