I really like the way Ellen and Thorbjörn have interpreted the song. It’s an epic video that lifts up the song just like that. Makes it big. Maybe more pure as well. The lyrics of the song are rooted in nature and the video obviously builds on that. Somehow it’s a very clean interpretation of the song. Meant in the very best way. - Mads Damsgaard Kristiansen
