Jag tjuvstartade min semester i onsdags med Tiveden-resan, men nu är semestern på gång på riktigt. Den Stora Resan som jag planerat sedan februari! Planen är att åka till Nikkaluokta och spendera en vecka vid Kebnekaise och i Tarfala. Innan dess blir det lite vandring i Härjedalen och så det som var dagens stora mål…

Jag säger det på en gång. Jag älskar Melodifestivalen. Jag har älskat Eurovision Song Contest så länge jag minns, och Sverige är ju det lovade landet när det gäller just ESC. Naturligtvis är de sex lördagskvällarna med delfinaler, andra chansen och finalen de bästa kvällarna av året. Ja förutom de tre kvällarna i maj med…

Jag har en teori. Alla vi har en låt som är en avbildning av oss. Varje person har sina favoritlåtar, låtar som på ett eller annat sätt tilltalar oss. Det är kanske att vi kan känna igen oss i en låt. Vi kan relatera oss till en låt. Några låtar som har en rytm som…

Song: Over the Hills and Far Away Artist: Gary Moore Year: 1987 I bet you didn’t see this coming! Neither did I, until three years ago. I had first heard this song on the old Finnish TV show ”Levyraati” where five panel members reviewed new singles. Back in those days, it was one of the very few…

Song: Woman in Chains Artist: Tears for Fears (with Oleta Adams) Year: 1989 Woman in Chains is another one of those famous exceptions. Just like Nobody’s Hero, it carries a message that is unfortunately still very topical, even now almost 30 years later. There has been improvements, but there is no real gender equality, not even in countries…

Song: Nobody’s Hero Artist: Rush Year: 1993 For many many years, I held Nobody’s Hero as the best song I had ever heard. If I’d made this list 3 years ago, you’d find it in the #1 spot. Unfortunately this is a song that will drop even further down in the list in the future,…

Song: Memories Artist: Within Temptation Year: 2004 In my youth, I followed a lot of artists. With my biggest favourites, I was a bit of a collector – I needed to get every album and single they ever released. But the older I got, the more I moved from listening to artists to listening to…

Song: Ne Lui Dis Pas Artist: Fredericks Goldman Jones Year: 1994 I first heard of Fredericks Goldman Jones when they released Nuit in 1990. It has got to be one of the slowest songs I’ve ever heard and I need to be in the right mood to listen to it. You need a little bit…

Song: Carnival of Rust Artist: Poets of the Fall Year: 2006 I debated for a long time with myself if I should include this song on the list or not. I said that everything older than 5 years qualifies, but the first time I heard this song was in 2013. In the end I couldn’t…
