book festival randomness

[kattahj]

I've spent the past two days at a book festival here in Lund. The downside is that I get a bit tired during two whole days of lectures and book talks. The upside is that I get to hear lots of authors and other smart people talk about books, and I get paid for it

Fattig bonddräng is one of those songs I find myself singing all the time, and every single time, without doubt, when I get to the last two verses, I always tear up! I saw Tommy Körberg sing it live a few months ago, and oh! He does it so brilliantly. I love the voice he uses for God.

I think it's my favourite Astrid song... Even if I do love Sjung Du Min Dal from Bröderna Lejonhjärta.

I haven't seen Bröderna Lejonhjärta as a film, so my only experience of that song is singing it myself, and it fell a bit flat, I'm afraid.

I think my favourite may be the Wolf Song, but there are a lot of good ones - usually the ones that haven't been sung to death. :-) (Though some of the ickily well known ones are great too, like Mors Lilla Lathund.)

The actual song doesn't start until 2.15 in, or so.

The Wolf Song is gorgeous. All the music from Ronja is, really.

*g* What? You can't possible mean that Ida's Sommarvisa has been overdone?

Mors Lilla Lathund is fun! I have a weakness for Sjörövar-Fabbe, too.

Thanks! *downloads*

Isfält ftw. Though I guess that's a bit mean to say after I've just seen Riedel. (Riedel's great too - I think the songs are much better when he does them himself.)

Well, considering that I still can't get over the thought of a Linderman LKBV vid to it, I probably shouldn't. :-)

Sjörövar-Fabbe is cool! I once heard it played in 3/4, that was fun. (Instead of pam-para-ram-pam pam-pam-paah, it went pam-para-ram pam-pam-pam, if that makes sense.)

That Horowitz story is hilarious!

He was an incredibly funny guy. He also told us at length why baths are scary (the water sneaking up to strangle you, etc), so I think he enjoys freaking people out.
