Anita Hegerland (born 3 March 1961 in Sandefjord), is a Norwegian singer famous for her childhood career in Scandinavia, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, The Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and subsequent vocal contributions to Mike Oldfield's work, among others.
Her career is both historic and unique. She is one of the best-selling solo singers in Norway, with sales of more than 7 million albums and singles. Her songs have been released on nearly 23 million albums worldwide.
Hegerland had the biggest hit in Germany of any Norwegian artist ever, in front of Lene Nystrøm (AQUA), Marit Larsen, Madcon and A-ha.
For more than 20 years she had the record in Sweden as the singer who was the longest on Svensktoppen, the main music charts.
Hegerland was discovered at age 8 by Fredrik Friis during a Christmas show where she was performing. Hegerland's musical career took off in 1970 with "Mitt sommarlov" (transl: My Summer Vacation) in the Scandinavian countries. It spent 22 weeks on Norway's singles chart, with two weeks at #1, and the song was also a #1 hit in Sweden. In 1971 she released a single with German artist Roy Black; "Schön ist es auf der Welt zu sein (It's beautiful to be in the world)" in German-speaking countries. The song was recorded both with German and Norwegian vocals. It sold over 2 million copies (of which more than 1.3 million came from Germany), and spent 30 weeks on the singles chart (top peak #3) in Norway.
Down by the River may refer to:
"Down by the River" is a song composed by Neil Young. It was first released on his 1969 album with Crazy Horse, Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere. Young explained the context of the story in the liner notes of his 1977 anthology album Decade, stating that he wrote "Down by the River," "Cinnamon Girl" and "Cowgirl in the Sand" while delirious in bed in Topanga Canyon with a 103 °F (39 °C) fever.
The lyrics are apparently about someone who kills his lover by shooting her, like a murder ballad, or in the tradition of the mid-60s song "Hey Joe." The reason he gives for the killing is that she takes him to emotional heights from which he cannot bear to go on. Young has provided multiple explanations for the lyrics. In an interview with Robert Greenfield in 1970 Young claimed that "there's no real murder in it. It's about blowing your thing with a chick. It's a plea, a desperate cry." Introducing the song in New Orleans on September 27, 1984 Young claimed that it depicts a man "who had a lot of trouble controlling himself" who catches his woman cheating on him, then meets her down by the river and shoots her. A few hours later the sheriff comes to his house and arrests him.
'Down by the River' is a song by Australian hip hop trio Bliss n Eso. It released on May 14, 2010 through Illusive Sounds as the first single from the trio's fourth studio album Running On Air. The song debuted at No. 83 on the ARIA Singles Chart, it peaked at No. 45 on its 12th week on the chart. It also finished at No. 41 on the Triple J Hottest 100 for 2010. In 2013, 'Down by the River' was accredited gold by the Australian Recording Industry Association for sales/shipments of 35,000 copies.
The song's accompanying music video was released on Bliss n Eso's official YouTube channel on June 16, 2010, it achieved over 300,000 and an alternate upload has around 1 million views. In the video, Bliss n Eso move quickly through a forest while they rap the song, as well as go BMX riding, fishing and riding wheelie bins.
The song debuted at No. 83 on the ARIA Singles Chart, in its 12th week it peaked at No. 45 and spent a total of 18 weeks on the chart. In 2013, 3 years after its release, "Down by the River" was certified gold for sales/shipments of over 35,000 copies.

Tonight, tonight, the fading twilight. There's a hollow deep in the woods Where you know you're crazy To go, to go, not even meant to know There are... Pictures in the dark, I see all around. Voices calling underground And I'm watching the stars since the World was found. One, two, three. Pictures in the dark, I see Morpheus comes to me. Pictures in the dark, I see. Aurora sets you free. And in the deepest dark You come to a maze in. The night, the night, the fading twilight. And you shiver the glistening path Where you know you're crazy To go, to go, not even mean...

I know you'll never stay the same
In time most of us lose it
But I'm hoping just the same
You'll shine and learn how to use it
Speak to me like the very first speak
You are magnificent when you're innocent
Laugh to me like the very first laugh
You are from heaven sent when you're innocent
My hands hold you and you adore
Blue eyes turn my direction
Suprise in everything and your
Body moves in perfection
Smile to me like the very first smile
You are magnificen when you're innocent
Walk to me like the very first walk
You are from heaven sent when you're innocent
Sunrise here comes another day
Cow jumps over the moon now
Sometime you will look back and say
Today I'll sing my own tune
Sing to me like the very first sing
You are magnificent when you're innocent
Laugh to me like the very first laugh
You are omipotent when you're innocent
Speak to me like the very first speak
You are magnificent when you're innocent
Smile to me like the very first smile
You are from heaven sent when you're innocent
Sing to me like the very first sing
