History [link]

Bella Center takes its name from Bellahøj in northern Copenhagen where the convention centre was first situated. Its first building was constructed in 1965 to the design of architect Erik Møller. In 1973-75, Bella Center was moved to its current location on Amager between the city centre and Copenhagen airport, while the original building was converted into a sports center under the name Grøndals Centret.[1] At this stage, Bella Center's new premises were located in an undeveloped area outside the city on the former Amager Commons. With the development of Ørestad, as decided in 1992 with construction start from around the turn of the millennium, Bella Center's surroundings are in the process of changing into a dense urban area. When the M1 line of the Copenhagen Metro opened in 2004, it was with a station named for the Bella Center located next to it.

Swan Song

by: Pleasantry

You are, you are,
You are my shining moonlight.
Your voice; it sounds,
It sounds like a song I used to sing.
The leaves, they fall,
They fall like teardrops from your eyes.
I know, I know,
I know something isn't right.
The book we wrote,
Leaving a trace of memories.
These words I read
I can no longer comprehend.
The truth, the lies;
Where do we draw the fine line?
You knew, but why?
Of all those hearts you could break.
This hurt; it burns,
Burns through the silence of the night.
You're gone, you're gone.
Forever has a number.
Au revoir, au revoir.
So long my shining moonlight.
Au revoir, au revoir.
So long my shining moonlight.
I'll never know what you don't know.
We'll never know what they don't know.
