Description
The Last Night
dividedminds’25 is re-releasing their debutalbum The Last Night in a remastered edition, including two bonus tracks written shortly after the original release in 2004. The album will be out in
October 2025, with the first single dropping in june.
The music is an atmospheric blend of electronic and authentic sound — where intimate poetry meets electronic landscapes. The music moves within a space between electronic and raw pop, wrapped in dreamy melancholy.
The trio began working together in 2001 and released The Last Night in 2004. The album was well received by both critics and audiences, leading to a series of concerts in Denmark and the Faroe Islands, as well as appearances on Danish TV and radio.
“There is something in the soundscape, the lyrics, the melodies, the singing, and the handlingof the instruments that evokes a desire to unfold one’s listening ears.”–Ivan Rod, Gaffa (translated from Danish)

The Last Night
The Last Night
1. Caught By You
Words: Lene Drachmann
Music: Stephen Nørrelykke
I’ve fallen deep into Baba’s hole
it’s a risky venture
That you control
I am here
Careless with my nudity
Throwing down my fences
For you to see
It’s because the sun
is shining all the time
And my skin is scented by the shiny sun
In a sense it’s like you’re always here with me
Love is catchy
– And just begun
So hung up
You’re cramming things to be with me
I don’t mind the waiting
The simplicity
It’s because the sun is shining all the time
And my skin is scented by the shiny sun
In a sense it’s like you’re always here with me
Love is catchy
– And just begun
It’s because the sun is shining all the time
And my skin is scented by the shiny sun
In a sense it’s like you’re always here with me
Love is catchy
– And just begun
2. I’m Not Stronger
Words: Lene Drachmann
Music: Maria Guttesen
You don’t think about my future
About the gab I’m heading at
You don’t consider my partner
You don’t think we’re all that
You don’t see that my earth shakes
When your own carries on
You don’t think that my back breaks
If you’re own back is strong
“You’ll be fine you say,” You’ll get through
“You will cope you say,” You always do
But sometimes I’m down
And I’m not at all stronger than you
I can’t count on the strength
That you all think I posses
I can’t count on any force
to lead me to success
“You’ll be fine you say,” You’ll get through
“You will cope you say,” You always do
But sometimes I’m down
And I’m not at all stronger than you
You think weakness is annoying
And sickness is a bore
But I don’t need you pep talk
I need your comfort so much more
“You’ll be fine you say,” You’ll get through
“You will cope you say,” You always do
But sometimes I’m down
And I’m not at all stronger than you
And I’m not at all stronger than you
And I’m not at all stronger than you
3. Before I Met You
Words: Lene Drachmann
Music: Maria Guttesen, Stephen Nørrelykke
Before I met you, before I met you
I had no roots, no place to rest my tired head
Before you came, I had a thunder inside
looking for shelter, but being stripped instead
But there you were
Insisting to be near
You had a magical presence
Warm and sincere
Before I met you, before I met you
I fooled around, making a fool out of me
Before you came, I was in shambles
My heart and my soul seemed to disagree
But there you were
Insisting to be near
You had a magical presence
Warm and sincere
It’s like I just woke
From a gentle loving poke
Into me you grow
telling me what I need to know
Before I met you, before I met you
I was trapped, I was sitting on a trap door
before you came, I was just waiting
never really knowing what to look for
But there you were
Insisting to be near
You had a magical presence
Warm and sincere
4. Another Try
Words: Lene Drachmann
Music: Maria Guttesen
I cry
‘Cause I’m lost in the sky
I didn’t really wanna die
I’d like one more try
I pray
Let me out of this ray
I didn’t want it anyway
I’ll go back and stay
I see now
that life is
worth living
I see now
little treasure so giving
I hear now
the future is calling
The future is calling now
I fell
I had landed in hell
I really wasn’t well
and noone could tell
But here
I feel nothing but fear
it’s all becomming clear
Please make it disappear
I see now
that life is worth living
I see now
little treasure so giving
I hear now
the future is calling
The future is calling now
Please take all my promises
and grant another wish
I would have looked more serious
if I really wanted this
I won’t make believe in it
can’t play tricks on fate
I’ll live my life so splendidly
I hope it’s not to late
I see now
that life is worth living
I see now
little treasure so giving
I hear now
the future is calling
The future is calling now
I see now
that life is worth living
I see now
little treasure so giving
I hear now
the future is calling
The future is calling now
5. A Better Today
Words: Lene Drachmann
Music: Maria Guttesen
Got a letter from a long lost friend
Nothing to recover, nothing to defend
A touch of warmth that I once felt
Run the emotional conveyer belt
Forgive and forget and swallow the rest
I bury the corpses inside my chest
Time will heal ’cause I won’t remember
The grudge will die like a tiny ember
I can only make tomorrow a better today
I can only make tomorrow a better today
I can only make tomorrow a better today
I can only make tomorrow a better today
Too many times I’ve been a temptress
Hoping the rejection was only lies
So much love with no one to bless
The hardened soul was just a disguise
I can only make tomorrow a better today
I can only make tomorrow a better today
I can only make tomorrow a better today
I can only make tomorrow a better today
6. Amazing Girl
Words: Lene Drachmann
Music: Maria Guttesen
Dancing around

7. I Wish
Words: Lene Drachmann
Music: Lene Drachmann
This small room
Golden with smoke and age
Sweat and perfume
Caging love and rage
A small cloud
lined with gold and cream
Loved by the crowd
Muting my scream
Wish my ears couldn’t hear
Wish
I had nothing to fear
I cover my mouth and pray
Wish I had nothing to say
I’m all right
Well that’s what I tell you
Loosing the light
The day is through
Wish my ears couldn’t hear
Wish I had nothing to fear
I cover my mouth and pray
Wish I had nothing to say
8. Come On
Words: Lene Drachmann
Music: Maria Guttesen, Stephen Nørrelykke
You’re trapped in a cast
your tradition’s dated
Your ears stuffed with resistance
your eyesight faded
I don’t say it right
my suggestions tripping
I only stuff your ears
with more lully gripping
Come on
I’m not playing
I’m playing
praying for progress
Stop defending
Start attending
The now
Won’t be your excuse
I am not to blame
though I intervened
You’re still the same
So endlessly
hopelessly trend less
Must keep in line
refusing redesign
Come on
I’m not playing
I’m playing
praying for progress
Stop defending
Start attending
The now
Putting a friend down
won’t make your wrongs right
Take away that dumb frown
you really don’t have to fight
I’m saying this in capital letters
I’m saying this only to make things better
Come on – Cool down
Listen to yourself
– listen to the sad sound
Come on
I’m not playing
I’m playing
praying for progress
Stop defending
Start attending
The now
Come on
I’m not playing
I’m playing
praying for progress
Stop defending
Start attending
The now
9. Autumn Came Too Soon
Words: Lene Drachmann
Music: Maria Guttesen
Tonight I sav the larges rainbow
Right in the dark blue sky
A moment there your memory left me
and I forgot to cry
I turned my head and fire clouds
would drift across my view
It’s nice to know that nature’s art
can stop me missing you
I kept myself from falling for you
until you said you cared
Then I gave up the barricade
before you were prepared
Now I sit here all by myself
writing out my pain
The sky has no more rainbow shine
so all I see is rain
I first met you in springtime
But didn’t fall in love until june
I think I really touched something
inside me
and it’s painful and it’s painful
’cause you have gone and left me
far to soon
All day I sat here thinking of you
let my tears run free
Knowing that I waste my time
on someone leaving me
But you have been so beautiful
and turned my wanting heart
I gave it to you willingly
and blame myself in part
I first met you in springtime
But didn’t fall
in love until June
I think you really touched something
inside me
and it’s painful and it’s painful
’cause you have gone and left me
far to soon
10. Your Eyes
Words: Lene Drachmann
Music: Stephen Nørrelykke
I had only been told about you
Stories about your smile
how you can treasure life
being warm and mild
I walked in having no expectation
of wonderful quality such rare
openheartedness
you just showed to me
When I first sat down next to you
So frail you sat there
not an uneasy moment
feeling you tender air
You owe me nothing
but gave me everything
with a glimpse into
your beautiful eyes
My life is lacking your kind
Here in your life’s December
But you don’t need another child
Still – I’ll remember
You owe me nothing
(makes me want us to meet again)
but gave me everything
with a glimpse into
(makes me want to believe in heaven)
your beautiful eyes
You owe me nothing
(makes me want us to meet again)
but gave me everything
with a glimpse into
(makes me want to believe in heaven)
your beautiful eyes
I hope that we will meet again
We can have a really good talk then
They said you knew, said you knew
– just when
11. The Last Night
Words: Lene Drachmann
Music: Maria Guttesen
When you are lying fast asleep
I pretend this is my day
I’m pretending that you care so much
that you will aways stay
’cause I really want you
That’s why I feel so blue
I can’t prevent the many things
That are pulling you away
When you are singing love songs
I pretend it’s me you see
I pretend the corny phrases mean
that we are meant to be
’cause I really want you
That’s why I feel so blue
The words are meant to someone
but just not for me
You are so beautiful
as you lie next to me so peacefully
You are so beautiful
As dreams set you free
I wish to be a part of you
but I have to let you be
’cause you are lost in fairy tales
far away from me
When you send me shiny smiles
I’m pretending sunny weather
I’m pretending that your smiles fulfil
my dream of us together
’cause I really want you
That’s why I feel so blue
Soon I’ll sit in solitude, missing you forever
You are so beautiful
as you lie next to me so peacefully
You areso beautiful
As dreams set you free
I wish to be a part of you
but I have to let you be
’cause you are lost in fairy tales
far away from me
You are so beautiful
as you lie next to me so peacefully
You are so beautiful
As dreams set you free
I wish to be a part of you
but I have to let you be
’cause you are lost in fairy tales
far away from me
You are so beautiful…. yeah yeah yeah yeah
You are so beautiful…. yeah yeah yeah
12. Time Keeper
Words: Maria Salomon
Music: Maria Guttesen
Sometimes I find it hard to keep up
When time gets out of my control
When my thoughts are far away
Where illusions become reality
Where do we go from here
Walking on the edge of time
I’m the time keeper
I’m the time keeper
Fragments of yesterday’s doings
It all seems so unorganized
Time is just a ticking bomb
My nerves are strained to the breaking point
Where do we go from here
Walking on the edge of time
Where do we go from here
Walking on the edge of time
I’m the time keeper
I’m the time keeper
13. Luckily
Words: Lene Drachmann
Music: Maria Guttesen, Stephen Nørrelykke
Priority
Will you decide
Who it’s going to be
Honestly
I’d waste 10 lives
for one of quality
Luckily I’m not God
I can go on living
Without a thought
Luckily it’s allowed
to take the easy road
and rest in a cloud
Unfortunately
Even with covered eyes
I can see
Between you and me
Would you decide
Who it’s going to be
Luckily I’m not God
I can go on living
Without a thought
Luckily it’s allowed
to take the easy road
and rest in a cloud
La la la
–
la la la
–
la la la
La la la

la la la
–
la la la
Luckily I’m not God
I can go on living
Without a thought
Luckily it’s allowed
to take the easy road
and rest in a cloud
Luckily I’m not God
I can go on living
Oh oh oh oh
Luckily it’s allowed
to take the easy road
and rest in a cloud
Between you and me
Would you decide
Who it’s going to be
14. Thats What You Get
Words: Lene Drachmann
Music: Maria Guttesen, Stephen Nørrelykke
They are ready with the defensive axe
Every time you go beyond baby foot prince max
They’ll fit you well if you tip your toes
But they won’t if you stand strong on both
That’s what you get for being nice
They are rolling heads, like they are rolling dice
That’s what you get for being nice
They are rolling heads, like they are rolling dice
Big shot talkers controlling the mood
Don’t speak up don’t talk back they’ll kill your groove
That’s what you get for being nice
They are rolling heads, like they are rolling dice
That’s what you get for being nice
They are rolling heads, like they are rolling dice
If you hold up a mirror
They will open blind eyes
They will call you a hater
Cause their truth
Are there lies – lies – lies
That’s what you get for being nice
They are rolling heads, like they are rolling dice
That’s what you get for being nice
They are rolling heads, like they are rolling dice
That’s what you get for being nice
They are rolling heads, like they are rolling dice
