Listen To This: Don't Be Afraid!
Filed under: Listen To This
Really great songs don't need a lot of explanation.
Scared of Heights is pretty. So pretty. Wistful! The kind of song you play on repeat over and over again.
If you like Jason Mraz or Jack Johnson, then you will love this song.
It's not sung by some surfer from Hawaii, it's actually by a singer from Norway named Espen Lind.
Norway has some great musicians!
Trust Perez. You will love this song.
Enjoy it below and then CLICK HERE to check out some other tunes from Espen Lind!

FIRST
That song is so fucking lame….. Perez the next Clive Davis…… I think NOT
Primera!
Trust Perez when it comes to music???!!! you are so cute, so funny.
GO ESPEN!!!
i feel like this would be background music during an episode of little house on the prairie as they are running and skipping through a field of daisy's.
Espen is great. You have written many posts about Norwegian singers lately, Perez! Way to go! Love from Norway

Yawn………I feel like I'm at the circus.
This song is great…
it make me smile =P
saludos perecito!
for once you are right. good stuff
he has a sweet voice
he had a great hit in Europe years ago (i think it was in the late 90ies??) with "when susannah cries". Its on youtube. very nice
Yet again you comment on a norwegian artist! I like. I Haven't really taken an interest in Espen Lind before, but I like this song. Norway rocks! A nice summer song in the heat!
quite catchy perez! xo
hipi
looove it!
first
it's just okay perez… nothing to write home about though
This song is terrible!!
You have the worst taste in music HANDS DOWN!
You choices are garbage!
But then again, what else would we expect from someone that makes a living drawing cum on stolen pictures from other websites.
you nailed it with this one perez! brought a smile to my face!
scandinavian musicians are the best:
Sweden
Denmark
Norway
^and he's hot
Perez, I love that you show us Scandinavian songs, i studied in oslo and I love espen linds song "Million Miles Away" and i saw him just walking down the street once, keep showing us Scandinavian artists they are awesome!
damn, it's not on itunes.
i hate it
lmao at you thinking this is good but not liking coldplay or colpday your dumbass
He looks a lot like Damien Fahey from MTV's TRL…
I'm one to recognize and appreciate amazing music. Good beats, catchy tracks, wonderful lyrics, etc… And I declare this song as CRAP!!
Very nice! I'm very eclectic when it comes to music, and this is something that is definately going on my iPod.
Perez, this song sucks!!! Nothing like Jack or Mr. A-Z
My wife and I are big fans of yours, but c'mon man!
Que Bueno!! This song actually put me in a better mood….quite an accomplishment given I'm at work!
Thanks Perez - as always, your taste is supreme!! I HEART Perez!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Espen Lind also co-wrote beyonce- irreplaceable and chris brown- with you.
Love espen. He's written alot of songs for other artists aswell. Like Beyonces' "Irreplacable" and Chris Brown's "With you" and Jonas Brothers "underdog". and also songs for jessica simpson and ne-yo.
Love his music and his songwritings. "Irreplaceable" (Beyoncé) is another great song that he wrote.
so good i love his cover of sail away
does anyone remember his song "when susanna cries"?????
it was a hit in europe in 1997 i think…
Dude…quit taking cock in the ear and keep to taking it the butt…you have got to be off your rainbow colored rocker if you think that is a great song!
oh perez thank you thank you thank you this was awesome!! Nordic ad proud!!
Hey! Another Norwegian-ized post! Go Perez! Thanks for shoutin' out for Norway lately, we love you over here!
Perez.. I've lost your trust ahha ,
i hate this song!!
Good god, this is nowhere NEAR as good as you make it out to be Perez. It is a jaunty little tune but "The kind of song you play on repeat over and over again."?
Hardly
he is no Jason Mraz but I did like it, wasnt feeling the tuba in the background though. Still a good song Thanx
Espen Lind has actually written songs for Ne-Yo and Rihanna!
I'm not really feeling this song… I used to love 'When Susannah Cries' back in the day though.
If you like Espen Lind Perez, you should check out his band "Gitarkameratene" , (its norwegian and means the guitarbuddies:P)
Kurt Nilsen is also in this band.
nice =) Espen is a good artist
(even if he weren`t in his eary years) hehe
He looks like the Aussie from Idol. But cuter.
Re: UffDa –
they are called "de nye gitarkameratene"
I like his voice - and the song… but could do without the tuba…
I love Jack Johnson and Jason Mraz could probably keep me happy at the gym (if I couldn't reach my iPod to change the song), but honestly this dude sounded NOTHING like either of them. Sad. Great voice…American Idol would eat him up but he's not at all a CD I'd buy tomorrow because of talent…
Ehh…Perez, I give this guy a 5. I could leave 'em or hate 'em.
sounds like jason castro and he isings hallelulaja too
I hope this goes on itunes b/c I want to buy it! Good job.
This song reminds me of Rufus Wainwright
LOVE IT
PREATTY COOL…
Espen Lind is a great singer and songwriter, its good you finally have noticed him. He is also a producer that trough his company Espionage works with Stargate. He has worked on songs for Chris Brown, Jessica Simpson and Jordin Sparks to name a few.. A great musician!
By the way perez: Talking about norwegian artists on this site actually gets you into loads of norwegian papers.. its a quiet country you see, not alot happens!
Anybody know how to get the download? iTunes keeps flipping me back over to the US store, and this is on the Norwegian store…
JACK JOHNSON IS WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY BETTER!
sucks, very cheesy , makes me feel like cutting the cheese
Beautiful voice. Love the chorus. I found the tuba to be a bit distracting though (or whatever it was).
I loove the song! So different and happy and pure. He is soo hot!! Love his outfit, does anyone know who its by?
He has written Irreplaceble for Beyoncé with Ne-Yo and Stargate and the song With You by Chris Brown. I absoutly love the song, its quirky in a good way and sweet.
I'm from Norway, and I am a little stunned that you listen to Espen Lind… The fact that you even know who the guy is, is a little shock to me frankly…… But he has a great voice though….
Wow, Perez, I'm impressed. I loved Espen'd music since years ago when he had his major hits When Susannah Cries and Lucky For You.
Lucky For You is one of my favourite songs and videos EVER.
Kudos for promoting him!
So I play this song to hear what Perez is recommending now. He says trust me, you will LOVE this song…
So here I go pressing the button and turning up the speakers .. and no less than 10 seconds into the song my 9 year old son (guitar hero rocker) starts to tap the table to the beat of the song while doing his homework…
Boy, Perez, you on top of THIS GENERATION and the next!
I just bought the song on itunes, but you have to scroll down and change itunes store from USA to Norwegian, and then you´ll be able to purchase it.
You rock Espen!
Aww Perez! I love this song, listed to it 3 times so far =]. Its so cute, and so is he!!
Norways is patetich. Writing about Perez & how he writes about Norway & their artists..and SO PROUD over it. I mean, WTF?!?! He's a freaking BLOGGER! Not a A-list celeb. I mean, really?
Norway sucks: I should know, i'm from there.ugh.
Mario wants to "make out" with this singer. That's why. Poor Mario, can't get a hot guy because he is a fat screaming queen, so he makes up stories and keeps on dreaming.
Bashing hot gay couples because you can't have neither of them, is never a good idea you fat idiot!
It's pretty good. Can't take it too seriously because of the TUBA…sounds like a bunch of farts.
You need to check out Matt Nathanson…he's HOTTTT and funny and EXCELLENT! I recommend "come on get higher"
P.S.
But this song is nowhere near as great as the old hits. He should make more like Lucky For You and not this kind of stuff.
I suggest you listen to Alejandro Fuentes. He's latino and norweigian.
Perez you have a terrible taste in music. This song f*cking sucks donkey balls.
I haven't listened to it yet, but my son's name is Espen, so it can't be that bad!!
