1.	I Needed a Hand, You Gave Me a Sigh 01:28	lyrics	buy track
go out and put a smile on your face drink a beer and dance or meditate gotta do things that make you feel good and move on with your life like you should I needed a hand, you gave me a sigh I'm sorry I said and started to cry you left without saying goodbye and now I don't know I don't know how
2.	We Got Lost 03:31	lyrics	buy track
I thought you were a forest  full of mystery   with hidden tracks and rivers  waiting to be seen  I wanted to go deep  and you let me  find my way and settle down   in the calm breeze  I got lost, in the beauty I got lost, in the dream  I got lost in you but you are not a forest you’re what moves the sea you blossom on the open fields  untamable and free  I tried to hold on  with both hands thought you needed safety  but that was me  you got lost in the beauty you got lost in my love you got lost with me  thank you for the dance it was a lovely dance
3.	Walk and Talk 07:23	lyrics	buy track
meeting my baby out on the street it’s been a week the smell of his hair and the way he moves  familiar but blue mhm  shoulder to shoulder one meter a part  our bodies  out of synch  mhm we walk and we walk try to walk things off talk in metaphors mhm   can you take your sunglasses off? I really wanna see your eyes  can we turn this distance off?  I really wanna say goodbye   surrounded by couples  dressed for restaurants  all eyes are on us mhm we’re walking in circles talking in circles and  staying there  cuz I don’t want to end this I didn’t think we’d end this  way  can you take your sunglasses off?  I really wanna see your eyes can we turn this distance off?  I really wanna say goodbye lemon water cold cold showers melting hugs  all but trust   You don’t want to hurt me  you say you don’t want to hurt me

about

Ending is Siri Birks second EP from the upcoming album ‘Ways of Being’, and is a collection of 3 honest break-up songs.  
'Ending' shows in a raw, venerable and direct way, how break up songs really are love songs, and describes the love that is, and has been, when you stand in the middle of it. 
 
‘I’ve always been a skeptic regarding break-up songs. Somehow it’s too classic, and you run a high risk reproducing clichés. But when I found myself living and feeling a break-up period, it was a way for me to heal, and I found it interesting to describe the honesty and venerability that emerges in us in these moments. There’s something really beautiful there, and I see a lot of love, also when it hurts.’ 

When the society closed down in march 2020, Birk started recording her songs in her bedroom in Copenhagen. After recording, arranging and producing on her own, she decided to send the material to other musicians in a Europe in lock down. From here, the album developed into an online collaboration project, with musicians in London, Paris, Oslo and Copenhagen. 

‘Ways of Being’ is a love declaration to the human condition, and a celebration of lifes journey through highs and lows, fuck ups and flows, pain and love, chaos and slow movements.
