"Den ständiga resan" was Marie´s musical self-portrait and was written like a diary, containig very personal songs about her life, feelings and relationships. The song "Ett enda liv" was written about a good friend of Marie´s who comitted suicide. When a close friend of Marie´s heard the album, his comment was that it sounded as though she wanted to kill herself.
Marie admitted that the thoughts of suicide had gone through her head at times and assured him that she was not suicidal. Marie wrote both the lyrics and the music herself and even produced the album with Anders Herrlin, as a co-producer.
She wons "Best artist of the year (Den Ständiga Resan)" award.
