While leading Bifrost, Lundén also wrote the 1976 protest song "I kan ikke slå os ihjel" (translated: "You Cannot Kill Us") as an anthem for the revolutionary hippie commune of Christiania.{{cite news | first=Henrik | last=Vesterberg | url=http://ibyen.dk/musik/article340487.ece | title=Sangene kan de i hvert fald ikke slå ihjel |trans-title=At Least the Songs Can't Be Killed | language=Danish | newspaper=Politiken | date=11 July 2007}} Founded in 1974.
