Biography:
Northern Light is a long planned project from Norwegian guitarist Tor Talle. A popular route to go in recent times is to gather the best vocalists within the scene and have them all contribute to various tracks on an album and that's exactly what Tor has done here.
I generally prefer albums to feature one vocalist alone, but in this case Tor has chosen wisely and each vocalist seems to compliment the others. That in some part must also be down to the material on offer, which is consistent, well-written and memorable AOR.

(loon yodel)
Intro: G
G C
Minnesota - I can almost smell the air.
Em
I can feel her hand, and my feet in the sand
C D G
in the lakes under trees back home.
Minnesota - You're the gateway to my soul.
You are in my blood, soil's thicker than mud,
in the land where the waters roll.
G D C G D C G
You know I faded away...in Cali - forn - i - a
D
I was thinking, I was gonna duck the snow
G D
But what I'd give to go back now,
G D
and see the snow coming down
G D Em C D
on the pines and the parkways way back ho-e-o-e-ome
Minnesota - How I miss those sail-on days
I miss the stormy nights and the northern light
in the starry skies back home
interlude
I've been a runaway, I've seen my hobo days
I thought I'd shake the hay from my shoes
But how I'd love to smell the sweetness
of the corn and the wheat between us
and see the lakes that glisten in the su-e-u-e-un
Minnesota, well you know I'll make it back
you can count someday I'll be coming your way
with a heart full of hope once more
Minnesota, I almost see the time,
the golden leaves blowing free in the breeze,
a clear blue water's shore
Dit-dit-dit dit-dit I'm coming home
Dit-dit-dit dit-dit I'm coming home
Dit-dit-dit dit-dit
Dit-dit-dit dit-dit Back to my country now yeah
Dit dit dit dit-dit I'm coming home
Dit-dit-dit dit-dit I'm coming home
Dit-dit-dit dit-dit
Dit-dit-dit dit-dit Back to my country now yeah
