Two Voices, One Church
The song is a duet: all vocals are by Bruun and Katrine Stenbekk of Kalandra, and Bruun wrote the music and lyrics and played every instrument on the recording. Fieke Van den Hurk mixed and mastered it. The video was filmed with a special thank you to Gentofte Church, and features the ballerinas Iris Johansson and Sarah Kirstein Junge.
