DESCRIPTION:
Album : It's About Time
Utgitt : 2005
Sjanger : Country
Låtskriver : Ove Støylen


Ove Støylen, originally from Gjøvdal in Åmli municipality, has been working with country music full-time since 2003.

With two record releases and about 300 concerts on the country scene behind him, he has made a big mark with his songwriting talents and vocal performances worldwide. All released songs by this country artist are written by himself.

You can easily hear that he is heavily influenced by superstars such as Alan Jackson, George Straitt but in recent times other more modern country performers have also inspired Ove who expresses himself on the live scene and certainly also on his planned next album.

From 2004 to 2007, the classic country group The Whitenecks has backed Ove Støylen in several countries.

He has played from Barcelona in the south to Lofoten in the north and from the Faroe Islands in the west to Germany in the east.

Now he often uses 4 musicians from the band Clutterbillies as a backing band, which gives him a more messy and cheeky style that the audience seems to love.
Ove has participated in several TV2 programs and has been featured extensively in the national press and industry magazines as well as the local press.

The collaboration with Arly Karlsen and G.Thomas as The European Highwaymen has also been a great success.

Lyrics:
Tell her
Ove Støylen
G C G
The warmth of her smile and her giving hands
D
Were taking me away, up and over the fence
G C G
I felt like a flying horse was taking me for a ride
D G
This love needs no place to hide
One day she took off, she was just gone
To broaden her horizon, look for more fun
I got a hold of you as her loving man
I wrote you this letter for you to understand
G C G
Tell her, the summer’s short in my homeland
D
I’m just longing to see her just one more time
G C G
Please do tell her, to visit me in springtime
D G
So she could touch my sad name with flowers on.
So many years and days of happiness
From the deepest sorrow to time for a caress
I knew in my mind, she would fly away
Let me be her father for just one more day
My nurse is kind and helps me to do the writing
My family were here, soon they’ll be off fighting
I hope her mom is waiting for me
I want her to be happy this is the best for me #OveStøylen #CountryClassic #RonjasCountryMusic #RonjaGM
