| mrbicrevise | Tuesday 20th of September 2005 01:37:58 AM |
| - Let's not forget the dulcet tones of Roxette :D. 'Sverige' is a pretty good Kent song, as is 'Blćjeans' which gave us that classic "Varför fćr jag inte pć mig dina blćjeans?" lyric. | |
| Rikard | Tuesday 20th of September 2005 01:49:43 AM |
| - Well my name does mean "Ruler" or something like that (and by ruler i don't mean [URL=http://www.scanflex.se/images/rontgen/linjal.gif]this[/URL]) | |

| - This thread is interesting, because I love music and I like Swedish music. I listen to many Swedish bands but they tend to sing in English. However, I've been in Sweden last week and bought some Swedish CDs and also the new Lasse Lindh one, singing in Swedish. It has lyrics too, so I guess it's useful. Not for me that I can't speak a word yet. I join you guys, the group of Swedish students! | |
| Psyche | Saturday 08th of October 2005 03:43:31 AM |
| - I also enjoy this topic....I KNEW the title of the topic was just a cover-up, to avoid people to understand what you really are doing in the Swedish forum :p ;) I think "Rikard" means..yes, "rich" and "hard". Hard can be translated to "stone". "Rik" rhymes with....oh no :p lol, sorry, that wasn`t what I meant...lol, I must leave....now :p | |
| Rikard | Saturday 08th of October 2005 05:23:32 AM |
| - Just rub it in will you. Ok, I admit. I didn't really bother to check up what my name mean. I just had a "hunch". Natalie rhymes with barbari :P | |

| - I will not try to recommend any modern artists performing contemporary music, as my fellow Swedes here on phrasebase have already done such a terrific job doing that. Instead I will add some recordings of Swedish music of a different kind that, if for no other reason, may be of interest simply because of the artist who performed on these recordings. Jussi Björling was one of the 20th centurys most sought after tenors in the world, and hailed by many as the foremost tenor of our time. Unfortunately he died young, at an age of 49, but his recordings have become treasured classics that retain their popularity to this very day, 45 years after the great tenor passed away. Before he died Jussi recorded several Swedish folk songs, among others the emotionally powerful and vocally intense Till Havs (To the Sea), which became a sort of trade mark song for him. He also performed Land du välsignade to great acclaim, and his rendition of the well known Christmas song O Holy Night (O Helga Natt, recorded 8 February 1959, and sung in Swedish) remain one of the best ever recorded. Considering Jussi Björlings stature, hardly anyone in Sweden does not know who Björling was, and the wide availability of his recordings both in Sweden and abroad I doubt anyone interested will have any trouble finding these songs. But just to be on the safe side I will write down the address to the Jussi Björling Societys website, where information about Björling and short audio clips of some of his many recordings can be found. It should be possible to view the site both in Swedish and English, but I am not 100% sure of this. Well, good luck! http://www.jussibjorlingsallskapet.com/ Yours sincerely, Nils | |

| - Natalie rimer da alldeles inte pć barbari!!! :p Vet du hva? Rikard rimer pć fjellknaus!!! AHA! *Rikard got severly burned* Oh yeah, I`ve heard about Jussi :p His version of "O Helga Natt" (beautiful Christmas song) is wonderful :) No-one can accuse me of not being on-topic! | |
| Mathieu | Tuesday 15th of November 2005 06:44:10 AM |
| - Hehe, det tade du annars ganska lćngt att utröna det inte gör det :p Hmm *försöker att hitta pć nćnting on-topic*.. nćja.. jag övar lite svenska i alla fall, det är vel vad det här handlar om, eller ;) | |

| - hei people, coming back to the music talk, does anybody knows some punkrock, progressive or 70s/80s rock group in swedish? | |
| Dyluck | Tuesday 22nd of November 2005 04:56:19 AM |
| - Tja, Ebba Grön var väl inte helt sämst :P | |
| klaus | Tuesday 22nd of November 2005 05:16:25 AM |

| Petr | Wednesday 23rd of November 2005 04:09:26 AM |

| - Finding recordings of songs for children would help you learn, too, I think. They're simple and generally pretty slow. I have recordings of Gullefjun (my favorite) and of a song about a troll mother...can't remember the name, though. | |
| Rikard | Monday 05th of December 2005 11:37:07 PM |
| - "Det var en kyckling som hette Gullefjun, som skulle ut pć promenad.... ":D I never did sing that song very often though. But i did sang "När trollmor har lagt sina elva smć barn, och bundit fast dem i svansen.... " :D | |
| Naamah | Tuesday 06th of December 2005 01:47:48 PM |
| - ...dć sjunger hon sakta fär elva smć trollen, de vackraste ord hon känner.... :) | |
| Rikard | Tuesday 06th of December 2005 08:32:09 PM |
| - o aj aj aj aj buff :) | |
| Sharmor | Monday 19th of February 2007 05:47:45 AM |
| - One Swedish song that i love is boten anna by basshunter and another is ti sento by verona. Great songs, dont understand what they are singing about but both songs i can sing along too now seeing as i have listened to them so much. ;) | |
| Rikard | Monday 19th of February 2007 08:59:32 PM |
| - haha. awesome *jag känner en bot, som heter Anna, Anna heter hon...* | |
| Itako | Thursday 26th of April 2007 03:41:36 PM |
| - Since I\'m the strange kid from the block, I recommend old Swedish schlagers, LOL! Got tons of \'em. And it can be a good way to learn to pronounce correctly, or just learn more words in Swedish... :) /Kris, who himself listens to German songs, and has been taught many things, just from songs... | |
| Sharmor | Thursday 26th of April 2007 08:55:12 PM |
| - I dont know of very many Swedish bands. I know a few like abba (who dont sing very often in swedish lol), i know anders johannson who i like but he also sings in english. There is Lena Phillipsson too who does sing in swedish and i like some of her songs. I love the song Boten Anna by Basshunter but thats the only song of theirs i have heard. I am more into rock music which isnt very good to sing too lol. If anyone knows of any really good swedish bands to listen to, tell me here. But you can forget about The Hives cos i think they are awful. Sorry if anyone likes them but thats just not my taste at all lol, but anything else i will consider and i will let you all know if i like them or not lol. | |

| quietspeaker | Friday 27th of April 2007 02:02:45 AM |
| - ...My recommendation [i]frćn andra sidan viken[/i]: the melancholic ballad [i]\"Höstvisa\"[/i] with lyrics (rhymes! I <3 rhymes!) by Tove Jansson and music by some Erna Tauro. Probably various performers. (The only Höstvisa I find on Youtube isn\'t the same song.) | |
| Sharmor | Saturday 28th of April 2007 05:59:20 AM |
| - I have tried searching for these songs but havent been succesful. guess i am looking in the wrong places | |
| xXMrJusticeXx | Friday 06th of July 2007 02:01:35 AM |
| - Hey all! I normally spend my time in the Finnish forums, but I saw this topic and just couldn\'t resist! My favorite band at the moment is from Sweden, and all their songs are in Swedish! Dungen is a psychedelic/folk rock band that just released a new album (Tio Bitar) I dunno if it\'s what you\'re looking for, but I just thought I\'d throw it out there! | |
| parru | Monday 09th of July 2007 07:57:03 PM |
| - tjena, here are some must artists in sweden too: lars winnerbÀcks - tvivel (nÄn sorts pop musiker) svenska akademien (ska/reggea) | |
| Itako | Sunday 05th of August 2007 07:37:17 AM |
| - We have SO many wonderful artist from the 60\'s in Sweden. Personally, I prefer Siw Malmkvist, Danish singer Gitte HÊnning and her Swedish songs, Povel Ramel, Anita Lindblom, Towa Carson, Lill-Babs, Alice Babs, Kirsti Sparboe (of course her Swedish hits!), and so so so many more! ;) But when it comes to \"new\" music, who can resist Nanne Grönvall? :) | |

| - Cultural note on this - the song is from the collection \"Fredmans epistlar\" by Carl Michael Bellman. Many of his songs are well-known, many Swedes know them by heart, others are less known. \"Fredmans epistlar\" revolves around the clock-maker Fredman, his friends and the environments of his whereabouts (which are not always the most decent). The language is ancient, some words are not generally understood today and others have changed their meaning. | |

In Swedish it is \"Jag hade aldrig hört om honom förut\", or even \"Jag hade aldrig hört talas om honom förut\" You are good, Ulven! | |
