Just nu! - Sweden 1980 - Eurovision songs with live orchestra

[@SGMiner21]

Did not expect to see a rock/new wave entry in 1980, even if it was one of the most popular genres at the time!

[@80spolishdiva24]

Tomas Ledin participated as a back vocalist in ABBA Tour in 1979 and 1980. Very talented guy ❤️

[@luisfilipepachecovargues5457]

I remember very well this. Good Memories!... I was 11 at that time and evrey body see the Eurovision Song Contest. 12 points from Portugal to Sweden. He deserved a better place than 10 th. place at the final score board. Great Song. 👍👌 Amasing!...

[@gerryogilvie9294]

He's actually really cool ... what other act would have their microphone lead come out in the middle of a song and at EUROVISION !! ... and then casually Tomas looks down to see where it is and just plugs it back in without missing a beat....even the drummer was laughing ! It was done so SMOOTHLY !!

If your not fake, well done. I love your song and it deserved 2nd.

[@steinarmogen3166]

Best Swedish entry ever! Miss those days when they entered great rock songs like this. Great arrangement as well.

[@escLIVEmusic1]

I really like this arrangement as well. And this also shows the approach that I and the esclivemusic site wants to promote. A flexible Eurovision orchestra functioning as a "buffet" where the arrangers and composer can chose those instruments and parts they think suits their compostion.

@@SergeESC OK if you think the succesfull band ever is overrated...

[@Euroviking86]

Great song! I love the wistful mood it has, and how the orchestra and rock sound merge to create a big wall of sound. Totally underrated that year.

[@hansvegt9937]

Real sturdy act. 1980, the beginning of a new eurovision era.

[@ΘεόδωροςΦιλιππόπουλος-σ9χ]

FAVE SWEDE ENTRY

[@ElisabethSonner]

this was 1980 but he still has the charm.

[@justinjarrett5868]

He looks something like the actor in Mannequin. Michael McCarthy I think his name was and he played the part of Jonathan Switcher

[@yogiaol]

5 years to early for this song

[@hansvegt9937]

At 1:28 you see him picking something up from the floor. Hilaric !

[@Pizdamate]

He's reconnecting the mic-wire after it got disconnected, and in a very calm and professional manner I'd say :)

[@steinarmogen3166]

@@Pizdamate Indeed! Says a lot about his professionality! A lot of singers would have troubled more....

[@ropa2142]

Could the title be “Just Now” in English??🤔

[@dalandan9117]

"Right now" is more accurate, he wants to live and stuff "right now". "Just now" would be "Precis nu" or "Nu precis" :)

[@mortechrome]

Yes.

[@erik6006]

R.I.P. Caj Högberg in the choir.

[@nicoledickson6099]

Amazing. But the just nu parts outta nowhere kinda annoyed me. Fairly good entry.

[@taklampan650]

That's the best part

[@ivil5]

Too much for 1980

[@arvinroidoatienza7082]

Swedish: Right now! English: Just no!

[@Agnethatheredhairkid]

@ ArvinRoido Atienza: And I say just YES! The sexiest man of all time. And his sons are also gorgeous.
