    At the beginning of January 2023, Welsh Recording artist Jodie Marie travelled above the Arctic Circle to write new music as part of an artist residency with help from Arts Council Wales International Opportunities Fund.

    After a three-day journey to Seiland Island in Norway, Jodie Marie arrived at her cabin, located at the very end of the island road where only a handful of people live in the fjord during this time of year, to stay in the polar darkness, alone, for over three weeks.
    Living 70° North, with almost 24-hour darkness and limited hours of light to make the most of the outdoors, Jodie Marie experienced a new level of isolation. Surrounded by the beautiful landscape, extreme weather conditions and stories of the indigenous Sámi people, she made the most of her time by writing and recording what has now become the 6 track, Polar Night EP.

    During her stay, Jodie Marie immersed herself in the local community at the only shop on the island, she sheltered from a hurricane, reminisced of her own home and Welsh heritage, and spent time with Sámi reindeer herders, learning of their culture and history. Jodie Marie spent hours on a mountain top amongst 3000 reindeer, watching the sun rise above the horizon for the first time in 3 months, which you will hear at the end of the final track. All of these moments inspired songs on her latest EP, Polar Night, and accompanying documentary, 24 days of Polar Night, filmed and directed by Gøril Nilsen, of the band I See Rivers.

    “It was truly life changing, I can’t put into words how incredible this experience was, so I wrote them into 6 songs. Learning about the indigenous Sámi culture, spending time alone in a cabin in the 24 hour darkness does something to you - it sparks creativity in a way I’ve never experienced before. The inspiration born on Seiland island flows through every word and every sound on this EP and I can’t wait to share the magic with you.”

Polar Night 03:00
I call out to sea This kind of cold is so surreal Biting wind, I’m frozen here At the waters edge I feel free. Ahh... Snow falls around me It doesn’t melt beneath my feet Icy shores and mountain peaks Here there are songs carried on the breeze. Ahh... Polar night Polar night Polar night. It’s alright... It’s dark way out here But I’m not scared, I feel no fear Northern lights dance through the sky I feel comfort bathed in your light. Ahh... Polar night Polar night Polar night. It’s alright... I call out sea This kind of cold is so surreal...

Blue Hour 03:03
Sitting here by candlelight I’m lonely but I feel alright I am known to run away When life gets hard I feel I just can’t stay. But I only ever want you around And I wish that you could see what I see now. In the blue hour The blue hour Where the sun doesn’t rise Only moments of light The perfect shade of blue Surrounded by beauty But all I see is you. Mostly dark throughout the day The silence loud, a heavy weight I cry it out, I reminisce I can’t explain how much I’ve needed this. But I only ever want you around And I wish that you could see what I see now. In the blue hour The blue hour Where the sun doesn’t rise Only moments of light The perfect shade of blue Surrounded by beauty But all I see is you... In the blue hour The blue hour Where the sun doesn’t rise Only moments of light The perfect shade of blue Surrounded by beauty But all I see is you.
4.
Where you go, I’ll go I’m only lost when I’m alone If you’d ask for me to leap I’d dive right in ’til we’re buried deep. I’ll follow you into the eye of the storm Into the eye of the storm. Promise me you’ll stay Hold me in your arms, it’ll be okay One deep breath, count to three Off the precipice, you and me. I’ll follow you into the eye of the storm Into the eye of the storm. I’ll follow you into the eye of the storm Into the eye of the storm. Ooh... Where you go, I’ll go I’m only lost when I’m alone...
5.
Nothing seems to matter without you The sun doesn’t even take away the blue Cause happiness is only real when shared It took distance for me to know how much you care. And the stars that I see up in the sky Are the same ones you’ll see when you look up tonight Miles apart but we share the same view If I think like this it makes me feel closer to you Closer to you Close to you. It’s funny how we all take things for granted We could have it all but we’d still feel shorthanded You are the light that guides me home So what the hell made me think I could do it on my own? And the stars that I see up in the sky Are the same ones you’ll see when you look up tonight Miles apart but we share the same view If I think like this it makes me feel closer to you Closer to you Close to you I’m right beside you. And now I know the reason why There are a billion stars in the sky It’s to make us feel whole And may we never feel alone. And the stars that I see up in the sky Are the same ones you’ll see when you look up tonight Miles apart but we share the same view If I think like this it makes me feel closer to you Closer to you Close to you I’m right beside you. Closer to you Close to you I’m right beside you. Closer to you Close to you... Closer to you Close to you I’m right beside you.
6.
You leave no traces of where you’ve been Haunted by strangers, yet you still let me in. You are the reindeer heart A warmth from deep within With your open arms You trust me enough just to listen Oh, listen Listen... Ancient and sacred, suppression and denial Tears of generations, now let your spirit fly. You are the reindeer heart A warmth from deep within With your open arms You trust me enough just to listen Oh, listen... You leave no trace that the eye can see Only your voices carry on the breeze. You are the reindeer heart A warmth from deep within With your open arms You trust me enough just to listen Oh, listen Listen...
