Spring has at last come to Sweden! And when it comes, it's with summer temperatures. It's weird, only three weeks ago, there was still some snow left and now I'm walking around in capris. The world is exploding! And it's as miraculous and wonderful as every year. A very typically Swedish (or Scandinavian, I suppose) is that everyone just HAS to be

I ♥ Sweden. :)

Yay! :D

These are two of my favourites - sung by what is probably one of the very best male choruses in the world: Orphei Drängar (from my hometown!).

These are beautiful! :-)

[charlidos]

Yes, aren't they? I'm so glad you agree! :)

Thanks for the songs. I'm listening to Kristallen den Fina now. Looked for some lyrics and a translation, but the one I found doesn't seem to match up. Though there was wooing!

Fun to find someone else who enjoys choral music!

Haven't heard much of the New Pornographers, but Neko Case is part of that group, and is one of my favorite singers pretty much ever. I'll be going to at least one of her concerts this summer. (If I get off my duff to buy tickets)

I love choral music! And I'm glad you found some translations. I thought of translating myself, but the lyrics are old-fashioned, so it's not evident how to do it...

I have to check Neko Case out! I love her voice. She's was very adorable too. :D

Hah--figured it out! The lyrics were right for the song, but I had accidentally clicked the other song to listen to. Go me.

The only thing about Valborg I really like is the male choruses. Despite this I have no cds with that kind of music so I'm definitely snagging both of these. Thank you so much!

This album with OD is absolutely essential for spring, believe me! It's terrific.
