RIP Svenne..
Nu tändas tusen juleljus, is a Christian traditional Swedish language Christmas song, written in 1898 by the Swedish song text writer Emmy Köhler (both text and melody). Translated into English, the title literally means "Now are lit a thousand Christmas candles". The theme of the song is the gospel of the newborn Christ and specifically its aspects of domestic harmony and inner peace, brought by the lights of candles as well as of the stars above, most importantly the star of Bethlehem. It was one of the most popular Christmas songs in Sweden during the 20th century, in churches, homes and schools. Swedish pop singer Agnetha Fältskog recorded the song on her album "Nu tändas tusen juleljus", named after the song, with her daughter Linda Ulvaeus.
Nu tändas tusen juleljus
på jordens mörka rund
och tusen, tusen stråla ock
på himlens djupblå grund
Och över stad och land i kväll
går julens glada bud
att född är Herren Jesus Krist
vår Frälsare och Gud
Du stjärna över Betlehem
o, låt ditt milda ljus
få lysa in med hopp och frid
i varje hem och hus!
I varje hjärta armt och mörkt
sänd du en stråle blid
en stråle av Guds kärleks ljus
i signad juletid!

New single from Benjamin Ingrosso's out now!
Track #6 of his latest EP "Benjamin's - 2023".
"I Had It All And Let It Go"
I had it all and let it go
I'm a man who's come to know
The loving warmth that he remembers
As having come from dying embers
The images that I recall
Perhaps they don't resemble yours at all
I spoke too loud, I ran too fast
Until you gave up at last
And it hurts to know
I had it all and let it go
Now all our friends know that you're gone
They're telling me, life must go on
They ask me out and I say never
I have no interest whatsoever
Cause I'm a bore who may as well
Stay locked inside his dreary prison cell
The perfect place for such a fool
Without you my life is cruel
And it hurts to know
I had it all and let it go
I guess I'll learn to live again
And I'll find a way to cope and then
As if it wasn't all about you
I'll meet the world again without you
Those dizzy heights, I call it bliss
And now to cope is all there is
Oh god, dear god, I miss you baby
It hurts to know
I had it all and let it go
Björn & Benji : I Had It All and Let It Go

I’m a Bitch When I See Red Lyrics
Well, I've washed your laundry
And I've ironed your shirts
Putting up with being
Only the wife
While you did your thing
And never let me live my life
I've listened to your problems
And I've waited up
With your dinner getting cold
'cause I was stupid enough
To think together
We'd grow old
And now you've found
Another woman
And she's better than me
In oh so many ways
I was your mother, your friend
And all I'm getting is
A slap in the face
So you find her more exciting
Well, I think you've lost your head
And I plan to keep on fighting
I'm a bitch when I see red
She's got style, you say
And she's never ever
Boring or plain
And compared to me
She's all caviar and champagne
And she's always willing
To fulfill your needs
With an urge that never fails
She's never got a headache
And she's never got broken nails
So you find her more exciting
Well, I think you've lost your head
And I plan to keep on fighting
I'm a bitch when I see red

So with her at last you're living
And with me it's dull and dead
Well, I won't be all forgiving
I'm a bitch when I see red
When the novelty's
Wearing off
Where d'you think
You're gonna be
When you find she wants
A home and kids
Just like me
When she finds
You're not the man
She thought you were
But a liar and a cheat
I can hardly wait
My revenge will be so sweet
So you find her more exciting
Well, I think you've lost your head
And I plan to keep on fighting
I'm a bitch when I see red
So you say your love has faded
And you're taking that woman instead
I'm insulted and degraded
And I tell you, I see red#abba2shay #abba

Sweden celebrates its National Day (nationaldag) on 6 June !
Tack Sverige för allt vackert som finns att se
Tack Sverige, du har fått oss att kunna le
Gröna skogar, himmel blå, det finns så mycket man kan få
Tack Sverige, vi kan nog aldrig resa från vårat land
Lyssna på fåglarna, hör sen på trädens sus
Titta, där växer rosorna
Där går ett kärlekspar, vad det är underbart
Att kunna vara fri
Tack Sverige för allt vackert som finns att se
Tack Sverige, du har fått oss att kunna le
Gröna skogar, himmel blå, det finns så mycket man kan få
Tack Sverige, vi kan nog aldrig resa från vårat land
Jag ser en flicka le åt någonting hon ser
Jag hör en kyrkas klockor slå
Stunden är inne nu, de ska bli man och fru
Redan hörs orgelns toner
Gröna skogar, himmel blå, det finns så mycket man kan få
Tack Sverige, vi kan nog aldrig resa från vårat land

Happy Birthday Agnetha today April 5 :)
full song here https://youtu.be/_AAy3mMknL4
Touching song from her 1971 album När en vacker tanke blir en sång, (When a Beautiful Thought Becomes a Song)
hit CC For subtitles
Sången föder dig tillbaka (song that brings you back)
(Agnetha Fältskog / Börje Carlsson)
När ödet gjorde slut på sagan
Grät jag som alla andra barn
Nattens stjärna lyste svag
Ingen morgondag för evigt.
Jag gömde mig i sorg och klagan
Tills nån slog an en välkänd ton
I en sång jag gav till dig
Så kommer du till mig som förut.
Refräng:
Sången föder dig tillbaka
Minnen slår ut i blom
Jag ser en kort sekund ditt leende
Ett ljus när världen känns tom.
Sången föder dig tillbaka
Och allt vi gav varann
Den tänder fjärran sköna bilder
Av tider som försvann.
Varm vänskap ger oss ljuva minnen
Dom som blir kvar går mest i dur
Formar sig till harmoni
Och blir en symfoni av tankar.
Refräng
Den tänder fjärran sköna bilder
Av tider som försvann.

Agnetha Fältskog - Som ett eko
Lyrics By – Stig Anderson
Music By – Alberto Morina, Giulio D'Ercola
How time still chases our years
Vad tiden ändå jagar våra år
When winter comes, you think it was just spring
När vintern kommer tycker man det nyss var vår
For a short time we are young
En kort tid är vi unga
If we can dance, we can sing
Får vi dansa får vi sjunga
Then we remember a song
Sen minns vi någon sång
It was once
Det var en gång
Like an echo like an echo I from days long ago
Som ett eko som ett eko I från dagar för länge sen
Like an echo like an echo I can hear your voice again
Som ett eko som ett eko kan jag höra din röst igen
I remember you waving happily
Jag minns dig vinka glatt
And have to smile when I hear your laugh
Och måste le då jag hör ditt skratt
Like an echo like an echo just an echo
Som ett eko som ett eko blott ett eko
Our world is constantly changing and so are we
Vår värld förändras ständigt liksom vi
And with express speed the years rush by quickly
Och med expressfart rusar åren snabbt förbi
But the heart has its own story
Men hjärtat har sin saga
It cannot banish years
Den kan inga år förjaga
You might remember a friend
Man kanske minns en vän
A long time ago
För länge sen
Like an echo like an echo I from days long ago
Som ett eko som ett eko I från dagar för länge sen
Like an echo like an echo I can hear your voice again
Som ett eko som ett eko kan jag höra din röst igen
I remember you waving happily
Jag minns dig vinka glatt
And have to smile when I hear your laugh
Och måste le då jag hör ditt skratt
Like an echo like an echo just an echo
Som ett eko som ett eko blott ett eko
La
La
I remember you waving happily
Jag minns dig vinka glatt
And have to smile when I hear your laugh
Och måste le då jag hör ditt skratt
Like an echo like an echo just an echo
Som ett eko som ett eko blott ett eko
