about

Big thanks to the Customs and Border Protection in Philadelphia International Airport AND to the United States Embassy in Tel Aviv. You guys are the best!

lyrics

I didn’t know what to say
So I got refused from the USA
And I found myself in the land of Norway

Every morning when I wake up
I drink my coffee from a table cup
And then I go and catch the 81A.

Sometimes in life when you don’t expect it
It comes in a shock and you might not like it
You pick yourself up, and loudly say:
I got refused from the USA!

Deep in the snow and my routine at work
I had to decide, am I good friend or not?
My boy back home had his wedding day

In a quick visit, fifty hours time
Man I thought I’m losing my mind
This red wine booze, took out all my juice

Sometimes in life when you don’t expect it
It comes in a shock and you might not like it
You pick yourself up, and loudly say:
I got refused from the USA!
Christmas time and my brother came
We drove to the mountains flashing our game
But before I left, I had to go up north (he’s going up north)

On a peaceful island, fjords around me
A nowhere boy in a nest of joy
I clear my mind and I know it’s such a fine line

Sometimes in life when you don’t expect it
It comes in a shock and you might not like it
You pick yourself up, and loudly say:
I got refused from the USA!

La, la, la

I didn’t know what to say
So I got refused from the USA
And I found myself in the land of Norway

Ori Ronen and the Folk Stoners are an indie folk band from the area near the Israeli Gaza border. On days where there are no military operations, sirens or rockets, the band creates a sound that captures the cool atmosphere and their easy going lifestyle in the Northern Negev Desert in Israel.

Their unique style is influenced by the 60's folk explosion and the rising indie folk scene of today.
