Gessle's "Kvar i min bil"

17 replies

Did anybody have the chance to hear this instrumental track, from the Swedish movie "Låt den rätte komma in"? It was announced in the news a few months ago, around April. I know it's just an instrumental, but I am curious about it. If no soundtrack album was released, I wonder what are the chances to listen to it. Maybe it could be featured in the official Per website, or something like that. Thanks, anyway!!!

Yea, another song for Bad Hair Day project.

The movie should open in October, it’s been delayed since April for unknown reasons. I haven’t heard any plans about the song, which isn’t an instrumental, by the way. Maybe there will be a soundtrack album?

Update: Per doesn’t know of any plans for the song. “Probably ends up on a Per-compilation some day...”
Regarding the movie he says that as far as knows the movie was pushed back to get a fall release since it takes place during mostly the winter plus that they (the producers etc) probably want to take advantage of Xmas sales and so on. Christmas is a big movie weekend in Sweden. Per says the photography of the movie is among the best he’s seen in years and that the movie itself is amazing. He also says this movie is really hyped and will be released outside of Sweden. That about it.

There’s a nice interview with Tomas Alfredson (Låt den rätte komma in’s director) in today’s Stockholm City and there are few lines about cooperation with Gessle and why he decided to choose him :)

Today’s the Swedish premiere. Aftonbladet gives 4 out 5. You can also watch few minutes long excerpts from movie on their website.

Just came home from the cinema.

The song is played two times, the first time for just like 10-15 seconds in the background, the boy listens to it an a cassetteplayer and turns it off.

The other time he puts it on in the livingroom on a LP player. It’s kind of loud and maybe 40 seconds (or more). And also you see a LP-cover with the text “Per Gessle - Kvar i min bil” next to the LP-player.

The song really sounded early GT. But some of the lyrics I felt was more like EHM than moderna tider.

Lyrics? Wasn’t it an instrumental song?

It’s not an instrumental, it’s a song with lyrics.

The movie was great by the way.

Great, that’s even better!

I already said it’s a real song, a left-over from En händig man.

Kvar i min bil
Kvar från igår
Din mörka parfym
Din doft av ditt hår
Jag vill inte höra
Men du ekar kvar
Allt som du sa
“Du måste ge dej av”

Kvar i min bil
På sätet där bak
En sönderläst tidning
En torr bit choklad
Hela mitt hjärta
Krossat som glas
Slängt när du sa
“Du måste ge dej av”

Vart ska jag köra?
Var ska jag bli av?
Gatorna fylls
Mänskor par om par
Kvar i min bil
Finns bara jag
Och allt som du sa
“Du måste ge dej av”

Are we lucky enough to get a single for this song or at least a full movie soundtrack?

No single says Per. A movie soundtrack sounds at least plausible. All depending on the movie’s success of course.

Let’s cross fingers!

It’s a great movie, so it really should be a success. Let’s hope for a soundtrack so we’ll get “Kvar i min bil”

would be really nice. So far no chance for me to watch the film.

Gessle: Det spelar ingen roll vad som skrivs, bara bilden är bra :D

Well babe, there is a chance, cos “Låt den rätte komma in” gets its Polish premiere on Friday. “Pozwol mi wejsc” is the title and there was even created Polish trailer and poster - just look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeonLdY0eps / http://img393.imageshack.us/img393/4180/pmwty0.jpg Just can’t wait to see it! :)

Yesterday me and my friend were on this film. And we’ve even recorded part of “Kvar i min bil”. It sounds interesting, but our version is really bad, the quality is poor, but well, I publish this just for learning purpose. Hope I don’t break any rules and regulations on this board with this little file.
