Marit Larsen - If a Song Could Get Me You - Mad Girl's Love Songs and Lyrics

Marit Larsen has the most amazing voice, and a really unique and refreshing musical style. This song is called “If a Song Could Get Me You”. There are several charming videos for it. The first one, below, is her singing at a greengrocer. This girl is seriously talented! She plays the mandolin, the guitar, the piano, and the harmonica. Of course I think most people would agree, her most powerful instrument is her voice.

Marit Larsen – If a Song Could Get Me You

I could try with a waltz
I could try rock’n’roll
I could try with the blues
If a song would do

I could sing it high or low
When I let you go, you know
I thought it was for the best
Now it is so obvious

So here it is, here it goes
I could try it rock’n’roll
A change-your-life-forever-tune
If a song could get me you
I could make it high or low
Sing it on the radio
If that is what I need to do
If a song could get me you

I could run for miles and miles
I’d take off and I’d start flying
I could cross land and sea
If you’d just believe me

I should not have hurt you so
This old house is not a home
Without you here there’s no use
I’ve got no time left to lose

If a song could get me through
I’d sing my way right back to you
Tell me how to make it right
Tell me now, I’ll start tonight
I know I could make it last

I swear to you that if I knew
What I was getting myself into
I wouldn’t answer to my fears
I’d never leave you standing there

Just look at me

If you’d only see me
I would prove my love for you
I could swallow half the moon
Just tell me where, tell me when
I will have you back again

Yeah here it is, here it goes
I could try it rock’n’roll
A change-your-life-forever-tune
If a song could get me you
I could make it high or low
Sing it on the radio
If that is what I need to do
If a song could get me you

She made another version of the video, on a train:

Here is a version played at the Nydalen underground stop in Oslo. She rides escalators while playing the guitar and singing. Talk about multi-tasking!
