I am not Swedish and is only familiar with Mazarin if you would tell me to listen to one of Gyllene’s songs or Per’s songs in Swedish excl. the Mazarin album...which one would you say I should listen to/get?
I am trying to find a nice new song to listen to.

Per: “Pa Vag” from “Per Gessle” or “Speedo” from “Scener.”
GT: “Kung Av Sand” or “Det Ar Over Nu,” both on “Halmstads Parlor” and “Konstpaus.”
erweetiran said on January 21, 2004 21:45:
Det Ar Over Nu was the one I got, could someone please tell me what is the English title and what it is about...If it is not to much to ask.

If I like what I hear I will do so but untill then keep you comments to yourself if it is not related to the DAMN TOPIC...This is really starting to PISS ME OFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I didn’t not ask you to give me advice on: “Should I buy the album or not” so stick to the DAMN TOPIC. If you can’t reply to what I am asking then SHUT YOUR MOUNT, I AM really getting SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK of this bull s@#@T!

LOL... I knew you where nuts, this just proves it...
“SHUT YOUR MOUNT”... jesus I know you said your English was not good... but that’s taking the piss....
My answer was totally related to the topic, I told you to go buy an album, it ain’t hard.. or trying downloaded some stuff to listen to... or are you so insecure you need people’s help for this?
I think you just really showed people what you are REALLY like with your post.. I thought you where this big Christian?!! but it’s okay for you to use bad language.. Yeah whatever!

I think he is right - he won’t learn swedish by buying a Gessle/GT-album, will he? And I am sure that he will buy the albums, so what’s the problem with giving him a hint what song he could listen to to improve his swedish?
ally77 said on January 22, 2004 13:52:
The original post does not say he wants to learn Swedish... he wants someone to tell him what songs to listen to? is this so hard that you require help for it.....
I mean there are 100’s to choose from, the best thing to do is just buy an album and work the way through it, your sure to find a track that you like and enjoy! God when I started to listen to GT back in 91 I could not speak a word of Swedish, did not have a clue what they where singing, could of been about boiled fish and cucumber! ;) but then I started to translate the words with practice and time...
MP80 said on January 22, 2004 14:25:
OMG, he just asked for some songs, you (Ally) told him the ones you like, he asked for a translation, and you answer was he should go and buy the album! I wouldn’t be so surprised that he got upset. I better stop writing now before I’m told what’s wrong with my grammar and vokab.

Why every thread has its quarrel???? I’m beginning to think of not coming here that often...hm...Have you ever been on a Tom Petty forum, for inst.? - just to realise the difference...Smart people, intelligent comments and very useful debates...(yes, I think debating is normal but why people here are so insensitive to arguments and always ready to react childishly or wickedly?)
I think Erweetiran crossed the line this time.
Max-Tob said on January 22, 2004 15:12:
If you want to go back to normal, I’d say “Det är blommor som har fångat dig”; it’s a great song. Very meaningful.
Denstandigaresan said on January 22, 2004 15:48:
If you look at all the other threads about, ’What song’... blablabla, someone ALWAYS says, ’go buy the album’... not the first time, and it’s not the last.
Roxrider_USA said on January 22, 2004 15:53:
Excellent choice Max_Tob!
It’s a really great song. Love it!

@Everyone
Thank you for the help on the songs.
I will also from now TRY not ask any questions related to anything seeing that it is not valid to ask anything in this forum without getting a sarcastic or snobistic remarks. I still don’t think I deserved the “Go buy the cd” remark. If you thougth so why don’t you just keep it to yourself. This issue would not have started if my VERY SIMPLE Questions was asked or just left alone.
@ally
Have you heard of typing mistakes. I NEVER SAID I AM A BIG CHRISTIAN. If I wanted your advice on buying the cd I would have asked that so yes your second post was off topic.
@Whoever brought the Christian thing up AGAIN: PLEASE READ THIS AND READ VERY CAREFULLY!!!!!!: I WAS JUST CURIOUS WHAT YOU PEOPLE THOUGHT, THAT WAS ALLLLLLLLLLLLL, CAN’T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU PEOPLE HAVE TO GO ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON OVER A STUPID QUESTION!
Thanks Max-Tob for that song will check it out.
ally77 said on January 22, 2004 18:17:
Yeah I have heard of typing mistake, Have you heard of checking and the EDIT button...
Soooooooooo sorry if I offended you with the “go buy the album” but it is the most simplist way to go about things, what song someone else likes might not suit your tastes.... simple as that!
As for the sarcastic stuff, just seems to me, you just cannot take honest criticism, you started the post, then flamed people who posted something you DID not agree with, if you cannot take what is posted don’t start the topic.... Lots of topics get started on here everyday, I don’t see everyone else going into stroppy mode when someone says something they don’t agree with... they just take it, part of being responsible for the topic you start!
If you can’t take it, don’t start it... ;)
erweetiran said on January 22, 2004 18:28:
@Ally WHATEVER I don’t have the time or money for this. If you like to be negative and give critisism go ahead and do it, but I don’t see the need for it.
read MP80 comment to you again.
by the way thanx MP80 and the “K” person, glad to see you understand my point.
@Max Tob: I like the song...great thanx...looks like I have your taste :-o Could I pls have the English translation to this.
ally77 said on January 22, 2004 18:38:
I DID not cristicise you, you had a go at my friend! Denstandigaresan, which to me was totally uncalled for, so before you post your you own comments... etc... remember you had a go first...
As for me not posting on your topics... dream on chuck, I’ll post what I want and where I want, so stick that in your god forsaken head! perhaps you could tattoo it there!
erweetiran said on January 22, 2004 18:45:
@Ally: Again please read MP80’s comment to you. What do you mean I had a go at your friend(confused)
on a positive note, I kinda liked your previous post, I liked the dream on...comment...it was great!!!!(not being sarcastic)
ally77 said on January 22, 2004 18:47:
Yeah I read MP80’s comments, so what one person out of about 20 agrees with you... whoppee!
As I said before pick any song in Swedish by GT etc... they are all good... as for translating into English, there are plenty of websites around that will do that! don’t have the links for any at the moment though...
erweetiran said on January 22, 2004 18:50:
It is not about how many posts you got and how many I got what matter is what whas said in those posts....what do you mean i was mean to your friend?
Denstandigaresan said on January 22, 2004 19:00:
Ally, I can fight my own battles... as much as I appreciate the back up... but it ended in that last thread... don’t drag it out into this one!
If you do, leave me out of it! Please.
ally77 said on January 22, 2004 19:15:
@ erweetiran... what about number of posts, who the hell mentioned that! you just being picky now for the sake it...
@ Den.... Okay, please yourself... fight away... I am not arsed anymore! ;)
Denstandigaresan said on January 22, 2004 19:38:
I know that sounded harsh... but that’s just it... I don’t want to fight!!
What pee’d me off, is out of ALL the nasty comments posted, I was picked out as being the hard one...but that’s now closed.
I know you’re a nice person, I know I’m a nice person, but if it’s dragged out, we look like troublemakers... which is totally not what I want.
You’ve got your diary thing now... as have I... do our screaming there. ;)
ally77 said on January 22, 2004 19:41:
I can’t agree with you on this sorry.... but someone else posts crap and when someone has a go at him, he just cannot not take it... nope it’s not on! and erweetiran was wrong on this... the likes of this person ruin TDR,
8/9 months ago this placed rocked and there was none of this... it has just gone so downhill!
Max-Tob said on January 23, 2004 09:18:
@erweetiran: You can find all Per’s lyrics and translations on a site called “Pearls of Per”...Here’s a link: http://roxette.cs.caltech.edu/pearls/
I’m glad you liked “my” song. Try another one, from the same “area”...”Du är en gangster, älskling” - it’s great! I bet you’re gonna like it, even though - I think - there are some obvious influences from T. Petty.Hehehe.
Mutley said on January 23, 2004 21:46:
@Max-Tob Thanks for the great link! I have wanted the english translations for Per’s Swedish albums for ages. I was going to attempt to translate them all myself. Anyway, you’ve just made my day!
@Santi - Great choice - great song. I recommend this song too, erweetiran.
ally77 said on January 21, 2004 15:47:
“Juni Juli Augusti”, “När Vi Två Blir En” & “Billy” would be my choices!
