《A Place Nearby》由来自挪威的女歌手Lene Marlin((琳恩-玛莲)创作并演唱，发行于1999年，这是她的成名作之一。

寂静的夜晚，用心聆听，琳恩细腻干净宛如天籁般的嗓音是如此温柔，又是如此地静谧忧伤。歌词讲述看着心爱的人慢慢地消瘦直到从这个世界消失，突然明白了有一种痛苦叫无能为力，有一种思念竟然无法宣泄，只能祈求有那么一个叫做天堂的地方，愿爱人能在那儿得到安息。波澜不惊的曲调里深藏着无尽的悲伤，不用渲染，不用呐喊，眼泪会悄然滴落脸庞。

生活有欢乐，有阳光，有迷茫，也有悲伤，所有的心情故事，到最后竟全是淡然。

Lene Marlin 1980年出生，挪威音乐创作才女，被称为“挪威小精灵”。
