Hi there, flower654! Welcome to the forum!
As far as I'm aware no one has scanned the lyrics in booklet yet. It's a little strange that booklet scans don't come with the iTunes purchase, like on some of Maria's previous releases, where there is a digital booklet. But I have the lyrics typed up in documents and can post them in this thread if you'd like that. Unfortunately I don't have a scanner or printer but I do have the booklet as I have bought the CD. -

We have a area called lyrics in this forum. If you want to you can put them there. Please make an own thread for each song. If you don’t want to, I will do it next week.

I can do that, Carina. "Leaving You" and "I Don't Wanna See You with Her" is already in the lyrics section.
Yes, but there is a difference in the live version and the studio version of LEAVING YOU. Do you already found out?

So the lyrics are posted:
"Good God" - [Growing Pains] Good God
"The Baby" - [Growing Pains] The Baby
"Leaving You" - [Growing Pains] Leaving You
"I Don't Wanna See You with Her" (transcribed and posted by limpy) - I Don't Want to See You With Her
"Good and Bad" - [Growing Pains] Good and Bad
"Not Sober" - [Growing Pains] Not Sober
"Confess!" - [Growing Pains] Confess!
"Where I Come From" - [Growing Pains] Where I Come From
"Bend till I Break" - [Growing Pains] Bend till I Break
"You Deserve Better" - [Growing Pains] You Deserve Better
"Growing Pains" - [Growing Pains] Growing Pains -
-
It was my pleasure to do it, Carina
I'm still feeling very impressed by the song "Bend till I Break". And I feel that there's a connection between certain metaphors/lines in different songs on this album. Not sure if it's too early to begin a discussion about the lyrics - but when the time comes that more people would like to discuss the songs, I'll participate. -
An import of Growing Pains (the CD) is now available in the UK from Amazon: amazon.co.uk/Growing-Pains-Mar…r=8-1&keywords=maria+mena
Also, a digital copy of Growing Pains is available to download from HMV's digital portal here: hmvdigital.com/releases/4906717 -
She replied to someone on Twitter that "there are a couple of unreleased tracks that i might put out but no plans as of yet;)" (Source: twitter.com/mariamena_no/status/673578183988518912). That's interesting, given how many tracks she wrote between Weapon in Mind and Growing Pains that we're aware of. She said in the "Skavlan" interview that she wrote 27 songs, and has also said in an interview with a German site that she wrote 27 songs when she worked on this new album.

The CD is also available on Amazon in the USA: amazon.co.uk/Growing-Pains-Mar…=maria+mena+growing+pains
And in France: amazon.fr/Growing-Pains-Maria-…=Maria+Mena+Growing+Pains -
She did an interview with Spotify Norway (Norsk på Spotify) (link: norskpaspotify.no/maria-mena-intervju/) and in the interview she says that the songs she wrote came to her with 2 months intervals (i.e. writing something new every 2 months). She elaborates, and says she didn't feel that she saw the light in the tunnel before it was short time left until the release. She also says that her songwriting process is pretty long as it's over a year long. About work-related plans she says she'll play a lot in 2016 and also that she will be working until December 23rd this year.

This Facebook post is an excerpt from the upcoming interview with Maria that the newspaper Dagbladet will print on Saturday: facebook.com/DbMagasinet/posts/946561398769867:0
Part of it goes (translated the Norwegian bits) : "She hums lines from a song that didn't make the final cut for Growing Pains: «Why did no one tell me how much it hurts. This can’t be lonely, it feels much worse. I envy him and how he moved on, while I’m still wondering where we went wrong»."
So that's another song that has been mentioned, in addition to "This Isn't Easy". -
In this article Maria says that she has actually written a Christmas record with lots of songs. She says that there are lots of Christmas records and songs available, she is not quite sure whether she is going to release the album she has made or not (Source: kjendis.no/2015/12/23/kjendis/…ul/kos/tyskland/42313241/). In the interview with Costume magazine that she did (there is a translation available in another thread), she said that she had written five songs for a Christmas concept album.

Sehr super. Vielen dank für die gute und tolle Information. Ich freue mich auf die Update.Ich hatte zuvor einige andere Hüllen ausprobiert und habe diese hier relativ planlos aufgrund der Bewertungen gekauft. Zu dem Preis erschien mir das Risiko ziemlich gering. Und ich muss sagen: es hat sich gelohnt! Die Hülle passt wunderbar - und ganz wichtig: sie steht vorne am Display etwas über, sodass bei einem kleinen Sturz aufs Display ein gewisser Schutz vorhanden ist.http://www.hulle6.com

I just watched the broadcast of the press conference for the nominations to Spellemannprisen 2015 (the Norwegian equivalent to the Grammys). Maria's album Growing Pains received no nominations and Maria received no other nominations (she was nominated for Best Lyricist (the Norwegian term is Åres tekstforfatter) for the album Viktoria. Susanne Sundfør received four nominations, Lars Vaular received three nominations, Anneli Drecker (former member of the band Bel Canto) received three nominations, the newcomer Sondre Justad received three nominations. My favourite album of the year, Gode by Andre Bratten, received a nomination in the category Electronica. All nominations are here: twitter.com/Spellemann and here: aftenposten.no/kultur/Susanne-…emann-priser-8304976.html

I just discovered that "I Don't Wanna See You with Her" is at #9 on the Norwegian airplay charts of this week (Source: ifpi.no, under the headline "Radiolista").
