Greetings from Finland!

Pure magic

[@svergurd3873]

Of course it is our National Anthem, "Du gamla, du fria". Jonna has taken some very minor artistic liberties with the melody - I hear only one note which is slightly lowered (on 'fjäll' in 'fjällhöga'), she sings rather slow, and the kulning pieces are added. The content and the spirit is of course the same. I don't agree with those here who complain about this. Jonna's version is of course a absolute masterpiece.

[@johankaewberg8162]

One interpretation of it. It’s altered, rewritten in an minor key, and the singing style is kulning, herding call. Which is extremely Swedish. The lyrics are about the beauty of the nature, so very an-pointe video.

[@jeanette7160]

I’m from Sweden🇸🇪 too, but I think our National Anthem could be singing this way too.🎶🪈🎻🎶🥰 It’s a wonderful version and everything mustn’t be exactly the same way. She lives up in the north of Sweden and I live on the west coast. Even in Halland and that is south of Sweden. And I think we can be more open and see the beauty our community has, just because we have so different varieties of the nature in our Swedish community. Feel proud and don’t judge people for their ways to feel which way they want to sing theirs National Anthem. In our country I can feel it’s okay to sing this way. Even if I prefer “Erik Grönwall’s” version of our National Anthem.🇸🇪🍃🎶🍃🎶🌞 With I will recommend you to listen to and see.🥰 And we Swede knows how it is with our National Anthem, it’s not really a National Anthem. But now we have this as ours, and if you don’t like it…?! Go to higher level and blame them, not the people who sing it. Thanks and Hugs from Sweden and “Glad Midsommar”.🇸🇪🍃🍓🌿🌼🍀🌸🌿🍓🍃🥰🇸🇪 kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZnTaI2Nqsijbbssi=oNw-PQmMS6kTLMtP

Get yourself a coffee ❤…maybe check out “Gethsamane” - Steve Balsamo live Ahoy. I was lucky enough to see this man perform this song in Jesus Christ Superstar for my birthday many moons ago, still one of the best performances I have ever witnessed personally. You will love this Island Girl ❤️

Fantastic react, is very very good and beautiful videos thank ❤😊

[@23smguld]

She sang the Swedish national anthem😊

[@kjell-egonstrandh5334]

No, that was an other melody. We have ONE national anthem and expect it will be respected.

[@smalm86]

​@@kjell-egonstrandh5334We have no official national anthem mate. And even if it was, Jonnas version is extremely respectful of the original.

[@kjell-egonstrandh5334]

@@smalm86 Yes, it is not prined as a law, but it is used as a national anthem since 1844, when it was writtten by Rickard Dybeck. And he used an oldmelody " Så rider jag...". Some artists tries to make an other melody to the old lyrics, but then it is an other song. Not other loved national anthem.

During the last twenty years or so the pronunciation of the vocal ö has changed, which I, being an octogenarian, find obnoxious! This girl is a superb singer, but do listen to the master, Jussi Björling!

[@draug7966]

And same thing with ä, it seems. With many young people it's always the "open" ä as in värld or färd, idk but to me that sounds a bit off in words like kläder or skäl.

I'm sorry just like the person said I put the video low I didn't realize I put it down so low that you couldn't see the English subtitles. Sorry again 🥰🥰

Hi sweetheart. I have a question for you how safe are you from volcanoes earthquakes and nature itself I have just watched a video of earthquake in anchorage in Alaska your in earthquake capital of America be safe sweetheart PS have you had any scary moments or videos

[@roaringviking5693]

This is not our national anthem. She uses the same words but the melody is totally different. Personally I don't like when people do this to any song. I mean, if you're going to make up your own music, why not write your own lyrics as well? Listen to Erik Grönwalls version instead. He uses the correct melody, and at least to me that is far more beautiful.

[@carolaqalk5978]

The melody was not Swedens national anthem, but the lyrics were correct. Still beautiful :)

[@anne-mariesindruprix4792]

The melody was not wrong but it was an interpretation that altered a lot - it would be very difficult to sing as a large audience which is the idea with national anthems.

[@ullis5125]

Same notes so yes its right melody just slower ❤

[@PastorCastor]

@@ullis5125 No, it's not just a shift in tempo. It is a beautiful variation, but it is indeed a variation of the actual National Anthem.

[@palpalson5273]

Actually, the lyrics also had minor alterations :)

[@donkfail1]

Wrong melody, but almost the right lyrics. Only a few small changes from the original. "Inspired by Sweden's national anthem" would be a better description.

[@eddiOrtiz]

ure intro music is annoyingly to loud!!!!! and this is her version/ take of the national song, its not sung this way in the original national anthem

[@larskolme9740]

It is the right lyrics, however it's nowhere near the right melody

[@PastorCastor]

Really? Nowhere near? I'd say that it's very close, but still not the same.

[@palpalson5273]

The lyrics have minor alterations as well.

[@KerstinGoteborg]

I’m Swedish and I think our national song is “små grodorna” translated to “little frogs” than this song

[@kingvii7250]

Wrong melody... boooh

[@kjell-egonstrandh5334]

That is not the Swedish anthem. It was an other melody. We have only one that is the anthem.

[@minecraftminer59mineboymin38]
