Lifelover - Answering questions from comments - Part one

[@mentealienari7293]

Kim cares for his curious fans more than many in the scene. I love this channel.

[@nickolascassius179]

I realize I am kinda randomly asking but do anyone know a good place to watch newly released series online?

[@fletcherkashton6348]

@Nickolas Cassius I would suggest flixzone. Just search on google for it :)

[@kamdenjericho2534]

@Fletcher Kashton Yup, have been watching on Flixzone for years myself :)

[@nickolascassius179]

@Fletcher Kashton thank you, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) I appreciate it!

[@fletcherkashton6348]

@Nickolas Cassius Glad I could help xD

[@blehhggg]

most relaxing voice ever

[@krabbelton]

Four years later and people like me are still finding these videos and getting great insight from them. Thank you, Kim for posting these videos. We love you

[@battousai12]

I miss this band so much... Fan since 2008

[@kitchenkn1fe]

By the way, this way of communication between you and your audience is great. It is also amazing that anyone may ask you about everything he\she wants. So thank you for that opportunity!

[@YouDumbZombie]

Thank you so much for the music you've helped create. I discovered Lifelover at a really critical time in my life. Helped immensely. RIP B.

[@lagadina]

This video made me so happy! Not this loud happines but just a soft tiny thing. I feel like I had a warm talk with my old friend in one winter evening. I love you.🌺

[@marcelimthorn9115]

I love to hear absolutely everything about lifelover. From how the songs came to be to how many times you guys have been to the toilet during the recordings. Looking forward for part 2.

[@xando233]

what was about tha duck picture in Erotik booklet?

[@jurassicjosh7479]

Went from a teenager who used to cut themselves to Hypothermia to an adult who is covered in scars who loves guns. Oh, what a progression of life it as been. Cheers from the land of the free, and the home of the brave! Del 3 was the shit imo.

[@antimusicmusicenjoyer]

Calling the us the land of the free is the biggest joke ever ngl

[@BOB-ITA]

Hello Kim, can you tell about your memories with Jan from Trist?

[@TomCatSwag]

BOB-0808 ITA Yes please

[@0xptomaine]

Yeah, can you tell all you know about Trist please

[@SlavicHeart1]

That would be a great story to tell.

[@Snobollskrieg]

Oh man, I fucking loved Jan. Such a nice dude, I wish we could've remained in contact.

[@fekubush5429]

Tack för musiken! Ni är det bästa och den enda bandet jag tatt med mig igenom livet! Bor i huskvarna och känns väldigt bra att det finns så mycket som hänger ihop med det magiska stället! Hoppas att få träffa dig nån gång och personligen tacka för allting! Känns som att det är rätt jobbigt för dig att prata om allt som har varit... Du är stark person!

[@leas8757]

What is your favourite kind of literature? Are there any books that inspired lifelover songs? Did you get inspired by certain artists (visually, painters etc.) ?

[@rosicorrea8029]

I'd like to know that.

[@lloydchristmas6045]

You guys are my favorite band of all time. And I still haven't changed my mind and I never will. Thank you Kim and thank you B. I have a question: Is there any unreleased tracks from Lifelover you guys haven't released?

[@Vemodsorkestern]

Thank you. Unfortunately not due to several crashes, broken equipment and other things. Closest to that are some of the tracks on the first album of Kall.

[@lloydchristmas6045]

@@Vemodsorkestern Thank you Kim. You and B are fucking legends man!!!

[@dirtgrub4398]

I can't express enough how much I enjoyed this. I've only been listening to Lifelover and other projects for about two or three years now but I consider myself an eternally dedicated fan.

[@xXAlblindoXx]

Well here are my questions - if possible to answer together with johan: 1. What was it like to perform again as Lifelover at prophecy fest in 2015? I was lucky to meet you there and I am still so thankful that you did this show! 2. Adding to that..if you could decide: would you perform again as lifelover for some special shows? Album anniversaries etc? Maybe with Kall/Eskapi etc as support? I would really appreciate more of those q&a videos! Thanks Kim! And thanks in advance Johan!

[@annaogneva529]

Hello Kim! 1) There are words in the song "Nitlott" from album "Erotik": "Det var som en frusen natt i S:t Petersburg, då öststatskylan inte direkt var på din sida" So you or somebody else from "Lifelover" travelled to Russian city S:t Petersburg? Do you have any other impressions of S:t Petersburg? 2) The text of the song "Stockholm" leaves an impression that Stockholm is a very depressive city. Is it really more depressive and uncomfortable for you than other places in Sweden? (I was there only in Summer and didn't find Stockholm so depressive.)

[@Vemodsorkestern]

Thanks, it's appreciated. I'll expand on the topic with 1853 next week too because it's moderately interesting.

[@kabirsingh9865]

Please make more videos like this in Hypothermia too

[@eyeballpaul2403]

If you feel comfortable answering, what drugs do you use and what settings if you do use any?

[@kabirsingh9865]

Why wasn’t the farewell song of B released officially? It was amazing.

[@kitchenkn1fe]

Well...I believe it wasn't because this song is smth very personal and sacred for Kim and other members. And don't think that we need this track. You may enjoy it by watching a live performance. So do I

[@kabirsingh9865]

I guess you’re right. I enjoy it by watching the Lithuania concert

[@lainlifestyle5790]

I never heard this song, what it is the name?

[@kitchenkn1fe]

@@lainlifestyle5790 nobody knows except Kim the real title of this song. You can easily find it on KZbin. Just type "Farwell Song, Lifelover" and you'll find 2 versions. Personally, I prefer the long one

[@Vemodsorkestern]

It's a part of a unrecorded album of Hypothermia and it has not been recorded yet due to other concepts requiring time and priority. (and for those who may not know, Lifelover exists because B was a fan of Hypothermia and I released and participated in his previous project Dimhymn before Lifelover was created, so devoting a song to him without a name has many layers of meaning rather than a lack of it!)

[@tanatanawong4169]

lifelover is my favorite band ever!!

[@griefoflinkocarinaofmajora5159]

Not a question, but thanks for the music it means a lot to me( RIP B )

[@snowfireth]

Hi kim, is a little bit late to write this but i love the way that you used to dance 😅 really funny and that dance gave an amazing vibe, grettings from Chile 🇨🇱

[@lordtikidecancer]

te amo kimmmmm tu sala es muy epica con arbolitossss 🌲✨

[@rippingaxe]

was great to find out more about the cover arts. I actually thought konkurs was digitally altered. thank you very much for the videos

[@randomanon7756]

What exactly inspired the sound of Lifelover in terms of influences? And now that Lifelover is disbanded (RIP B) what is it you hope to achieve with Kall/Hypothermia/Consider Suicide? P.s. In my eyes you are truly a founding father of the current BM scene and you truly deserve that title. Thank you for creating some of the most amazing/thoughtful/emotional music that I know of and for bringing a sense of spirituality, into a scene that relies so heavily on cliched tropes, with your current projects.

[@undweg2016]

Hi Kim! Nice video as always! Love to hear those stories. I`m looking forward to see you an Johan in an upcoming video. I just received the first press of Erotik from him and I`m very proud to have this one now. Best regards from Bulgaria Ben

was there any song or songs that were particularly difficult to work on? thank you guys so much for all the music you've made these years. lifelover's such a special band to me.

Hi Kim! Greetings from Turkey 🇹🇷

[@tritnaha1345]

Interesting! I used to buy tapes of you when you ran Insikt. Still got my blood numbered hypothermia ones, and one of your paintings from 2007(?) or something like that. Hoppas allt är bra med dig, Smålands mörker är fortfarande påtagligt!

[@sirenaus8480]

Thanks for making these videos, very interesting to watch. I lost my best friend also, the pain is indescribable... I hope you are dealing with things okay. Question - When was the first Lifelover gig? How did it feel to let that emotion out live?

[@xXAlblindoXx]

3. Could you share some stories of recording the albums/stories from the road when you were touring? 4. maybe in separate videos: could you go through all lifelover albums in detail? what you remeber of it, meanings, samples that were used (i was always curious what movies or people those samples were from) 5. if Johan joins: could you talk about the song "Herrens Hand"? i can't explain why but i enjoyed the live version at Prophecy fest so much

[@vadymd6510]

Kim must making ASMR, nice voice 😺

[@randomanon7756]

Also, what is your opinion of bands that have tried to pick up the torch that Lifelover once carried such as "Apati", "Intig", "Psychonaut 4", etc?

[@kitchenkn1fe]

Don't really think they have tried. They were inspired by Lifelover but they also brang smth new into the music like Lifelover did. I would say Psychonaut 4 and Apati definitely went forward to the new side of their music, especially the second band, who released "depressive rock" album. This genre isn't really suitable for Lifelover's music

[@ferrenberg]

Kim made some appearances with Psychonaut 4!

[@joycedelarosa9304]

Apati has one of my all time favorite songs, the 8th song on the 2nd album, Allt Är Sig Likt

[@davidrockrsz6545]

Hello Kim thank you so very much for sharing your lifelover memories with us, really love all your work with separate bands / projects too... I have a question about the album pulver In the song nästa gryning at the beginning there is a speech or something like that, I'd like to know what they're saying or if that's part of a movie or something... I appreciate your answer and greetings from El Salvador (central america)

some one mentioned film that help inspire lifelover I'm a cult/ horror film geek that would be interesting

What was going in your mind during the writing of myspys? And how come you don't make similar tracks like it

[@Olle_Svenska]

My favorite Lifelover-Track.

[@MultiZoXx]

I wonder whats your opinion, or just what do you think about Swedish occult underground. Sweden made a big impact on my spiritual journey and i would like to know as much as I can about it.

[@Bk2k..]

Not really a question but talking about your childhood and how growing up was would be interesting :) Would also love to know how your parents reacted to the music you made

[@Vemodsorkestern]

Thanks, I will make sure to bring that up in my discussions with 1853 next week when he visits my place. Some of my childhood is discussed in the around 40 minute interview that I made with my friend Gabriel last year that you can find on this channel :)

what you think about Intig?

To be honest I just wanna a hat like that. By the way, can you tell us if and how post punk influenced Lifelover?

If my math is correct the 20th anniversary of Pulver is on 2020, any plans or re-releases??

[@thesilencer3785]

isn't pulver from 2006?

[@mystikosadhana6240]

wasn't released in 2000 for sure.

[@Vemodsorkestern]

Correct. We recorded Nackskott and Stockholm in January 2006 after coming home from recording Köld and Rakbladsvalsen together throughHypothermia in the north, so anything else before then would have been impossible.

[@Vemodsorkestern]

In 2021 it turns 20. The cd, tape and vinyl is available through my shop linked in the description. I can see if something else is possible for the anniversary.
