"The Bell Tune". All photos and both painting motifs are from the mountain region Rondane in Norway. One of the photographs is taken from the same vantage point as the last painting, the famous "Vinternatt i Rondane" by Harald Sohlberg -- the spot is named Sohlbergplassen after him. The painting in the thumbnail, by Kjetil Skaansar, shows the same mountains and the lake Atnasjøen in the foreground.
From an album titled "Bjølleslåtten" after this tune, mostly consisting of tunes written down after the playing of Ola Mosafinn (1828-1912). The album also features Leif Rygg (hardanger fiddle), but he is not credited on this track. Recorded in 1993 and released in 1994.

When I first heard Autobahn as a teenager, the recognition hit me like a tonne of bricks -- though it took me a while before I remembered where I had heard this melody before, it being buried deep in childhood memories. I have decided that this revelation must finally be shared with the world.

The title translates as "Here I Was Born". It is an ode to the place where the singer is from; the mountains, heath, marshland etc., and the peace that the landscape brings to the soul. When "other homes" call her spirit away, she will rest in homely soil.
Sung and with lyrics by Brita Bratland (1910-1975) from Vinje in Telemark, over a traditional melody.
