Amerikanen Reacts To Svenska Klassiker: Marie Fredriksson - Sparvöga

I listened to "Sparvöga" for the first time. Here's my reaction.
Here's the link to that the entire Mississipi Children's choir rendition of "His Eye is on the Sparrow": • Mississippi Children's...

[@christianangelin2005]

My younger brother passed away from a brain tumor and this amazing woman donated one of her paintings to the foundation we started in his name. Putte Angelin and Marie Fredriksson will never be forgotten.

[@QueenOfCupsTarot]

"Flickan och kråkan" by Mikael Wiehe have a similar vibe as this song. Chills guaranteed! 🌠

[@hannaskoog7897]

RIP Marie Fredriksson

[@jokervienna6433]

Marie was a great singer and also in line of the swedish melacholy. This song is not only about hope, it is also about how fragile everything can be if you are a sparrow. But - as long as you feel life inside you and your wings carry you, keep on flying over the meadows. As close to religion as most Swedes come to, I guess. For some Swedish gospel, the closest I think we have are some songs from Carola and Cyndee Peters. Both of them with great voices, but perhaps not Swedish classics. Thank´s a lot for the link to the "His Eye is on the Sparrow" - that gave me goosebumps, though I am not religious at all.

[@fartreta]

Marie Fredriksson was such a gifted singer... she really could belt it out with raw power if she wanted to but she could also sing softly like an angel. You got to say that she had rock, blues and jazz running in her veins. And actually she was one of quite few Swedish celebrities claiming to be Christian believers, though she didn't really want to talk about her faith in interviews. She wasn't very fond of doing interviews at all to be frank. Bit of a reluctant super star, but a force of nature on the stage. Gone all too soon, RIP Marie ❤

[@PJxpanterx]

Älskar den här! Extra känslosamt nu efter hennes bortgång...

[@tobbesperspektiv]

Hi there Jonathan, I must say that I really appreciate your reaction-series! You give us a fresh perspective on Swedish classics and many little "fun facts" that I didn't know. Also your reactions shows you're a genuine guy, so keep up the good work! Some suggestions to react to: LOK - Lok står när de andra faller Änglamark (Evert Taube) sung by Sven-Bertil Taube Peter Jöback - Guldet blev till sand

[@JonathanRollinssthlm305]

Thanks!

[@amisa160]

Marie Fredriksson was such a good singer and she really touch our souls especially with her own songs where she was very authentic. Next time you do a song by her maybe you could do "Tro"? Another loved artist that you should check out is Laleh, maybe "Some die young", "Vårens första dag", "Goliat" or "Bara få va mig själv". Laleh has a very special style, she is a one of a kind person and highly creative. She plays a lot with the tones and how she accentuate words. If you want dansband maybe "Du e min man" med Helen Sjöholm could be fun. That song highly irritate me and it would be fun to see your reaction to it. It was liked by many people, not me though. I like gospel, so I will check out the song that you mentioned!

[@JonathanRollinssthlm305]

"Tro" is on the list as well

[@fredrikmalmsten8111]

@@JonathanRollinssthlm305, then you should consider the opening song of SVT's tribute concert "En kväll för Marie Fredriksson" - a Gospel cover of "Tro"

[@hachimaki]

Uno Svenningsson's song 'under ytan' and Gyllene tider's 'Billy' would be a great songs to react to I think.

[@mrbrand4720]

would just write that recommendation . uno svenningsson - under ytan the red cross had a commercial in the 90`s and what struck me was ALL the young guys who would see that movie became very quiet when under ytan song was played .

[@_mickelarsson]

”Norrländska präriens gudinna” med Olle Ljungström. Han var en fantastisk låtskrivare och artist.

[@polara1se]

Spravöga var en tv-serie, om jag kommer ihåg rätt, nån gång på 80-talet.

[@MagnusOsterlund]

Det stämmer bra. Det var en serie på 6 avsnitt som sändes 1989 och baserades på tre böcker skrivna av Ann-Charlotte Alverfors. Det handlar om en flicka som kallas Sparvöga av sin morfar och bor i det småländska samhället Reftele som författaren själv var från (och även jag).

[@catharinaberg5372]

"Hon har ett sätt" av Jacob Hellman :)

[@klaskristian1]

Marie Fredriksson and the band "Eldkvarn" made a tribute cover on "Somliga går med trasiga skor" to tribute Cornelis when he had passed away. That version is awesome

[@musicfromakido]

If you are looking for Swedish religious music i suggest Blott En Dag, which is a psalm that's very common at funerals. There's a lot of recordings of it, for exampel by Carola, but the greatest version i think is by Freddie Wadling. I can't listen to it without crying. He is an amazing artist with an intresting history.

[@ellinorakerstrom6714]

The male part of Roxette was Per Gessle and he had a band called Gyllene Tider. Early 80's. Try to react to few of those, that would be sweet :-D

[@birthekjaersman4241]

Her voice. This song always gives me goosebumps.

[@dennisrudin6907]

Hi Jonathan, this song also reminded me of the group Gemini with Anders Glenmark (saw you reacted to GES) and his sister Karin. Especially ”Mio min Mio”, sung by Karin, but also ”Kall som is” which is sung by them both.

[@hachimaki]

Great stuff as always man, that bit about the next reaction made chuckle quite a bit

[@andreascavino8053]

Hi Jonathan!! I've just discovered your channel and... What can I say!!! You made me feel All about I learned about Swedish music since the day I felt in love with it.. 25 years ago!! This sound... Especially from Fredriksson and Gessle to but also Cornelius and Gardestad guided me throughout this time and I'm grateful towards you that make me remember what all this means to me!!! Thank you! Ciao

[@jipe6435]

Really happy to have found your channel. Been on a binge the last few hours! Can't wait for more videos. Would love to see more reactions on Kent songs. My suggestion would be Kent - Columbus

[@knarkarn]

Love the reactions! Keep em comin! 👍🏽😊

[@edflintlaw]

So happy you found Marie. Yes, ballads were always her strongest, glad that you are going to do Tro soon. For your next list, let me suggest more Marie Fredriksson classics: the live version of Jag Brande Din Bild Live Cirkus Broadway on KZbin, a 1988 performance that is better than the original recording, and Marie emotes on stage like no other. I don't know if it was a hit on the Swedish charts back then, but as break-up songs go, that one is potent.

[@MrJimmyGrosch]

Damn you! I planned to watch the entire season 3 of The Walking Dead yesterday. Instead I found your reaction videos and I spent almost the entire evening watching them. I really miss the summer so I hope you will listen to "Sommarnatt" with "Snowstorm" and "Sommartider" with "Gyllene tider" so that you can give me some summer vibes.

[@erikloof2397]

Spela shoreline!

[@tomrox2]

Roxette. The Best band in the world in 80 s and 90 s. Super popular all over the globe

[@larino00]

Here are some more tips for the reaction-serie. Marie Fredriksson have 2 songs i would recommend. they are from the 80-s and they are "Bästa dagen" and "Den sjunde vågen". Bästa dagen is about how this day will be the best and Den sjunde vågen is a song with feelings getting stronger in a physical moment. Really great song with strong singing from Marie. Flamingokvintetten (Dansband) made a tribute to all mothers with the song "Jag ska måla hela världen lilla mamma". Tomas Ledin is a very popular artist in Sweden. Here are som of his classics: - Snart tystnar musiken. - En del av mitt hjärta. - Just nu. - Sensuella Isabella. - Sommaren är kort. - and many more... Malta - Sommar'n som aldrig säger nej. This song from Eurovision song contest 1973 was very criticized and debated due to one of the lines in the text. 5 weeks in the swedish charts and reached nr 3. Have a nice weekend :)

[@Creamgirl78]

For dansband classics: Jag vill vara din Margareta - Sten & Stanley, Eloise - Arvingarna and Leende Guldbruna Ögon - Vikingarna. It's not the greatest of genres but I guess we have to accept it as part of our culture :D

[@JonathanRollinssthlm305]

Haha thanks

[@Merecir]

Blackjack - Inget stoppar oss nu Dansband classic

[@eatterlo]

Den sjunde vågen is Marie Fredrikssons most powerful song in my opinion. And her voice in that song is 👌

[@jesicadpsc]

One of the most beautiful female voice ever and a great songwriter. Marie wrote this song thinking about her older sister who died in a car accident when Marie was a little girl.

[@satanihelvetet]

Very nice reaction video! I'm not a big fan of the most music recorded by A M Fredriksson/Roxette, but I admire her alot as a singer. How ever... this song is beautiful and gives her fantastic voice justice.

[@TVBoomCity]

U need to check her catalogue she was a serious artist one of the best to do it

[@andersgranstrom7128]

Magi! Och nu, extra änglalikt! RIP Marie.

[@vide1930]

Sparvöga

[@adamalesand9563]

Lasse Holm - Canneloni Macaroni. A real 80’s classic.

[@attesmatte]

😂 😂

[@joastark]

I had to look thru my old albums for this, Marie Fredriksson cameo. Gyllene Tider - Gyllene Tider (1979) Marie i växeln.

[@ikezorn6477]

Wow , the short clip of the young boy and the big big choir :)

[@JonathanRollinssthlm305]

Amazing!

[@tovep9573]

Marie was a bit shy, or modest, in interviews but she was an amazing performer with enough energy and carisma to capture any audience. Per was so lucky to be part of a band with her. Watch her dance here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZPcfnx9fLyhi9k

[@seriousplayer1]

You should react to Melissa Horn - Jag saknar dig mindre och mindre if you haven't already :D

[@user-nd7ed3vb6v]

You should check out laleh

[@attesmatte]

There are plenty of Swedish gospel choirs, I sang in one really awesome one back in senior high (gymnasiet). We're not religious, but singing in choirs is HUGE in Sweden, and the best place for a choir is in a church with great acoustics, so lots of choir performances are in church. 😜

[@bigbang1891]

Jag gav ju dig en lista på över 50 låtar, där har du lite att plocka från 😊 keep up the good work 👍

[@klaskristian1]

Great song. She is a fantastic singer! React to "Secret service" though i am normally not a fan of pop-music, i really dig Secret sevice. Their song "Flash in the night" is great!

[@iamapotato]

Pontus & Amerikanerna - Godmorgon Columbus

[@billytheschmid]

You rock! Some suggestions below: • Jan Johansson - Emigrantvisa (60s jazz influenced by swedish folk [no lyrics but worth it]) • Jussi Björling - Till havs (Opera on steroids) • Imperiet - Märk hur vår skugga (modern cover of 1700s song by Bellman) • Evert Taube - Här är den sköna sommar (about war and politics, poor recording) • Barbro Hörberg - Med ögon känsliga för grönt (70's jazz song) Car music below: • Eddie Meduza - Volvo (Volvo music) • Östen Warnebring - Monica (Saab music) Some great swedish classical composers are: Wilhelm Stenhammar, Wilhelm Peterson-Berger, Kurt Atterberg, Lars-Erik Larsson, Ture Rangström. But their works are too long for reactions.

[@rikard-3642]

Maybe you’ve played it already (couldn’t find) but Uno Svenningsson - under ytan is a nice song. Found your channel today and am enjoying it!

[@karllantz]

Swedish gospel you said...try listning to Samuel Ljungblahd, either on the prince's wedding, when he jumps in as substitut on "Så ska det låta" from 2009 I think or my personal favorite when he does a K.O. (kinda 😉 )on Kirk Franklin...

[@henna_s88]

So I have just spent part of my night watching a lot of your react videos and I love them 🧡 have a song suggestion for you, since you seemed to like Helen Sjöholm- Gabriella's sång.. check out Peter Jöback- Guldet blev till sand. Its such a good song and he is an amazing artist, he did the phantom of the opera at the royal Albert hall in London and at Broadway, so Kinda says alot. Hope you check it out in the future 👍

[@annasundstrom6691]

Du måste lyssna på en av Sveriges mäktigaste röster: Jussi Björling med ”Till havs”.

[@lisakovanen1975]

Och "Oh helga natt".

[@aeh2435]

Sparvöga är en av mina absolut favoritsånger Marie hade en sån fin röst

[@klaskristian1]

Hi, react to "Svårt att säga nej" by Bo Kaspers orkester and Lisa Ekdahl. I listend to it before. Long time i heard it but man, that is one swedish classic! The lyrics, sound and the way they performs it in the video! I know i liked it, but i did not remember it this good!

[@erikjoh3707]

Grymt bra kanal! Gillar verkligen dina videos. Men det måste väl vara dags för Gyllene tider - Sommartider snart? Det är ju klassikernas klassiker här i sverige.

[@Archtila]

Love your channel. You have to lissen to Noice - Du lever bara en gång. One of my alltime favorite. Kid was only 16 years old at the time.

[@364nailhead]

Maybe you can react to some Roxette songs that you probably havent heard? Like "Queen of rain" or "Things will never be the same".

[@fredrikmalmsten8111]

Maybe you should check out the closing song of the tribute concert on SVT for a combo of Marie and Gospel! "En kväll för Marie Fredriksson" 1:18:42

[@snorpenbass4196]

A few artists to look up songs by that's a bit tricky but also helped shape the Swedish pop landscape is, among others, Maritza Horn - mother of current star Melissa Horn. There's also Py Bäckman and Dan Hylander, who were in the same band together until they split up and had solo careers. And of course, you really should listen to more stuff by Peps Persson. Because Peps Persson. :-D

[@linuxmintx1294]

Here is another.wonderful song, Cue- Burnin

[@ldsandmedium767]

Bo Kaspers Orkester - vi kommer aldrig att dö!!

[@kristerforsman2448]

Hi Jonathan. You seem to like folk songs / ballads. Then you should react to Olle Adolphson. A true classic. Preferably Terrorbalans or trubbel. Not a great singer but a great songwriter. An old classic.

[@nilnaelil]

Not related to Sparvöga in any way, but if you're looking for Swedish classics here are three songs from 80's Melodifestivalen. I'm not really into schlager but growing up in the 80's they played them to death here in Sweden so they do have nostalgic place in my heart. And Melodifestivalen has been and still is a big part of Swedish culture and by extension the Eurovision Song Contest for Europe in general. (Not gonna bother naming ABBA since I assume you have heard them before) Carola Häggkvist - Främling 3rd place ESC in '83 Herreys - Digge loo digge ley 1st place ESC in '84 Lotta Engberg - Fyra Bugg & en Coca Cola. 12th place ESC '87

[@linuxmintx1294]

Forgot this one too, Cue - Crazy

[@linusandersson1535]

A truly European classic, "Lyckliga Gatan"by "Anna-Lena Löfgren" is another great classic. Beautiful lyrics! Personally I prefer the cover by "Timo Räisänen." Technically, they're both covers. The original song is Italian; "Il ragazzo della via Gluck". The song has been released in two separate English versions, French, Dutch, Greek, Czech, Spanish and also two German versions!

[@1989Goodspeed]

Hanson och Carlsson “Tax Free” a instrumental song that impress Jimi Hendrix so much he covered it. Then you have Made in Sweden with songs like Lady G and Where do we Deign? , the guitarist George "Jojje" Wadenius was in the SNL house band and recorded with Blood Sweat & Tears and Steely Dan. The Bassist Pekka Pohjola was approached by Frank Zappa but turned him down with the pretext: “too much bull sh*t”.

[@70sdude68]

Weeping Willows - The Burden!! Underbar sång som du borde react till.

[@Huxteble]

Klassiker inom dansband: Den stora dagen - Vikingarna (sorglig text), Gråt inga tårar - Thorleifs, De sista ljuva åren - Lasse Stefanz (rekordlänge på Svensktoppen då), Du ringde från Flen - Grönwalls, Vårt eget blue Hawaii - Vikingarna Sveriges gospelstjärna heter Samuel Ljungblahd.

Hi Jonathan, you should check out Sabaton !! Its a Swedish metal band and they make historical songs about the wars worldwide, they recently made a Song called Livgardet, but they have made many about ww1 ww2, wars in Africa etc... you should check em out, my favorite song is The final solution, it's a powerful but sad song. I think you will be most impressed by the song Bismarck because the music video have a insanely quality.

Tror inte du hört ”Neverending Love” med Roxette och i så fall får du gärna react till den 😊

I think you'd really like "Pessimistkonsulten" by Östen med Resten, it's another song that combines music an comedy

[@JonathanRollinssthlm305]
