How Trentemøller made his pretty song 'In The Garden'

Danish indie-electronic producer Trentemøller shared with CoS how he made his song 'In The Garden'. First came the melody - he has a rule that says if he can remember a melody or chord progression the day after he came up with it, it’s worth working further on. This one stuck. Inspiration for the track came from 90’s Yamaha effect, and the idea was for the song, and the whole album 'Observe', to be instrumental. But than Lina Tullgren came up with lyrics about the nature of songwriting, which fit perfectly with the instrumental. The circle was full and finished when Trentemøller himself made a video for the song.
