'I mine jne' ('In my eyes') is a Danish song by the singer and songwriter Rasmus Seebach from the singer's second album 'Mer' end krlighed'. The single was released on 22 August 2011 with the ArtPeople label as an advance single of the album.
Context
"I mine jne" is about Rasmus Seebach's love for his family. It uses the melody in the chorus from Nicolai Kielstrup's song "Voksevrk" (meaning "growing pains" in Danish) which was a winning song for Kielstrup in Dansk Melodi Grand Prix, as Seebach says the melody of the song co-written by him and others had affected him. "It's a piece of the song I've actually written seven years ago and got stuck in my head ever since I heard it. There is not a week where I have not hummed it. The melody is almost magical to me. I've always wanted to own sing it, and suddenly made sense when I put my own words. I like really much of the song now".
The basic idea for the song came at an Easter party where Rasmus Seebach considered his family and realized how much he loves them, while he was ridden down by guilt. He realized how great it was to have a mother, sister and brother in his life after losing his father Tommy Seebach because of alcoholism.
