Featuring the haunting vocals of Karin Dreijer Andersson — from the Swedish electronica duo The Knife, also known for her solo work as Fever Ray — spawns the third single from Norwegian duo Röyksopp’s album The Understanding.
The music video was directed by Martin De Thurah, the CADS Music Vision Award winner for the best new Director, 2005. It features Norwegian model Marianne Schröder with a cameo by Karin.
Beneath the sound of Karin’s distinctive singing, lies the story of a restless spirit, who was victim to a car accident.
In the video, Schröder illustrates the ghost of the victim, haunting the roads. Eventually she tracks down the driver who hit her, to acknowledge her presence and share her story.
The song contains a sample from Love Me, Love The Life I Lead by The Drifters and another sample taken from Kill Me With Your Love performed by Jericho.

Karin is the woman eating at the table in the video... the final look she gives the camera when the other girl is touching her head is frightening. But this song is too beautiful...

It's Marianne Schröder, she's a Norwegian model. But the other blonde who's briefly seen in the vid is Karin.
