About We Will Meet Again
In the spring of 2021, my friend and music partner, Sindri Bergmann Thorarinsson, approached me with an exciting proposition: to collaborate on a pop song. While we had dabbled in pop music in the past, this was the first time we dedicated ourselves to crafting and producing a contemporary pop track. We set ourselves a tight deadline of just a couple of days (both to train our production speed, and as I would return to Stockholm shortly after). Together we crafted both the music and lyrics (inspired by the reality that due to Covid restrictions it had been awhile since we'd met). I contributed my vocals to the lyrics, while Sindri expertly mixed and polished the song.
Lyrics:
Verse 1:
Woke up this morning late, it was half past 8, still stuck in the rhythm.
You feel so far away, life's so dull and grey, when we're not together.
Pre-Chorus:
But I know, there's a place, you and I will meet again.
And I know, that in time, you and I will meet again.
Chorus:
Though it feels far away, do the walk day by day, you and I will meet again.
Though you are far away, we can talk every day, you and I will meet again.
Verse 2:
I tried to dance alone, to our favorite song, in front of the mirror.
I miss your beat so much, and your caring touch, us two in the rhythm.
-> Pre-Chorus -> Chorus
Bridge:
And we'll dance, you and I, to the off beat and the rhythm.
And we'll joke, and we'll laugh, what a great time we'll have, when I'll meet you in heaven.
-> Chorus
About Egill Antonsson
I began my musical journey at around age 8 with the piano. In my early teens, I was drawn to the guitar, inspired by icons like Slash. Alongside my two friends, all of us guitarists, we formed a band and I embraced the electric bass, recognizing its significance (alongside the drums) in modern music genres. Growing up in choirs my mother Halla Soffía Jónasdóttir sung in, I started myself singing more and more.
In my late teens, my passion for the piano resurfaced, leading me to focus on jazz piano, and a bit of bass, at FÍH music school. There, I had the privilege of learning from exceptional mentors, including Agnar Már Magnússon, Eyþór Gunnarsson, Jóhann Ásmundsson, and Sigurður Flosason.
Around the turn of this century, I was in the band KUAI which shone brightly before fading out. Throughout my journey, I collaborated with many talented musicians, yet my most enduring partnership remains with Sindri. Currently we produce music as Kanez Kane.
