Thank you so much for your reaction. I love this song so much. Ted Gärdestad was a fantastic talented composer, singer and musician. All his songs are as beautiful. Teds older brother Kenneth made most of the lyrics and Ted the music. Ted was "discovered" by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, the ABBA guys, who came to produce Ted’s debute record (Undringar) released on Stikkan Anderson's record label Polar Music in 1972. I think they released 3 more albums too for Ted before they got too busy with the ABBA tours.
Fun facts: Ted Gärdestad was not only a talented composer at young age. He was also a promising tennis player. As a fourteen-year-old guy, he was second in Sweden after his close friend Björn Borg!! 🇸🇪🏸🥇🥈 But Ted put the tennis career on the shelf and invested early in music full-time instead. Ted actually started composing music already at the age of six, and together with his older brother Kenneth, who wrote the lyrics, they recorded their songs on cassette tapes.
So annoying as a Swede when I spot these litersl translations instead of the correct english ones. Blue-eyed for example is what we say in swedish for wide-eyed..
Amazing song by Ted Gärdestad, and Helen Sjöholm is a great singer. Good reaction my friend

You should listen to Ted’s version. Great song. The fact that most of the studio-musicians from ABBA played on his albums makes it even better☺️
Helen does this song A Capella with Solala in her kitchen with whatever they had on the table as instruments.

I remember confusing him with Björn Borg as a kid. They kind of looked like brothers too.
(Guess I don't have to tell I wasn't overly into sports...)
More Ted :]
