all round this is a very fine piece of work. mastering is great and subtle, video narrative style is spot on and the way its totally free from any particular genre i can think of makes it a totally original slice of brilliance.

Thatās a selection of incredibly kind words, mate! Thanks so much. You know, when something is just making sense in your own head, and then youāre putting it out there, having no idea if itāll be welcomed or anything. And then you get such incredible nice comments like theseā¦ itās truly heart warming. So thank you once again.
And thanks everyone!

Thanks! The bridge is at Oslo Central Station, leading towards the new posh architecture area called the Barcode district. Close to the Opera.

Dammit, @cuckoomusic! I thought with one take I was going to get a happy ending! But instead itās like youāre a ghost of her former lover= even more heartbreaking! 
Cool videos, though!

Is there a true story lurking somewhere here? Thereās a bittersweet beauty to the entire piece.

Thanksā¦ Thereās always truth lurking behind lyrics. āInspired by real feelingsā ā¦ Been moulded into a piece on its own, separate to the truth now. When Iām writing lyrics (Iām not a lyrical master or anything) itās most of the time a composite of a collection of emotional traces, sharing the same theme, often trailing back to long gone episodes in life. Rather than actually just one thing.
This particular story is like a collection of feelings related to āmutual love interests that never got the chance to evolveā, and how one side seemingly moves on, and the other side canāt let goā¦ But then again, perhaps neither side can truly let go, or itās just a one-sided emotional projection of a nut case.
I once asked a friend of mine about his lyrics. Heās kinda big in Sweden, and a master of bitter sweet song lyrics, especially in Swedish (Markus KrunegĆ„rd). I asked him if his stories were all true, because when listening to them they seem so incredibly personal. And he told me that even though most of the lyrics start out with true stories, he is directing the lyrics as he sees fit, (this is where his song writing artistry comes into play) in order to make it a powerful song lyric.
I guess often to describe an emotional dual edged mediocre seed of inner sense of doubt, regrets and insanity, truth alone isnāt strong enough.

Really interesting. I got this feeling, at the end of the first video, that it wasnāt obvious who actually missed who. Cause while youāre left alone on the bench at the end, the womanās final shot is still one where she looks at, and smiles at you, and I had this idea that she was thinking you were there, and missing you cause you werenāt. And you were in your version of that space. And the fact that itās not clear, makes it so great.
So what I really liked about it, was that it wasnāt one of those classic āI miss youā, but more that youāre both missing each other, in your own space, and youāre not entirely aware - but we, as an audience are, and thatās what makes the bittersweet.

^-Concurred! I thought that too, with the original video! The fact that it comes off as more than one sided is where the trickery at the end feels all the more saddening.
i think the world needs a tribal techno remix of it, Cuckoo.
Thank you so much! Iām glad this came through. I think this part is the most difficult, and the most important in storytelling. To create an entity that becomes its own emotional being, with a complexity that makes it real, and not a total stereotype.[quote=āvaaiber, post:36, topic:43783, full:trueā]
