My mom died when I was 8 and as I wanted to die but didn't know how to do It I decided to stop eating. Passed out on stage during a school play 2 months after turning 9 and got rushed to the ER. The average 9 year old weights around 35kg, I was 21kg. The doctors told my grandparents to plan my funeral since I was in a comma. Had two feeding tubes one up my nose and other one on the side of my stomach. Was diagnosed with anorexia and extreme depression after losing my favorite person. Any ED tratment center wanted to admit me since I was so young. I thought I was going to die. I'm 18 now and have permanent kidney and liver damage I need a feeding tube almost all the time but I'm doing so much better, I feel better and just started collegue so yes there is hope
God bless you love, your mom is always with you, she is your angel! Keep swimming!♥️
The first time I saw the name, I googled who Lene was. Because I didn't found a wikipedia article for a person who definitely should have one, I wrote a short one about her (German Wikipedia). A few days later I saw that the community had edited my outline into a way more detailed article. That's for you, Lene.
WOW, You have helped the world get to know Lene's story. Just like Susanne. Thank you SO much! Danke schon mein freund!☮️🕊️♥️ From 🇨🇦
You're not only honoring Lene, but everyone who struggles with an eating disorder. Too often they are tragically misunderstood. Too often I hear people think it must be because we think we're fat or something like that, when the roots are so varied and they can be deeply tragic and existential. I hear this music and see these images, and I feel my eating disorder reflected, but more so in a way that I feel seen. Thank you, Susanne.
Cried like a child
I recently lost the love of my life to a senseless hit and run, and this resonates with my pain so much.
That is awful. I am sorry for you loss. 🌷
I'm so very sorry to hear that.
Anyone else notice that Susanne is sitting by Lenes bed, holding her hand at a hospital visit? It's at 2:58.
Becoming an adult can be very traumatic for some kids. It is a time they almost lose their identity, like the transition from cocoon to butterfly. Body, mind and soul changes so much.
She held onto her identity through her camera but the illness had a tight grip.
Rip little butterfly
😭😭
Lene Marie Fossen (1986-2019) 🕊️
This is probably one of the saddest and at the same time brightest song I’ve ever heard
Susanne needs to be recoginized by the world, she deserves to be well known. They don't know what they're missing, this truly piece of art.
Her writing, composing, editing, key choices, mid song fluctuatuions, she is fckin divine, and undoubtedly one of the most precise masterful emotion conveying voices of the century that mashed together with her razor sharp lyrics that have something everyone can relate to, when listening to her songs all i can imagine is birds in snowy skies with sun beams peaking from cloud to cloud. She deserves nore
I am suspicious of her and her subject in this video, I am going to share my concerns with international policing not UK for a start, as she or he is familiar certainly those photographing the subject in the gallery. If it is as they say she is now dead that will have to be investigated as the subject is known to me as are others in the line up mummy too
@@YAYFUL1 wow youre insane
@@YAYFUL1 And how is the investigation going? Lol
The last mother's scream ... Then you all left. Into your child's nightmare. Forever gone ..like lene. For 10photos.
Susanne has truly found herself as an artist. The phrasing and control of her voice is at its peak. The arrangements are powerful and smart. Haunting lyrics. When I imagine an angel’s voice all I hear is Susanne.
The most beautiful voice in the world! Can't get closer to perfect vocals. So beautiful.
To me it's a hybrid of an angel and demon I guess. It's kinda terrifying but you'd still want to listen to it. It's surreal.
Also hear Enya and Dolores Riordan
Se você é BR, senti um orgulho da terrinha agora. ♥
She is so talented. It's extraordinary.
Susanne's perfect as always. And the story is heartbreaking.
As a grown man I have not cried for ages. But half way thru this powerfull song, i found my self crying my eyes out..
This has to be one of Susanne best production yet, and she sure have her golden Archives.
Exellent story with the frames, to be told with her Lyrics and crystal clear pitch Voice!.
And my God! For how long did she hold that Amazingly Complex tone at 01:00minute!!??
RIP Lene🧡
Let me go back
To when I was young
Here, I was born
Here, I will die lonesome
Let there be light
Let there be love
Hear the bells
Ringin' our song
Wake me, wake me, wake me up, my darling
When the Lord has descended on us
All the worries that you carried with you
They are lost in a warm embrace
Timelessness
Far away
From the land
Where love is shame
And shame is love of a prison
Away from the dark
Snow-covered hearts
Softly, lay your hands on me
Wake me, wake me, wake me up, my darling
When the Lord has descended on us
All the worries that you carried with you
They are lost in a warm embrace
Timelessness
I always asked myself, I still do, today too. Why doesn't Sundfør get the acknowledge that she truly deserve. This is a masterpiece of all 3 criterias - melody - lyrics - message/delivery. Still she cannot even reach 1 million viewers on it.
Something is wrong. (with this world.)
nothing to add here. criminally underrated. it's a pity
@@soleywolfgangsdottir I just hope she knows that she deserve better. I know it is not much winnings in being bitter..
@@grandiosa86 recently she made a social media post on instagram and it seems that she has no idea how many people outside of norway love and adore her music. still not enough people, though. for me, she is absolut top league.
Listening once again to this with tears running down my face. The most beautiful song I've ever heard in my 62 years. Powerful sweet sadness.
I was just thinking about what I wrote about this song and I must have been in one of those head spaces only few will ever understand as I'm only 46 years young I don't need to add years onto myself or maybe because I've tried to enjoy life a little bit too much I probably feel that age. I'm not a stupid person and I'm reasonably intelligent although I left school at 16 with all u's but managed to travel the world working and travelling is the best way to learn what matters been lucky to meet so many people from Africa to India and dubai to Azerbaijan and many more places and I learned a fact that everyone should have the chance to learn and its that every race, religion, colour and creed and we all just want to be able to live happily and in peace and we are all the exact same people inside if only people could look past their own preconceptions that are fed to us all I guarantee the world would be so much better off than the way things are today. Every countries people have their own amazing qualities and some of the nicest people I've met on my travels are from the middle east but we all should be making each other better people than we are right now as we all have the same ideas and issues that should combined would make the world united instead of divided, but that's only my feelings and nobody will probably ever read this as much as I would love people to. Peace and love and respect for all its not rocket science folks.
@@andrewwylie6703 I read it brother, god bless you, life is a maze, and you arr getting there, to the real meaning...
Susanne Sundfør is one of the few real artist
There are many real artists just like in the past. It's also much easier for not-so real artists to exist recently.
I just cried and cried.
I just discovered this. I am crying.
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♥️
I'm completely blown away by the beauty of this song. I'm a big tattooed, shaved headed straight guy but I'm crying buckets here! What an artist.
Boys don’t cry, men do ❤
Found this in my recommendation list and something told me I needed to click on it. Wow, I wasn’t prepared for the waves of emotion that would crash over me, engulfing me in tears. I wept within the first minute. What a sublime portrait of a woman, thank the lord that her story lives on, and her fantastic pictures. Her self portraits are so haunting, so exquisite and overflowing with emotional intent. Susanne’s song perfectly encapsulates the meaning of the source material.
probably the most talented artist of the actual generation
Not only she, AURORA, Tash Sultana and i hope more other artists!
@@michaljon1963 the list goes on and on to perhaps even dozens with beautiful voices
It's so heartbreaking. She was a very talented photographer. Susanne's music and voice fit very well to the documentary.
I’m utterly unable to find the right word to describe this feeling.
*sacred capture.*
Terbaik memang👍
Barbarian Poét:
Lostalgic Masterpiece of Humanity and a Hymn for interesst in Peace ...😢 ...more than this
Thanks for all People Here to life in the Same Time ...before and also after 😢
WE living ...
Let us do the best for the World 😢❤
🕊️ Stop Wars
Fromm all Sides in the Same Time
.....if there is a straight way to the human's soul, then Susanne really helps us to find it.... many thanks.
And I do not think someone could have done better to make us reach the absolute purety of Lene Marie Fossen....
Many thanks again Susanne....❤💋
when words are created to respond to this, I will.
Lena, you will always be in my heart. They say that when we remember those who have passed on, they never leave us. To those who have crossed over, you remain in our hearts. ❤
There is apparently no religion in music and yet this track contains God.
Simply Beautiful
Thank You
Hauntingly beautiful....may she rest in peace
I don't know why this makes me cry every time I listen
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
I love how she dedicates herself to being a photograph she is really good, shows how you can still live and do things you love even with and ed or any mental illness. Truly inspiring.
@@Katethebush00 Agree , she was a fantastic story teller til the end. Much respect to her.
@eaglerising82
In a way, you are right.
In another way, you are wrong, in a few ways ...
*you'll never know what it means because it was her unique property.*
Rip :(
I am 49 years old and agonised over watching this deeply moving video. Rest in peace Line Marie Fossen. Your artwork was powerful, and astonishing. What a moving piece.
Боже, как прекрасно❤! Где поют ангелы эти, когда они нашептывают тебе? Почему они поют только с тобой?...
Everyone has their own struggles. Don't judge other people. Love yourself and those around you. A beautiful song with powerful imagery.
Id love to love other ppl around me(family), but sometimes they could be a pain in the azz😞......but still doing my best to love 'em🥀✨
At least you didn’t mention fucking Jesus or God…
I honestly didn't know who Lene was so I've just watched an English language interview she gave on TEDx Talks in 2017. I can now understand why Susanne liked her and would want to compose the documentary's soundtrack.
Me 4 minutes and 11 seconds ago: I'm looking forward to seeing this.
Me now: Destroyed 😭😭😭
R.I.P Lene, you beautiful soul 💗💗💗
You have met an angel. Not many can say that Susanne.
Susanne & Aurora...I dont know why, but they like have their own Magic✨, captivate and touch ppl's Heart...somehow They r just Magical✨...r most of Norwegian Artists like them,...Magical like them 🥀✨
God's Annointed!!!!Voice of an angel!!Jesus is the way the truth and the life!!!!☺💞
I have no belief for gods or angels, but you make me question myself, Susanne. Rest well, Lene.
i had noe belief in god either until i tried DMT. i still don't believe the god mentioned in the bible or other religions but i believe that there's some creator to this universe.
@@SaggyMarley if this creator needs drugs to be seen or felt or whatever then that's definitely an interesting way of communication :)
our atoms are recycled into another universe and thus she is alive somewhere else, fulfilling a new destiny, in another universe. far from where we exist.
God/Universe/Consciousness is the only thing that exists. You are merely a fragment of God disguised under the illusion of ego and separation.
@@steventan2754 The feeling is there, all the time. Everywhere. All. The. Time. It's all about where you focus your attention. We're just so caught up in all the money and drama.. :) I was a non - believer myself.
So beautiful talent, and it lost...is a really sadly disease the anorexia, thanks for compose this song and showing us the Lene 's history. I don't know her before today....Another voice was gone...
I'm so glad I've witnessed this. Thanks for bringing her story with your beautiful music. May she rest in peace
Sen var ya adamsın.
Her zaman mükemmel bir ruh olduğunu kanıtlıyor
Oha burada Türkler varmış şaşırdım yalnızım sanıyordum
@@sudenurodabasi Kanka ben de beş yıldır falan konserine gidemediğim için deli gibi ağladığımı hatırlıyorum :'(((
Не могу смотреть это видео без слёз, каждый раз плачу…
I listen to this song every day now. If I fail to find God in the world, I can at least find God in Susanne's voice.
Her voice will forever be one of those closest to my heart.
I think I experience God when I feel love/compassion for another person
I've never been a shallow person. I suffered anorexia myself and got through it by some miracle. Lene Marie made me see beauty in a way I had never seen it before. She was a magnificent photographer and it's such a shame that she is gone. I read a quote somewhere that said, 'the greatest artists are often tormented souls'. Her work touches me every time I see it and I seek it regularly because it's so amazing.
Thank you for these words.. Thank you
Stunningly beautiful. Susanne is a Norwegian treasure. This documentary brought me to tears. Lene Marie was an immense talent. Rest in peace.
Sugárzik az empátia. Nagyszerű. Köszönet hogy lehetnek ilyen zenék.
I’m still listening!!!!
Let there be love
This is incredible.
She (Lene) was blessed now. Of course she’s listening to this beautiful song in heaven. Rest In Peace.
Gabriel Canto your handsome
Wow what an incredible voice and homage to Lena Marie Fossen RIP 🙏🏽
Emotiva canción, bella historia que me ha hecho llorar.
I'd choose this one as my end credits song.
Everyone has their peace! Everyone has their trauma! Always hope for a good day. X
I don't know the story, but this piece of art expresses it perfectly. Masterpiece.
Thank you so much Susanne for sharing this beautiful song with all of us, I feel so peaceful after hearing it, your voice and music are such a warm embrace to my soul.
Lene Maries frames are like Caravaggio's chiaroscuro painting technique. Utterly timeless and heart wrenchingly beautiful. I adore her work. It will live on forever xx
Beatiful girl, you suffer so much, and now you have gone, but you will always be with us.Love you, you where so good,Wonderful with People,kind, all the world needs today.❤❤❤🌹🇧🇻👴👵
I'll be honest. It was recommended that I watch this. I have no idea what I just saw and heard. Touched by this? Very much so. I'm going to take a break and look at it again a little later.
Susanne Sundfør is my favourite Norwegian musician. There's Aurora, Sigrid and Girl in Red who are all good, but Susanne is older, wiser and none can match her songs' soulfulness.
This song really has a strong message, thanks for being you Susanne 🖤
I think that perhaps Lene was always an angel...and she's just gone home.
Lene Marie Fossen. One really wonderful photographer and sweet, strong soul. I hope you are at peace finally. What a tribute!
And when you look into her eyes you ser how tired she is and still shes not giving up. Hope you rest in peace with our God ♥️
She has Angel' s Eyes , and has because to me, she s immortal. I could feel her into nature, whatever, she will be in a part of my mind...
Dear God!
Lene has been in my blood since I discovered her. The documentary, this song, her art. Et al. It’s amazing to me that she struggled with time itself. Linear time. Movement. She chose to photograph children and the elderly. Both are eventualities for humans, in general. Yet Lene Marie could not tether herself to either phase of life. She could not go back in time to childhood, nor could she reach old age. I could gauge from her documentary, and Ted Talk, that she, like many others who suffer from anorexia, that there is a heightened need and desire for perfection within the self. I don’t think she had high emotional or social quotient levels needed to move past her own errors and losses. Natural parts of life. Instead she tried to remain standing still. There is an exorbitant amount of pressure that she put on herself, which is entirely evident in what she revealed about herself. The physical world is better because she was in it. I can feel you around me, Lene Marie, and I am loving you. Always. 💚
This song is for ALL that struggles please use your local assistance, and try to find hope and sollutions,is out there!!! give it a go .
This song is hauntingly beautiful on its own, but with the video, I was struggling to keep it together. Susanne is the perfect choice as the soundtrack for this documentary, her music always brings me to tears.
This is the most stunning art on the internet. Change my mind
Wowww what a voice gourgeous
I was unprepared for the onslaught of powerful emotion. Susanne's perfection of voice and Lene's story and photographs are overwhelming. So beautiful, so sad, so real, and so ultimately human. Brava to them both, and peace to Lene. Superb.
She was a brilliant artist. Rip 💐
She dies? :/
No wtf
@@rachelpinheiro2593 She sings about the artist with anorexia, and yes, she died.
@@ivipovi666 she's not dead no
@@eirikenersen8169 Susanne is not dead, but the girl in the video is. She was an art photographer.
she is a goddess. what an amazing singer songwriter. gratitude from sydney australia.
Did I just found the most beautiful song in the world? This is not even a song... This is spiritual awakening.
I showed this video to my mum
and she told me that when she was 18 she weighed 56kg because she was exercising all day everyday and barely eating and was on the verge of being anorexic. I did honestly have a thought that she had been because she hinted something to it once before a few years ago. But it's the first time she's ever actually told me (I'm 23 now). My grandma got her out of it before it could go further. I'm so glad that she was there for her.
I wish Lene Marie Fossen had lived. Her pieces are so beautiful and make you feel something that you don't know how to describe. This song is the perfect representation for it. Breath-taking.
Боже, это так прекрасно и разрывает сердце. Я плачу, у меня катарсис.
Susanne Sundfor is an artist for the history books. Not only the talent to write such a piece, but to be so cultured as to work with (and expose to me) such a brilliant artist in Lena. I may be biased, though, as besides being Greek myself and Lena working in Greece, in Lena I see my sister who passed of chronic illness as well. It’s strange that art about “human suffering” as Lena puts it seems to be the most fulfilling. While I can’t handle this without crying, I am thankful I have this to listen to every now and again.
As someone whose mother has suffered with anorexia/bulimia for the better part of thirty years, this song means a lot.
Wow, I’m crying. Such a gorgeous memorial song to this amazing photographer.
This melody line is gorgeous
I think it is the very first song in a long time that has literally broken me every time I hear it. I don't really have many words to describe what this particular song provoques inside of me. I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart...
superbe hommage à cette sublime photographe....
This is a remarkable video. But even without the images and lyrics, the beautiful sound of the music is one of the things that makes life worth living.
This is the most powerful song I heard in some time.All of this, the video, the story, the song.This is it.
So emotional & even more heartbreaking when you understand the backstory. May that talented girl rest in peace
This is pure emotion, pure art... It made me cry and think about what I've built in my life so far.
Congratulations, I can't even imagine how mentally hard it was to produce this song and video. It's unique and necessary. Thank you!

I wonder what people who downvote this spend the rest of the day hating.
You should take comfort in knowing that UA-cam intentionally shows incorrect statistics to hide how the trending algorithm works. They want to prevent people from selling votes/trending services like they do on other SoMe platforms. For that reason there will always be some downvotes on a video with several thousands of views. They're not necessarily based on people's votes. In fact, with ~500 000 views and 10 000 upvotes, 147 downvotes is very little.
I wish that she had lived.
Yeah, she has BEAUTIFUL soul but sadly destroyed like mine...😔 She had this disorder, i have dysthymia for decades...we all suffer somehow...and that's what this is about..
No, let’s wish that she found peace.
@@mperegrini oh, that sounds so good! Which doctor does so and isnt it forbidden? 😳 I really do seek for so long for a cure for this disease and still searching...i thought i got better because i did therapy against addiction and now i am clean for over 8 month now but it is even harder now, i stopped taking anti depressiva 2 month ago...fighting every day now..i was going to try the book by Joe Dispenza...so you think psylocibin helps against Dysthimia? Many greetings, Alex 🙂
@@mperegrini hi , you can write me Email if you want to: alexander.schfer@ymail.com Greetings, Alex 🙂
this is a masterpiece. I have no words. pain and beauty. life. thank you Lene and Susanne
dette er et mesterverk. jeg er faktisk målløs. smerte og skjønnhet. livet. takk Lene og Susanne
Made me cry. Beatyfull.❤️
Good god what a voice..
I've watched this video over and over and over and each time it makes me sob. Lene was so beautiful and she captured the torment of her mental health perfectly in her breathtaking photography, but couple with Susanne's music, the whole thing is a work of almost other worldly exquisiteness.
There's so much Love in Susanne's musical artwork. My soul gets it deeply, as always. Thank you Susanne, for giving your beautiful magical self, through your art, and mirror your sensitivity to our people. Earth really needs this.
i find myself for the first time ever......speechless.
Fantastic photos used in this video!
Absolutely beautiful song and voice.
🌷 I love you, Susanne 🌷
❤️ You're an amazing artist ❤️
Words fail me with this! 😢
That was so moving. Incredible.
