Merry Go Round

we're moving, over heatherfields blossoming
the sun low, about to set
It's slowly going under and rising back up again
never ending ways, in a perfect violet haze
we glide, in cycles side by side
on the carousel we ride
the scenes passing by as we slowly spin clockwise
only to find with every loop, a similar world all new
merry go round, round the tide
guide us along the waves of time
oh never stop to feed our fire, still our hunger, stir our souls
guide us along the waves of time
and so, once again the night fell
a looping carousel
ever returning dusk keeping both of us under its spell
back to late summerhaze, in present perfect tense
merry go round, round the tide
guide us along the waves of time
oh never stop to feed our fire, still our hunger, stir our souls
guide us along the waves of time

Truth or Dare

And so the story goes
the walls you'd seemed to melt like snow
are pulled back up and I withdraw
I've come to know it well
here on the inside of my shell
where the air is different, emptier
as I watch you go
a hazy, fairytale-like glow
pulls up like a blanket, slow
Gold in the air, so rare
Make worthwhile all we bare
Truth or dare, nothing to spare
What do we care.
You take along a piece of me
everytime you leave
leaving me a little less complete
every corner in this town
reminds me of you somehow
though I've lived here ages before we'd ever met
I track the traces that you left
I think of words I left unsaid
the image blurs in my head
Gold in the air, so rare
Make worthwhile all we bare
Truth or dare, nothing to spare
What do we care.

Above the Fray

You set the pace
With your 4am dance in the rain
When you called on the gale to play
The sky was a tangle of golden lace
We were out in the fire
Is that where we'll stay?
Forever chasing the storm
In a garden we never made
Acting on plans that were never laid
Held in a promise we cannot break
CHORUS
High above the fray
I sing your name
And whatever come what may
Remember me this way
Out in that night
we invited the lightning to strike
was it all just a trick of light?
Exposing a glimpse of a storyline
it won't leave my mind
Word to the wise
how to play under trembling skies
in a game where rules don't apply
to win or to lose an illusive line
caught in a promise we can't deny
CHORUS
High above the fray
win or lose I sing your name
Oh whatever come what may
I will remember us this way

about
I'm excited to bring you Chapter One.
This is a collection of 3 dreamy folktronica songs that each carry a sense of weightlessness.
1. Merry Go Round
2. Truth or Dare
3. Above the Fray
Released in the spring of 2020, Chapter One is a collection of 3 songs that came out of a messy & beautiful songmaking-process, where I've been trying to ride on intuition only. Pushing myself not to conform. Ever. Sailing the inner compass every step of the way.

about
Fridolijn Amsterdam, Netherlands
Amsterdam based singer and songwriter Fridolijn aims to find pockets of intimacy and connection in a fast and disconnected
world. Her music comes in soft layers of swirling synthesizers, acoustic folk guitars, ambient electronics and distant drums, wrapping around you like a blanket.
She brings a dreamy style uniquely her own.
