Hilma Nikolaisen-Merrily Merrily
«Merrily Merrily» er en alternativ julelåt som indieartist Hilma Nikolaisen fra Moi skrev spontant i 2017, som følge av positive livsendringer.
Hilma Nikolaisen har selv beskrevet prossesen til «Merrily Merrily» som dette:
" It came together pretty quickly, in a euphoric state over how life can sometimes take a turn that's exclusively for the better. The song expresses a wish to collect and sustain this euphoria into something lasting, no matter how cumbersome life's path can seem at times. Some moments are for savouring what's good and right, and Christmastime can potentially be just that. The joy in «Merrily Merrily» originated from a move, both geographic and mental, from the claustrophobic trappings of the inner city and out to the woods, to a new place overlooking Oslo from afar. The calm and serene appreciation of the small and intimate life, so to speak. It's been refreshing to write and record this mellow song while simultaneously working on the next record, which is sharper and edgier than the debut, simply put more punk rock. The complementary opposites and temperatures of our existence.»
«Merrily Merrily» ble spilt inn i studioet Taakeheimen, med Morten Øby som tekniker. Besetningen var Hilma Nikolaisen (vokal, gitar, bass, perkusjon) og Kristofer Staxrud (trommer).
"Merrily Merrily (Hermitage Highlights)" ble med på Hilma Nikolaisens 2018-album "Mjusic".
