[@IvoryCruzader]

Woohaa - thank you algorithm! I would never have expected to see Kent here. But... since you brought them up, I must encourage you to give them a chance. They are/were of the most beloved alternative pop/rock bands in Sweden for a decade or two. What you just watched was "only" a promotional video for their last album and farewell tour. It hits fans in the hearts because of the anticipation, all the visual references to previous albums, and the feeling of "finality" to one of the best scandinavian bands to a lot of people. Their songs are in swedish, and understanding the lyrics does elevate their songs. But don't let that stop you. They tried reaching a broader audience by translating two albums to english, but for some reason that didn't take off, and they gave up that idea for subsequent albums. Arguably, the swedish versions are a bit better since the english versions sound a bit forced and are sung with a slight accent. But its still a shame and probably down to bad luck, since their sound is really good, combining mainstream with more interesting and unique aspects. Some good songs by them: Socker, Dom andra, Sundance kid, 400 slag, Palace & main, Hjärta, Vals för satan (din vän pessimisten), 999, La belle epoque, Tänd på, ... Among the songs translated to english, I could recommend e.g. 747 (m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJ_TeKiQgMmbnac), Music non stop (m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWSpdnh7g99gi9U) and If you were here (m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYulkKVuiaZ1jpo).

[@MikeandGinger]

We really enjoyed that! We will definitely check out more! Thanks Dan ❤️

[@allaboutpyro2549]

That was a really good summary of the band. To add some more amazing songs, mannen i den vita hatten, den döda vinkeln, Godhet, Förlåtelsen, Dom som försvann. If you guys give them a chance, you have a whole new world to discover. Amazing band!

[@Geoskan]

This was a promo for the final album and breaking up of the Swedish group Kent. This band was my youth!!

[@TheUnderdogDe]

A few members were of Finnish origin.

[@MrViktorBajen]

@@TheUnderdogDe Still a swedish band

[@TheUnderdogDe]

@@MrViktorBajen Sure, even if all members were of Finnish origin it wouldn't change that and wasn't meant to.

[@DIProgan]

For many Swedes Kent is part of the nations culture and soul. So you can imagine the impact this video had as it marked the beginning of the end of an era for everyone that harbored those feelings. There's really no way for me to overstate the importance of this band to Swedes.

[@JohanHaagg]

Eh. Not really. Kent hade no major impact to speak of. Not more then putting out bangers. They are more or less forgotten today. And they basicly just ripped of Broder Daniel anyway.

[@BlakOutXtra]

AS a swede i can confirm this

[@MarcusAsenlund]

I've been a Kent fan since 2009 Kent made top list in Sweden on every album. 1st on every album when they were released. So Kent is very important in the Swedish and Finland's music industry. Same as Venom and Bathory laid the groundwork tones for Speed, Thrash and Black Metal. It's still sad that KENT quit their music. Kent is a half Swedish / Finnish band too.

[@michaelohalloran6380]

I find the drummer girl mesmerizing

[@adamtisell8779]

You have so much to catch up on to understand this. It brings together every album, the history, from small to big, a small band from a small town in northern Sweden, making it into the echoing streets of Stockholm. Their music describes life in all of its ups and downs. But vague enough to make every listener discover every song a bit different to anyone else. Kent has something special that I have never heard something even remotely close. Kent has 3 times as many Grammy awards than ABBA. 23 Grammys has been awarded to Kent songs. Kent, it has become and always will be with me.

[@volundrfrey896]

They're from Eskilstuna, it's in southern Sweden about an hour from Stockholm

[@darkiee69]

This was an announcement for their last album, and final tour. A lot of the imagery is old album covers and places and things they've sung about. They're a Swedish band, but the Finnish flag are there because all of the band members had Finnish roots. The airplane is on the cover of the album Isola. The girl in the jean jacket is on the cover of Hangesta hill The white tiger is on Vapen och ammunition The guy on a horse is on tillbaka till samtiden Etc. It was a gift to the fans, filled with "Easter eggs"

[@MikeandGinger]

Very cool

[@ge_mig_nat_som_kanns]

All the bandmembers does not have finnish roots. But 3 of them.

[@jericoba]

Yes. I was about to mention this, that it's not an actual song.

[@kjerstibjrnshagen4143]

Then As Now Forever. Da som nå for alltid❤

[@akl1973]

Many of Kent’s songs are just like this video, it starts with just one or a few sounds and builds up to a crescendo in the end. Especially the song 747. I also love this video and I see it like a statement: they started small in the town Eskilstuna and their fan base grew bigger and bigger just like the followers in this particular video. Kent is my early adulthood ❤

[@billblondeau4269]

The drummer isn't somebody with a lot of makeup. The drummer is Lady Death herself. Because the band was announcing their end. Many of the visuals were touchbacks to Kent's past albums and videos. "Sista Albumet" means "Last Album". "Sista Turnén" means "Last Tour". (I don't know Swedish but my wife does.) Maybe the most astonishingly good farewell ever.

[@eddiewinehosen6665]

Your pronounciation was really good, Då Som Nu För Alltid=Then As Now Forever. This was how they announced their last album and upcoming tour when they called it quits as a band after 26 years as one of the most popular bands in Sweden. The video is also referencing a lot of their previous album covers so it's sort of like death is rounding up everything that's been and bringing it to closure.

[@ChristofferHald]

Never a huge, huge fan of Kent, but this one, W O W, this caught me the first time I saw it. The audio and visuals are completely mesmerizing. When I rewatch it, and not the first or second time, i'm unsure if I ever saw something more alluring.

[@dixxel]

Glad to see Kent herr, They are from my hometown 👍🏻

[@mindovermatter6664]

Kent had/still have so many hardcore fans here in Sweden. Some early songs from them are: Om du var här (if you were here), Musik Non Stop, Kevlarsjäl (Kevlarsoul), 747, Utan dina andetag, Vinter 02, FF (the one playing at the end of the song ”Dom andra”) and Sundance Kid. I was a massive fan back in the day. Fun to see you react to them. Two albums were released in an english version, ”Isola” and ”Hagnesta Hill”. A lot gets lost in translation though and my foreign friends always prefered the swedish lyrics although they didn’t get it. But I think that it’s the melancholy sound that gets people to like them regardless.

[@theresenydahl9531]

Ginger, I did'nt know you speak Swedish! Great pronunciation✌️❤️🇸🇪 I believe this was Kent's farewell to their audience, they marched through different parts of a wintry Stockholm.

[@ninemirrors]

It's kinda funny. The tunnel with blue walls, I drive that tunnel everyday to work. That railroad tunnel she comes out of, that's about 300 m from where I live. The street she walks down, I drive that road too. The air craft is at Bromma airport where I used to work.

[@davidhill6733]

I know what it's all about because I looked it up. This piece was kent's swansong. It was a promo for the band's 12th and last studio album. The video references numerous mores from the band's past...the snow, the aircraft, the white tiger, the dark haired girl running away, the blonde in white and the horse have all appeared in prior videos. The little drummer girl really was the band's drummer, though it's difficult to pin down her identity. The video was shot in Sweden but the band also performed live street marches in other towns without the horse but with the same girl on occasion. In my view, the power of the piece lies in every element of it being compelling. The rhythm's constancy reminds me of Ravel's Bolero but the layering of sound on sound makes it all the more mesmerizing. I certainly didn't hear an accordion. The basic drum track is joined by bass drum, guitars, synths, handclaps and a big choir. The layering also introduces effects including echo and a little phasing here and there. The central point is the skull make up that indicates that the band is dead. It' s important to realise that this isn't just a track, it's raison d'etre is twofold. It is both an anthem and a requiem for the band. Update: the drummer girl is called Linn Anita Nylund. There's another video with the same soundtrack and some shared footage. In this video, it's obvious that she is the woman on horseback and also the woman in white. Judge for yourself kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2fZn31vg92nsNE

[@bazkeen]

Now that was different, but good. Haven't heard of this band, so that is always a plus. Keep the algorithm going 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@knockonrock7013]

THEN, NOW..FOR EVER

[@Jaglilpill75]

You need to listen more of the content, one of best Swedish band

[@craigramsay53]

Hi guys-- Here's the comment I posted on the original which according to the number of likes seems to explain it reasonably well... For those unfamiliar with this band-- this was the way Kent announced their finish-- the last album and tour as one of Sweden's most successful bands. I'm not a "Kent expert" although I did enjoy them so this is my take-- many of the shots are of previous album covers and songs (the plane, the tiger, the running girl, the woman on horseback, woman in the tunnel, the dogs, etc.) It's as if Death is rounding up everything from the past and bringing it back together one last time, for one last march. Då Som Nu För Alltid means Then As Now Forever.

[@jpsother1183]

This was their announcement they were breaking up the band. I like a few of their songs and this one too.

[@MikeandGinger]

Oh no! Damn 😖

[@magnusnewsome8629]

You got to listen to another song with KENT they are amazing.

[@Onionbaron]

Just to see your faces are pure joy!!! (open minds) Yes so much before this, this is like reading the last thing Strindberg (any of your favourite writers) wrote...

[@Lannisen]

Aaah so much nostalgia in this band. My favourite songs would be Pärlor (Pearls), Ingenting (Nothing), and Egoist. These guys were huge from the latter part of the 90s until they disbanded. I was at that last closing tour, and it was so amazing. This was the music of alternative youth of my generation. Similarly the band The Ark had a huge impact during that period for similar reasons, though they played glam rock, normalising bisexuality and gender nonconformity. I would LOVE to see your take on their break out single It Takes A Fool To Remain Sane!

[@109Eken]

The singer Jocke Berg just released a solo album. I saw three of the shows on that last tour.

[@hackapump]

They did record one album in English, I would recommend "747", which also is exactly 7 minutes and 47 seconds, and the song they usually closed their concerts with. A true Swedish classic.

[@arlandaplanespotting]

They also recorded Hagnesta HIll in english.

[@pixeedoodel]

"Then as Now for Always"

[@Jaglilpill75]

Then as always xx

[@Rhard016]

Many pictures from my home town in this video 😉🇸🇪

ITS A TRIBUTE R I P

[@user-yv9my9ux6c]

It ment farewell Kents fare 5:59 well album & farewell tour

[@petesquire2954]

"Then as now forever". There are alternative videos for the same hauntingly dramatic music.

[@user-rv9jc8tn9b]

Final album, this is the end of an era for Kent.

[@jarls5890]

If you liked the atmosphere in that video - come visit Scandinavia during Nov to Mar. It is JUST like that ... even in the middle of the day. Dark, cold, snowy, wet, foggy...generally dreary. Regards from Norway.

[@F1rstWorldNomaD]

It's a promo for their last album/tour. That what the text is saying at the end. Their most of their songs a phenomenal. Unfortunately like 90% of them are only available in Swedish. Their album "Du & Jag Döden" is one of my favorite albums of all time. "Vapen och ammunition" is fantastic as well.

[@ShhImASpy]

If You don't know language You could think that this last words are about some two monastery sisters, who died but... Well, You know.

[@Jimbridge74]

My algorithm chucked this song up for me a year or so ago, it's been on my playlist for a whole now on Spotify, the band is called Kent and this is nothing like their actual music... Ive listened to a couple of their other songs and they are good, but I've never really dug any further which I should probably look to address. Mike was bang on point when he said its stirring stuff! I really think you guys should take a look at the Hu- band -wolf totem... it has been widely reviewed and reacted to by the myriad of inferior reaction channels to you guys but all the same I know it will appeal to Gingers warrior soul and Mike's love of stirring call to arms! 😀 give it a go I think you guys will become fans!

[@MikeandGinger]

We did Wolf Totem, way back at the beginning of this channel. We’ve done a few Hu songs. I believe they have their own playlist - G

[@rezadjambak]

Hi there is a new video from alip ba ta, a tutorial play flute and guitar in IBU PERTIWI song PLEASE YOUR REACT...👍👍👍❤️❤️

[@stefanlast]

Kent were around for quite some time before they disbanded, making music ranging from indie rock to more electronic sounds. Not a huge fan, but I do like some of their stuff, and there is maybe a handfull of songs that I love. One of them is "Töntarna" (don't know what the best word for "töntarna" would be in English, maybe "the geeks" or "the wimps", people not likely to be very popular at school for example). It has a really cool video featuring students from Höghammargymnasiet, a school for young people with special needs. Check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZzLdHtrfpyYb5Y

[@uncommonman]

Then As Now Forever

[@mrfreezeindahouse]

For the algorithm. And yeah, i dig Kent.

[@grumpynovelist]

I only wish their last album had sounded anything like this.

[@bowallin6111]

Its a funeral march for the end and closing of the band kent.

[@nilsth]

Kent was such an amazing band, and based on how you've felt about other Scandinavian artists you've reacted to, I think you would love them too. They are tied with a-ha as my favourite band. Sadly, you'll miss out on their incredible, melancholy yet epic, lyrics as most of their stuff is in Swedish.

[@Vinterfrid]

Not really - they had one good song during their existence (Dom andra). Although popular among younger people they were just an average band among many - personally I am glad they decided to disband.

[@fredmanicke5078]

The drummer's name is Flossy and she rocks"

[@Mortac]

This wasn't a "regular" song but rather an announcement video for their last album and last tour before retiring after a roughly 25 year long career. If you'd like to do another video then let me suggest another of their songs called "Var är vi nu?" which translates to "Where are we now?": kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5ywZmhuoMR3Ztk

[@derreander]

So sad i got in to the so late i never got to se them live :(.

[@TheUnderdogDe]

Då Som Nu För Alltid = Then, like now, forever.

[@ToreHansen]

Is this melody/song under another titel on Spotify?

[@HENDBERG]

You should get their albums. Never mind the lyrics, although they are great. The music is the best. From 2003...

[@Madman.60]

I tried to go on your live fireside chat, but when I clicked on it, it said it was a private video. That wasn't nice to send an invite and not let me in. 😆😆

[@MikeandGinger]

🤣 we hit “start streaming” by accident. It was all of 10 seconds long. Stupid OBS. The buttons are so close

[@deanbarrett2051]

I think it means the march of the dead but not a 100% as I came a cross this song yesterday

[@mansyursupriyadi]

🥁🎶😍 ❤✌💐

[@CristiNeagu]

The problem with this song is that it's a brilliant song with a brilliant video made by or for a band that sounds and looks nothing like this.

[@marinalistianti]

Pardon me Guys 🥰 Do U know when Alip's birthday is? Tue, August 31st. Apparently, it's not important to Alip. However, it could mean a lot to U. For the development of U'r channel if U can use this opportunity wisely! Just ignore it, if U think it's useless

[@michaellust]

Really suprise not seeing any reaction to ABBAS new stuff here. Maybe later?

[@F1rstWorldNomaD]

Kent is so fakking amazing. It's really too bad you guys don't know Swedish. They do some English songs as well but they're never as good as the original. Joakim writes alot in metaphors and poetic language and the translations often butcher the meaning and/or the beauty. Even when he is the one writing the translations. It's a language barrier that really seem impossible to completely overcome.
