12/3/09 “It’s The Most Fantasy Song On The Entire Recording. It’s Light And It Has Tons Of Movement And Its Ideas Are Incredibly Free. It’s Almost Free Of Emotion It’s Like Mist And Trees And Motion It’s Almost Like A Painting.” ~ Alex WOW ?/09 “The First Version Of It Was Written In Norway. We Were Coming Off A Scandinavian High But The Song Itself Is Not Specifically About Norway. The Title Is Inspired And The Landscape There Is Very Beautiful And Mesmerizing And Those Images Definitely Burn Themselves Into Your Mind.” Victoria MagicRPM 1/10 “‘Norway’ Is A Song We Started Writing In Norway. It's Probably The Pop-Iest Perhaps. A Lot Of The Visuals In The Song Are Inspired By The Landscapes Of The Country But Then I Abstracted Them Of Course. To Me It's A Song Of Fantasy And Longing. There Is An Icy Imaginative Quality To It.” ~ Victoria What’s On The Hi-Fi 1/10 “A Norwegian Radio Station Asked Us To Write A Song On Our Trip Across From Bergen To Oslo And We Did A Melody And Victoria Wrote Some Words. It’s Kinda Just A Fantasy About Norway.” ~ Alex MusicOMH 1/10 “It’s About The Relationship Between The Heart… In Motion Going Through The Land Writing A Song On A Train Is Really Intense. It’s A Very Poppy Song But It Has A Certain Level Of Darkness To It.” ~ Victoria MusicOMH 5/26/10 “Norway Was Really Hard To Record… Record And Mix. That’s A Song Where Everything Is In Such An Exact Place And Is Doing Such A Precise Role And The Minute You Change Any One Thing A Little Bit It Comes Crumbling Down. That Was A Really Hard Song To Record And Get Right.” ~ Alex KindaMuzik 7/2/10 “‘Norway’ Became This Whole Other Version Whole Other Thing After We Completely Tore It Down Because It Didn’t Have The Right Feeling. We Recorded “Norway” First Singing It Acoustically On A Train And Had All This Magical Feelings To It. We Wanted To Make This Into A Full Electric Song And Used The Same Chord Progression. For Some Reason When It Went Electric It Felt Way Too Dark. But After Playing A Lot Of Playing And Working With Different Motives We Finally Realized How To Keep The Song And It’s Energy Alive Even Though It Was Now Electric And Had Another Chord Progression But Keeping The Same Melody.” ~ Alex Aufgemischt
