Swedish singer Lune unveiled the music video for her haunting reinterpretation of Swedish House Mafia's 2009 hit song, "Leave The World Behind," starring Axwell, Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso. In addition to featuring Lune in the updated version, Volvo Cars will also have a starring role in the music video, as the automobile company uses "Leave the World Behind" as the theme for their upcoming advertising campaign for the new Volvo XC60.
Lune is a music project fronted by Linnéa Martinsson, who has collaborated with various electronic acts. Rooted in the dance and performance world she started young, writing simple songs with two chords and simple, direct lyrics about art, fighting, sport, love and sex. "Leave the World Behind," features her moving, soulful rendition of the trio's earlier hit. This one, opposite to the original, is totally stripped down to one of the most moving pieces of music you were to hear.
"Lune is not a regular house act but when I heard it I immediately knew that it was a project that I wanted to get involved in” says Ingrosso, “It’s a project that one shouldn't try to influence too much - it really has it's own unique qualities that shouldn’t be tampered with“," he continues. So very deep and so very pensive, it's lyrics make you want to let go of a fast paced, stressful life and move on to an easier, calmer and more remote one, just like the trio in the video. The video does what Lune's facebook page had been proclaiming over the last few days. Delivering the sound from the Balearic Isles to the Norwegian fjords is a feat Lune achieves perfectly.

The highly teased and anticipated new video compliments the entire mood of the song perfectly and we see a glimpse at a simpler life, away from the bright lights and booming bass. Directed by Adam Berg, it’s beautifully made on ideal locations and trio's home ground in Scandinavia, and its setting theme seems to imply that boys from Swedish House Mafia quite literally left the world behind and returned to their roots and a simpler life. The cinematography is absolutely touching as each and every frame helps you picturise the exact emotion of with which this version was created. The end is even more haunting with Ingrosso playing a beautiful yet eerie tune on an old grand piano and Axwell clanking his metal cup while sailing on a boat. The huge house classic fits the chilling yet serene video. Take a look at it yourself, it'll definitely make you want to leave the world behind you.
