This was quite something wasn’t it? I believe Lene Marie Fossen was a friend of Susanne Sundførs and that's why she did the musical accompaniment to this programme about her life. The shot where she's in hospital and a woman is sitting holding her hand, that's Susanne Sundfør and that sets me off every time. But you were recommended a great way to start a Susanne journey, she's a seriously influential Norwegian artist who has paved the way for many other Norwegian female singer songwriters. She's like Eivør in many ways, to me the next place you go with her is her Collab with Royksopp - running to the sea, undercover (Live version as well as studio), White Foxes, Silicon Veil or if you want an album review go to Ten Love Songs. You keep picking up on my absolute favourite artists! Keep up the good work.
Thank you for your comment Einar! I am adding this one to the request list. Susanne sounded amazing on this, but I know I am yet to hear more of her capabilities for sure
thanks you got into it! the word "timelessness" in her lyrics has a very deep meaning in this song, because lene wanted to be timeless, she wanted to stop growing, she didn't want to be an adult. at that time in life she got her first camera and she realized: she could really stop time, in her pictures, but also on her body. that was the moment where she stopped eating. and with this state of being this terminal ill and tiny woman, with her little little camera, she was able to get very connectet to the people she is portraying. they trusted in her imediately. what a loss for the world of photography. i have listened to this song a thousand times and every time it makes me burst into tears. heartwarming reaction.
I'll take it like a man and I am crying like a little b****.. This is absolutely beautiful and mindblowingly hard to watch.. As a Dane I feel that Susanne is a near and dear relative because of the history of our two countries and I will be a hardcore fan as long as I live.. She does have a lot more upbeat songs to show.. My favorite is "Accellerate".. The beauty of her voice combined with the harshness of the song, makes it my favorite.. Thank you for this reaction video.. She does something to us all and therein lies the beauty..
@@Yeedeed Literally persilledusk means "a leaf of parsley" But in Norway its used as describing someones who is very tender and sensitive. But, take my advice now, you must just bring it all on.
A BEAUTIFUL REACTION. The music and the pictures talks here, and words become small. Susanne shows her vocals in the beautiful Undercover from Stoller Hall.
It is a really touching piece of work. This was originally just meant to be a song to the documentary about Lene (the photographer) her life, illness and work. She ended up dying before she could see it finished and the song became somewhat of a lament. I always cry when I hear it, it just resonates with something inside.
Absolutely beautiful song, your 1 year channel anniversary reaction compilation brought me here, so thank you. Felt exactly the same as you did in this video.
Oh man... Great reaction Mike! This was a tough one. I'm a non professional photographer (gone to schools and so on) but I've totaly missed Lene Marie fossen... OMG This was amazing and so tough to see. Amazing photographs and honesty behind it. WOW!!! This.... I have no words. And together with this song and the voice of Susanne Sundfør. Powerful and strong and it hits you hard. This was an eye opener for me Mike. Thank you! Be safe Björn
Not a big deal but I've heard the FOR in Sundfor in Norwegian is pronounced like we say fjord ... ( without the d ) ~ that line through the O signifies that sound ... It's funny ; reminds me ... most of us say BEE YORK for Bjork ... Even though in Icelandic it's pronounced BERK ... Oh , language !
No, Ø is pronounced similar to the e in "earth", or the u in "turn". Bjørk is pronounced as spelled, in a quite mundane manner. English speakers will add vowels making it into bEEEE-joooohhhkkah" and other weird things. It really is very easy - just think of how you pronounce Birch, because that is what her name is! 😃
Thanks for the reaction, I´ve seen this so many times but I keep coming back for more, even though I ball my eyes out every time. Please react to other songs from Susanne like The Oblivion OST feat-M83 soundtrack (Jimmy Kimmel video) or Undercover!
I would recommend pretty much all songs by Susanne, she is quite varied and each albums sound is different. But songs perhaps others won't recommend that are worth a listen is Silicone Veil (live official version), Memorial, Turkish Delight or I resign :)
I would not be surprised if this video took 10 hours or more to edit precisely with the music ... If not more ! Sometimes as an artist .. you have to leave and come back ... to work on it some more .. The balance you strive for is to know when to stop .. ~ The essence / .

what a beautiful way to.. to commemorate someone...
Beautiful and a real heart warming reaction Yeedeed. Susannes own "Undercover" live at The Stoller Hall shows her vokal abilities and presence
Thank you for your comment Einar! I am adding this one to the request list. Susanne sounded amazing on this, but I know I am yet to hear more of her capabilities for sure
I second that - "Undercover" is my favourite of Susanne Sundfør!

i have listened to this song a thousand times and every time it makes me burst into tears.
heartwarming reaction.
When you said you were ready at the start I thought no one's been ready for this
I've cried to this music video numerous times. I came upon the song when I was going through depression, and it devastated me for a week.
This song makes me tear up every time. Good to see this on your channel!

Yeedeed, I thank you for that. It's no shame in crying, you know. I weep like every time I see this, and I am no persilledusk (as we say in Norway)
Thank you, I know. What does Persilledusk mean?
@@Yeedeed Literally persilledusk means "a leaf of parsley" But in Norway its used as describing someones who is very tender and sensitive. But, take my advice now, you must just bring it all on.
I warned you that this song & video might just bring some tears to your eyes! 🙂 The music alone and Susanne's voice are enough to make me teary.

This is very beautiful!
All kinds of beauty of a harsh reality..
Absolutely beautiful song, your 1 year channel anniversary reaction compilation brought me here, so thank you. Felt exactly the same as you did in this video.
great honest reaction!
Oh man... Great reaction Mike!
This was a tough one. I'm a non professional photographer (gone to schools and so on)
but I've totaly missed Lene Marie fossen... OMG
This was amazing and so tough to see. Amazing photographs and honesty behind it.
WOW!!!
This.... I have no words.
And together with this song and the voice of Susanne Sundfør.
Powerful and strong and it hits you hard.
This was an eye opener for me Mike. Thank you!

If you're going to listen more to Susanne, "The brothel" is a really beautiful song :)
I cry everytime I listen to it
RIP Lene Marie ❤️
So beautiful❤️❤️❤️❤️

Remember Aurora's The River; "You can cry" "let the river run wild". No shame in it and it feels great 💙😉
Thank you! I didn't receive Aurora's lesson on that until after this video...
Thank you !
I would recommend pretty much all songs by Susanne, she is quite varied and each albums sound is different. But songs perhaps others won't recommend that are worth a listen is Silicone Veil (live official version), Memorial, Turkish Delight or I resign :)
❤️ so heartbreaking
White foxes is immense. I’m sure you won’t be surprised to know she has performed with a-ha
🌸💕🌸✨
You should really check out Susanne Sundfør the brothel.
...live at cigalle
❤️❤️❤️
I recomend you to see the movie and take inn also the wordless music in the film -
6:10 Susanne Sundfør at Lenes death bed
, sorry 6:08
I would not be surprised if this video took 10 hours or more to edit precisely with the music ... If not more !
Sometimes as an artist .. you have to leave and come back ... to work on it some more ..
The balance you strive for is to know when to stop ..
