Karianne Kvalen, a singer/songwriter from Norway, is now taking her career to a new level with a song that we wrote together with Carroll Kiphen and Lars E. Carlsson: “Giving Love a Try”. Wow! For songwriters like me, this is kind of like a dream come true. She even created an official video clip.

I recorded all the instruments on my own. Well, almost all of them. My son Leon contributed some additional strings that sound really awesome and he mixed everything down. Special thanks to Linda Beringmeier for her contributions on the first demo of this song which was later used as a guideline. I’m very proud of this achievement because it shows just how far my work as a songwriter and producer can go. If you like the song and want to support Karianne you can buy or stream it on almost every platform. Mega-thanks to Karianne for the time and effort she invested in this project and I wish her loads of success with the song and all the best for her new beginnings. If you have any comments, feedback, etc. I'd love to hear them.

GIVING LOVE A TRY

Verse 1

I’m done with living in the past

Done with feeling sad

I've discovered there’s no future in

Walking well-worn paths

Pre-Chorus

Too much of the familiar

Is easy to predict

I need a new adventure

Not the usual fix

Chorus

So here is to new beginnings

To starting a new life

I'm giving in - to living

I'm giving love a try

Verse 2

I'm down with trying something new

Down with having fun

If my journey brings me romance

I hope that you're the one

Pre-Chorus

Chorus

Bridge

You have to climb on the rollercoaster

And take it for a ride

You have to live and love every moment

To get the most from life

Chorus
