[wyrdmagyk4]

Sometimes you find the purest gold in sand...

[Feikew]

thank you for your posting, i saw this vid in september 2009, since then i saw all the other vids on you tube, allready bought the 3CD album in Swedish.... and guess what?

i`m in the Royal Albert Hall in Londen on the 14th of april! :)

never before there was a musical that struck me like kristina! well, maybe Chess ;)

[kurra4ever]

[MakeLove2011NotWar]

what episodes are the pics from when heyes and kid are on opposite sides of the jail bars?

[85crimsonred]

It was Miracle at Santa Marta.

[sharibelle1999]

I bet you are.  :) smile.

[sharibelle1999]

If that's what Swedish looks like....people in Sweden must be drop dead gorgous!!!

[85crimsonred]

Hehe, you're right about that. You should just see me! ;) Just kidding. Somewhat.

[Chicagoan444]

Interesting choice . . . I read recently that Pete Duel's mother was Swedish, so he is half Swedish. Did that play any part in choosing this particular song? Or is it just a coincidence?

[85crimsonred]

Well, I knew that he was of Swedish descent, but not the extent of it. And the song just seemed to fit with Alias Smith and Jones in an eerie kind of way. So to answer your question: yes, with Pete being part Swedish it did play a big part in me choosing this song. As did the story behind the musical in it self, plus the name of the guy that sings it.

What can I say. All the musicals made by the guys in ABBA are outstanding!

[MaschAcro]

Does anybody know a version of the song with only the hmm hmm hmm singing?

That would be great for a beautiful acrobatic composition... Please help me out somebody. Thanks, it's great anyway's!

[Gabb1988]

I could loop it for you... that should not be any problems?

[mback99]

Ah vilken fin video till den här underbara låten.

Jag kommer så väl ihåg TV-serien och skådespelarens tragiska död. Skitbra, är ordet...

[85crimsonred]

Tackar, tackar!

[85crimsonred]

Jag misstänker att du e svensk, men jag svara på egelska i alla fall.

Thank you! It's always fun to hear people appreciate my videos!

[moulons]

Bravo! Bravo! sniff sniff :( :)

[NeotechSwe]

Really wonderful.

Made me cry.

[MysteryGirl221B]

This really described their relationship both that of Heyes and Curry and maybe even that of Ben Murphy and Pete Duel. Very sad, but very well done!

[hollander477]

The first time I saw the live clip sung by Peter it brought tears in my eyes and that was just because of the emotion he brings into the song. I don't speak swedish but now that I've looked at your clip and read the translation again it brought tears to my eyes. What a sad song this is but oh so beautiful, thank you very much for putting it on this site

[HCFan39]

Tack sä mycket för den här lät. Jag tycker mycket om det verkligen. En gäng jag vil läsa boken om Wilhelm Moberg och jag hoppas att ocksä ser Kristina frän Duvemäla.

Tack sä mycket. <3

Jag älskar Sverige !!! <3<3<3<3

[85crimsonred]

Hehe! Tack för den underbara kommentaren! Det pratas om att det kan komma en engelsk version av Kristina från Duvemåla så du kan ha tur att få se den någon gång. Det finns även en film på dvd som bygger på boken av Moberg. Den heter "Utvandrarna". Du borde försöka se den om du får chansen.

Tack så mycket!

Had almost forgotten about Alias Smith & Jones, but it was one of my favourite series long ago. This song is perfect as, from what I remember, the gold always turned to sand for poor Heyes and Curry...

[cavannn]

översättnigen är ju inte 100% men bra jobbat iaf...

[piafedith]

I likethis song so much

[Logan2k]

The tranlation is quite poor but you get the message. Good job dude!

[littlequeenie2]

Wow - one of my alltime Favourite TV-shows and my fav. Björn and Benny song Together!!!

Lovely!!!!!

[85crimsonred]

Hehehe, well that just proves you have a good taste in both music and tv-shows! Thank yo so much for commenting.

[Nanna9205]

Han är ju helt fantastisk! Hans röst är helt underbar, det går rysningar över hela kroppen när man hör honom!

Bra film också! Du har verkligen lyckats med översättningen!

[85crimsonred]

Hehe ja absolut! Tackar, men jag fick lite hjälp med översättningen.. Jag hittade en som passade relativt bra ute på internet och gjorde den till min egna. Tack igen och glad midsommar!

[Safeni21]

What a beautiful video - I just love this song and I can´t see a better way to remember Pete Duel.

Well done

[85crimsonred]

Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm so glad that you liked it.

[SunDogDeb]

Thank you for this (and for the translation). I have tears running down my face -- this was the most wonderful tribute to Pete Duel I've ever seen. Thanks again!

[85crimsonred]

Oh wow, you can't imagine how glad that makes me reading that! Thank you so much for commenting!

[Pejjo1]

Det är sällan jag ger 5/5. men detta är stort. Låten är vacker och dina bilder med engelsk översättning är klockrent.

Jag minns Kristina från Duvemåla i Malmö! Storslaget!

[85crimsonred]

Nä men tackar! Jag la ner rätt mycket tid på att få alla bilder, ljudklipp och textrader att fungera ihop näst intill perfekt så jag blir jätteglad av att höra att du uppfattar det som klockrent! Tusen, tusen tack för din kommentar. Den värmer verkligen.

[Pejjo1]

nämen vilket roligt svar man fick :)

Varsågod lilla du -^_^-

[superdresser]

Nice job, but the whole thing becomes slightly eerie when you know that Pete Duel committed suicide..

[85crimsonred]

Tackar! Yes I know, but that was the effect I wanted.

[anwest]

Nice job!

[85crimsonred]

Thank You!

[TiaShaw]

I really like it :)

[85crimsonred]

Well thank you! I'm really glad to hear that you liked my work! :D
