Ever since the beginning of his career, Sondre Lerche has always played up his love of bossa nova.
In the melodic structure for the verses in “Hello Stranger”, he overtly references one of the style’s all-time classics, Tom Jobim’s “Águas de Março” (known as “Waters of March” in English).
“Waters...
Slip out of a dream and into the fog
Your home caught fire, you can’t see for the smog
All I wanted to touch
All I wanted to feel
A code in braille
I can read on your skin
Hello stranger, don’t let me stay too long
Goodbye pleasure, I must be getting on
Slip into my room and stop making sense
High on desire, is there anything else
All I wanted to touch
All I wanted to feel
A code in braille
I can read on your skin
So do you wanna get along
Or do you wanna get on
Or do you wanna get gone
Or do you wanna get it on
Hello stranger, don’t let me stay too long
Goodbye pleasure, I must be getting on
Pleasure seeker where hearts grow weaker
My body’s broken in, your love is spoken for
Pleasure seeker where hearts grow weaker
My body’s broken in, your love is spoken for
Slip into the dark and out of your mind
Be Robin Hood if our scars don’t align
All I wanted to touch
All I wanted to feel
A code in braille
I erased from your skin
So do you wanna get along
Or do you wanna get on
Or do you wanna get gone
Or do you wanna get it on
Hello stranger, don’t let me stay too long
Goodbye pleasure, I must be getting on
And you could be all in
And I’ll be all over you
And still we’d fall from grace
Heaven knows I've tried
What’s it all about, baby?
And I'll guess you'll call me at the time
Atone for the pleasure
One hell of a story
