Trentemøller made his debut in 1997 together with DJ T.O.M. when they formed the first live-house act in Denmark, Trigbag, and started playing concerts all over the globe. Trigbag's single Showtime was played by international DJs such as Alex Gopher, Laurent Garnier, and Etienne de Crécy. Trigbag dissolved in 2000.

Trentemøller returned on Naked Music in 2003 with his The Trentemøller EP including the tracks Le Champagne and Work in Progress. Trentemøller received the award “Up Front Release of the Year” at the Danish DJ Awards in February 2004 for the Track “Le Champagne”.

In late 2004 he and his friend and partner, DJ Buda, issued a white label remix of Aphex Twin's Windowlicker, under the name Run Jeremy. Together they've also made other great tracks such as "Gamma" and "25 Timer". Furthermore, Trentemøller has worked together with DJ Buda and DJ T.O.M. on another track on the upcoming and much anticipated Lulu Rouge album entitled Bless You which was released in May 2008.

In February 2005 Steve Bug released the renowned Trentemøller EP Physical Fraction on his label Audiomatique. This release put Trentemøller on the map of internationally successful producers, and was followed by three releases on Bug’s main label Poker Flat: Polar Shift, Sunstroke, and the Nam Nam EP. Many reader polls awarded him as the Best Newcomer of the year 2005.

Trentemøller is also a much demanded remixer. Highlights have been his remixes for Martinez (Shadowboxing), Sharon Philips ("Want 2/Need 2"), Röyksopp (What Else Is There?), The Knife (We Share Our Mother’s Health), Sodom for the Pet Shop Boys, and Moby’s hit Go. Go (Trentemøller Remix) charted at #38 on the Australian ARIA Club chart in October 2006. In 2006, Trentemøller also released a remix of Chris Isaak's 90s hit Wicked Game under his alias Businessman. The single was called Dubby Games and was a major underground tune that year.

Anders' debut album The Last Resort was released on Poker Flat in October 2006. German magazine Groove Mag and French magazine Trax both voted it as "Record of the Year" in November 2006.

His Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1 was voted Essential Mix of the Year by listeners in 2006.

In 2007 the song Moan by Trentemøller feat. Ane Trolle was a big hit in Denmark as well as a top 30 hit in the Belgium Singles Top 50.

His fourth album, entitled Fixion, released on 16 September 2016

(2) Denmark-based Anders Trentemøller made his debut in 1997, DJ'ing the local club circuit and occasionally performing live. After a self-imposed hiatus spanning several years, he returned with his own productions, which quickly grabbed the ear of the then red-hot Naked Music house music label. His debut EP was well received and won praise from DJs in all electronic music genres. This led to a series of 12" singles on such labels as Audiomatique and Tic Tac Toe before Trentemøller found a home on Germany's esteemed Poker Flat, where he released a series of critically acclaimed singles. His ambitious, moody double-disc album The Last Resort was released in 2006 on Poker Flat. Into the Great Wide Yonder, issued on Trentemøller's In My Room label, followed four years later and was even more removed from the dancefloor. This move toward the midtempo continued with 2013's Lost, a song-oriented effort that featured guest appearances from Jana Hunter, Marie Fisker, and the indie rock group Low. A remixed version of the album, Lost Reworks, appeared in 2014. ~ Rob Theakston, Rovi

I Know I'll See You
Trentemøller Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I just couldn't wait to see you again
No, I never, ever turned off on friends
Well, I thought I heard you say, and I know I feel the rain
But I can't give up looks until it's away

Now I just can't take, the way to live my life
Holding dear the last breath in my lungs
I know I'll see you again, see you again

Don't take my hand cause I take it away
And I take everything just to take it away
Well, you can't leave me problems
You can't give me signs
And as it easy you give, I can take it away

Now I know the things I say
Don't hold up in the rain
Everyone was a gift straight from my heart

Give it then, take it away
Take it away
Take it away
I take it away

I just couldn't wait to see you again
No, I never, ever turned off on friends
Well I thought I heard you say, and I know I feel the rain
But I can't give up looks until it's away

Don't take my hand, cause I take it away
And I take everything just take it away
I can't feel my head as it slips away
My hands touch the ground, but I'm not safe

I just couldn't wait to see you again

I just couldn't wait to see you again
See you again!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Trentemøller's song "I Know I'll See You" speak to themes of longing and loss, of the struggle to let go and move on. The opening lines, "I just couldn't wait to see you again, No, I never, ever turned off on friends," express the singer's eagerness to reconnect with someone they've been separated from for some time. They are committed to their relationships and hold onto the importance of people in their life. The lines "Well, I thought I heard you say, and I know I feel the rain, But I can't give up looks until it's away" could speak to the singer's efforts to maintain an appearance of strength and solidity, even as they acknowledge the difficulty of letting go of something.

The chorus of "I Know I'll See You" expresses the singer's sense of hope, that even though they can't hold onto everything they want, they can still look forward to reunions in the future. The lyrics "I know I'll see you again, see you again" emphasize the singer's optimism and faith that they will one day be reunited with the person they are missing.

The rest of the lyrics continue the theme of loss, with lines like "Don't take my hand, cause I take it away, And I take everything just to take it away…" expressing the singer's fear of losing what they hold dear. And yet, even as the singer grapples with the changing nature of relationships and the inevitability of loss, they are also capable of kindness and generosity, giving their heart and their gifts "straight from...the heart."

Overall, "I Know I'll See You" is a poignant and contemplative look at the nature of relationships and loss. It speaks to the human experience of longing for connection with others, even as we struggle to hold onto those connections in the face of inevitable change.

Line by Line Meaning

I just couldn't wait to see you again
I missed you so much and couldn't wait to be reunited with you

No, I never, ever turned off on friends
I never lost interest in or neglected my friendships

Well, I thought I heard you say, and I know I feel the rain
I might have misinterpreted something you said, but I can sense that something is wrong

But I can't give up looks until it's away
I cannot stop pretending that everything is okay until the problem has been resolved

Now I just can't take, the way to live my life
I can no longer continue to live my life in the same way

Holding dear the last breath in my lungs
I am cherishing every moment of my life

I know I'll see you again, see you again
Despite the challenges we're facing, I believe we'll reunite someday

Don't take my hand cause I take it away
I'm afraid to get close to you and then end up pushing you away

And I take everything just to take it away
I tend to sabotage myself and ruin everything that I have

Well, you can't leave me problems
I can't handle my issues on my own and rely on others for support

You can't give me signs
I struggle to interpret people's intentions and emotions towards me

And as it easy you give, I can take it away
Even though you give me what I need, I can ruin it all with my destructive behaviour

Now I know the things I say, don't hold up in the rain
I realize that my words of love and promises won't stand the test of time and challenges

Everyone was a gift straight from my heart
I cherish every person in my life deeply and appreciate them as a precious gift

Give it then, take it away
I tend to love and then quickly abandon or ruin my relationships

Take it away, take it away
My self-destructive tendencies cause me to ruin everything I touch

I can't feel my head as it slips away
I'm losing control of my mind and actions

My hands touch the ground, but I'm not safe
I might be physically present, but I don't feel secure in my surroundings

See you again!
I long to see you again and hope that it will happen
