A compilation album, "The Very Best of Trine Rein", was released in 2004 and in 2006 Trine was in the final of the Norwegian national Eurovision Song Contest selection "Melodi Grand Prix" with the song "Here For the Show".
At this point, Trine Rein took a break from the music business in order to regroup and to find a good reason to continue creating more music. Her next solo album was released twelve years later, "Seeds of Joy", with lyrics and songs written mostly by herself together with the producers. The album was released when success was no longer rated in album sales, but in streaming rates and visibility in the media. Her live performances had a major upswing as it had become the only way to make a living as an artist. She went on tour with her fiancé, Lars Monsen, to perform their very personal show «Vilt&Vakkert» («Wild&Beautiful») - a concert- and speech combo that received lukewarm reviews from the media, but became a very popular show seen by audiences in mostly sold out venues across all of Norway.
In 2011, Trine Rein released her first Christmas album with songs she had written mostly by herself with the help from a couple of musicians colleagues. She began to organize church concerts using local choirs from the Soul Children network, and toured around Norway with her own Christmas tour called «Julegaven» («The Christmas Gift») for four years. In 2013, Trine Rein could celebrate her 20th anniversary as a professional artist in Norway, and she put together a concert show which was performed in several major venues in Norway. She released her first live album from this tour, «Hits and Favorites», and continued touring in 2014 celebrating her 20th anniversary as an international artist.
Trine Rein currently collaborates with rock legend Tony Carey in creating new music, and has released two new singles from the upcoming album, «The Well». To be continued….

TRINE REIN Lyrics

Trine Rein - Torn
===================
I thought I saw a man brought to life
He was warm - He came around like he was dignified
He showed me what it was to cry
You don't seem to know - Don't seem to care what your heart is for
But I don't know him anymore
There's nothing where he used to lie
My conversation has run dry
That's what's going on
And nothing's fine I'm torn
I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake
And I can see
The perfect sky is torn
You're a little late
I'm already torn
So I guess the fortune teller's right
Should have seen just what was there - And not some holy light
But you crawled beneath my veins
And now I don't care - I had no luck
I don't miss it all that much
There's just so many things
That I can touch I'm torn
I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake
And I can see
The perfect sky is torn
You're a little late
I'm already torn
Oh yeah - Oh yeah
There's nothing where he used to lie
My inspiration has run dry
That's what's going on
And nothing's right I'm torn
I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake
And I can see
The perfect sky is torn
I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I'm ashamed
Bound and broken on the floor
You're a little late
I'm already torn
Oh yeah - Oh yeah
Oh yeah
The song Torn by Trine Rein tells a story about a woman who was once in love with a man whom she thought was perfect. This man was like no other and showed her what it was to cry. However, as time passed, she realized that he was not who she thought he was. He did not seem to care about his heart, and she did not know him anymore. The woman is torn between what once was and what is now, and she feels broken and alone.
The lyrics convey the singer’s sense of loss and betrayal. She thought the man she loved was real, but he was a mere illusion that disappeared in front of her. The singer is lost, out of faith and inspiration, and feels exposed, lying naked on the floor. Despite waking up to the reality of the situation, the singer feels torn apart, and nothing seems to make sense. The perfect sky that she thought existed is now torn apart, and it’s too late to fix the damage. The singer is left feeling broken and torn and sees no way of recovering from the heartbreak.
In summary, Trine Rein’s song Torn describes the emotional state of a woman who thought she found the love of her life but ended up being betrayed and feeling torn between her feelings and the reality that she woke up to.
Line by Line Meaning
I thought I saw a man brought to life
I once saw a man who appeared vibrant and full of life
He was warm - He came around like he was dignified
He exuded a sense of warmth and carried himself with a regal quality
He showed me what it was to cry
That man displayed raw emotion and expressed sadness
Well you couldn't be that man I adored
You, the person I thought I knew, are not capable of being as great as I once thought
You don't seem to know - Don't seem to care what your heart is for
You appear to lack awareness and consideration for the value of emotions and feelings
But I don't know him anymore
I no longer recognize or understand the person I once thought I knew
There's nothing where he used to lie
Where he used to reside, there is now an emptiness
My conversation has run dry
I have nothing left to say and am at a loss for words
That's what's going on
That's the current situation
And nothing's fine I'm torn
Everything feels disastrous and I am falling apart
I'm all out of faith
I have lost my trust and belief in someone or something
This is how I feel
This is the honest and genuine emotion I am experiencing
I'm cold and I am shamed
I feel isolated and guilty
Lying naked on the floor
I feel vulnerable and exposed
Illusion never changed into something real
The falsehood never transformed into a tangible truth
I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
I am aware and cognizant of the imperfections that disrupt the illusion of perfection
You're a little late I'm already torn
It's too late, I have already been shattered and broken
So I guess the fortune teller's right
I suppose that the prediction or warning was accurate
Should have seen just what was there - And not some holy light
I should have recognized the truth instead of falling for a false sense of purity
But you crawled beneath my veins
You worked your way into my thoughts and emotions
And now I don't care - I had no luck
I do not have any emotional investment left and have found no positive outcome
I don't miss it all that much
I do not have much of an attachment or fondness for that past situation
There's just so many things that I can touch I'm torn
There are so many options in front of me that I am overwhelmed and conflicted
My inspiration has run dry
I no longer have the motivation or creativity to be inspired
That's what's going on
That is the current reality
And nothing's right I'm torn
Nothing feels positive or hopeful, I am in a state of chaos and pain

@Sangsstuff
I mean it's good but not being made into several covers over a span of 6 years good. Even Gangnam Style only got maybe 2 official covers...
@evandangel8173
Glee also did a cover!!!

Nyek🙂
@flanger001
Neck Deep's cover pisses me off. It's super well performed but the way they changed the lyrics really changes the meaning of the song.

What a beautiful woman. Hard to believe that video is 30 years old.
@Tommy_007
Women were also beautiful in the past.
@Goonies-xh3qr
My heart melts with every view. Such a beautiful woman

She should totally play an evil queen or dark sorceress in some fantasy show/movie.
