That song and video are hard to watch, but so beautiful
„Memorial” is underrated Susannes’s must have! It’s a piece of a truly celestial music
Lene Marie Fossen lived with anorexia since she was ten years old, and through her own stories and experiences, we get along well on her way to her inner gate.
She shares openly about traumatic experiences with coercion in the health care system, about the fear of becoming an adult and about living with a disease that is all too often met without understanding and with burdensome mistakes....."My photos are not about anorexia, they are about human suffering" - Lene Marie Fossen
This is so right, until this day anorexia is often so understood....The fact is that it is one of the hardest mental diseases to overcome. Treatment is often failing dispite the knowlegde that is there last few decades. It has took me 10 years of my life with many times in hostipal, and I am not the only one...Music and Art is so powerful to see to rise above this all en that is excacly what Lene did...
So good to experience there is still empathy in this world
Susanne's music is ethereal, and its beauty just breaks your heart when you watch Lene's story. I was crying with you, while I was watching your reaction.
I feel that in many ways she (Sundfør) sparked the rise of talented, young female singer/songwriter in Norway. She has been immensly influential in my book. It is impossible to be untutched by her. Thanks Adam.
I can agree with that. Susanne definetely ploughed some new fields.
@@judyjude True
I agree with you. She is extremely underrated.
Indubitably. She's the ur-Aurora.
@@donotthink You are not far of there pal.
Can recommend her collaboration with Røyksopp, "Running to the sea". It's written after the massacre at Utøya
If you want to hear something a bit more industrial/80's I'd give "Accelerate" a listen.
"The Brothel" and "White Foxes" are also great songs.
White Foxes from her Nobel peace prize concert in 2012 is a very good version of the song.
Another song worth listening to by Susanne Sundfør is Knight of Noir.
Susanne has so many good songs, hell i can't find bad ones on her albums
Silicone veil is also worth a mention :)
Fade away... mountaineers... so many, she is such a pure and gifted singer and composer. Hi from Portugal
@@Battlenude yes
I love your respectful and heartfelt reaction. I sobbed! Beautifully sung and a heart rending video.
Thank you Adam, for reacting to this. Ive seen this music video so many times and I cried with you again. And you are right, this is more than a music video and a song. Some of her soulful portraits here are of victims of the refugee crisis on the island of Chios in Greece. Lene Marie’s last wish was that her work should be shared with as many people as possible.
Susanne’s voice is so hauntingly beautiful and Lene was an extremely talented photographer and artist and had a will power like no other. She wanted desperately to live, and her parents had a hope she would make it, cause she was always so strong. She stopped eating when she was 10 and lived with this terrible disease for 23 years (she died when she was 33, under 17 kg). Its so sad and heartbreaking.
She has said she wanted to be much more than just a disease. She has said the following «My photographs are not about anorexia. They are about human suffering.».And that is what is left; the goodness, the wisdom and the old soul in a young body. She took great care of those around her, said the producer of the documentary who had also become her friend. She got to see the premiere of the documentary a week before she died.
Lene emphasized that she wanted the film to happen. It was important for her to get her story out, and show her art. She wanted to show the pain she had, with the hope that it can help others afterwards.
Lene Marie actually herself asked Susanne to collaborate with her on the documentary.
BTW Lene is pronounced with both E’s like the E in «help»
Finally! Reaction videos to the magnificent Susanne... I've been requesting for years.
The man who gave Lene that hug in the film, was Morten Krogvoll - maybe one of Norways top 3 photographers. Lene had artistic recognition before she left us
For me, she has the best female voice of all. I am very moved every time I hear her voice and her songs. But in life concerts, her voice sounds 1000 times better than on CD or on the Internet, I couldn't believe it either, but I was able to experience a concert in Berlin in 2017 and it was absolute awesome. See you then.
please do more susanne reactions 🥺❤️❤️
Exquisite singing. Another artist I was unfamiliar with until just now. And the photographer! Who are we as humans, that we can create such exquisite beauty, yet think so little of ourselves that we self-destruct? But we do, we do. What a mystery.
Words can’t express the absolute beauty in her music and in those amazing photographs. Thank you so much for reacting to this and sharing the experience.
It does not often happen that I discover something special when watching a reaction video. I am particularly attracted to the manner in which Susanne Sundfør sings in this song... the variety of melodies and the runs and trills you simply rarely hear in music. Susanne's voice is an instrument.
This song gets me every time, thank you for the reaction and your thoughts. The documentary doesn’t seem to be available with English subtitles yet, but the official website has a “stay tuned - we’ll update once it becomes available” message. So many lovely comments and terrific recommendations here, very curious to see where you’ll end up next as you discover more of her music. Could be atmospheric electronica, ‘80s inspired synth pop, indie/folk, 10 minute long Philip Glass-y tracks, ballads... Susanne likes to change things up.
i NEVER clicked a notification so fast in my whole life! had to wait for a moment to comment, cause......yeah had to cry a little, this always brings me to tears, needed to collect my self. Thank you Adam, you are the best, hands down THE best!! Thank you for noticing a true artist, and i mean both of the two in this video 💖 i am so happy someone finally recognizes the gem Susanne is and reacts to her absolutely fantastic music 💗
Thank you for your wonderful comment :)
I watched it for the second time. The first time I just stared at the screen when it was over. When I saw you were getting ready to watch it I jumped aboard. Thank you for your words, Adam, I really needed that. I'm getting to understand Norway is a very, very special place with very special people.
Words can’t express the absolute beauty in her music and in those amazing photographs. Thank you so much for reacting to this💗
With good reasons, the most emotional reaction video I have ever seen. Thx
THANK YOU for exploring Susanne Sundfør. She deserves to be more famous outside Norway. I hope you react to more of her songs, or at least take the time to listen to her albums!
Hauntingly beautiful. Great reaction as always.
Oh Adam. I cried with you. You are such a warm and genuin person. Thank you for sharing this! The documentary about Lene is really difficult to watch, but very beautiful at the same time. Susanne is also a part of the documentary as well, because she and Lene were friends. And her music features throughout the documentary. So glad that you like Susanne! Can't wait to see what you react to next.
I'm crying with you here Adam ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ Thank you
Thank you so much for this reaction. This is such a beautiful and heart breaking song and video.
I first noticed Susanne when she collaborated with the artist Kleerup in a song called "Let Me In". The song is very nice kind of 80's vibe synthpop song and I thought the singing was something special, but then I kind of moved on without searching for other stuff from her. Few months later I've stumbled upon an article about Susanne and how she was about to release her album "Ten Love Songs" (which is amazing), and I remembered her name from that collab. That article mentioned an older song by her, called "White Foxes", so that was the second song I've heard by her. This was over 5 years ago, but I can remember clearly which day it was, where I was sitting and how blown away I was. Since then she has become my favorite active artist and I love pretty much everything she has done.
So apart from "White Foxes", I can also recommend: The Brothel, The Silicone Veil, Delirious, Reincarnation, Mountaineers, Running to the Sea (featured in this Royksopp song). These are only my personal absolute favorites of this truly remarkable artist.
I reacted exactly the same.......tearfully speechless❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The song Mountaineers is a masterpiece, probably her best composition yet.
I think this is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve heard. Brings me to tears every single time I hear it. I only saw the video this morning I don’t know where I’ve been honestly but it passed me by. Wow. I’m blown away.
Thank you so much Adam, for this honest and heartwarming reaction.
I think this may be one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written
I so agree with you, Tom.
Here, it is absolute thundering silence in my house.
Even the walls resonate with an abyssmal sorrow, a torment empty of words or sounds.
A last resort prayer of desolation, soundless groonings of despair and, from far and away, a faint hope of mercy coming from a distant cloud.
@@jacquespicotte8493 =)
Me too, Adam. Emotional music but add in the images and story and the impact is huge. Mental health is such a difficult area to treat successfully.
Dear Adam, a few weeks ago I have subscribed to your channel and I am glad tot doing that. My heart is still pounding after seeing this. Thank you for the warning upfront so I was prepared. As a survivor of this severe illness felt every emotion you did and more. Your reaction was so full of respect, for the music, the art and the circumstances. When I am ready for it,I want to see Selfportret as well. Love from the Netherlands
I just cried ......so beatiful
Wrapping you in a big hug, Adam. "When the Lord" (music, Lene and her work) calls for each of us to reach out to one another and just hold on. Thank you for reacting so honestly.
Glad I'm not the only one who cried when first listening to this song.The thought of the Lord coming down and taking away all my worries just brought me to my knees. I love Susanne Sundfor. Her music is divine.
I salute you for having the guts to put this Video up. Its a strong rollercoaster of a song going thru it.
It made a mess of me first time i watched it.
Just a few input. Lene traveled down the Greese with her Camera. She then was present when a group of war refugies(presumable from Syria region) arrived by Sea. And those kids Lene displayed, they are haunting images. Imagine what they had gone thru..
RIP Lene
Just watched self portrait on the Norwegian equivalent of the BBC, NRK.tv. i presume its geo-locked but it might not be, or VPN might be used to bypass i presume. it sadly does not have English captions on the site. Amazingly powerful especially when Lene ruminates on her condition and how she struggled against her own mind. I dont have an ED but still found so many things she said poignant and relatable. Susannes music really complimented Lenes work
Thank you for the moment of silence after the video. 🙏🏻 I needed that moment to gather myself also. This young lady used her art to bring awareness of human suffering whether it was self inflicted or by victims of their environment. This was a beautiful tribute to this photographer who captured a message through a lens... ❤️🙏🏻
I also cried the first time I heard and saw this.🥺 This is so beautiful and sad the same time!🥺❤️
I have no words other than thank you Adam.
❤️🙏Thank you❤️❤️.. love this song and the pictures. Tre amazing women Susanne, Margareth Olin( filmmaker) and the photographer. Rest in peace❤️
i have been trying to view the documentary in question for awhile but i can’t find it anywhere, the beauty of the song is absolutely heart wrenching, just beautiful
What a deep, sympathetic understanding your reaction was to this song and video.
I've watched / listened to this many many times, and I still get the same emotional reaction every time that you just had - even when watching your reaction video now. 💗
Thank you for a wonderful and heartfelt reaction. ❤️I cry every time I watch this video, I can really relate to your feelings.
Thank you for reacting to this. It certainly deserve it.
its the angelina jordan, aurora fans that are spreading the norwegian music artists, that is big in our country, but might not be so famous beyond our border, which is a shame, cause we have so many great artists that deserve recognition beyond our borders too :p
Omg ! I cry so hard.
This message is so hard. 😭
Heartbreakingly beautiful music and video, nothing more to say about that. If anyone doesn't get moved I wonder if they have a soul at all.
I attended the pre-premiere of the documentary, with the director, parents, press, fellow Norwegian photographers, many of them told stories of her life before the screening started. So, so sad, but also some good memories and anecdotes.
Susanne Sundfør was not there unfortunately, but if I remember correct, she became friends with Lene during the writing process and were in the film together with Lene.
Thanks for a great reaction to this beautiful piece of music.
Beautiful and so sad 😞 I ‘m crying here! Thanks Adam! 💖🇧🇷
Thank you for this!
Absolutely beautiful voice and a heart breaking video. It was hard to watch but I am glad I got the opportunity to see such a wonderful production.
This video and this song show the rawness of this battle.
I feel and see the deep wounds inside, portraited on the outside - that live in the psychy and the soul.
I have huge compassion for this deep subject and can relate with my own story♥️
Keep showing up with our hearts first to the people around us.
The warmth and love from eachother is the medicine our world need♥️
It's hard to see they cannot break out of God bless everyone of them everyone hang in there be strong beautiful video Beautiful video
and the clip at the death bed where the two artists holding hands - there is no words, but there is everything. go see the film
I'm crying every time I hear this song - and I was crying with you this time. And what a nice reaction you gave. Respect! Thank you.
You had the same reaction as I did when I first saw this incredibly moving piece of art. Great video and I appreciate how much you felt this.
Ekte og uendelig vakkert ❤️
Real and infinitely beautiful ❤️
Beautiful 💕 and sad 😥. Thank you! 🎼🇳🇴
i can’t even compose myself to form a comment to this. my heart is moved and broken by this. thank you Adam for your comments on this. you are very correct in what you said. xo
This is art, it is human, it is transcendental, it was like Angels singing a prayer and comfort.
Thanks for your reaction to Susanne Sundfør🙏❤️❤️❤️. Now seeing it for the 3 time... 😢🌹💕
Hi Adam! I'm so happy that you made this video!❤❤❤ I reacted the same way... I cried a lot in the first time I ever listened to this beautiful wonderful song!!! this is an Amazing artist for an amazing song and a very spiritual video and documentary... This broke my heart , 💔 and I think that the fact to have made this song for this documentary is genius and so heart breaking! This is the first song that made me heard about Suzanne Sundfor and now I listen a lot of songs of her! I love "Slowly" ,"Kamikaze", "Fade Away" ,"White foxes" ,"Undercover"... but I think you really have to hear by yourself some other songs because I think that Suzanne is an Amazing Artist 💖Bye Adam 😘🥰
there's something with her music that made me fall into depression twice, like i felt comfortable in there, it was really scary.
i love her music and a deeper way to know her is listening podcasts and interviews, she's really open about how she makes her music, which is quite fascinating.
and today, I watched your video knowing that i was gonna cry a lot 🥺
Thank you for sharing her music with more people!
Susanne Sundfør and Siobhan Donaghy are my favourite artists. ❤
exstremly important film
So sad!! I balled the first time I seen this video. It's so sad this woman was an incredible photographer. She stopped eating when she was ten years old. I'm new to listening to u Adam. I'm from Texas USA.
I had to share a tear with you! Fantastic reaction!
What a beautiful song and video.
Though I was completely lost
all the way through.
It wasn't till the end when you started your analysis of the song. Than I understood
Now that I know what the songs is all about I will have to watch it again.
Thank You
Great Reaction Stay Safe
Thank you for doing this song and thank you for showing such a raw and emotional response to it. The way you are feeling is exactly how I feel every time I hear Susanne Sundfor sing. When music touches you deeper than just the surface thats when you know that artist has something special.
Adam! I rewatch many of your reactions and I came back to this one today. Your empathy, emotion and analysis make you my favourite reaction channel. If I ever met you I'd just give you a big phat hug. ❤️
Thank you so much!
It's hard to watch this....again....
But I did....
Adam you're a beautiful loving man.
Respect to you for showing your real emotions and not hiding them.
Again much respect to you ♡
Thank you, Adam!
Appreciate your response ♡
From the Netherlands.
loving that you're reacting to her stuff more! keep up the good work :)
I recently watched this song (and video) for the first time and then I watched the trailer for Self Portrait right after it. I didn't realise until after the trailer that she had passed away. I went back and watched the song again and it was even more bittersweet. I would definitely love to watch the documentary but there doesn't seem to be anywhere that UK folks can.
«Selvportrett» is an incredibly poignant documentary. I attended two special showings last year (in January, pre-Corona). Lene Marie's parents and sister sat right in front of me. What the movie does right: It allows Lene to tell her own story, to control her own narrative. There is no third voice, or analytical voice-over here. No «medical experts» downplaying Lene's version of the events. It's an incredibly respectful documentary.
Susanne is a marvel.
Some of her songs really pierce into your heart.
And this version of her epic "mountaineers" wich shows the insane range of her voice ( live from london) ruclips.net/video/88N_6Ifp9UE/видео.html and her "sound of war" at the same concert ruclips.net/video/g5YIY9Hj4ss/видео.html. And the music from "ten love songs" and from "music for people in trouble" , which both can be listen to as concerts.
beautiful painful artfilm - and there is moore music in the film - left me in tears that was not just sad - but also enlightening and kind of comforting.
This is a nice reaction video, Adam. I do enjoy watching reactions such as this one of yours. Although I already had seen the documentary "Self Portrait", beforehand and therefore knew the story behind this beautiful sound track "When the Lord", that is the main sound track for the documentary. This obviously is purely heart breaking to anyone who's a human or human-like, and such a honest story about life. Nevertheless, I cry each time, even if I know the song and the outcome of the story, it's just too sad and touching and there's yet all this beauty in her images. I mean, her artwork, all those photos captures others people's lives and their emotions, and it's like she captures their souls in those photos. Such as for the refugee children that entered the shore of Greece or the elderly local people that had been around for long. I guess that to be such a great talent, it requires to know a bit about life and perhaps know about the darker side of life, to understand other people, and all sides, not just the happy times? There are so many shallow people about in the world, but this is so different, so heart felt. As a Norwegian, I'm obviously very much aware that Susanne Sundfør is a much appreciated and an award winning musician of the right reasons - and she is because she's good. It's as simple as that, because she's not one of those silicone babes out there. She's the real thing, she's an artist with her music and of the right reasons. And, Lene Marie Fossen, who's the photographer in the story, she was an artist with her camera. She captured so much life with those black and white, colourless images, and made then appear still so colourful as if it was made of magic, with that camera, didn't she? Sadly she left this world too soon. 23 is no age. I was at that age a long time ago. It's too soon to go, but she put her stamp on it. She was such a great talent and I trust that we all feel so much for her, regardless of personally knowing her or not, when see the music video. She seem easy to love, and yet we don't understand why nobody managed to save her from her own eating disorder that made her starve to death. This gentle soul, that couldn't be saved due to her severe eating disorder, anorexia, that she had dealt with since she was really young. Only ten. I guess many of us have had our struggles and perhaps even faced eating disorders ourselves, at times, although most wouldn't take it anywhere nearly as far as this. I trust that this song will keep touching people one way or another.
Omg thank you for this video . You cried, I cried,we all cried, it was beautiful.
I've been a fan of Susanne for years and had the chance of seeing her live and BOYYY the silence in the audience when she starts to sing . And you never know how she's gonna sing the song, she always changes something but has a perfect control of her voice. You can listen to all her lives and it's a different version every time. She's truly something else.
I'll recommend all her collabs with M83 , from the Oblivion soundtrack to "A word of wisdom" in which she only hums and it's still beautiful
Anyway gonna go watch your other videos bye !
You should really watch this documentary Adam. It's so powerful, beautiful and brutal in it's honest way.
I watched it at cinema when it came out. I highly recommend it
You are a good guy Adam Straughan, you are a real human being....its rare these days.
You have the best music reactions on the Internet. Congratulations on a very good job. I follow you all the time.
she is so amazing all of her songs are great her voice should be put out there
Hard to find the right words for that video but what a beautiful song in combination with that video. Very impressive!!!
Thanks for sharing and being just yourself! Good that nobody could see me watching and listening to that music video...also got tears in my eyes!!!
Thanks alot!
bro, just love how you react to this beautiful song
My best Susanne Sundfør suggestion is to pick up her two masterpiece albums “The Brothel” (2010), and her maybe best album “Music for People in Trouble (2017). Start with the album from 2010 and try to listen through the full album, that’s a sacred experience I promise. Continue another day with full attention through Music for People in Trouble in one listening experience. I like to listen to her while I run, and I experienced The Runners High a couple of times listening through both “Brothel” and “Music..” Other songs I would recommend is Running to the Sea with Röyksopp, The Silicone Veil, and White Foxes. I don’t like all of her videos, but music, sound and voice are mind blowing.
Also there is Oblivion, with M83 another masterpiece
You articulated everything we feel when we watch this. It's soo stunning! Something so delicate and beautiful can hit you so hard. It's tragic, but a genuinely moving and spiritual experience. ❤️
Love your message on understanding suffering. Beautiful, haunting and endlessly sad video.
Thank you for introducing me to this artist.
Thank you for sharing this with me. There may be bright colours from shadows.
I haven't seen the documentary yet but i'm looking foward to it, check out Susan's featuring with Röyksopp a norwegian(of course) electronic duo. Such as "running to the sea" "never ever" and more that I don't remember right now.
I didn't discover Susanne until around 3 years ago and have been a massive fan ever since, she's an incredible singer/songwriter. At 5:10 you can see Susanne by Lene's hospital bed gently stroking her hand. It makes a nice change to see someone shedding tears without any shame, good on you Adam. You have a new subscriber.
Yeah that moment got me too
I recommend you get all of her albums, they're all brilliant in different ways, personally I think her debut album is her best.
Beautiful Adam❤️
yes INCREDIBLE beautiful and touching - everything,
She’s incredible. I went down the rabbit hole a few months ago, and this lady just blows me away.
I really don't know how to describe all the feelings listening and viewing that video.
Just a beautiful experience.
you are a so sensitive guy i simply adore you
