Heartbreaking watching her mum with the rose in the gallery watching her daughter dying in front of her eyes 💔

The lady sitting by Lene's bed holding her hand is Susanne ! She cares!

I have tried so many times to watch this video without crying but it is impossible. The music and video together..it is so painstakingly beautiful it rips my heart out. By the way at the end of the video where Lene is hospitalised the girl sitting beside the bed holding her hand is Susanne Sundfør.

Susanne Sundfør is a Norwegian gem and her voice adds a lot to the images we see in the video. It is raw, real and captivating. I guess many reactors would avoid this kind of videos, so I appreciate that you did this reaction with true empathy and understanding. It gives diversity to your channel - and shows that music and images kan be a powerful mix to reach out with important messages. Thank you!

The song itself was beautiful. The video really hit home.

She certainly had an eye for a photograph - those are outstanding. It's so hard when somebody has a psychological disorder like this: the very tool that you use to fix problems, your mind, is the very thing that's stuck going round and round in a destructive spiral that it can't get out of. From the outside, you can't help feeling that if you only say the right thing, make the right argument, then they'll snap out of it, but it rarely works like that, at least as far as I've seen.

Tragic, indeed - G

Thank you for the reaction and your thoughts. 😢 On a lighter note: Susanne Sundfør - who has won 5 equivalents of the Grammy - is a truly wonderful singer/songwriter. I strongly recommend for instance “Undercover” (the live black and white version).

Thanks for crying with me guys. I love that song and I've never listen to it other than by myself. It touches me very deeply. Love you wherever you are. Greetings from Costa Rica. Peace.

One of the most beautiful song in this world. A lovely Tribute.

This particular video is something not everyone should react to. I'm glad you did, it was a lovely, heartfelt, careful and wonderfully empathic reaction. So glad for your advise before the video, I really hoped you would. Thank you. The portraits of the young and elderly persons were shot at the Greek island Chios as thousands of refugees fled to Europe from Syria and other countries. Chios was Lene's favorite island. Susanne Sundfør is worth checking out, one suggestion being "Undercover" live from Stoller Hall. Very amazing performance.

And now we want an reaction video to this reaction video. This would finally be something new...

This one is definitely difficult to focus on the music. You should check out a few more of her songs. «The Brothel», «White foxes», «Fade away», «Delirious» just to name a few.

you should see the documentary, se Lene pain - and listen to all of Susannes music - this is an important piece of art

Thank you for a heartwarming reaction to this video 💚 I cry every single time I see it. Please try Susanne Sundfør "Undercover" live/black/ and hvite- versjon also. It is a beautiful performance. Greetings from Norway.

Heartbreaking, closer to reality then we like to see 🧡❤️💜💛💚

No doubt Susanne Sundfor has one of the most beautiful voices of the modern age. She sings like what an angel might sound like to us mortals here on this place we call Earth.

Thank you, Mike and Ginger. I can not really listen to this song. At first, I thought it was because I know the work of the photographer, Lena Marie that this song is dedicated for. Among many things, she portrayed children and parents in the refuge-camps in Greece - survivors. Extraordinary. She had the most terrible version of the Peter Pan syndrome. When she was 10 years old she wanted to stop time. So she stopped eating. I started to just listen to the song without the images of the video. And I still could not do it. The song itself is ... suspended ... I guess is a word for it. It is as beautiful as droplets on a flower and leaves and grass in the minutes of a new perfect summer morning. While wailing about what is lost and never can be experienced again. And that is before I get into the lyrics. The entire melody and arrangement hang in mid-air - and every time I come to the chorus that feels like it can be hugged for comfort - it feels like it dissolves if one tries to hold it. I can rationalise it - the way they overlay Susanne's vocal overlays in the mix it to the brink of becoming a-tonal. It is haunting and hopeful and loving. And yet I cry every time - not entirely sure why. It is like the entire song is a sarcophagus of sorts. Both expansive and claustrophobic.

Same here, I know susanne sundfør from before and also lena marie fossen from interviews and photos a few years before she died. The combination of it all, with the symbolism of death and her dying, refugees in a desperate situation on Greece and all the sad imagery I can’t stop crying when watching. Ive seen 3-4 reaction videoes with this and I litterally weep every time. So sad

people shouldnt skip this video.....they should see life as it is!!!

When children lose their smiles ... The song is nice, but the photographs are really, really good.

this song is such a heavy thing...its very beautiful song and video

Heartbreakingly beautiful. Thanks, guys ❤️

Susanne Sundfør is one of our ( Norwegian) best musician.. and the film is made by a Norwegian documentary maker Olin. This song always makes me cry, Thank you 🙏 best from Norway 🇳🇴❤️

Great reaction you guys. God effort holding it back as much as you did. This one hits me incredibly strong every time I hear it. And watch it. The picture of Susanne holding her hand at her death bed is just SO sad, knowing that they were close friends. Courageous stuff from both artists. Eating disorders need all the attention it can get. Much love and respect from Norway ❤️

its make me a Ghostbump on all of my body,, the sound like an elf

Strong song to even stronger images! Thanks!

This is so heartbreaking and touching.

i am with you ginger with a couple of teardrops...

I am so sad that we lost Lene ❤️ She was so talented and struggled for so long. Her photography lives on and will never be lost ❤️

Very touching, life is what it is.

Self image is a very distorted thing. We are our own worst critics. It flies in the face of logic that an artist with such a good eye for beauty in ordinary faces cannot see themselves in the same way. Still that's the frustrating aspect of this particular illness that make it so tragic. Amazing song.

Mike: Stonefaced. No feelings shown. Has he got any?

❤️❤️❤️

No words.

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

Lene Marie Fossen was an autodidact Norwegian photographer. She rejected the linear progression of time that forced her to go through puberty and stopped eating at the tender age of 10. She struggled with anorexia for the rest of her life. Fossen chose to be open about her disease and found her means of expression in photography. She is best known for her revealing self-portraits, captured in an abandoned lepra hospital in Chios, Greece. Fossen was a master of composition, color and light, and her soulful portraits of victims of the refugee crisis on the island of Chios in Greece also bear witness of a unique photographer. ‘My photographs are not about Anorexia’ she said, ‘they are about human suffering.’ Lene Marie Fossen was an autodidact Norwegian photographer.

Lene developed eating disorders in her early childhood.. The documentary is heart wrenching and honest. No filter. So so sad.

Juup aurora vibes !!!love to hear her live..will check her out and see what gives live on KZread...love it when react to New artists!!! Please react to beth hart "AmI the one " live at paradiso ...you guys will love it (if you enjoy the blues) nice Reaction...stay real and healthy!!!

Nice reaction to a beautiful song from a hauntinglly and beautiful movie. Gingers reactions shifts and reflects the imagery perfectlly🥰 Both Susanne and Lene Marie are unique. Lene Marie was afraid to grow up and for the transformation to a youth and adult, so she stopped eating, and her body stopped growing. Her art is fantastic, and she really captured the essens of the people she photoraphed - including her self. Because of the imagery you propably missed some of the music. I suggest you listen to Susannes song «Undercover» kzread.info/dash/bejne/c2GptNuIpZe_hpc.html

I was okay until Ginger started to lose it and then I lost it. The images were heartbreaking. Beautiful song.

Sorry, girl 🤜🏻🤛🏻 - G

If you like Susanne, you should really react to this video. When she released her album, she did it with a live performance for music journalists with this song; The brothel. She was played on all radio channels 12 hours later, topping all charts in Norway. It came out in a time politicians were discussing legislaing concerning prositutes here in Norway, so it also had quite a lot of relevance. kzread.info/dash/bejne/fYuc3LSTYKq5kpM.html&ab_channel=AncientPowerslave

This song, and the video is so powerful. Check out “Kamikaze” Also an Susanne Sundfør song😊

Pretty sad and unfortunate situation for anyone going through this. I'm no expert but I knew a girl that had this disorder when I was a teen. I was clueless as to why and thought it was just a disorder that she would get over. Never saw her again after that. All I can do here is if you have this problem contact NEDIC for info on the awareness and prevention of eating disorders in Canada. ! BTW the still photos remind me of Unicef commercials raising $$ for the kids in 3rd world countries. Thx

Vous cette géniale j'aime ♥ France usa

When you have recovered from this and want another good cry, maybe react to Röyksopp‘s „Running to the Sea“ (Also a Norwegian band, with vocals by Susanne): kzread.info/dash/bejne/l5V70sahmcjUfc4.html . It’s up to you whether you want to read up on the Utøya attack beforehand.

You should check out Susanne's song Undercover (kzread.info/dash/bejne/c2GptNuIpZe_hpc.html). It is a live performance where you really hear her fantastic voice. This song ends in a desperate plea.

She loved herself. She was just really sick. Anorexia is a terrible disease. It doesn’t mean she didn’t love herself. Why would you think that?

Overcoming the eating disorders is known to me - Iv-feededed friend lived in that hell.... It's mental disorder and it's serious, self damading. It's awfull to follow - and when that young woman got better, she was gave info that doing that much harm to her body that getting a child is impossible,

Please...listen a new Vanni Vabiola's cover ' One Moment in Time ' Whitney Houston

Please watch mountaineers by the same artist

Human intelligence is overrated and is no substitute for empathy & compassion. Sadly, the emotions experienced while listening to this song & watching the video will fade until it's once again business as usual.
