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.

lyrics
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...
