is there actually any spot where you can find the translations of what she’s saying to each song?
i would really like to understand what she’s saying to “sa skimrande var aldrig havet”... *favouritefavouritefavourite*

Can anyone tell me what she says when she is laughing on stage.. can’t remember what song it is after... but it seems to be a while when she is chatting to people in the audience and playing with her hair.. but laughing..

do you mean when she’s sitting by the piano?
there she simply says that she’s a great fan of the sea and that it appears in VERY many songs of hers.
but better ask some native speaker if you want to know the exact words.

Thanx!
I think this was the bit I was looking for...
9) Ett hus vid havet (still by the piano) - The piano is removed from stage and Marie explains a story before singing the next song. She says she met Lasse Lindbom for the first time in 83. He was a famous producer by that time, and produced such artists like Ulf Lundel and Gyllene Tider. She needed a backing vocals girl, and Gessle had recommended her to him. So she explains he phoned her, asked her if she wanted to try, she accepted, and travelled from smaaaaall Halmstad to biiiiig Stockholm city. She explains she was VERY VERY NERVOUS about it all, that she was in the studio thinking for herself “now you have to give all your best” and “it worked” she said “cuz I got the job”. Some days later, Lasse phoned again, this time he wanted Marie to sing with him, LIVE. She explains she was even MORE NERVOUS, travelled again to Stockholm, while doing the soundcheck in a club in Stockholm, called Atlantic, and there she was, looking at her EFVA ATTLING! She explains that Efva walked to her, and she said “You can’t come on stage looking like this!” and Marie, shy and nervous as she was “well.. “. She tells the audience that Efva told her “come with me” and she put some make up on her eyes, her lips, and spent a whole bottle of spray on her hair, trying to put it up (punky, as she used to have her hair in her first album, remember?).
She then tells that this was the beginning of a great relationship with Lasse and Efva, and the start of her solo career “and we did songs like this one”
