Känna Igen (Feel Again) is a song about the fear of not feeling again – yet a balladlike hymn to cradle supressed emotions – and allow feelings. At some point in life it’s unavoidable to meet emotional turmoil and sadness. But I think that If we choose to accept, listen inside and feel what we really feel. Maybe say it or sing it out loud. We might, in an unknown point of time, find ourselves in the opposite of what we just felt. Those little or big moments makes a huge difference to us as beings on this earth. At least in the long run is what I believe. - Says Nadja Känna Igen (To Feel Again) is originally written by Nadja Itäsaari - remembering the feeling of what life felt like before her sobriety in 2020. She wrote the song as a blend of Swedish ”Visa” (a song with lyrics in focus) and classical RnB. Axel Olsson got the task in 2023 to write piano for the song, due to his primary love for both visa and old school RnB Music. Axel and Nadja, who also were classmates and has since remained friends since upper secondary school 2002-2005, both share a mutual love for both genres. So when the song was rehearsed enough, they singlehandedly recorded it at Klangverket in 2024. Amongst the instruments on the recording you can hear the Electric reed Organ, Organa 30 that they borrowed while recording at Klangverket Music/Room. The Hohner Organa were distributed in various versions between about 1950 and 1970. The lyrics are edited by Gårdaprofilen to reach maximal emotional depth in 2023. The song is mixed by Nadja and Anneli Rosvall. Rosvall has also carefully mastered the song to bring out depth in both lyrics and backing Instrumentation.

Tänk om jag aldrig får känna igen tänk om jag aldrig, aldrig Får känna nått igen Tänk om livet dom nämnde, bara var skuggor och regn Tänk om jag aldrig, aldrig får känna igen Får känna nått igen Dagen den vandrar, oh så dimmig och vag sen kommer natten, sen nästa dag Jag vaknar i tysthet. inga skratt här ingen vän tystnaden e nog svårast och den bor här i mitt hem mellan väggar och tak alla tömda glas och din vilja så slak Mina tankar som nålar, jag måste ta mig ut. Jag söker och söker ett avsked ett slut. Jag måste ta mig ut.. Tänk om jag aldrig får känna igen tänk om jag aldrig, aldrig får känna igen tänk om livet dom nämnde bara var skuggor och regn. Tänk om jag aldrig, aldrig får känna igen. får känna nått igen ©Nadja Itäsaari Productions 2024

With “Avbitartången '' Nadja Itäsaari wants to talk about High Sensitivity or HSP, with a lighthearted and humorous approach. HSP. Which means that one has the ability to feel others emotions, and that one is sensitive to different sorts of impressions, regarding the different bodily senses. “I remember that I started coping with my own HSP as a kid fleeing into different characters and fantasy universes. When I was 4:years old I got so taken by the movie The Little Mermaid and Ariel that I thought I had fin, so my mom had to carry me to my daycare early in the mornings because I couldn’t walk on land’, says Nadja who has chosen to work with four other mermaids in her music Video. With an almost frantic pace in an underwater world, Nadja tries to describe how everyday life filled with impressions can feel like for a Highly Sensitive Person.

Neverending Solitude - Nadja Itäsaari Maybe everything’s end, could be a new beginning? ”Neverending Solitude” is about the individuals need for solitude to be able to heal from unhealed scars, especially after suffering from Co. Dependency issues caused by abusive - or in other ways harmful relationships. In the motion picture Neverending Story from 1984 written by Wolfgang Petersen, a little boy gets the mission to save the world on his shoulders, like having to compete tasks as: wandering through the swamps of sadness, losing loved ones, face the fear detecting sphinxes lazerbeam eyes - while the world itself is dissipating into a big nothingness. Much like in real life - In the end we don’t reach any answers. But maybe everything’s end, could be a new beginning? Life offers many life and death scenarios, just like the children's movie Neverending Story tells us about, It witholds many metaphors of real life which I have been inspired by during the making of this musical production, video and album cover. that’s why Nadja chose to exhibit bits from the movie as a remediation in the upcoming video as an homage to the original motion picture, witch was one of my favourite movies as a kid. Mystically both Markus Göransson and Johannes Trossö as the producer duo Fillobill Vajberiet in Gothenburg - joining in on electrical guitar melodies, bass and drums - had also been deeply touched by the movie when they were kids, which can be heard in the magic of the drums mimicking the slow - yet determined walk through the swamps, and in the bass/electrical guitars - guiding the drums out of the swamps of sadness. The above mentioned parts is produced by Markus Göransson. The song is mixed by Nadja Itäsaari and Markus Göransson at Vajberiet and Mastered at @Powahstudio by Melisha ❤️💜💚💙🧡💛❤️💜💚💙🧡💛❤️🧡 You can listen to the song here on any of your preferred socilal platform: https://orcd.co/np970kv ❤️🧡💚💙💜💛❤️🧡💚💙💜💛❤️🧡 #neverendingstory #trauma #healing #nadja_itäsaari #nadja_hi_artsandmedia #solitude #newbeginnings #womeninthemix #remediation Lyrics: It´s funny how now all i did in life, It seems. How you put those scars under my skin and in my heart. Perhaps enough for me for now?... at least till times of sorrows mourned... Its funny how I seem all healed that even I forget the feel..of all the shivers that you've caused without a word nor reaching out dismissing me out of your life But still it sometimes bursts in me the nights so long these lonely fears is singing songs bout long lost love to feel enough to leave the scars! The mending powers Of my Solitude is good enough for me It must be so, it must be so. Its funny how mystique it seems romantics hand I´ve always reached and his, naked skin and his unhealed scars with mending powers healing wars at least for moments back in time the light it reached his skin the blindness caused in cracking walls... But who am I forgot bout me Not feeling enough these long run fears I've run these acres of this earth and it thrashed my knees and it burnt self worth The mending powers Of my Solitude, solitude, my solitude! is good enough for... is good enough for me Music, Lyrics, Acoustic/Electric Guitar, Vocals, Production, Co Production, Mixing, Filming&Editing: Nadja Itäsaari @Powahstudio 2022 Electric Guitar melodies, Bass, Co Production & Mixing: Markus Göransson @Vajberiet 2022 Drums: Jojje Music @ Vajberiet 2022 Filmed & Mastered by: Melisha Linnell @Powahstudio 2022 REMEDIATION OF THE MOTION PICTURE The Neverending Story, By: Wolfgang Petersen 1984 By: Nadja Itäsaari Productions 2022

Tramride with Voldemort - a song and video about daring to face ones fears in everyday life. Link to all streaming services: https://orcd.co/tramridewithvoldemort Tramride with Voldemort - about fears of running into one's past - sprung from a voice memo that Nadja recorded on her phone in 2018. Little did she know at the time that the song's meaning for herself would turn out to be a big part of her personal trauma processing. The song is a fragmentary indie and singer songwriter ballad, and moves in a landscape on a tram ride in Gothenburg. - I have also thought about translating the song into Swedish, then the title would be: "tram ride with idiots"(Spårvagnsfärd med Idioter), laughs Nadja and tells. Lyricvideo: https://youtu.be/ShU852D_DAo?si=HmrNwh-wX3Y7F2-j For many years, I have been afraid of running into my past, and I have been afraid of running into people on, for example, trams that I, for various reasons, do not want to deal with. When I decided work further with the song to release it, I realized that fear is very much about myself, and that with fear I can create more fear by feeding my own fear. Therefore, I chose to consciously go in and work on this, because the feeling has been haunting me for many years. I thought "what am I really afraid of, is it myself or the others?"... Nadja Itäsaari as a solo artist has been active and released albums and singles since 2015's debut album "Songs From the Woods of Inner Mind" with names such as: Thea Åslund and swedish Manifest prize winner of Singer Songwriter of the year 2018, Jonathan Hilli. Over the years, Nadja's multi-tasking has lead her to not being able to stick to ”just making music”. Since 2020, she has started with a new concept, and decided to switch to being Multiartist full-time releasing singles in audovisual landscapes, producing mostly everything herself.

This is the Official Video of TURTLESHELL. It´s a catchy Indierock tune, but also a homage to all my EX Relations with Human Turtles, especially lyric wise. We have all written this song equally Me @nadjaitasaariofficial1111 and Markus Göranson and Johannes Trossö. It has taken a while for this song, concept and video to emerge from it's own shell. Not because it took us long to write it, but because of the pandemic and the fact that I am a Night owl living on my own, and Markus an Jojje having families to attend to. So time schedules has really been the main thing making this shy Turtle to emerge. Link to your preferred Streaming Channel: https://orcd.co/releaseoftheturtle We hope you like it, and we would love it if you'd like to comment, add it to your playlists or share it. I personally hope this song is going to encourage all the women out there staying in toxic relationship patterns - to break free and listen to your own needs. This lyric came straight from my heart ❤️🫀🐢 - at the time I didn't listen, therefore this frustration: Lyrics (@nadjaitasaariofficial1111 ): Turtle Shell I wish i told you once I wish i told you twice The things you do my dear they make me paralysed I guess I’ve been here twice Yes quite too many times My words get tangled up They’re squashed down deep inside But I, yes i wish that i could tell you That I, when you get stuck in you turtle shell I feel unseen And I, I guess these feelings are taking over my logic parts Yes I, I am a woman dear just listen to me fill up my needs I’ve been trying once I’ve been trying twice Your ears shut off, your mind is not here not right now I’ve been here more than once More times than i could count Taken for granted feeling buried yet alive I think i told you once I think i told you twice Your shells too thick Your sending inconsistent signs But I, yes i wish that i could tell you That I, when you get stuck in you turtle shell I feel unseen And I, i guess these feelings are too much to handle, yes even for me Yes I, I am a woman dear just listen to me, yes give and receive I’m swimming in this ocean of serendipity You swimming next to me Your silence feels like a threat to me But I, yes i wish that i could tell you That I, when you get stuck in you turtle shell I feel unseen And I, I guess these feelings are too much to handle, yes even for me Yes I, I am a woman dear just listen to me, fill up my needs Nadja Itäsaari: Co.Production, Songwriting, Vocals, Choirs, Video Filming and Editing @nadjaitasaariofficial1111 Instagram Music: https://instagram.com/nadja_itasaari?igshid=MmIzYWVlNDQ5Yg== Instagram Arts and Media: https://instagram.com/nadja_hi_artsandmedia?igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA== Markus Göranson : Mix, Songwriting, Production, Guitars, Bass, Choirs Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/neapolitansounds/ Johannes Trossö: Songwriting, Drums and Mastering Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/johannestrosso/ Recorded at Vajberiet Studio at Rambergs Kyrkan in Gothenburg Sweden: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vajberiet/ Homesite: http://www.vajberiet.se/

Deer in the Headlights is about the feeling of stopping and about ”being” in itself and how the ”being” can lead you to take bigger steps forward than you could have previously ever imagined. About the feeling and the uncertainty, yet about all the internal issues that arise in the resurrection process. Nadja has metaphorically likened the feeling to the deer that freezes for fear, when a car approaches and remains in a millisecond fight between life and death to possibly - at the last second, decide to jump away. To save itself.
