Mobility to MatarĂ³, Catalonia

  • Our trip to Matarö Spain.

    We started from Aalborg on sunday the 13th of June and when we arrived at Barcelona Airport we were colledted by our hostfamilies.

    The first day at school we were going to make a "EUROVISION SONG CONTEST.

    We also got a tour around Maristes Valldemia School and had lunch in the cafeteria. Later we made booktalks both online and for real - outside,because it was so hot.

    On tuesday we went to Barcelona by bus and train to see the Nature- science museum.

    On wednesday we went to a sportcenter, where we had yoga and sport games.

    The visit to Mataró ended with a dinner with all the host children and the Danish students.

    It was sad to say goodbye to our new friends ;-(

    CLOSER THAN WE THINK. The Danish tribute to the "Eurovison Song Contest.

     

    The song was created by many artists around Denmark during the corona crisis. They sing about how its hard for everyone to not be able to see family, friends and such. But it also indicates that we actually are much closer than we think.

     

    Intro:

    My old friend

    Don’t you feel a little lonely too?

    I promise you

    It’ll all be good again

    I know I can’t see you right  now

    But I can hear your choir

    Even though we are apart

    We are closer than you think

    Verse 1:

    I can hear you from even this distance

    And i can feel every single word

    And when we stand together each and each and need eachother

    Can we do much more than we think

    Because even though this distance is hard to deal with

    I hold myself on, that it’ll be like before

    If you have the courage, we’ll fix it

    And we are best when we are two, take my word for it

    Because i miss you, my comrade

    Chorus:

    My old friend

    Don’t you feel a little lonely too?

    I promise you

    It’ll all be good again

    I know I can’t see you right  now

    But I can hear your choir

    Even though we are apart

    We are closer than you think 

    Verse 2:

    It wears on the soul to be alone

    for too long at a time

    No, i'm not trying to make a scene

    It's just how i feel

    For all my dreams, for all my longings

    They’re captured in reality’s prisons

    And i dream most about you

    Long days, short nights

    But you know i'm right here with you

    Because we are separated together, it’ll work out

    If you are down, you’ll get up again

    If we fear the worst, we’ll forget the best

    And when time stands still, then remember to love

    I know that, you know, that we 

    That we are much much closer 

    Chorus:

    My old friend

    Don’t you feel a little lonely too?

    I promise you

    It’ll all be good again

    I know I can’t see you right  now

    But I can hear your choir

    Even though we are apart

    We are closer than you think

    Bridge:

    I miss hugging you and kissing your tears away

    We forget that what used to come easy, go easy

    We enjoy the freedom with each other we lit up and partied

    Now we turn on a light in the window for those we lost 

    Miss my family out on vestegnen

    Now i only see my mama on facetime

    I remember your smile and your warmth from when I last saw you

    Maybe i forgot to appreciate you

    Walks through a ghost town lonely in the city

    but know there's still a sun behind the dark cloud

    When this chaos one day is behind us

    Then you know where i live 

    Feels distant, but we’re  closer , than you think

     

    Chorus:

    My old friend

    Don’t you feel a little lonely too?

    I promise you

    It’ll all be good again

    I know I can’t see you right  now

    But I can hear your choir

    Even though we are apart

    We are closer than you think

    Outro:

    Even though we are apart

    We are closer than you think
