Alexandra Rotan herself has no doubt that the ability to dream big has been important to her now living solely on music. Therefore, the chairman of the jury for the Dream Scholarship 2023 hopes that young artists and cultural practitioners will make the trip to the application portal by Tuesday 15 November at 12.00 and give themselves the chance to become one of 50 scholarship winners in 2023.

For someone who for 28 years has had a strained relationship with the football song “Alt for Norge”, first and foremost due to Jørn Lande’s affected and pompous “heavy ballad vocals” full of emotion, it is liberating to hear the new version with Alexandra Rotan, from Keiino, as a vocalist.
Continue readingWhen I was asked to make a new version of “Alt for Norge”, I immediately thought that this was an opportunity I could not say no to. It’s a song we all have a relationship with, and I hope we can create new football memories with the new version. I believe in gold for women this summer, says Rotan.

Vi gir alt
Alt for Norge
Ofrer alt
Om vi må
Vi er
Røde, hvite, blå
Hele kampen ut skal vi stå på
For Norge
Vårt fedreland
Mother of the night
Mother of the night
Bring back the sinful and shameful in me
Cause I’ve been so waiting patiently
I’m on my knees if you want me to be
So we can rise, we can rise, we can rise
Follow me
Into the night
My darling one
I promise you
No more light
Conversation
In swanky bars
Or hotel rooms
Listen up, put that leather on
Mothers back, let’s get it on
Mother of the night
Bring back the sinful and shameful in me
Cause I’ve been so waiting patiently
I’m on my knees if you want me to be
So we can rise, we can rise, we can rise
I’m mother of the night
Mother of the night
You want me to take you
take you, take you out
I’m Mother of the night
Mother of the night
You wanna let go
It’s all right, It’s all right
You’re so sick
Of being good
Of taking baths
And sleeping well
You can’t take
Another day
Want faded nights
That never end
Listen up
Put that leather on
Mothers back
Lets get it on
Mother of the night
Bring back the sinful and shameful in me
Cause I’ve been so waiting patiently
I’m on my knees if you want me to be
So we can rise, we can rise, we can rise
I’m mother of the night
Mother of the night
You want me to take you
take you, take you out
I’m Mother of the night
Mother of the night
You wanna let go
It’s all right, It’s all right
Oh Mother Midnight
I wanna live, wanna dance, take me out
Show me the moonlight
So we can rise, we can rise, we can rise
