Imagine 04:00
I can imagine to seek through a crowd to find your eyes, your hand, your movements I can imagine to feel your look at me to find my eyes, the way my lips move It comes alive, it comes alive it comes alive, it comes alive It comes alive, it comes alive I can imagine to kiss a bird to send it far away from here I can imagine the bird to return his kiss would make my skin burn It comes alive, it comes alive it comes alive, it comes alive It comes alive, it comes alive I can imagine me whisper in your ear a sad song would bring out a tear I can imagine the jokes you're telling me My laugh, your smile would make us believe It comes alive, it comes alive it comes alive, it comes alive It comes alive, it comes alive A bird will redeem A bird makes us dream It comes alive, it comes alive it comes alive, it comes alive It comes alive, it comes alive

Freeze 02:59
Winter please come and freeze my heart winter please come and freeze my heart winter please come and freeze my heart freeze it numb and resistant to you Ye stole my heart and went away Ye stole my heart don't know Ye anyway don't know Ye anymore Summer don't you go melt my heart summer don't you go melt my heart summer don't you go melt my heart made my heart so cold, made it a stone Ye stole my heart and went away Ye stole my heart don't know Ye anyway don't know Ye anymore

Rolling on rolling on Rolling on rolling stone Let's come back here to fight this Let's come back here to see if this battle can be won I went to see, how he was doing after I hit him hard I went to see if he was prayin' to save his wife and child He was only prayin' for his own life and right there before me He revealed his true self Rolling on rolling on Rolling on rolling stone Let's come back here to fight this Let's come back here to see if this battle can be won I went to see, how she was doing to see if there's some kind of regret I went to see, the color in her eyes and right there before me She revealed her true self Rolling on rolling on Rolling on rolling stone Let's come back here to fight this Let's come back here to see if this battle can be won I went to see, if I could show them to see if they would understand I went to see, if he was ready and right there before His soul resounded in mine Rolling on rolling on Rolling on rolling stone Let's come back here to fight this Let's come back here to see if this battle can be won Let's come back here to see if this battle can be won

Oh, I am stuck in a mud stuck in a field There's no field of gold Only the old field of mud There's no field of gold Nowhere to be found Oh, I am stuck in the dirt stuck in a mine There's no silver mine Only the old coal mine There's no silver mine Nowhere to be found Oh, I've got sand in my eyes I've got sand in my lounges There's no waterhole Nothing but the old desert There's no waterhole Nowhere to be found Oh, I've got chains on my feet chains on my hands There's no liberty nothing but the old jail I know There's no liberty Nowhere to be found Not for a hundred years No where to be found I can sure do pretend but where does it leave me hanging

Darlin' don't you go don't you walk away from me don't put on your shoes That's givin' me the blues Darlin' don't you stay you just fly away from here I'll be perfectly okay I miss my freedom anyway There's a wolf in my garden he's a starving soul He darkens my mind I'll go crazy to find Reasons for loving and reasons for leaving Reasons for running or lying down to play dead Darlin' please come back I am driftin' way ahead without your hand to hold My home feels dark and cold Darlin' I can't bear The love I feel is oh so rare and still it's hard to know and still it's hard to show you.... There's a wolf in my garden he's a starving soul He darkens my mind I'll go crazy to find Reasons for loving and reasons for leaving Reasons for running or lying down to play dead

Invitation 02:56
You can be seen from my house You can be seen after dark This is an invitation This is an invitation Let me take you down by the river Where the moon makes us shiver You can be heard in the night You can be heard in broad day light This is an invitation This is an invitation Let me take you down by the river Where the moon makes us shiver

I am wild at heart for you wild horse wild dog I have a soul who no longer belong no place no where Tangle my heart Tangle my heart you tangle my heart I've lost my mind over you wild horse wild dog I have a soul who tremble with fear no rest no peace Tangle my heart Tangle my heart you tangle my heart I have an eye who no longer can see I've seen True beauty I have an ear who no longer can hear wild horse wild dog Tangle my heart Tangle my heart you tangle my heart

You don't want to listen And I just talk and talk There is nothing funny, there's nothing funny about this at all, at all, at all, at all I raise my right arm to give you a high five You raise your hands to protect yourself in protection, for protection, to protect yourself, in protection You grumble and you stare at a point above my head I guess you're fed up of it All, of everything, of it All, something and anything All and Everything So why are we here holding on why are we here keepin' up why are we here Holding on Aaaaaaaahhh

Her Eyes 04:51
Her eyes were grey Her eyes were golden Outside the church outside the church her body was glowing in sorrow her mind and heart and soul had flown Halfway into the afterlife Walking around, cold and numb we could feel it, oh the electric waves Radiation out from grief one leg standing in the grave Her eyes were grey Her eyes were golden A wicked priest a wicked priest and a crowd divided in sorrow Father and son dancing on the grave Makes one loose faith in humanity We are predators predators Feeding from a poor man's death Galactical animals gorging ourselves from the grave Her eyes were grey Her eyes were golden In the middle of the night I can hear her calling I can see her falling to the ground In the middle of the day I can hear her laughter I can see her smiling I can also smell her tears Her eyes were grey Her eyes were golden
10.
Lonely Heart 02:54
You're an oak tree standing alone an oak that stands on it's own No matter what may come you're standing alone Holding on No matter what may come you're a lonely no matter what may come you're a lonely no matter what may come you're a lonely heart You're a lonely heart Your roots go deep underground deep into Darkness you're bound No matter what may come you're standing alone Holding on No matter what may come you're a lonely no matter what may come you're a lonely no matter what may come you're a lonely heart You're a lonely heart

about

”Wild Dog” is Susanna´s eight album, including three with Susanna and the Magical Orchestra, her ”Norwegian” album ”Jeg Vil Hjem Til Menneskene” and the recent ECM album with Giovanna Pessi. That is effectively one album a year of quality releases since her debut in 2004, indeed a very rare treat these days. Possibly best known for her unique and striking interpretations of iconic songs like ”Jolene”, ”Hallelujah” and ”Love Will Tear Us Apart”, she has also proved herself as an original songwriter with a strong signature. Bonnie ”Prince” Billy has performed and recorded her songs and Mojo named her song ”Believer” as ”one of the greatest break-up songs ever”. The ten originals on ”Wild Dog” are darker, wilder and more intensely seductive than ever. Susanna has assembled some prominent guests on the album with Emmett Kelly from Bonnie ”Prince” Billy´s band and Jeremy Gara from Arcade Fire appearing on all ten tracks while Shahzad Ismaily is credited on seven tracks and Jo Berger Myhre on two. Co-producer Helge Sten (Deathprod) is typically credited with ”space and beyond” on one track while The Sheriffs of Nothingness (Ole Henrik Moe and Kari Rønnekleiv) do their thing on another track.



SusannaSonata released the first physical item, “Wild Dog” as vinyl. Release date 20th of April in Norway.

The vinyl is cut by Paul Gold at Salt Mastering in Brooklyn, the cover is made by Kim Hiorthøy and it is printed at Pallas in Germany. This is a quality product sounding wonderful.
