In the original Sarek version, you as musicians will see and hear 2 special instruments. One is nyckelharpa, key fiddle or Swedish harp. It's originating from Uppland, the region north and west of Stockholm. There are key fiddlers in the US as well.
The song is about unconditional love - being there for each other, for better or worse, until death do you part. The song is "folky" in the style of old swedish folkmusic and is played on the keyharp (nyckelharpa), an old medieval swedish instrument. The original song can be viewed here: ua-cam.com/video/Vot_yizcWr4/v-deo.html
Fun fact At 3:29 You can see Tommy mime some words. It is " å vi hatar AIK" translates to and we hate AIK and in swedish it ryhmes with the line just before. . AIK is a swedish sports club that are most know for soccer and icehockey. So Tommy was making a joke of that he hates AIK.. You can see the crossed over club logo on his screen at 4:24 , 5:03 and 5:24.
AIK, the club with the most violent hooligan firm in Sweden, Firman Boys that have affiliations with Hells Angels. One reason why many hate them is Firman Boys that don't hesitate to start trouble even during the matches.
Sarek, the name of the original artists is taken from the name of a national park in the very north of Sweden. The band, as already pointed out, makes some use of old traditional instruments.
I really like that Tommy has such diverse taste .. this would go in my happy.. dancing with my 7 year old -playlist.. and then he has his Gary stuff, his epic stuff , his pop gone metal stuff, his classuc 80 th stuff, his classic rock stuff, the plain goofy and not to forget Disney 😀 .. oh and not least THE LIGHT .. that sort of, kind of ( in my book) has to be put in a category of its own .. can mind blowing be a good label?)
Genom eld och vatten (Through fire and water) by the swedish band Sarek. Sarek are actually a mountain area in North part of Sweden called Lapland with mountains higher than 2,000 metres and almost 100 glaciers. Long, deep, narrow valleys and wild, turbulent waters. A tortuous delta landscape and a high alpine area where the Sami people have lived from time immemorial.
Don’t have to understand it to get the happy feeling of the song. (At least I hope it is). Tommy always looks likes he’s having fun and enjoying himself when he’s singing. Thanks for bringing it here too. 🙏🙏🙏
yeah very lovely song, very beautiful lyrics. Maybe not the best translation, but here is one :) I don't have neither silver nor gold, nothing you can have. What I have is all that you can see.
My hands are empty, but my heart is full of something that you don't see. So I have got something of greater value, nonetheless.
For if you lose courage and fall on your knees, you can rest here by my side. Like a rock in the storm to lean against, and I will never let you down.
I will follow you through fire and water overland and across the ocean. I will love you until my hearts stops beating. From the highest mountain to the deepest of valleys I will go. Through time and through space. Yes, all of my days you will get. And when the winds play on the plains, I will dance with you. If the sun burns, I will cool your skin.

The original is not that much slower. It is quite up-beat for beeing a love-balad so I think it is quite popular at wedding-parties in sweden since it fit with the theme, but isnt so slow other love songs usually are.
It’s a 20 year old song from the Swedish “melodifestivalen”, the competition for representing Sweden in the Eurovision song contest. It’s about love is more than the things you own, he only has his heart to give and that’s all that is needed. It been popular recently because the fans of a Swedish football (soccer) team has added some lyrics (where Tommy mimics) about hate 😢 to another football team (mostly for fun). Tommy don’t hate AIK (the over crossed logo).
Hi this is a lovley song the sceen you se whith a x on is a swedich soocer team kalld AIK, Tommy is miming somting i think he saing. jag hatar AIK= i hate AIK. Ill belive hi is a fan of Hammarby annoder swedich team who hawe done a song whit SAREK. Bye from Sweden.JJ⚽👍
Inte jag... Kan inte säga att jag älskar dem heller... 😁 Föredrar handboll före fotboll. Schysstare attityd bland fansen (även gentemot motståndarsidan) och ingen pyro på läktarna. Tar hellre kidsen med dit än ett fotbollsderby.
I don't understand why americans listen to foreign music.. especially if they don't even understand the lyrics. The only language the (general non-) native american knows is american english.. maybe a little Spanish if they have either Mexican background. But they hardly understand European (or Scandinavian) languages. So this video is probably just one for the views as trying to appeal more viewers to get their X amount of views. I wish I knew this before I clicked this video.

You can enjoy music even if it is in a language you don’t understand. I listen to songs in a lot of others languages than Swedish, English and Spanish. The difference is that the voice is a instrument and gives a feeling from the sound of it instead of the lyrics. For instance opera is often sung in Italian and not many opera lovers knows Italian. And of you listen to metal with a singer that growl the words you can’t hear the lyrics either but the sound is part of the song/sound and you can still enjoy it (if you are into growling).
Tommy actually made a couple of covers in Italian which I don't know that well, since I'm Swedish. I still enjoyed them. I've listened to Spanish, French and Italian singers with pleasure. I also preferred Finlands entry to Eurovision Song Contest this year, singing in Finnish, that I don't understand a word of. (Despite the fact that my own country won that circus.). I also enjoy jojk of Sapmi ( a kind of chant from an area in northern Sweden, Norway, Finland and Russia.)

Loved your Tommy reaction as always 😃😍❤️❤️❤️.
I love hearing his Swedish dialect when he sings in Swedish. It's not obvious in all of the lyrics but in some words.
Love the ä:s in particular ☀️
Tommy brought energy to the song and took it to another level!
Best version hands down 😻
(But I do miss the original versions keyed fiddle ...)
Ah keyed fiddle did not know the english word!
Tommy makes me happy, singing his happy song...
Nice shirt, sister!!

I enjoyed it because it was so UP even if I couldn't understand it. I just love anything Tommy does!😊

I swear that I heard some jojk in the beginning of the song! (Sami "chant" for those who don't know).
Welcome back Sue, it wasn't the same without you. Sorry Wolf. 😁
