Yohanna's first adult album "Butterflies and Elvis" recorded with British songwriter Lee Horrocks and sound engineer Thomas Yezzi. Asked to say what he thought of Yohanna, Yezzi commented
"She is a young, white Icelandic girl with the soul of a fifty year old black woman. She's really amazing."
The album was well received upon its release in early 2008.
Yohanna's years as a child recording star were now well and truly behind her and she put all her heart and soul into her newly honed sound.

You're saying, that it's over You tell me you've lost your faith and... I stand and I watch as you're building a wall You kiss me, as you're leaving inside my head I'm screaming I close my eyes as your closing the door
We don't have to say goodbye We don't have to end tonight like this Whatever you said, whatever I did I'll always love you
I see you, as you're waiting Unsure of the move you're making You're drying your eyes as I open the door
We don't have to say goodbye We don't have to end tonight like this Whatever you said, whatever I did I'll always love you
We don't have to say goodbye We don't have to end tonight like this Whatever you said, whatever I did I'll always love you
We don't have to say goodbye We don't have to end it with a kiss Whatever you said, whatever I did I'll always love you...
I'll always love you

Don't fill the spaces, just close your eyes Don't make me lose this high It's not my intention, to close you down In wide open spaces, we can walk for miles ‘Cos behind your eyes, I can be myself I can hear a thousand words But nothing's being said, We can both be beautiful in silence
A broken illusion, I'm bruised by sound Don't make a fool out of my now It's not my intention, to close you down In wide open spaces, we can see for miles
And behind your eyes I can be myself I can hear a thousand words But nothing's being said We can both be beautiful in silence
Behind your eyes I've found my home Somewhere I belong, a shelter from the storm This is like a whole new world
And behind your eyes I can be myself I can hear a thousand words But nothing's being said We can both be beautiful in silence

Oh they don't understand me They watched me burn As I scream and shout Bone-dry umbrella lets me down Mmm-mmm-mmm
My future is over-rated Watch my mind explode Into a thousand pieces
Come quickly Mother dearest Come quick Gonna miss my Indian ropetrick Gonna miss my Indian ropetrick
Oooh...
My future is over-rated Watch my mind explode Into a thousand pieces
Come quickly Mother dearest Come quick Gonna miss my Indian ropetrick Gonna miss my Indian ropetrick Gonna miss my Indian.. ropetrick
To answer your question I heard the music Sweet sweet music If you know what I mean And it's so amazing To find the river That's been flowing Right under my feet.
And I know you know me You know I got something happening And it's beautiful
He likes butterflies and Elvis That's so very rock'n'roll He eats french fries for breakfast I'm in love I'm in love with you so I'm in love I'm falling in love with you so
Looking for nothing I find my reason I'm in reason Bringing me whole
And it's a new day A sweet surrender To the music That's taking my heart
I know you know me You know I got something happening And it's wonderful
He likes butterflies and Elvis That's so very rock'n'roll He has french fries for breakfast I'm in love I'm in love with you so I'm in love I'm falling in love with you so
In the river I found me a rolling stone Oh, the music it's filled in my head And it's beautiful
He likes butterflies and Elvis That's so very rock'n'roll He has french fries for breakfast I'm in love I'm in love with you so I'm in love I'm falling in love with you so
Butterflies and Elvis
Butterflies and Elvis
Butterflies and Elvis
Butterflies ...and Elvis
Life's a magic world Dreams will never end No reality so just forget about it In another place At a different time It's kinda weird But I don't really wanna think about it
When I try to run Somebody pulls me back ‘cos they don't understand I wanna get away But they don't understand The funnything is That I can see myself Like the star on the big screen I guess I'm somebody else
It's like make believe In the wrong size dress And nobody wants Unless I'm somebody else
I wanna be myself And no-body else It's no fun being what you're not So just forget about it
In another place At a different time It's kinda weird But I don't really wanna think about it
When I try to run Somebody pulls me back As they don't understand I wanna get away But they don't understand
The funnything is That I can see myself Like the star on the big screen I guess I'm somebody else
It's like make believe In the wrong size dress And nobody wants Unless I'm somebody else
The funnything is That I can see myself
The funnything is That I can see myself
The funnything is That I can see myself
The funnything is That I can see myself...
He's telling me can't come That's got me thinking he's changing his mind
Says all my yesterdays gone Don't think tomorrow will be on my side
Then almost every day It tells me I'll never change things
I don't wanna live like this Both feet on the ground I live with the worryfish And drown...
He's telling me can't come That's got me thinking he's losing his mind
Thinks I should live in a world Where are the fools and the horses reside
In almost every way It tells me I'll never change things
I don't wanna live like this Both feet on the ground I live with the worryfish And drown...
I don't wanna live like this Both feet on the ground I live with the worryfish And drown...
And I don't wanna talk like her My head's in the clouds Where I swim with the worryfish And drown...
I swim with the worryfish And drown...
Flowers would have been nice Your mother doesn't like me I hate the way you comb your hair Your best friend is a loser You never bring me coffee And this is where the story ends
And I don't wanna lose myself But you making me head that way
You're normal as a monday My friend say you're a user You act like you're millionaire
Sorry would have been nice Conversation over And this is where the story ends
Cause I don't wanna lose myself But you making me feel that way
Oh I don't wanna lose myself But you making me head that way
Don't wanna lose myself...
Don't wanna lose myself
Spaceman, don't turn around Everybody looks at you Trippin' on your own regrets Speedball don't slow me down What am I supposed to do Sit around and watch you fall Like a new moon rising And sunshine fades away Everyone's in love with a movie star But if you don't want me then the price I gotta pay is knowing that it's over baby baby please
I don't wanna hear the words Coming out of your mouth If you say you're leaving me Never gonna be another guy here in my head But you don't believe in me
Spaceman, you're all I have Everybody laughs at you But that is all they're gonna get Speedball, you go too fast What am I supposed to do Sit around and watch you fall
Like a new moon rising And sunshine fades away Everyone's in love with a movie star But if you don't want me then the price I gotta pay is knowing that it's over baby baby please
I don't wanna hear the words Coming out of your mouth If you say you're leaving me Never gonna be another guy here in my head But you don't believe in me
But if you don't want me Then the price I gotta pay is knowing that it's over baby baby please
I don't wanna hear the words Coming out of your mouth If you say you're leaving me Never gonna be another guy here in my head But you don't believe in me
I don't wanna hear the words Coming out of your mouth I don't wanna hear the words Coming out of your mouth I don't wanna hear the words I don't wanna hear the words I don't wanna hear the words Coming out of your mouth Coming out of your mouth Coming out of your mouth Coming out of your mouth
Where do I begin...to sing a love song? That started with a kiss, that set my soul on fire Leading up to the day you left and made me cry
How can I forget...the way you touched me? And when you held my hand, you became my hearts desire Now I live for the day that I can turn back time
And I miss you, when I close my eyes Oh what a wonderful thing it would be if baby you and me could make things right
How am I gonna live..If you're not with me? Where will I belong, if you're not by my side? Now I live for the day that I can turn back time
Cos' I miss you, when I close my eyes Oh what a wonderful thing it would be if baby you and me could make things right
And I miss you (oh) when I hear your name Oh what a wonderful place this could be if baby you and me could feel the same
hoo-hoo hoo-hoo-hoo haa-haa hoo-hoo hoo-hoo-hoo haa-haa
And I miss you (oh) when I close my eyes Oh what a wonderful thing it would be if baby you and me could make things right
Where do I begin to sing our love song..

Make up is running down her face And her face it tells a story Of days gone by and days to come She's every colour that you know Something is going through her head And her head is almost broken She falls to pieces now and then She's every colour that you know
You know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know..
They call her the Rainbow Girl She lives in a blue blue world And she's coming down like rain She's looking for love and fame They call her the Rainbow Girl.. She's low and she's high but she's taking her time as she's slipping and sliding away.
Last night she cried herself to sleep Today she woke up laughing She let the water get too deep She's every colour that you know
You know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know..
They call her the Rainbow Girl She lives in a blue blue world And she's coming down like rain She's looking for love and fame They call her the Rainbow Girl.. She's low and she's high but she's taking her time as she's slipping and sliding away.
You know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know..
They call her the Rainbow Girl She lives in a blue, blue world And she's coming down like rain She's looking for love and fame They call her the Rainbow Girl She's low and she's high but she's taking her time As she's slipping and sliding away.
They call her the Rainbow Girl She's low and she's high but she's takin' her time As she's slipping and sliding away.
Make up is running down her face And her face it tells a story..

Pretty lover in the pourin' rain I wanna tell you what a fool I've been (oh I) I met a devil with an angels face (and I) I spent tonight inside his warm embrace But I was colder than I've ever known And now it's over And now I think I'm falling Out of my broken aeroplane I wanna fall into the river But the river is dry The river is dry
Pretty lover won't you talk to me Take us back to where we used to be (oh I) I was stupid in the path I chose I didn't know but baby now I know that It is cold inside a strangers arms And now it's over
And now I think I'm falling Out of my broken aeroplane I wanna fall into the river But the river is dry The river is dry
Oh lover we were meant to be They could write a book about our history (oh I) understand that it might take a while Please don't take too much time
Cos I think I'm falling Out of my broken aeroplane I wanna fall into the river But the river is dry The river is dry
And now I think I'm falling Out of my broken aeroplane I wanna fall into the river But the river is dry The river is dry The river is dry The river is dry The river is dry The river is dry
I'm feeling stronger Higher than the moon Bigger than the skies I'll beg your pardon If you want me to I will even try Or I could run away and hide from you Cos you believe I'm someone else It's impossible this rollercoaster ride
It's like walking on water Or people throwing stones at you And they don't know what you're going through As a matter of fact
It's like hanging on a wire With everybody pushing you And they don't know what you're gonna do As you fall to the ground
I get excited And then I have to stop And start all over
You make it harder For me to be myself Forget somebody else Should I run away and hide from you Or do the things you want me to On this miracle rollercoaster ride
It's like walking on water Or people throwing stones at you And they don't know what you're going through As a matter of fact
It's like hanging on a wire With everybody pushing you And they don't know what you're gonna do As you fall to the ground
I don't wanna drown In the tears of a clown
(Oh) It's like walking on water Or people throwing stones at you And they don't know what you're going through As a matter of fact
It's like hanging on a wire With everybody pushing you And they don't know what you're gonna do As you fall to the ground
Walking on water
It's like hanging on a wire
(Oh right) It's like walking on water Or people throwing stones at you And they don't know what you're going through
She takes an aeroplane Almost everywhere And he gets disappointed ‘cos she doesn't care She rides a limousine Three blocks a day And she's got no time for him He's in the way She just wants to play All her friends are singing
Na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na-na She won't ride a white bicycle
Na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na-na She won't ride a white bicycle
Her days are beautiful As she bleeds the air He wants to change things She doesn't care (doesn't care, doesn't care)
Now he rides a bicycle Three blocks a day She says she's leavin' cos He's in the way She just wants to play All her friends are singing
Na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na-na She won't ride a white bicycle
Na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na-na She won't ride a white bicycle
Na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na-na She won't ride a white bicycle
Na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na-na She won't ride a white bicycle
Na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na-na She won't ride a white bicycle
Na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na-na
