The official music video for the song "Natten (=The Night, Silent Night)", from the album "Poetenes Evangelium (1993)" sung by Morten Harket. (words by: Jens Bjørneboe / music by: Øivind Varkøy). The poem was chosen from the anthology titled as "Poetenes Evangelium : Jesu Liv i Norske Dikt (=The Gospel of the Poet : Jesus' Life in Norwegian Poetry)" by Håvard Rem.
I tried to make the vid look & sound clearer... Though the image is still blurry, the sound was replaced with its ALBUM ver.** And I added the lyrics in Norwegian & English*** as subtitles
**Since the single ver. (or video ver.) has the strings part during the introduction once more than the album's ( I don't own neither of the single ver. nor high quality sound of video version...), I wanted to add something to avoid 15 seconds of silence - then reminded that the video for 'Salome' (http://youtu.be/4_RU-smbKm4) started with the thunder.
So, I brought the sound of thunder from a-ha's 'Crying in the Rain' again, and attached it to the beginning of the album ver. of this song. ...Sorry about that!
The original sound with the video had a few times of refrain of the organs which are the same as what you can hear in the beginning of the album version.
*** To find what the original Norwegian lyrics mean, I referred to some websites like the one introducing Jens Bjørneboe's works & fansites - and used some online dictionaries. If there were any incorrect descriptions in English subtitles, please excuse me for my misunderstandings.
Hope you enjoy, anyways!
