【歌手介绍】：Maria Solheim，选自挪威女歌手。15岁时，在挪威北部的一个教堂唱歌时被挪威钢琴家Bengt Egil Hanssen发现，17岁就在Bengt Egil Hanssen的引荐下签约挪威厂牌Kirkelig Kulturverksted。Maria Solheim的声音是一听就爱上的那种，跟挪威，瑞典女声以往给人的感觉差不多，都是非常清澈，细致和圆润，听上去十分的舒服，挪威音乐惯有动听的旋律和轻快简单的吉他编曲，相信她一定能用她两种艺术的混合气质打动你。

    这首《Too Many Days》正是Maria Solheim 2004年11月29发行的专辑《Frail》中的一首。

    Too many days I wake up with an aching
    Too many days have been wasted like sand
    Too many hours have gone by without notice
    Too many times I've let go of your hand

    Lay by the sea, bury all of your fear
    Lady lay
    Lay by the sea, you are wild, you are free
    You are daughter of mercy, daughter of strength

    All of the time I'm reminded of failures
    My tongue has bathed in spit from a thief
    (I am) dancing as close as I can to desire
    (I am) repeating my shortcomings loud to myself

    Lay by the sea, bury all of your fear
    Lady lay
    Lay by the sea, you are wild, you are free
    You are daughter of mercy, daughter of strength

    Too many years have been wasted like money
    Too many nights I wake up with a cry
    Too many years have gone by without notice
    Too many times I have wanted to die

    Lay by the sea, bury all of your fear
    Lady lay
    Lay by the sea, you are wild, you are free
    You are daughter of mercy, daughter of strength

    When our daughter was born, we named her Myles, after my beloved late father, despite family warning that the name was too masculine.

    Years later, when i felt she was old enough to understand, I explained to Myles, "Your name is very special. I named you after my own father because I loved him very much. I know he would be proud of you."

    Myles thought carefully about this and  then said, "I know all that, Mom. But I don't understand why my grandfather had a girl's name
