- I listened to "Om" for the first time. Here's my reaction.
Here's the Spotify playlist of all of the reactions I've done: open.spotify.com/playlist/5Dz... - Розваги

This genre is vispop. Like many similar songs - with strong poetic lyrics, a melodic chorus and a clear connection to traditional music - it’s very popular in Sweden. Niklas Strömsted is very good at it. Listen to his ”Sista morgonen”, that’s a classic.
Seconded!
Best swedish ballad ever i you ask me...
OMG, I've never listened to this song enough before to notice they completely change up the bassline in the last choruses. The bassline is a big part of this song, IMO. Very underrated.
This song is so good and the production is outstanding. Per Lindvall (ABBA) on drums and Jonas Isacsson on guitar/mandolin. He played with Roxette.
The chorus is, imo, an epically poetic description of what it feels like to be completely in love with someone.
I think it's a strength with many swedish songwriters. The ability to describe feelings and experiences in a poetic way that makes the listener reflect and nod in recognition.
Maybe you should try and translate part of some lyrics for your English speaking audience.
I'll have a try here and you correct me if there's a better way to convey the message of the lyrics ☺
Chorus:
"If you were a sea, I would be a wave,
If you were heaven, I would have wings,
If you were a rain, I would be the land and sea,
If you were music, I would be a song,
If you were the plains, I'd want to be the wind,
But I wouldn't be anything if you weren't there. "
I really enjoy your videos!
Keep them coming, please 😍🙏
This Norwegians all time favorite Swedish Pop song, when this came out I had that on full every time I listened to music for a long time. I still repeat this one quite often.
Thank you, Finally a Strömstedt song! It’s hard to find something more Swedish than this… 👍
Vad vore måndag morgon utan Jonathan Rollins och gamla härliga klassiker!
Thankyou so much Jonathan for doing this song for me! I kind of knew you would like it and I was right! 😊
Niklas has said in an interview that when he had written this song he got this feeling of "yes, this is it, this is a hit" and he was right. Niklas has written so many great songs, both for himself and for other artists.
Thanks again! ❤️
Heard Niklas in an interview say this is his best song.
Here are some of my favourites:
Robyn - Call your girlfriend
Jacob Hellman - Vara vänner
Mauro Scocco - Sarah
You should do "Sista Morgonen", it is one of the best with Strömstedt.
Agree!
@@susannes7023 Definitely 'Sista morgonen'.
"Förlorad igen" is on the same level imo.
Japp, hans genombrottslåt.
I think that GES never was meant to be anything more than a short project.
So true. They came together to do "När vi gräver guld i USA" for the football championship and thanks to the great success for the swedish team, that song grew so big. And thanks to that, they continued for a while longer.
@@susannes7023 Alla 3 hade stora solokarriärer innan de gick ihop till GES. Så det var inte så att de ”splittrades” direkt.
Likadant med triad som han va i
Triad var en helt annan sak, det var en riktig grupp där Niklas var med och han var inte särskilt känd innan dess. Triad splittrades på grund av att medlemmarna hade olika syn på vilken typ av musik de skulle göra. Niklas stora genombrott som soloartist kom först efteråt, med några av de låtar han skrivit för Triad men som ratades av gruppen. Sista morgonen var en av dessa låtar.
I'm sort of surprised that you said he had two songs charting at the same time. Since pretty much every song from that album charted, it felt like half the songs on the swedish chart at that time was his..
And I agree with those others that have said you should do "Sista morgonen" also. That one is really classic and we haven't had any vemod lately, I know you need your fix. :)
A great song by Mr Strömstedt
Can't wait for next song. It was one of my favorite when I was a child.
Please listen to markoolioo his music videos is so good and the songs are to me real classics!
Texten!!
om du var ett regn vore jag land o hav...
om du vore vidderna ville jag va vinden.
så djävla vackert!!
En av Niklas Strömstedts stora styrkor, att skriva fantastiska texter.
Du ger en röst till min känsla till varför något är bra. Jag tror det är därför det är så intressant att se dina reaktioner! Keep up the good work!
He was also in Triad and wrote your favourite Swedish Christmas song, Tänd ett ljus.
Vart du än går is actually my favorite Strömstedt song. He wrote it when his first son was born. Typ vart du än går så kommer jag alltid att finnas där.
My suggestion is one of, in my opinion, Swedens best singers. Peter Jöback. The epic Guldet blev till sand from the musical Kristina från Duvemåla or Stockholm inatt.
Thanks for the reaction and thanks for the warning! Now I don't have to listen to 'Yeah Yeah Wow Wow' again. Haha! ;D
"Lill Lindfors - Du är den ende" vore trevligt om du kunde göra.
How abaut Tomas Ledin? His most famous song is "Sommaren är kort" but my favorite song from him is "I natt är jag din".
Ja, det är märkligt att han är helt snubbed so far...
Great choice Jonathan!😁 na na na na na..
“Got two championship’s tho?” 🤣🤣🤣Y are the best!!!
Jag skulle vilja se dig reagera till "Förlorad Igen" med Niklas Strömstedt, den är riktigt bra, melankolisk (som vi svenskar gillar), men riktigt bra.
One funny thing is to react how Martin sounds now during his artist name Nina Rochelle, its sucha big difference to du är så yeah yeah wow wow.
Roger Pontare - När Vindarna Viskar Mitt Namn
Snook - Mr Cool. Gooooo man! You won't be disappointed.
It's on the list
Listen to the most iconic (I believe) Nicklas Strömstedt song; “Den sista morgonen”
What is your definition of a “banger”
Video 5 av att fråga jonathan att reagera på mannen I den vita hatten (16 år senare), av kent. Deras allra bästa låt när fansen själva fick rösta :)
Bra reaktion, Strömstedt är bäst! :)
❤️❤️
You should do ”En kvinna och en man” by Strömstedt and Anne-Lie Rydé! Extremely powerful!
Yes, I agree. A duet that's a REAL duet for sure!
That is a Nice song/duet
You might wanna check out Mauro Scocco's band Ratata and the song Glad att det är över.
who the freak suggested he do Martin next? Lol.
Well, THAT was not me, promise... But I guess it is a classic because it is so bad. 😆
This channel is about exploring the good AND bad of classic swedish songs, we may not like it but it's for the greater good! xD
GES was a collab project
You have to listen to När löven faller by Carola and Diamanter by Lustans Lakejer
Hey more Imperiet. The only one you did was an cover of an old song. Imperiet is much better than that.
Om livet var en tävling i hur många insinuationer på sex man kan göra så hade lätt en av GESarna vunnit!
Top fyra, utan inbördes ordning, hade varit Glennmark, Orup, Strömstedt och Ledin.
Tidiga Gyllene Tider som bubblare...
Glöm inte "Främling" med Carola. Och "Sommaren är kort" med Thomas Ledin".
WHO recommended Yeah Yeah, Wow Wow?????? 😂😂🤣
You said it! Hes whispering at first then it builds up. Of course it's about loving someone special. I'm sure we are talking about a sex act that is leading towards the orgasm . . .
Bara kom, håll mig vaken inatt
Vi är kvar
Vi är tiden som går
Du och jag
Vi gör det igen när morgonen kommer
Alla kanske inte är fullt lika besatta av sex som du dock?
Dear Jonathan! I love you, but please höj volymen på dina videos. The sound is good just a little bit tystare än alla andra so if someone like me put your videos in a playlist like ”titta senare/watch later” the sound is väldigt mycket lower then the other videos. Thank you
Du borde lyssna på Eric Gadd, tex. "There she goes"
Lyssna gärna på Stiftelsen- vart jag än går
Do another react when you have learned swedish. I get the feeling from your reaction that you have no idea what the song is about. Maybe i'm wrong, but you never mentioned the lyrics, and that's a strong part of this song.
GES didn’t split up because they were 3 divas not getting along
They were in the middle off a project were they and band members from 2 other popular Swedish groups were playing together for the first time.
During this project Nicklas was asked to write the official song for VM-94 (Sweden winning the bronze medal definitely made the song more popular)
Orup and Glenmark really wanted to be part of it and Nicklas said yes.
After touring, writing, producing and releasing new songs as GES they just wanted to return to there own careers.
Orup Ed Nicklas Strömstedt och Anders Glenmark are still to this day, really good friends. Trough the yers they have played and made music together. 2017 and 2019 the had a reunion and they released new music
www.ges.se/historien-om-ges/
Last summer they were all 3 off them among the artists in the tv show “Så mycket bättre”
Absolutely worth watching!!
Du borde reagera på Dj Mendez och låten razor tounge. En klassiker enligt mig. 😁
Please do Ronny & Ragge: Snälla Rara Söta Anna!🙏
Hahaha, ooooh nooo! 😆😆😆
@@susannes7023 Kult delux ju. Ragge for Primeminister!😄
@@Daniel-Tilli På sitt sätt, ja absolut. Problemet är ju att för att uppskatta låten så måste man ju förstå hela grejen med karaktärerna Ronny och Ragge, vilket jag tror kan vara svårt när man inte upplevt den eran. Låten står ju inte riktigt för sig själv. Det är som att vi skulle köra Man ska ha husvagn eller Jag vill ha en synth, underbara låtar men så förknippade med sitt sammanhang att det blir jättekonstigt för en utomstående.
@@susannes7023 Han läser dock alltid på om artisternas bakgrund. Och han vet nog rätt bra vad raggarkulturen innebär redan.
Det gäller att du kan svenska ;)
Nordman - Vandraren
Tror han har gjort den redan
@@susannes7023 Tack!👍
Trallvänlig är vad den är
I searched your videos for Orup, but it does not seem that you have listened to a pure Orup song.

ua-cam.com/video/SckK7fLpcgI/v-deo.html
Upp över mina öron has been done. But no pure Orup as far as I've seen. I think "Från Djursholm till Danvikstull" is his best.
@@susannes7023 If I am going to list a song here as a Swedish classic the basic requirement for myself is that I have at least heard it before.
ua-cam.com/video/ti2esa_ZCM4/v-deo.html
Stockholm och Magaluf är bäst. Regn hos mig trea.
En ännu bättre låt av Niklas är "Halvvägs till framtiden", lite mer vuxet perspektiv på livet, om du vill lyssna på mer av honom.
Triad tänd ett ljus, inte dålig och inte bra, samma changer ges grej
Men hela skivan om e en guld, bra lyric text m.m.
