Unbeknownced to me, my favourite group changed websites and released a new CD last year and has even been touring. Despite it’s change of musicians and such, the Swedish folk-pop group, Sarek, released a new album entitled I Natt ska Marken Skälva. It’s really not so bad at all but is lacking the fun flare that the previous albums had!

1. Skymning (Intro)
2. I natt ska marken skälva
3. Magiska sekunder
4. Lilla barn
5. Genom drömmar
6. Låt mig vara
7. Du får ännu mitt hjärta att slå
8. Pärlorna i mörkret
9. Skäl
10. Sjunger för dig
11. Ädelsten och guld
12. Längtan till vidderna (Outro)

The above listing is higlighted with my personal favourites. The lovely mix of sending me back to the 17th century with instruments, with a modern style makes me happy.

I’m mostly upset that I was unaware that they changed their members (again), and started to tour again. The last I heard on their old website was that they were all pregnant and taking a break, but then heard no new updates. Now I know that with a new website, and a renewed album they will be at least around for another little while.

I can’t help but listen to music when I’m bored, and I came across this song that I’d never heard before and it really spoke me to me in a way that made me want to get up and dance whilst still delivering a message that I feel inside.

I’ve posted about Da Buzz before because they just are about one of my favourite Swedish Dance-pop-techno groups consisting of three people from Karlstad. They’ve been in Melodifestivalen with Stop! Look! Listen! but since then they have mostly been releasing singles and new albums. I will be a fan forever, because their music makes me rock on!

Da Buzz – Life is Good

I know the truth, hey
Telling secrets
Neither have true faces
It’s hard to believe
That you can’t feel it
Don’t you walk away from me

Don’t let your sadness blow away your life
Cause I will bring you up and show you what I’ve got
I know that life is good, with someone that loves you
I know that life is good, together we’ll make it
I’m sure that life is good.

Get your feeling
Only hurts you
Don’t give away your heart
Wait a moment
Think it over
You’ll see that we can be right

Don’t let your sadness blow away your life
Cause I will bring you up and show you what I’ve got
I know that life is good, with someone that loves you
I know that life is good, together we’ll make it
I’m sure that life is good

Let’s send this frustration
We can’t go on like this no more
So let your heart be true to you

Life is good, with someone that loves you
I know that life is good, together we’d make it
Life is good, with someone that loves you
I know that life is good, together we’d make it
I’m sure that life is good
I’m sure that life is good

I think the part in the song that really gets me is the empathetic pop-dance key-change after the bridge. The drive towards the end is just so empathetic with the way that she sings and the chord progressions. If you end up splitting up or quitting I will cry, just like I cried when Stina of Sarek had a baby and they haven’t produced any new music yet. There is something about Swedish-Folk-Pop that just makes me want to scream outloud, mostly just the song Det är du but we will save that for another time when I’m musically inclined.
