Trentemøller: .... Even Though You’re With Another Girl (Official music video)

“... Even Though You’re With Another Girl” is the second single taken from Anders Trentemøller’s wonderful second studio-album “Into The Great Wide Yonder” which has just been released in June 2010.

In the end, he ends up back in the house he grew up in, where he accidentally destroys the last bond between him and his girlfriend.

This can also be seen on the forever changing filmic language that starts off as being very normal (yet still timeless) and developing into a much more cinematic universe with elements of Fellini and Film Noir. Furthermore, the “... Even Though You’re With Another Gi...
