Emily Barker - Nostalgia (Wallander version)

Tram wires cross northern skies cut my blue heart in two my knuckles bleed down tattered street on a door that shouldn't be in front of me Twelve thousand miles, away from your smile I'm twelve thousand miles away from me Standing on the corner of Brunswick got the rain coming down and mascara on my cheek Oh whisper me words in the shape of a bay shelter my love from the wind and the rain Crow fly be my alibi and return this fable on your wing take it far away to where gypsies play beneath metal stars by the bridge Oh write me a beacon so I know the way guide my love through night and through day Only the sunset knows my blind desire for the fleeting only the moon understands the beauty of love when held by a hand like the aura of nostalgia

[@lukesvideogameletsplays4416]

"you live next to people. In their lives. But what do we really... Know about each other? Any of us?" Probably one of my favorite lines and scenes I the whole series. And then they start to play the theme. Halfway through the last episode of season 1.

[@juliamcfarland5715]

[@1evonvielen]

Watched Wallander because of Tom Hiddleston, stayed because of the great stories, characters, settings and - of course - music. This song is incredibly beautiful.

[@EmilyBarker]

It is a great series and I'm glad you enjoyed the theme tune too :)

[@berlinmitte10117]

A lovely song - brilliantly used for Wallander. As distinctive a sound as the TV programme itself is.

[@jonasn7739]

[@matthewjohnbraley7934]

What a Great Show! I honestly gave up on American TV. So now I only watch foreign shows, Sweden and Scandinavia have many great shows.

[@conniestevens3387]

Have you seen Ragnarok? If not, please check it out. I believe it was filmed in Iceland but I'm not sure right now. I watched it a couple of years ago. It is absolutely fabulous!

[@JJBushfan]

What a discovery. Yet another 'thank you' to whatever genius paired this splendid singer with the emotionally-charged Wallander. What first got me hooked on that programme was my first sight of the minimalist title sequence accompanied by an incredibly soulful singer singing an incredibly soulful song. I still watch re-runs every Saturday night on British freeview.

[@EmilyBarker]

+JJBushfan it was the composer Martin Phipps who bought me to his studio to re-record my song, Nostalgia, so it would fit lyrically with the Swedish setting (the original song is set in Melbourne, Australia) . 😊

[@JJBushfan]

Then applause for Mr Phipps. And I do envy you your undoubted skill in all three disciplines - lyrics, music and playing. I always wanted to write songs in this sort of genre and some of my lyrics were decent enough. Trouble was, I couldn't write music for toffee and didn't know anybody who could. I ended up writing fiction instead.

[@EmilyBarker]

+JJBushfan fair dos! Sounds like you've found your thing. I'd love to be able to write fiction...

[@JJBushfan]

That's the first time I've ever seen the expression 'fair dos' in a KZbin comment. Yeah, let's get the Yankees scratching their heads. (And you didn't put an apostrophe before the s, which I appreciate. If you get bored and have twenty minutes to kill, you can read one of my shorts here: jjbeazley2.blogspot.co.uk/2010/12/when-waves-call.html. It has magic and music in it.

[@sonicfoxxmusic4281]

Good programme matched with beautiful music....after a while i suddenly realised i was watching the programme and listening to the music.

[@bazrud1]

Thank goodness for Wallander, Emily Barker has a gorgeous voice. Its a very beautiful haunting song. I think music is so important in drama,it adds to the atmosphere and gives the artist a wider audience. 'Broad church' was another great drama where we discovered 'Olafur Arnalds'

Its 2024. Walander is one of those series that stays with you. The Swedish version is still king but what made the bbc version so unique was your song. Even today, it resonates.. it speaks volumes.

[@PeterNimmo]

Really love this song, but I'm obsessed with the take featured in the Wallender theme tune, where after the lyric "door that", a second voice features and both singers sing "shouldn't be" in harmony, and then emily sings "in front of me", and the vocal on that line sounds amazing. Wish I could get to but that version!

[@EmilyBarker]

This version is the closest to it as the piece you're referring to is just what you hear on the show - it doesn't continue beyond, if that makes sense. Best wishes and thanks for listening!

[@et4751]

It's a strange experience watching Kenneth Branagh's Wallander and seeing a young Tom Hiddleston before he 'broke' into Hollywood. Actually, seeing so many English Actors and Actresses you've recognized from later projects in this series. First class adaptation and holds well against the Swedish films of Wallander. Haunting theme and matches perfectly to the series.

My dad played this song once to me when I was a little girl and I became completely obsessed. So much so in fact, that a year or so later he booked tickets for Purbeck Folk Festival - purely so we could see Emily Barker live. I can remember Emily Barker's performance vividly and I loved it so, so, so much. Because of that folk festival I'm still totally obsessed with folk music to this day (I went to Purbeck again last summer :D) And not only did Emily Barker help me discover folk but her song 'Disappear' really helped me through a rough year at school :) So, ironically this song makes me super nostalgic. All Emily Barker's music means so much to me! And I hope she gets the recognition she totally deserves (she is SO super duper talented)!!!
