about
Swirling synthesisers, distant drums and Fridolijn’s haunting voice circle round like a spinning carousel, making Merry Go Round sound like a daydream, slowly spiralling you inwards.
Fridolijn says: " Merry Go Round is a song about hopping off the ever-spinning carousel. About taking a step back, looking for what truly feeds your fire, stirs your soul. It's the first song of many, to come out of a long, messy & beautiful songmaking-process, where I've been trying to ride on intuition only. Pushing myself not to conform, ever. Finding the courage to blindly trust my inner compass every step of the way."
Fridolijn’s music is characterised by a distinguished, captivating style which can be described as dreamy folktronica. With Merry Go Round Fridolijn (pronounce Free-Doe-Line) makes a strong return, after releasing albums with her band Finn Silver, and her 2015 solo debut Catching Currents. The release of Merry Go Round marks a new beginning for the artist, as it is the first of a string of new releases, to be expected later in in the year.

lyrics
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
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

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.
