由于自己创作所有的音乐与歌词，Lene Marlin用一把空心吉他与她优美声音，传达了独有的音乐觉醒意识。用更深层、更神秘的方式，来反映出冬天的漫长与忧伤，承袭来自斯堪地那维亚的流行乐创作力，以及拥有对美国大陆的词曲创作传统的高度了解。
她的唱片并成为挪威有史以来销售量最高、而且销售速度最快速的单曲唱片。首支单曲 [Unforgivable Sinner]已经得到葛莱美奖的肯定，并且得到排行榜冠军长达五周之久。
虽然来自北国挪威的音乐精灵Lene Marlin (琳恩玛莲) 的首张专辑「Playing My Game」(自由自在) 在日本卖得呱呱叫，且被日本媒体封为「挪威的宇多田」，但是这位年仅19岁的小妮子，在昨天的记者会上则坦言的说一点也不认识宇多田，因为日本人的名字听起来都很像，所以没有什么印象。不过对于歌手林忆莲翻唱她的"Sitting Down Here"，琳恩则表示：「非常喜欢林忆莲的声音，只是很想知道中文歌词的意思。」
琳恩玛莲被发掘的过程也是满戏剧化，坐坐公车就碰上生命中的伯乐记者，进而和奥斯陆Virgin唱片公司签约，结果灰姑娘一夕之间美梦成真，不仅专辑在挪威当地大卖，在欧洲和日本也双双获得金唱片的销售好成绩，更在99年的MTV欧洲的音乐大奖中打败The Cardigans，拿下「北欧最受欢迎艺人」奖，使得琳恩玛莲原本平静的学生生活也起了大转变，除了要兼顾课业外，还要播出时间宣传唱片、接受电视电台报纸的访问，琳恩说：「虽然不知道为什么大家都喜欢我的音乐，但是真的很高兴，尤其是第一次帮歌迷签名时，真的是让我又惊又喜，印象深刻。」至于成名后，同学对她的态度是否有什么改变？音乐小精灵则很无奈的表示：「我觉得我还是我啊！但是我也不知道为什么，就是有些朋友改变了，开始不知道要如何跟我说话…」
现在西洋歌坛小天后Britney Spears、Christina Aguilera都又唱又跳，未来琳恩是否也会希望朝这个方向发展，像她的偶像之一Janet Jackson一样，小音乐才女赶紧表示：「喔！不！绝对不！」。不过琳恩倒是表示很希望能和U2的主唱Bono合作。那么爸妈会不会担心琳恩自己一个人在外巡回宣传？「不会，因为他们知道我很安全」，琳恩表示她的爸妈反而很低调，不太希望别人知道他们是星爸星妈，不过他们都很支持琳恩的音乐，因为他们知道这是她的梦想，所以其实他们也不是这么了解她到底在做什么，只知道他们的小女儿现在常常上广播和电视。 小女孩总是有些不想被外人知道的小秘密，所以小精灵倒是很懂闪躲飞行术，对于现在是否已经找到守护神王子？琳恩玛莲则坚不透露，只笑说：「这是秘密！」，不过对于喜欢男孩的类型，琳恩则爽快开出条件，一要高、二是人要好、三嘛！当然是要在一起要好玩啰。

Sitting Down Here
your words cur rather deeply,
they are just some other lies
i am hiding from a distance,
i have got to pay the price defending all against it
i really dont know why you are obsessed with all my secrets,
you always make me cry you seem to wanna hurt me no matter what i do ,
i am telling just a couple,
but somehow it gets to you
but i have learned to get revenge and i swear you will experience that some day
i am sitting down here,but hey you cant see me kinda invisible you dont sense my stay
not really hiding,not like a shadow
just thought i would join you for one day
i am sitting down here,but hey you cant see me
i am not trying to avoid you
just dont wanna hear your voice when you call me up so often
i don treally have a choice you are talking like you know me,
and wanna be my friend
but that is really too late now
i wont try it once again yo may think that i am a loser
that i dont really care you
may think that it is forgotten but u should be aware,
i have learned to get revenge and i swear you will experience that some day
i am sitting down here,but hey you cant see me kinda invisible yo dont sense my stay
not really hiding,not like a shadow
just thought i would join you for on day
i am sitting down here,but hey you cant see me kinda invisible you dont sense my stay
not really hiding,not like a shadow
but sure i wanna join you for one day
========================================================
Playing My Game
Wont open my mouth,
You know what Ill say
It hurts me that its gotta be this way
I can no longer hide
God knows Ive tried
I held on as long as I could
If I could change it, I would
This is the way I am,
And this is what I do.
I cry my tears
But theyre not for you
Playing a game
I know youve done too
I shouldnt have waited,
But still its all the same
Cause you know,
Im just playing my game.
Close your ears if you dont like the sound of my voice
Youre acting like I
Like I had a choice
But to leave you behind well,
Ive made up my mind.
I cry my tears
But they not for you
Playing a game
I know youve done too
I shouldnt have waited,
But still it is all the same
Because you know,
Im just playing my game.
Dont hold me with your eyes
The light in them I cannot see,
No need to blind me
Theres this darkness where I walk
You thought you had your future
All figured out.
I cry my tears
But theyre not for you
Playing a game
I know youve done too
I shouldnt have waited,
But still it is all the same
Cause you know,
Im just playing my game,
Im playing my game.
===========================================================
Unforgivable Sinner
kinda lose your sense of time cause the days dont matter no more
all the fellings that you hide gonna tear you up inside
you hope she know syou tried
follows you around all day
And you wake up soaking wet
cause between this wared and eternity
there is a face you hope to see
you know where you sent her
you should know where oyu are
you are trying to ease off but oyu know you wont get far
and now she has up there sings like an angel but you cant hear those words
and she has up there sings like an angel
unforgivable sinner
you have beenwalking around in tears
no answers are there to get
you wont ever be the same someone cries and you are to blame
struggling with a flight inside
sorrows you defeat
the pecture you see it wont disappear
not unpleasant dreams or her voice you hear
maybe one time lost but now you are found
stand right up before you hit the ground
maybe one time lost but now you are found
stand right up before you hit the ground
you know where you sent her
you should know where you are you are trying to ease off but oyu knowyou wont get far
and now she has up there
sings like an sngel
but you cant hear those words
and now she has up there sings like an angel
unforgivable sinner
====================================================================
Flown Away
Ive flown too high on borrowed wings
Beyond the clouds and where the angels sings
In a sky containing no one but me
Up theres all empty and down theres the sea
No one here but me
Theres nothing but light
That comes into sight
Theres something up here that makes me wince
And I still got the feelings that Ive felt ever since
I got to this place arrived at last
In front theres the future right back theres the past
Everythings moving so fast
Theres nothing but light that comes into sight
The present like Ive never seen it before
Is this the right place to stay
Please my wings fly me away.
======================================================================
Way We Are
I watch you growing sometimes I see myself in you
It can be scary but kinda funny too
I hear you talking a lot of similarities
Your choice of words and all the fantasies
Just the way we are I guess youve seen it now
A mirror of ourselves sure makes us weird
Falling down from a mountain of frights
Whats there to hold on to?
The way you make us all smile and the despair when you just wont go to sleep
You could have me walking a mile to make you smile still its not really a weep
I know you fooled me a million times
I just cant help it don know why
Just the way we are I guess youve seen it now
A mirror of ourselves sure makes us weird
Falling down from a mountain of frights
Whats there to hold on to?
I know you hate it but they really have to do what they do
Youre crying out your wishes
I understand
Yet they dont have a clue
Just the way we are I guess youve seen it now
A mirror of ourselves sure makes us weird
Falling down from a mountain of frights
Whats there to hold on to?
Falling down from a mountain of frights
Whats there to hold on to?
===============================================================
So I See
So I see it, its right there in front of me
Whats a matter, oh you cannot see
Feeling like I did when you blindfolded me
So I hear it, for a brief moment there I thought I knew
All these things they were far, far from true
But I guess you cannot hide from the truth.
So I see right through you
And I know what youve been up to
So I see right through you
And I know the things you do.
So I see it, its right there in front of me.
Oh, Im sorry,
You did not wanna see
Acting like I did when you betrayed me
So I hear it, they didnt have to scream it in my head
They just could have whispered it instead
Cause I am already over it now.
So I see right through you
And I know what youve been up to
So I see right through you
And I know the things you do.
====================================================================
Maybe I'll Go
You think youve made it everythings going so fine
But then appears someone who wanna
Tear you down
Wanna rip you off those few nice things youve found
When and if you hit the ground.
Then its falling kinda hard
Cause all you do is being yourself
Trying everything to succeed somehow.
But thats not the way things are right now.
Feeling kinda lost.
Those reasons
Those unkind words being expressed
Oh… theyll get to you I promise one day.
But maybe then its too late for you to say
I knew it from the go cause you know
Thats some miles away from the truth.
Dont forget
Hey what do you think of me now
Am I not like I once were
Still if you dont know me
Whats the story of this pen*
I guess youre not a stranger
And I can tell youre not a friend
It might take a while but I guess youll manage waiting till then.
Then when you confront me with your thought
You may think I dont notice dont get a bit hurt by what you do
I ask you to please think of
What Ive done to you.
Please search inside and let me know
If Ive done something wrong I guess Ill go
Far hidden
Never to be found
============================================================
Where I'm Headed
Ive got a suitcase in my hand
Filled with stuff most precious to me
Sidewalk brings my feet
Wherever theyre headed.
There is no directions given
Just some trust in human mind to rely on
And to hold on to.
Honestly dont know where Ill end up at last
Wont even count the days.
One thing I sure know I wont move so fast
My mind in complete haze.
I pass by
Dont dare to stop
When theres someone I see
Theres no one here but me
Im fooled by something inside my head.
If I lay down now
I might seem kinda dead
Just keep on wasting time.
Scary thoughts and frightening sounds
In my mind still I try avoid it
Heading through this hope not one-way alley
I cant really sense my surroundings
Seems to be all dark around.
Nothing there, to lighten up my way.
Honestly dont know where Ill end up at last
Wont even count the days.
One thing I sure know I wont move so fast.
My mind is complete haze.
I pass by
Dont dare to stop
When theres someone I see
Theres no one here but me
Im fooled by something inside my head
If I lay down now
I might seem kinda dead
Just keep on wasting time.
I walk slow in secret
Listening to the sound of steps.
Imagination seems to go all crazy
Ive got all the time I need
Wanna dream fulfil my wishes.
Like this future already now been entered
I pass by
Dont dare to stop
When theres someone I see
Theres no one here but me
Im fooled by something inside my head.
If I lay down now
I might seem kinda dead
Just keep on wasting time.
================================================================
One Year Ago
Shes walking there alone,
No one by her side
She manages to fight the tears, but
The pain inside
She cant hide
And all the tears shes cried
The moment she closes her eyes, she starts
Thinking of you
The dreams that she had one time
Have gone away
Will they ever come true?
All she needs is… all she needs is you
And she wishes today
Was one year ago
When you cared so much for her
And loved her so
Not a doubt in her mind that it would still be you
Cause the love that you shared… it was true
You never thought about it,
What you made her feel
You promised youd stay together,
But the hope she once had… so unreal
All she needs is… all she needs is you
And she wishes today
Was one year ago
When you cared so much for her
And loved her so
Not a doubt in her mind that it would still be you
Cause the love that you shared… it was true
============================================================
Place Nearby
I entered the room
Sat by your bed all through the night
I watched your daily fight
I hardly knew
The pain was almost more than I could bear
And still I hear
Your last words to me
Heaven is a place nearby
So I wont be so far away
And if you try and look for me
Maybe you will find me someday
Heaven is a place nearby
So there is no need to say goodbye
I wanna ask you not to cry
I will always be by your side
You just faded away
You spread your wings you had flown
Away to something unknown
Wish I could bring you back
You are always on my mind
About to tear myself apart.
You have your special place in my heart
Always heaven is a place nearby
So I wont be so far away
And if you try and look for me
Maybe you will find me someday
Heaven is a place nearby
So there is no need to say goodbye
I wanna ask you not to cry
I’ll always be by your side
And even when I go to sleep
I still can hear your voice
And those words
I never will forget
