This song was released in Norway in October of 1998, and I believe a year later in the UK/Europe.
The song has always been very special to me, there's just something about it I absolutely love. Although Lene has the voice as soft and sweet as an angel, the song always felt very dark and mysterious to me.
Just like it's video. I know there are three official videos for the song, for the Norwegian release and for the European release. I don't know which one was released in which country, but I would like to discuss this one.
Lene has always been quite mysterious about the meaning of the song and it's video(s). She never wants to talk about the meaning of story behind it. The 3rd version of the video (the one posted above) has always touched me the most, but I can't quite understand why. The storyline of the video isn't quite clear. The images are very beautiful though, especially of the girl (angel) with the balloon.
Could the song be about suicide (the biggest sin in the bible, right?). Or could it be about Lene herself, that she has sinned? Obviously we don't know, but it has always bothered me.
What do you guys think of the song, it's videos and mystery?
