I'm Alive - Most played Swede-written song of the decade


Recommended Posts

Posted

Just saw this on both mtv.se and aftonbladet.se, isn't it cool? Queen Celine is number oooone on the list :xmas_biggrin:

 

The articles don't mention anything exciting, but I didn't know this: Andreas Carlsson wrote it for his son William/about his experience of recently having become a father.

I have no clue Matthew. You listen to a song once or twice, and you get a reputation... :giggle:

 

I stay true to the lyrics. And Made me a woman on clouds above is one of my favorite lines from it. :)

my guess would be 'made me a NEW man, on clouds above' :flowers:

 

 

@Frida: What happens on last.fm stays on last.fm. I may have rounded down :whistling:

"Hush, now... I see a light in the sky"

Found some fun information that I think some would like to know, he mentions JJG! :xmas_biggrin:

 

 

 

A rough translation of something Anders writes in his book Live To Win

 

 

 

 

 

"Kristian Lundin and I had fought to be a part of Céline's coming album, and we had a total of three songs that both Céline and the people around her liked. The strongest/most emotional of those I had written directly to my son William about the experience of just having become a dad. This also suited Céline perfectly seeing as she had just become a proud mom of a little son. The musical inspiration for the song came from Jean-Jacques Goldman who was Celine's secret weapon for the French-language albums that sounded completely different from the English ones. They had another warmth and the songs were more liberating and uncomplicated. Jean-Jacques had a way of writing songs that sometimes made the entire song sound like a chorus. [This next part is too "Swedish" to translate, you wouldn't know about the place I'm talking about, but it's a positive comment LOL]. Strongly influenced by Jean-Jacques Goldman we attempted to translate his recipe for Céline into English. The idea for the songs was built up like a mantra where the verse was repeated like a chorus and then end with the title."

Wow, the music inspiration for I'm Alive came from JJG songs??? :xmas_ohmy: Who could have known! I wonder which songs "whith chorus" Kristian is referring to?

 

Thanks for this info Frida, I just love this little stories from past albums :in_love:

Anders :P Edit: See, I did it again! ANDREAS. For gods sake Frida, learn...

 

I have no idea, but I don't think he means someone that's built up that same way, but has that "feel" to it...
