Alone With Shadows – Official Music Video Out Now
Some songs stay with you — both as a listener and as an artist.
Alone With Shadows is one of those songs.
Since its release in the fall of 2024, it has become my most streamed track, and it’s moved me deeply to see how many of you have listened, shared, and connected with its mood and lyrics.
It’s a song about being stuck in the darkness after a betrayal. About longing for safety while still haunted by shadows of the past.
And now — finally — it has a music video to go with it.
A visual story about grief, trust, and longing
The video is a visual extension of the world inside the song.
It’s a journey into the quiet, the fragile, and the dreamy. A space where electronics and emotions blend together, where the night feels endless, and hope exists only as a whisper.
I didn’t want to create a video that explains the song, but one that feels it.
There’s no clear storyline — just moods, light, movement, and a voice singing from a heart that’s still beating, even when it’s broken.
“Alone with shadows, wishin’ on broken stars…”
– from the chorus of Alone With Shadows
What is the song about?
With its melancholic electronic sound, swing-inspired rhythm, and dreamy vocal performance, the song explores the feeling of being alone, even when you long for connection. It touches on betrayal, fear, longing, and the slow process of learning to hope again.
I wrote Alone With Shadows as a kind of internal monologue. It’s vulnerable — but there’s also a quiet strength in saying things out loud, even when they hurt.

If you’ve ever felt alone in the dark — if you’ve been in that place where you long for light but don’t quite believe in it — I hope this video will speak to you.
Please feel free to share it with someone who might need it.
Thank you for listening, feeling, and sharing this moment with me.
With love,
Mathilde Toft
