The final track 'Garden of Exile' from the concert at Rebildcentret / Thingbæk Kalkminer one week ago. It is evident that the mine's climate takes a toll on both vocal cords and string instruments, but it was still an impressive place to do a concert.

'Garden of Exile' is one of the oldest songs in my repertoire, and is the only song I have played at all my concerts. The song usually functions as a closer. A principle that has only been deviated from once, when we had an extra encore.
'Garden of Exile', together with 'Cloudberries', was written in the second half of 1995, and the songs were originally presented to my high school band, who didn't like them. After that, they were mothballed until I dusted them off for the 'Anyway' album in 2009. Both songs had new lyrics written and new arrangements done, and even though the songs celebrate their 30th birthday this year, they still stand for me as some of my strongest songs.
'Garden of Exile' takes its title from a courtyard at the Jewish Museum in Berlin, while the lyrics are a fable about the beat novel 'The Sheltering Sky' by Paul Bowles.
