Ida Maria (full name Ida Maria Børli Sivertsen, b. July 13th 1984) is an indie rock/punk artist from Nesna, Norway, currently living in Sweden. Her first album, Fortress Round My Heart, was released in Norway and the UK on May 5th, 2008.  Ida Maria won Zoom Urørt in 2006 and the Urørt-competition in 2007 (both are Norwegian competitions for unsigned artists) and played some of Norway`s biggest festivals. In 2007 she also won Alarmprisen (Norwegian music awards).  Her band consists of: Ida Maria: guitar, vocals, bass 

Ida Maria est née le 13 juillet 1984. Bien qu'elle soit originaire de Nesna en Norvège, elle réside actuellement à Stockholm, Suède. Elle devint populaire dans son pays natal après avoir gagné deux concours nationaux pour les artistes amateurs. Elle se fit connaître dans le reste de l'Europe notamment en jouant au festival de Glastonbury.   Son premier single, &quot;Oh my God!&quot;, se trouve sur son premier album &quot;Fortress around my heart&quot; sorti le 28 juillet 2008.  

Ida Maria aus dem Norden Norwegens ist trotz ihrer 24 Jahre stark von den 70ern geprägt. Wenn auch eher unfreiwillig. Sie wurde von der Plattensammlung des Dorf-Doktors beeinflusst. Er hatte alle alten Rockklassiker: Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix und Led Zeppelin. Ihr elektrisierender Power-Pop ist ebenso direkt wie ihre Texte. Vielleicht liegt es an Ida Marias spezieller Songschreiber-Fähigkeit. Sie ist Synästhetikerin. Musik kann sie nicht nur hören, sondern auch sehen. Mit 16 ging sie von Zuhause fort, inzwischen lebt Ida Maria in Schweden.

Ida Maria es natural de Nesna, un pequeño pueblo del norte de Noruega. Tras pasar por las ciudades de Bergen y Uppsala, ahora vive cerca de Estocolmo, desde donde dirige su propia compañía discográfica, Nesna Records. Temas como Queen Of The World, Louie o sobre todo su primer single, una canción sensacional llamada Oh My God, hacen esperar con verdadera impaciencia su primer álbum.

CHORUS:

A                                 C#m            B
This heart attack I’ve gotta get away not coming back
A                                 C#m                     B
I want some downtime so call me when you can and I’ll be fine


VERSE 2: [same chords as VERSE1]
I’ve found the time to be alone I don’t know what you’re asking
I’m waiting by the telephone and you’re still barking
My heart stops it isn’t… going could you revive me
I think I’m lost without knowing so come and find me


PRE-CHORUS 2:  [same chords as PRE-CHORUS1]
‘Cause in the same space we’re disconnected and in your own mind you’re not attracted
But in your own life over reacted and in your own time


{CHORUS x2}


Sometimes if we don’t go sometimes you don’t know
You don’t go I don’t go I don’t go you don’t go

C#5  B5  A5                      C#5  A5  B5
            I’ve got your back              but you don’t got mine
C#5  E5  A5                    C#5  A5  B5
            This heart attack              then I’m feeling fine

C#m          E       B    A 
I’m going away to be alone

I'm going away to be alone ...............

This Heart Attack

Your asking what I found 
                         A
think I'm gonna rob you blind

        E
that I drew while I was bored waiting tables in new york
Fm                                            D
 a  heart and two flowers intertwined with a vine

Why Cry

[Verse 1]
 G                              D
You like New York City in the daytime
 Bm                   A
I like New York City in the nighttime
 G                          D
You say you like sleeping with the air off
Bm                  A
I don't, I need it on
G                  D
You like the light coming through the windows
 Bm                      A
I sleep late, so I just keep 'em all closed
G                  D
You ignore the music on the radio
Bm                 A
I don't, I sing-a-long


[Pre-Chorus]

N.C.                     D
Tell me how we're not alike
       Bm               A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
Funny how the stars crossed right
       Bm                   A
'Cause we work so well and we don't even know why
 G              D
You can call it fire and ice
    Bm                  A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
We don't even know why, no no

Cold outside and you're just in a T-shirt
Bm                   A
I have cold blood even in a sweater
G                         D
You start your night sippin' by the Kilo
Bm                   A
I don't, I know you know


[Pre-Chorus]
G               D        Bm             A

[Bridge]
G                          D
Somehow we end up on the same side
Bm                          A
And you wouldn't think that we'd be alright
G                      D            Bm             A
Even our eyes are different colors, but we see fine

Somehow we end up on the same side (up on the same side)
Bm                            A
And you wouldn't think that we'd be alright

    D                              Bm7
We never spoke a word, but every thought she had 
                         G     A Asus A
I heard from across the room 
             D                               Bm7
If we were standin' face to face I couldn't find the words 
               G               A Asus A
To say give me one more move 
        G              A             G                   A
I don't even know her name, I guess foolish pride's to blame

And my heart won't tell my mind to tell my mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day

Son, I missed my chance 
           D                            Bm7
Don't you let regret take place of the dreams you have to chase

Ask her to dance, go on, son
           G                 A              G                  A
You might fall down on your face, roll the dice and have some faith

When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say

May have lost this battle, live to fight another day

Situations

Am                              E
There are children standing here,
                              G
Arms outstretched into the sky,
                          D
Tears drying on their face.
              Am
He has been here.
                          E
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
                           G
Fathers lost without a trace.
                           D
A nation blind to their disgrace,
                        Am
Since he's been here.
                    E
And I see no bravery,
 G                  D
No bravery in your eyes anymore.

Only sadness.

(Continue the same chord progression)

Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families' turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel to accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Says, he has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
