      'Die Mauer', the song that first reveals what an amazing voice Thåström has, and the FACT, as I see it, the best voice EVER to express PAIN.
      I have heard that the guys in the group 'Imperiet', where Thåström was the vocalist, didn't like it at all, but IMPERIETs version of 'Märk hur vår skugga'... WOW! His voice cuts in the soul.
      And last but not least, Joakim Thåström singing Evert Taube's 'Briggen Blue Bird av Hull'. I cry every time I hear him singing that one.

    Ebba Grön was the most succesfull of swedish punk rock bands of the 70's and 80's, most of their lyrical and melodical talents and the fact their music wasn't the most hard core.
    Metallica covered this song at a live concert in Gothenbourgh...I belive it was at 2017 or 2018.

    I would like to hear your reaction to Imperiets or Cornelis Vreeswijk version of, "Märk hur vår skugga". It´s an very old song written by Carl Michal Bellman, also known as Fredmans epistel No 81. It´s an very grim sad song about an funeral of some one. The lyrics in it might sound a little bit od that is because some word is old Swedish or borrowed words from other lounges. With my Regards to you

    "The Capital raises the rents,
    the State raises living subsidies,
    that way you can get around,
    the iron-clad minimum wage law.
    You can even pay lower wages,
    than the price of food and rent,
    because the State will happily subsidize,
    if the costs of living have become too high!
    Side by side,
    together they help each other out,
    the State and the Capital,
    they sit in the same boat,
    But they aren't the ones rowing, rowing so the sweat is pouring,
    and the bite of the whip,
    doesn't bite into...their fat necks!
    The task of the school is, as it should be,
    to train the working force,
    if the brooms are to sweep well,
    you must not cheap out on the sticks.
    Grades and quotas and test programs,
    is a system made to separate,
    the wheat from the chaff and bring each and everyone,
    to their proper corral!
    Side by side,
    together they roam the land,
    the State and the Capital,
    two wolves as gentle as lambs,
    But they aren't the ones rowing, rowing so the sweat is pouring,
    and the bite of the whip,
    doesn't bite into...their fat necks!
    The pace is raised at the machines,
    here's where you drill the elite,
    production has no place for those,
    who have been worn and beaten.
    But so that nobody believes there's anything wrong,
    with the heavy work loads,
    he is seen as fallen sick and treated,
    by the merciful Medicaid!
    Side by side....aahhh!"
    Mostly word for word, with some "poetic license". For instance, I used "Medicaid" (which of course doesn't exist as such in Sweden) in place of the more literal translation "worker healthcare". Similarly, I translated the Swedish "lönelagen", "wage law", to "minimum wage law", since that should be more familiar to Americans or those familiar with US culture.
    Some phrasings where changed as inspiration struck, e.g. "together they roam the land" to sort-of rhyme with "gentle as lambs", rather than the more literal "together they roam forth".

    The State and Capital
    Capital raises the rents,
    and the state the housing allowance
    So one can cheat a little crumb
    with the iron wage law
    And pay even less in wages
    than the price for food and rent
    Because the state runs better,
    if the cost of living goes
    even higher

    Side by side, they help each other out
    The state and capital sit in the same boat
    But they aren’t the one’s rowing
    Rowing so the sweat is dripping
    And the whip that tickles, doesn’t tickle
    their fat necks either

    The charge of the schools is as it should
    to teach the working class
    If the brooms are going to clean properly
    you can’t neglect the handle
    Barriers and quotas and standardized tests,
    it’s a system made to separate
    The wheat from the chaff and move everyone
    to their rightful home

    Yes, side by side, together they push forward
    The state and capital, two wolves in sheep's clothing
    But they aren’t the one’s rowing
    Rowing so the sweat is dripping
    And the whip that tickles, doesn’t tickle
    their fat necks either

    Side by side, they help each other out
    The state and capital sit in the same boat
    But they aren’t the one’s rowing
    Rowing so the sweat is dripping
    And the whip that tickles, doesn’t tickle
    their fat necks either

    The tempo is raised by machines,
    here we drill the elite
    Production doesn’t have a place for the one
    who has become threadbare
    But so that no one thinks there is anything wrong
    with the heavy piecework
    He is put on disability and taken care of by the compassionate unemployment office

    Yes, side by side, together they push forward
    The state and capital, two wolves in sheep's clothing
    But they aren’t the one’s rowing
    Rowing so the sweat is dripping
    And the whip that tickles, doesn’t tickle
    their fat necks either

    No, no, no you should have played the original with the Blue Train. Not Ebbas Grön's predictable cover. The Blue Train's "One hand knows what the other is doing" has a certain meaning. Wallenberg, the greatest Swedish capitalist at the time, said something like "The state and capital should be two hands working independently of the other." The blue train had a distinctive style. A bit of Vaudeville or cabare music. Originally in its time with odd, distinctive singing.

    Du borde reagera på olika svenska ordstäv som t.ex det är ingen ko på isen. Du kanske ska gissa vad de betyder..
    Staten och kapitalet means the government (society) and the money. Maybe you will understand the lyrics better by knowing what the song is about.
    Like the government is ruling us and by its side is the money. The government decides everything and you have to have money in the society to function.
