I admire the people who dare to go after their dreams. Like Lilly here. She’s a great performer, who not only loves writing and singing music, she does it. And she does it well.

When kids are OK
There are so many reasons why I love this clip. First Walk of Earth are super talented (alternative fact/opinion). Ed Sheeran is brutally talented in writing good songs (alternative fact/opinion). But foremost I LOVE the fact that they have one of their (no not that it is everybody’s baby, but someone’s in the group) baby…
Flashback
Facebook presented a clip of new version of an oldie goldie (yes, anything from the 90’s or earlier counts as that). Just as I said when I shared the clip. A good song is always a good song and everything becomes better with age. I loved this song in 1997 and even more in 2017. Gets…
Never settle
This clip comes up over and over again in my Facebook feed. I had a look and I was surprised that I knew so many of the lyrics (especially since I’m tonedeaf). What surprised me even more was how many memories I have to the songs and what feelings and places were connected to them. Parts…
Final episode
So, what are my last favorite songs that I want to share, that have been (are) important to me. I’ll end with two. Both will be played at my funeral. Fame, remember the TV-show? I wanted to be Coco. I just LOVE Irene Cara’s lead song and I do believe there is a hidden statement in it…
Nature and memories
I had to go back to my parents for another round of cleaning out of old stuff (so much crap one saves…). Instead of keeping it all I chose to take som pics. Driving to my parents I also got flabbergasted over nature’s brilliance. To be honest I must have grown up at one of…
This spring’s favourite
This is what I play over and over again in the car going to my customers. The longer commute the better.
The Melody festival
In Sweden the national qualifying for the Eurovision is called “Melodifestivalen”, the Melody festival. As a young girl (as a vast number of girls then and now) I loved the Melodifestivalen. I get very nostalgic (as usual) when I hear old songs and I get surprised how much of the lyrics I know by heart even…
A day filled
After a day with a visit to the theatre for some ballet (watching) I am ending it with watching Westlife’s goodbye consert and am surprised that I know so many of their song’s lyrics…
Cuteness alert
Call me superficial. Call me sexist. But hey, that is me. Here is Thomas Holm, danish musician who (apparently) has made at least one good song (if you, like me like easy going happy pop songs). If easy breezy pops songs ain’t your thing, but cute, beared men are – mute and watch (Scandinavian men do…
To spell happiness
Happiness can be spelled in so many ways. Like : “Finding your product-id for your Office software after you needed to reinstall your computer”. (And here was supposed to be a video from the 90’s of a song with the words “Hapappapy …ppy.. Feel when wee’re together..” But now I spent 30 minutes looking for it…
Music is good for the soul
For me, music is liberating, it goes diectly into my soul and I cry and laugh to it. It doesn’t matter what kind it is, as long as it makes you feel good, it is good. This song makes me feel good, makes me happy: Com’ on peeps, sing out loud and dance!
Today’s words
I’ll keep it short today. This is how I feel. Darn good song to. Once again, the heck with Jante
Proud to be Swedish
There are many reasons to why I am proud to be Swedish. In general Swedes could be better at being proud. This was something I found very liberating when living in the US, to be “allowed” to be proud; over my team, my school, myself etc etc. This time I will share an example of…
All these ladies
Yesterday I stayed up till 03.30 am (we are actually talking about this morning). That it self in an accomplishment. Not frequently occurring. Before that I ate (different oriental dishes) , I drank (wine and water), I danced, I laughed, I cried and I celebrated (the victory of my team’s music quiz especially). This I…
Disappointed
Know what, the best albums of the one and only Mr van Morrison is not available on Spotify. I am talking about; Enlightenment, Hymns to the silence and Too long in exile. I am sure he has his reasons but for me that ain’t good enough. Now I need to go to You Tube.
All you need is…
… music, or really any form of art. But I would say, despite my unexisting musical sense, music is the form of art which, with ease, can bring you to the same level of high, which I believe (without knowing), the substabce abusers are going for. I mentioned this in this post. At the monent…
High on life baby, high on life (and without artificial substances)
Sitting on the train going back to Sweden after a short vacation to fab Copenhagen. The Mr, I and friends went to Robbie Williams’ concert. The Dock’s took the oppertunity for an extra day of vacation and walked about i the warm, WARM danish capital. Once again, just like last year with Coldplay at the…
