Svensk Musik...

11 12. I take one of the many breaks from studying today. Swedish music. My favorite Swedish songs. The order is random.
Thousands thanks to Sara for telling me about many of them.
Here we go... Enjoy!

Lars Winnerbäck...My favorite Swedish masculine voice... and I associate him with, probably, the one that has the smallest connection with Lars. I bet he does not even know about him. I cannot even remember when I made the connection...



Melissa Horn... I will always associate her with drawing for the simple reason that every time I went to the Scribling Society http://vscribbling.blogspot.com/ I could hear her singing slowly...



Joakim Thåström...A Swedish friend considers him the best Swedish voice. He is almost right...I see myself in the lyrics of this song...



Lisa Ekdahl... The first Swedish singer I listened to during Swedish classes in Romania. This song obsessed me for a long time. My room mates last year loved it, even if they had no idea what the lyrics expressed...



Kent...A successful Swedish band from Eskilstuna, the city I go to every week for my Literature courses. The members of the band were students of my Swedish University. My favorite Swedish band...



Thorleifs...According to Sara this is typical Swedish music for parties...



Ted Göderstad... Swedish girls love him... I see the entire Sweden in this song...and I imagine myself at the seaside...



Robert Broberg... His song reminds me of my wandering in the wonderful city of Stockholm...



Sommartider... I my opinion one of the most loved song by Swedish people... Just because they adore summer and the sun...



Kung för en dag... I will finish the list in a happy mood. This song makes me think of a Dutch friend. Long live Spotify. this song was in his Party Playlist. Indeed party!
Jag vill vara drottning i baren!

8 o'clock Evening Walk


During the winter I did not expect to see such a beautiful spring in Sweden. The mountains of snow prevented me from imagining everything green and colourful. But the miracle came and this is how Sweden looks like in may at 8 in the evening!

Countryside Tools ...


I used to see all these things when I was a child and I was spending my summer holidays in the countryside with my grandparents.

Now, years later, I came to Sweden and I see them again. Time flies and so does my mind... Back to the past...







Hen at the Museum

Since the day when we went to the museum it was raining heavily the only animals we could see were hen. So proud of themselves I would say!







Friluftsmuseum in Västerås


The museum was built in 1921 in order to show how people used to live in the Västmansland in the past. One can see different types of houses, animals, tools that were used during those times.

Skolfängelsen i Västerås

This used to be a prison for students and teachers that disrespected the school laws in the 18 th century. Now it is just an open garden..
