Turn Off My Heart - Music Video
The Artists emotions and loneliness is overwhelming. But does he run away from the emotions, or does he dive into them? The forces of nature, the ocean, the waves, the wind - the video shows you all this. Beautiful, dangerous, mighty! As metaphores of his feelings and his struggles, but maybe also his savior, his redemption? This music video takes you into the world and thoughts of the Artist, you experience the forces of nature first hand - but also the calm of it all. We all need to dive into our emotions sometimes, face what comes our way - and then hopefully, be able to move on. Emotions are part of life for all of us.
This Music Video was made from a love of music and nature, for the song Turn Off My Heart. This was Bjørn Olav Edvardsens debut as a solo artist in the norwegian selection for Eurovision 2023.
