Spring reflections

IMG_1453 IMG_1453

Spring is finally here! I love the four seasons. After the gray winter you really appreciate every single sunray and when we feel the increase in temperature things happen with us northerners. We start to smile more, say hi to each other on the streets again and suddenly we are a lot more continental in our way of living. But the air is still fresh and crispy in way you will never experience in countries with warmer climates. Love it!
Been working very hard these past weeks. I'm planning my first video! Also the third single was released, my first power ballad. “I don’t want to know”, a strong song that you need to pay attention to while listening and use headphones to get the full experience. Maybe not easy listening but I love it and it brings out a lot of emotions every time I listen to it.

This week something happened that made the song even more true to me. I was on social media and saw a post from the Swedish democrats, the biggest right wing party in Swedish politics. They want a new law where all citizens are forced to inform the police if you think that your neighbour is helping an immigrant that is here illegally. Just like in the old Nazi days! I can’t believe it! It’s a huge step towards the horror that we all feel so ashamed of today. A whole country has been living in the shadow of this shame ever since it happened. No one dares to mention the war when in Germany today. Is that the kind of situation we want for Sweden? Do we want people to look at each other with suspicion? Cause if they are doing something illegal, you could get punished for it. The whole thing is just outrageous and just shows the true nature of the party. Yes, Sweden sucks at immigration and we are not taking good care of all the new comers. They are not allowed to work and the all administration takes forever. The result being that people that initially came here with a strong sence of pride, willing to dig in and contribute to our country, turns bitter and loose all respect to our country. This is something that needs to be addressed immediately by our politicians. But we can’t loose the human perspective. We can’t go there. Never again! Have history really taught us nothing!!!?

That is something I almost wish I had never read because it made me so upset. But in the end off course I have to stay informed. I have to do my part to make my country a country I can be proud of. And I will use my music as a tool.
