Let’s pause for a while. It’s time for a proper Thank you.

To Håkon Dalen, Ørjan Saur, Rune & Sverre Leraand for getting a band going back in 2008. For the kids in Volda for rooting for the one man band that was Soup back in 2005. To Brygga studio for the courtesy through the years, especially during the times of finishing the Bernays album. To all our families, and especially Liv Aastad for finance and continuous support, and Stein Grüber for inspirational feedback throughout the years. To Roar Johannessen and his daughter Line Ira for making connections, networking, booking and promoting, and for making friends with Hans Magnus Ryan, who in turn helped produce the e.l.b. Album, ambassadeuring Soup on through the 10’s. To Anders Langfjæran for coming on board after Håkon Dalen as our work-for-free sound engineer. Idealist and true legends -helping out with tech stuff, therapeutic stuff, live stuff, studio stuff and friend stuff. People like that are hard to come by, just like our friend/booker/manager Rob Palmen who set us up with our european live tours, and Torgeir Lund at our label who keeps on pushing our albums to people we don’t even know (ah, and Piotr at InoRock for getting a different ball rolling). To all the drummers who auditioned, came and went, or joined as temps; those snare hits were never in vain; Kim, Vomit, Pål Tore, Thomas, Oddbjørn & Sverre. To Per and the Spiders, thanks for the ride. To Paul Savage and the Remedies crew; all the kind people in Namsos (hi, Bård Ole), and in Glasgow; Emma, Ben and Chem19 - truly appreciate the inflatable mattress, the food and the friendship. To Christian Obermayer at Strype Audio for revising and mastering Soup stuff for over a decade; you’re a patient prince. To the bookers, venues and labels we’ve crossed paths with over the years; every gesture of courtesy brought value (Terry Middleton; now there’s a noble piece of humanity). To the journalists who caught on to the Soup sound early on (Catharina my love). To every helping hand at Fosen county; thanks for joining in on our vision. To Erik Paulsen, Lasse Kalevi, Kofen, Trond Morset, Terje Hallan and all our resourceful helpers; you’ve saved us more than once. To Lars Hyldmo who stepped up on short notice to customise a flight case, and to every fellow musician who stopped by to borrow or let us borrow stuff -that’s the joint spirit we’re all part of. This goes for our local community in Trondheim too, without whom we would’ve never achieved much. To Lasse Hoile, who -back in 2005 became the first official soup fan after hearing My Justine online (r.i.p. Myspace), and came along as a long term collaborator; it’s hard to know soup without knowing Lasse, and that’s the way we like it. Love u bro. To the local music store who, at least before going completely K-Mart plug-in-mp3-conversion style, was a cornerstone in the development of local talent and young bloods. To Kostas, Orcan and Burak for taking us on our MediterrAsian adventure, a trip we’ll always remember. To the loyal followers who keep informing us about Soup’s impact on their lives; kinda didn’t see that coming when first starting out. To all we might’ve forgotten; you know who you are, and you know we do too.
Thank you.

It’s been a fine ride.
