Poems by Hildur Höglind
"Poems” is a collection of three timeless pieces by three adored poets from three different centuries. The work of Dylan Thomas, Queen Elizabeth I and Edgar Allan Poe spoke to me and these three poems became my favorites. By putting music to them, it felt like a timeless connection between the writers and me. The poems, about the death of a father; about not finding a place of belonging in the world; and about ill-fated love, all remain topical today, 65, 200 and 400 years later.
Also included are two of my own songs. “Spiders”, about the monsters in our minds and “The Fault In Our Stars” inspired by John Green’s book with the same name.
I hope you will enjoy the songs as much as I enjoyed making them!
Love,
Hildur Höglind
