Un post condiviso da Lene Marlin (@lenemarlinofficial)

In her last post on Instagram, Lene has paid a thankful homage to colleague Ole Paus, who died on December 12th in Drammen at the age of 76.
Descendant of a Norwegian elite family, throughout a life full of experiences and collaborations, he stood out as singer, songwriter, poet, and author, and published about fifty albums and ten books.
His and Lene's artistic paths crossed during season 2 of Hver Gang Vi Møtes, aired in 2013. Ole Paus was a passionate supporter of the use of the Norwegian language: in the show's third episode, dedicated to Lene, he sang Masken, an adaptation of Lene's Disguise into Norwegian which touched Lene very much. Lene, in turn, sang Ole Paus' Jeg reiser alene and Engler i sneen, (the latter in duet with Kurt Nilsen), in episode seven (dedicated to Ole) and eight, respectively.
Later that same year Lene recorded Ole Paus' Omfavnelsen for his triple album Avslutningen, which, according to Ole Paus, was going to be his last one.
Here are Lene's words:

Ole ❤️ Your ability to see other people was special.
Thank you for all the moments, thank you for the music 🙏🏻 You touched so many hearts, also mine ❤️

We send our condolences to his family, and our thanks to Ole Paus for touching our hearts too, and making us experience one of the most emotional moments in the career of our beloved Lene Marlin.

However, Lene did not record her voice in the song, in which Skaug sings with Jenny Zett. Du har meg is part of a collection of 12 songs, available on Spotify and Apple Music, produced by company PwC as a Christmas present and released as a innovative advent calendar.

]]> Sun, 25 Oct 2020 09:16:00 <![CDATA[ Happy birthday Lene! ]]> Mon, 17 Aug 2020 23:26:00 <![CDATA[ New collaborations ]]> Thanks to the unceasing activity from our Kathie and Knox, we are now able to share with you not only Lene's recent participation in By:Songs, but also the playlist of the songs that were written in that occasion.
We know Lene has been writing all this time - she was also recently spotted working in studio - and has already taken part in events like this in the past. In 2009, she was in the workshop organized by EMI on Dvergsøya island (remember S'pose?), and in 2010 she was with other artists at Song Farm on Saltö island in Sweden.
Ad here are four songs from this year's By:Songs, the last of which is sung by Lene herself!

I Don't Wanna Talk (Lene Marlin, Jesper Borgen, Lara Andersson, Electric)
Too Close For Comfort (Lene Marlin, Jenson Vaughan, Skinny Days)
Love I Don't Know (Autumn Rowe, Lene Marlin, Lemaitre, Manon)
Would You (Lene Marlin, Lara Andersson, Jesper Borgen, Electric)

Further research allowed to track down other eleven (!) collaborations in the Warner/Chappel catalogue; most of these songs were written together with Tobias Stenkjaer (already rumored in the past to have worked with Lene). The danish singer and songwriter tweeted in 2011 about a weekend of songwriting with Lene, though none of the titles appear among his records. Here's the full list:

Cigarette eyes
Or live without me
My heart won't let you go
Not too late (for us)
Save this story
Sober
The hurt I know I'll cause
Won't bring me down
Crashed my fate
Seal this moment
Like you less

All tracks say "No masters available", therefore chances are they have never been recorded. ]]> Thu, 11 Apr 2019 14:34:00 <![CDATA[ "Free" available again on SoundCloud ]]> Free is back available for streaming on SoundCloud.
For those of you who missed it, it's an unreleased track that appeared more than two years ago on Jesper Mattsson's profile page (co-author with Lene of both Free and So Little Time), which though was later removed.
The file is not downloadable, but you can listen to it from any device.

]]> Sun, 20 Jan 2019 10:00:00 <![CDATA[ Øynene til mora mi ]]> video Lene dedicated to her mother on December 26 as a gift for her 65th birthday. It's a guitar-and-voice cover of Øynene til mora mi (My mother's eyes) by norwegian singer and poet Trygve Skaug.
The video shows footage taken during the recording session along with private pictures of Lene and her mother throughout the years.
Here's Lene's words:

"Happy birthday to my dear mom, who is celebrating her 65th birthday today!

I wanted to give her a different birthday present this year, so I've recorded my own version of a song called «Øynene til mora mi - My Mother's Eyes» by the Norwegian artist Trygve Skaug.

I've loved this song since the first time I heard it some time ago. And I thought this was the perfect moment to sing this song, as a tribute to my mom. So here it is; Happy birthday to the best mom ever!

Guitar: Hans Mathisen
Recorded at Whiteroom Studio by Bjørn Erik Pedersen"

We are sure her mom has loved such a gift just as we loved the video, still in the hope to hear more singing from our star. Meanwhile, three months after the re-release of Playing My Game on vinyl in Norway to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Lene's debut album, Lene will be back on TV on January 14th for the blind auditions of the fifth season of The Voice - Norges Beste stemme which took place last November. Lene will be judge and mentor for the second year in a row, after taking Thomas Løseth to the victory last year.
Good luck! ]]> Sat, 5 Jan 2019 09:38:00 <![CDATA[ So Little Time - unreleased track ]]> Jesper Mattsson here's to you a soothing unreleased track written together with Lene, like the previous one we reported about, "Free", later removed by the author. What you will hear is almost a demo with a basic rhythm in the opening and in the ending, a piano accompanying our beloved Northern Star's voice, and strings in the choruses. The song is indeed beautiful and, needless to say, to us fans it is always a thrill to listen to Lene again.

]]> Fri, 13 Jul 2018 20:48:00 <![CDATA[ Twist The Truth: the last meet and greet video! ]]>
We find ourselves saying again that many years have passed by since then but this time we want to share our memory and please you with the first video from that day! For sure a precious memory for all Lene's best fans in the world!

Lene, we miss you!

]]> Mon, 15 May 2017 18:55:00 <![CDATA[ Happy Birthday Playing My Game! ]]>

It was 1999, and I was about to turn 18. When my few true friends...

To talk about the first encounter with Playing My Game means to talk about my first encounter with Unforgivable Sinner...

18 years passed so fast... I'll never forget the day I went to Milan to meet Lene...

Happy, happy birthday to Playing My Game and her caring mom Lene! So much time has passed...

I fell in love with Lene and her songs the very first time I listened to Unforgivable Sinner!

It's been 18 years. Man, time flies! Still it feels like it's been yesterday, the first time I listened to Unforgivable Sinner on the radio.

Now that I think about it, that was a crucial year to me. Memories are still vivid, though slightly consfused.

Spring water. A gentle fresh breeze in a torrid summer day. It's what comes instinctively to my mind when I think of Lene's debut album...

"Playing My Game" is the melancholic soundtrack of my last year as teenager.

I can never really remember how I 'Got into' Lene Marlin, but I was 7 years old in 1999, and I know that...

It's so hard to sum up in a few lines what PMG has meant to me, it would mean to write down very intense and personal emotions and feelings...

To me you were just "the girl with the blue hair", because of that mysterious video always in heavy rotation on all TV music channels.

Sometimes I almost feel ashamed to tell about this, but there's a song in "Playing my game" that I've been listening to at least twice a day...

I remember it like it was yesterday, when I went to the music store to buy the Playing my game audio cassette as a birthday gift for my sister.

Thank you because this SONG is hand by hand with me for all this long time.

"I'm sitting down here, but, hey, you can’t see me"... 18 years have already passed since when those notes and those words...

Of course I remember when I heard that album for the first time: I knew only Unforgivable sinner and I was curious about that young...

These are just excerpts from our thoughts and memories. Read the full ones on Facebook and let us know your own in the comments! ]]> Wed, 3 May 2017 15:23:00 <![CDATA[ Lene on Instagram! ]]> post on Facebook Lene has announced that she has just opened an Instagram account. In the new profile, currently with 1000+ followers, Lene has already posted a picture and a short video in which she appears shining, relaxed, and full of energy.

It looks like The Voice will be a nice adventure. In the Facebook post she tells recordings have started. She cannot share much information by now, but auditions have been really good and she's thrilled for the next months.

Here's her message:

So, I'm finally on Instagram
https://www.instagram.com/lenemarlinofficial/

Just started taping "The Voice". Can't share too much, but I can say this; the people we've heard so far are really, really good! I'm so excited for the months to come!

Will let you know more when I'm allowed to ]]> Sat, 29 Apr 2017 10:16:00 <![CDATA[ Lene to be judge on The Voice (Norges beste stemme) ]]> Hver gang vi møtes, Lene Marlin will be back on television as mentor and judge in the upcoming norwegian edition of The Voice (Norges beste stemme), to be broadcast on TV2 next fall.
Lene has told that in the past years she had received invitations for this role, and this time she will be sitting in one of the four iconic red chairs to build her own team of talents and lead it through the phases of the competition:

"I like the concept very much and I can't wait to start!"

The other judges will be Yosef Wolde-Mariam, Martin Danielle and Morten Harket.

The announcement was made by TV2, and the mentors have confirmed their participation with short clips on the internet: here is Lene announcing being part of The Voice on her Facebook page. ]]> Mon, 13 Mar 2017 21:01:00 <![CDATA[ "Free" is no more available - an update ]]> We are sorry for all the fans who will not be able to listen to it anymore.
We owe you some explanation about this. We asked co-author Jesper Mattsson some information about the song. However, that brought to his attention the fact that the track he uploaded was publicly available, whereas it was not meant to be distributed: it is in fact one of the results of a collaboration between him and Lene (who was unaware of its publication) still waiting for a proper destination - that is, we shall not consider "Free" part of Lene's discography. Hence, Mr. Mattsson decided to remove the song, apologizing for the accident and asking for understanding, which we of course do. However, he was also glad to see our interest, which may encourage him to promote the song even more. So, maybe one day we'll get to hear "Free" again somewhere, and we could believe that would be somehow thanks to us too.
We heartily thank Jesper Mattsson for his availability, kindness, and honesty. ]]> Sat, 26 Nov 2016 15:48:00 <![CDATA[ Free - new song! ]]>

Our community's constant research activities on the internet have often lead to pleasant results. And which result could be more anticipated and pleasant than finding a new, previously unreleased track? Our user Pegasus found one on SoundCloud, entitled Free. It was published on May 20th 2015 (a few days before Lene Marlin's debut as speaker in Kvinner i tiden) on co-author Jesper Mattsson's page: to date, this is the fourth unreleased song by Lene, after What have I done, S'pose and Visualize, coming from the popular music-based social network, originating again from a collaboration (the sixth if we count the two songs written with and for Neeve). "Free" is a song by Lene and Jesper Mattsson, a danish musician, producer and songwriter based in London, who has worked with international artists among which our Lene: he played the bass on her second album Another Day. ]]> Wed, 23 Nov 2016 18:03:00 <![CDATA[ Another year goes by... ]]> it's been a year since our last website update and, just like last year, by looking at our homepage one may think that nothing much happened. And well, this time that seems right, at least regarding media or public events. We haven't heard about you, but we've known you for enough time to guess that even away from the spotlight you are indeed keeping up with your projects (or simply living your life). After all, our affection never depended on how many records you've published, or how much you've been on tv, or what you do in your private life: that is why we are always here. Even in the silence, strong bonds don't break, and we believe that your new silence is and will be full of personal satisfactions. Whether the next year will be quiet or not, we wish you a year filled with love and with the best life has to offer to you.
Happy birthday Lene! ]]> Wed, 17 Aug 2016 16:01:00 <![CDATA[ HAPPY BIRTHDAY LENE! ]]> by looking at our homepage one may think that in the last year nothing much happened. But it happened much, probably among the most important things in your life. You told and taught us many things that go beyond music itself, which is important indeed, no doubt it is the reason why our community came to existence and keeps going, but how important is it compared to happiness? So, we wish you a happy birthday leading to another year full of good vibrations and fulfillments.
We always wish nothing but the best for you, that whatever you do makes you feel good and proud of yourself even more than we are.
Even though it's been a long time since we last met here in Italy and we miss you, we always follow and support you.

Happy birthday Lene! ]]> Mon, 17 Aug 2015 15:29:00 <![CDATA[ Lene Marlin - a woman in time ]]> Kvinner i tiden" (women in time): motivational talks will be given by known women (and men) from Norway sharing their experiences about topics such as job satisfaction and cooperation. The events will take place in Oslo on May 29th, in Tromsø on June 5th, and in Bergen on June 12th.

Lene's speech will be roughly the same in all three dates, it will last about 45-60 mins, and it will focus on her story and all that came after the chronicle published last September on Aftenposten, in which Lene confessed that she had tried to take her own life in the early years of her career after her international breakthrough:

Lene Marlin - Living life as you want
- From the outside everything seemed perfect
- Getting lost in other people's expectations
- Not wanting to live anymore - and back
- Being aware of the right choices to find your happiness

After talking of her story publicly, Lene was praised for her courage and openness by almost everyone, from common people to professionals and politicians. The strength of her story was so touching that she received several awards in the weeks following the publication of the chronicle. Last October she was awarded the Åpenhetsprisen 2014 (Openness award 2014), for openness about mental health issues. In November she received the "Role model of the year" award from the Se og Hør magazine, and in December she was awarded again as "Role model of the year" by the KK magazine. Finally, last March Lene received the Fredrikke Award, The Norwegian Women's Public Health Association's Honorary Award.

Such a wide appreciation is indeed a recognition of the importance of Lene Marlin's testimony: by being open about suicide, not only she brought attention to it, but she brought hope to people who are struggling, encouraging them to seek help and not to give up. Such an intense response means also that in the end all the tears, the pain, the suffering from those dark times were not just a waste, that all the worst one can experience can be turned into something positive, into new possibilities for oneself and for the others too. This is what Lene Marlin has been doing in the last months, and for that she has our utmost admiration: even though we are speaking from the "fans' corner" represented by the community of lene.it, even though we have always avoided commenting on anything that did not strictly deal with Lene's music, this time we want to praise not only the musician Lene Marlin, but also the courageous and generous woman who is helping making some people's life better with her words and her story.

And now, after many interviews, congratulation calls, Facebook messages, and awards, Lene is about to face an audience in an intense unprecedented event: in "Kvinner i tiden" Lene is getting back on a stage to give to an audience a piece of herself, though this time it's not through songs, but through honest, powerful words. And that piece of herself contains also a piece of advice, and a piece of hope for all those who are struggling. We believe that even though recalling the difficult times will be painful, the good vibrations that Lene will receive will overcompensate the tough moments.

Congratulations Lene, from all your proud fans! ]]> Thu, 28 May 2015 17:32:00 <![CDATA[ "I can tell about the times you know when I wished to leave this world" ]]>
Lene does know this well, and not only because of the recurrency of such topics in her songs. Unexpectedly, in an open-hearted and courageous chronicle published on Aftenposten on Monday 1st September and translated by Lene herself on her Facebook page, Lene unveils for good the most terrible experience she went through during the years of silence after her breakthrough. Lene did not want to live anymore. Lene actually tried to take her own life.

If today she opens up about this (and thankfully she's here to do it) it's because those moments, even despite the echoes and the scars within, belong to her past now, and Lene hopes her story can help other people.

As fans, we're sitting here right now with our heads full of thoughts. Lene has spoken several times so far about the difficult years following her breakthrough, and that is something everyone of us has made up their mind about somehow. Though, it's just a shocking nonsense that while her music has always been a comfort, a heal, and often even more (yes) to all of us, all that came along with it had become such an unbearable burden to her that she found death preferable. That in the end, part of the reason for that ultimate choice was "us" who wanted to give her success, the excitement and the happiness during meet-and-greets, all that "forced" her (clearly due also to economic interests of who had everything to gain from that) to live that life she just couldn't change even though she knew she should have, as she states in the article.

Lene's words today are filled with hope and positivity, they're not scary now. Still, indeed it feels like a punch in the stomach to listen from her own voice what she's actually been through. As true and loyal supporters, the suffering of someone we've always loved respectfully and patiently (who is first of all a person just like us) is not even the last thing we want, it is something we just don't want at all. Many times we've been so grateful to her for what she is: well, today we couldn't be more, because of the example this little great lady, vulnerable and strong at the same time, is giving us with her story. Here is her massage, with the hope it can be of help to anyone who may need it.

Dear all!
I've been thinking about this for a very long time. And now I've finally done it, the story is out there. I hope it can be of some help to you or someone you love! It can be scary to make yourself vulnerable, to let go of your disguise. But honestly, it feels more good than scary!
I've had some really dark times in my life. But luckily I've made some changes. And I'm so happy that I did!

I know quite a few of you don't speak Norwegian, so I got the article translated into English so you can read it too. Read the translation below.

:) Lene

I didn't want to live any longer

Everything seemed perfect from the outside. That just made it worse, Lene Marlin writes.

I had decided that I would never speak of this publicly. Not because I am ashamed. I am not. But because I just wanted to be done with it all. As the years have passed I've come to realize that I will never be completely done with it. It is a part of who I am. I live with it each and every day and will carry it with me for the rest of my life. So I might as well say it out loud:
I tried to end my own life.
I couldn't handle the pressure.

It's strange, isn't it, how you can go from living life for yourself, to suddenly realizing you are living it for everyone else; their expectations and their dreams. How easily one is lost in the demands of others. How easily one takes to living other people's lives. Now I see it all the time, kids struggling. Even older people; imagine still feeling the pressure after all those years. What kind of hope is left us then?

A different kind of pressure
I wish I could tell you that the pressure lets off, as you grow older. The one thing I can say is that it changes. You simply have more choices. I decided that I was the only one that could make myself happy. This process included making some choices that seemed very strange to people close to me, but I have no regrets. Because even while living this hectic dream-life I knew I had to put a stop to it.

I let it go too far
Because I at that time lacked both the strength and the ability to listen to myself instead of others, years passed before I was fully healed. This is my only regret. It has, however, made me live my life in a different way. For better or for worse, I discovered at an early age how I didn't want to live my life, and that is something for which I am thankful. Others take much longer to see this and might end up never having lived the life they really want.

Went home during recess
I still have bad dreams about high school; that they call me up telling me I need to come back, do it all over again. I felt like I didn't fit in. Like I was weird and different from everyone else. Every time we had free time, even in the middle of the day, I would go home: Play the guitar for as long as I could and run back when I had to. That's where I found the strength I needed. I kept thinking that if I just got through those three years everything would be all right. And it was. Sometimes you just have to hold on for a little while longer.

Sometime during my twenties I found myself lying on a cold kitchen floor weak from crying my eyes out. I don't know how many hours had passed, but I found one can actually run out of tears. That your body can only take so much. I was completely worn out; but I had come to peace with the fact that this was to be my last night. I felt surprisingly cold and detached as I wrote notes to people I cared about. I did really want to end my life that night. When my eyes closed I felt at peace. I awoke several hours later, confused and in terrible pain. Ironically I didn't have the strength to try again; I was too weak to even die.

The importance of being heard
Not being heard is painful. It can take a good while to finally say the words that are needed, but when you do, it is important that those around really listen and take you seriously. Failing that, it is so much easier to just crawl back into your shell, sure that your heavy thoughts are yours to live with alone. That kind of loneliness is the worst.

End it all? You? You've lived everyone's biggest dream. You travel the world; you make lots of money, win awards, what can possibly be bothering you? They told me I was ungrateful. The incredible pressure, the expectations, I just couldn't take it anymore.

The pain you know
One time I ended up in the ER and was told I had been very lucky. I didn't feel lucky. I had wanted to die, yet there I was. That night I found myself in the back of a dismal room listening to a girl on the other side of a curtain. She was talking about why she did it, and I remember her talking about the boy who had left her and how she had thought it would be them forever and now she didn't have a reason to live. Or something like that; I was drifting in and out of sleep and can recall only fragments. No boy had put me in that bed, but I recognized the pain in her voice as my own.

We are who we become. Sometimes the road ahead is long and hard, especially when you are in your teens, when everything hurts and it is hard to believe it will ever end. You just don't believe it will! I see it myself today with people I know who are struggling. It is hard just trying to get them to believe that life does get better. In those instances I use my own experiences; I can tell them that I know what it's like to feel so tired and small that there seems to be no hope left. When they imagine that as they are sitting across from who I am today, that's when I see that they understand what I am saying.

Hang in there!
You can't change the past, but you can change how you live with it. I sometimes get flashbacks of what's gone before. Often times I have forgotten all about it, so when the images appear it can be a lot to take in. My whole body reacts, as if it remembers what my mind has forgotten. That's when I panic, I feel trapped and out of breath and need some time before I can tell myself that it's all behind me. Once that happens my body settles down, but it's a terrible feeling while it's going on.

There is so much more contained in a tear than one might imagine. I have been seen crying on TV, which was something I never planned to do, it happened when songs and conversations took me back there. That experience was both painful and good at the same time because what I felt the most was the feeling of having weathered it and come through on the other side. A heavy thought for someone who didn't expect to live past 30.
Those tears don't make me feel ashamed, I know I should have cried them a long time ago.
So if you're not in a good place when you're reading this and can't imagine life getting any better, please hang on for just a little longer and hear this; it will all be worth it!

Lene will appear on the TV show Senkveld on Friday 5th September at 22:15. ]]> Tue, 2 Sep 2014 23:46:00 <![CDATA[ Birthday cakes ]]>
Time goes by and your voice is with us and in our hearts every day, especially on your birthday. We're always happy to wish you the best because to celebrate you is to remind us how much you've been giving us these years, and how much we are proud of you!
Let it be no coincidence that our birthday comes just a couple of days away from yours. Tomorrow, in fact, there will be one more candle on Lene.it's birthday cake... another milestone in the story of this fanclub.

Lene, we're waiting for you to breach into our hearts again!

P.S. Yeah, sorry for being "unforgivably" late with this news. Summer and vacations make us a little less reactive, though we're always here :)

]]> Mon, 18 Aug 2014 22:17:00 <![CDATA[ Sad moments ]]> farewell message on her Facebook page, stressing that Johansen never tried to change her when others wanted her to be what she was not. "The most important thing for us and Lene is that everything now ought to be pleasurable", said Johansen in 2003 in an interview to Aftenposten right after Lene's long-awaited comeback, a few days before her first performance ever, at the Oslo City. A mature and respectful attitude that we feel close to, and that we like to emphasize.

Sadly bad things, just like good things, often don't come alone. Our heartfelt condolences go to Lene for the loss of a dear friend of her, journalist and author Anbjørg Sætre Håtun: yesterday Lene wrote to her a touching open letter on Facebook. It's always sad when someone leaves us, indeed it's unconceivable and unfair when that someone still has so many dreams, and would deserve a whole life to make them come true.

Our deepest sympathy to Anbjørg's and Per Eirik's families, and to all who carry them in their heart.

Let us conclude this message quoting a thought Anbjørg herself shared on instagram a few months ago: "Start each day like it's your birthday". We feel it can help us think, and realize how precious life is. ]]> Wed, 22 Jan 2014 21:49:00 <![CDATA[ Neeve ]]> Neeve is an Irish singer and actress living in London; she has released Still around and Circus boy.
As reported in the credits, Lene Marlin and Niamh Perry (also known as Neeve) have written the songs, which are produced by Nick L. Webber (son of legendary composer Andrew Lloyd Webber) and Matt Weir. Pete Wallace (who has collaborated with Pink, Backstreet Boys, Jessica Simpson) is also a producer for Still Around.

Thanks gio and Knox for this piece of news!

Neeve- Still Around (live acoustic) ]]> Tue, 24 Sep 2013 20:45:00 <![CDATA[ "Surround me with your friendly faces" ]]> "Faces" and truly reflect the spirit of the fanclub today, thirteen years after its foundation on 19th August 2000. Common passion and time spent together, both in meetings with Lene and gatherings, gave us the opportunity to make special friends and create a great family.

This fanclub grew thanks to fans, and we believe it will keep growing with a little help from everybody. Our official channels, the Forum and the Facebook page, are always open to thoughts and contributes, especially in these days of Lene-celebration. The most beautiful present so far was by Lene herself, who wrote on her Facebook page replying to the birthday wishes:

Dear all! Thank you so much for your birthday wishes!!! I really appreciate it!!! 33! Another year gone by… Is it just me or does time go faster as we get older? :) Ha ha, feels like it! Getting older really doesn't bother me. I don't know why, but I like it. Perhaps that will change and a year from now I'll be crying my eyes out :) So I found this photo of me the other day. From a time when a year felt like forever! You know it's cold outside when your parents add a Santa hat to the hat you're already wearing Then again, I was 2 years old, so I probably had strong opinions about what to wear!

And here's the picture, together with the photo she took at the presentation of her album "Twist The Truth" in Milan (15 May 2009)... a tribute to all of her fans!!!

To thank you for what you've given us will never be enough and this year we want to do it in a different way: sometimes a video may tell more then a thousand words.

Bern 2006, Switzerland. A night full of laughs together, unforgettable for its simplicity, an exciting chat with lots of photographs to review the milestones of a link built with patience and passion! Thank you for the memories and for what you will give to your followers, always more and more fascinated by your talent and your art.

A thank you to the founders of YouTube channel "Lene.it TV", on which we can see the full meeting. Don't forget that in our "Experiences" section you'll find pictures and stories from our meetings with Lene.

A catchy song, maybe a little more uptempo than the usual Lene tune, but with english lyrics where the touch of Lene is unmistakable. From a tweet by @CobnashStudio we learn that the song was written by Lene for someone else, though at this moment we don't know who the lucky artist is! ]]> Thu, 4 Jul 2013 20:47:00
