Hollow Talk - Choir of Young Believers (The Bridge Opening/Closing Theme)

Recently I watched not only 2 "Death In Paradise" seasons, but also 3 seasons of "The Bridge" ( or should I say "Bron/Broen" ). They are very different from eachother, however my wife and I liked to watch both mixed up on our TV. The dark "Bridge" with the funny "Death" made our TV evenings very enjoyable.

Note: I watched the original 3 seasons from Denmark/Sweden, not any remake. I never liked detectives that need 10 episode to tell a story. But in any season of "The Bridge" every episode reveals part of the solution and leave you with new questions. That is impressive story-telling. Ofcourse the main-actors Saga, Martin and Hendrik play their roles amazingly true and you could believe they are real people in a real-life serie. It's not my intension to tell you what happened in Season 1,2 and 3, but I will give you a brief description.
Season 1: Saga and Martin work together against a serial killer, who turns out to be a ex-collega of Martin.
Season 2: Saga and Martin work again together again a eco-terrorist group, Martin gets arrested after murdering his ex-collega.
Season 3: Saga and her new partner Hendrik work together against a serial killer, who wants to destroy his family and everybody around it. In the end both dont work for the police anymore.

Not only the script, the actors, etc are excellent, the Opening and Closing Theme is really a tune you wont forget. It starts slowly and fits in the dark adventures of Saga and her partners. Then all at once at the end of each episode the second part of the song hits you like a hammer (and you have to adjust the volume of your TV).

The song is called Hollow Talk from Choir of Young Believers , I listened to the original on YouTube, but I believe the edited (shorter) version used in The Bridge is much better.
So I search for an ending with good audio, here is the ending of the final episode of season 2, when Martin got arrested. Check it out, and you know why "The Bridge" is such a great detective serie.

In November 2016 they started with season 4, the last season. Martin, Saga and Hendrik will be present, but we have to wait until in 2018 the serie can be seen.

Finally, even the car of Saga is as famous as the actors, an old Porsche 911.
There were plenty discussions about which model was used in "The Bridge" (all 3 seasons).

Try to watch this serie, if you like detectives, this is the real thing.
