Den här låten hade vunnit mycket på levande orkester i ESC 2000, men tyvärr blev den vägen till lyckan blockerad året innan av Judarna i och med ESC i Jerusalem 1999 av kostnadsskäl, wtf! Hoppas innerligen att levande musik gör sitt återtåg till ESC i framtiden!
Blocka mig hur mycket du vill men det du skrev först var att du undrade varför det skulle vara rassistiskt att vilja ha låten som nationalsång, något jag aldrig skrev att det var.
Sen skulle jag nog påstå att sveriges nationalsång kanske borde handla om.. Sverige?
Men visst, en låt om samerna som Sveriges nationalsång hade väll kunnat vara coolt, dock är det ju knappast konstigt att det inte är det första man tror att du menar.
Om det var så du menade så missförstog jag dig ja, men tvärtom också
@Porkusido Det fina med vår inofficiella nationalsång är att den funkar till alla nordiska länder, något han hade i åtanke, Skandinavismen frodades under tiden.
@Kudiz Enda problemet är ju då bara att den bara handlar om en minoritetsgrupp av befolkningen.. samerna.
Men det hade vart en fin tanke att ha en nationalsång som handlar om ursprungsinvånarna = samerna. Dock är det lite skumt med tanke på alla andra svenskar, som tex jag? och antagligen du?
Problematiken som finns är hurvida samerna nu faktiskt var först i Sverige eller inte,... Det är nog rätt svårt och försöka komma fram till vilka som var här först med all den faktan som finns
@froppe Alright, vi förutsätter att dom inte var det även om sjukt mycket pekar på att det var så.
Hur har det någon som helst betydelse för poängen att det är konstigt att vilja ha en nationalsång som enbart handlar om en minoritetsgrupp i det landet?
Även om den skulle vara för hela norden, varför ha en "nationalsång" som enbart handlar om en mycket liten procentandel av dessa länders befolkning?
En fin tanke om det var så dom som skrev till mig tidigare menade, men skum.
@froppe Det som är skumt med det här klippet är alla som skriver saker som "stolt svensk" och "det här borde vara Sveriges nationalsång" när den inte ens handlar om svenskarna som folk. Kan du inte erkänna att det låter sjukt konstigt?
@Porkusido En svensk nationalsång kommer aldrig bli accepterad om man fokuserar på ett viss speciell grupp i låten... Sen är det dock rätt svårt och tillgodose allas behov
Ja låten ska handla om Sverige/Svenskarna som folk..
@froppe Det är som att jag skulle göra en sång om indianerna och folk tyckte att det skulle bli USA:s nationalsång och både Amerikanerna och Britterna (mfl) skulle börja skriva kommentarerna om den som "proud englishman" och "proud American"..
@Porkusido Indianerna var ju först i USA så om dom vill ha en nationalsång som bara handlar om indianerna så anser jag inte att det är något fel med det... Dock så tror jag nog att Indianerna har en medkänsla och moral så låten skulle nog inte bara handla om Indianerna
@froppe Men snälla nån.. hur kan man missförstå så grovt?
Sista gången jag skriver här för ingen verkar ju läsa kommentarerna endå utan bara svara på det här sättet..
Icke samiska svenskar skriver hela tiden att detta borde vara sveriges nationalsång, det jag skrev då var att jag inte tror dom menar det då sången inte handlar ett DUGG om de flesta svenskarna, enbart om samerna.
Om de som skrivit detta vill ha en nationalsång som enbart handlar om ursprungsbefolkning så visst, vackert.
@froppe Jag tror dock inte att det är detta dom menar.. tror du?
Självklart är det inget fel med det, men det verkar konstigt att ha en nationalsång som handlar om en mycket liten grupp av människor i landet..
Jag har skrivit flera gånger att menar dom det så är det ju en fin tanke, men jag har svårt att tro att det var detta man menar när man skriver så, utan att dom trodde att låten handlar om det svenska folket (icke samerna) ^^
Roger Pontare har en varm "manlig" djup mörk röst, varför låter i stort sett alla nuvarande manliga sångare som fjollbögar eller feminina media wannabees?
@kzbxvz Media försöker sudda ut manligheten, antagligen därför antalet emo och hipster grabbar ökar, nu ska man vara ultra feminist och djurrätts aktivist med alldeles för små kläder och handväska för att vara en "riktig" man.
So please, stop typing on youtube (on english so everyone in the world can se your stupidity) that you want this song to be the Swedish national anthem.
The extreme right (racists and national-socialists) did that many years ago, all you do is embarrasing yourself and the country you claim to love so much ^^
Im Swedish myself and i love my country, but for the completely opposite reasons the national-socialists and rascists does.
Well, it is nationalistic, but for the native peoples, not you.
@Porkusido Btw you do know that Roger is inspired by the native americans and he refferes (spelling) to the indians? And that this song is towards that area, so i cant find this racist :)
@Whimpen Well that's pretty much what i said in my 2 comments so i don't get why you point it out to me but.. yes i know :P
I never said the song was racist, just that the embarrassingly stupid people saying it should be the Swedish national anthem was, those saying it after his performance in euro vision.
My comments was a response to the idiots still commenting that this should be our national anthem, its embarrassing all Swedes and particularly themselves.
@Porkusido well... u see. the fun thing there. the extreme left has loads of proud jew haters. aftonbladet and other newspapers write extreme racist jew hate propaganda... and it's okay :S but if a right wing dude critizises a muslim cause they dont like human rights. then he's racist and should be put to death. 40 years ago the extreme right was racists. nowadays the racism flipped to the left side
@geson86 Well obviously there are racists in the extreme left as well, the extreme left isn't any better than the extreme right, however i have some hard time understanding the relevance of this as every political view and ideology have members that are very racist.
Your claim that the racists have moved from the right to the left is not really true, look at the Sweden democrats, every issue is solved by stopping immigration ^^
The left is often criticizing the actions of Israel, not the Jews.
@geson86 No racism is alright obviously and i dont really understand the meaning of your comment, but to sum it up, there are racists in every corner of every ideology, the racists have a strong home in the extreme right in Sweden and many organisations like NSF and the father organisations of the Sweden democrats which had clear Nazi policies are still taking up much of Sweden racists. Not to talk about all the racists in the Sweden democrats (not all are, but some are real big time racists to)
@geson86 So nah, the racists are still in the extreme right and they will probably always have a huge number there, but the extreme left ain't far from it.
I have no problem with liberals, there are obviously racists there as well, but not more than in the social democrats (there always will be some) and they have valid points, so don't think i attack all the right movements just because i talk about the extreme ones.
@geson86 Im a lefty though, but not an extreme one, and the social democrats are actually the ones that fought for most of the rights and acceptances we have today.
The Liberals have done a lot to, but its the social democrats that truly made Sweden what it is today, were we all have more equal possibilities and employee protections. Its the old people today that built this, we forget this way to quickly, so lets thank them by giving them decent retirements and joining a union (make it better)
@Porkusido thoose ideals fell decades ago... society today is not a place were you'll be accepted for who you are and for what u are capable of. There is but one rule and it doesn't even apply to thoose who can use it. Money, it rules all. "All hail capitalism" >_<
Ps.There's alot that could be added to what i just posted. Try using your common sense if u are replying to this comment.
@Grivahri Men snälla, läs kommentaren innan du svarar på den..
Som jag sagt tidigare så har jag aldrig påstått att LÅTEN är rassistisk, bara att idioterna som vill att den skall bli SVERIGES nationalsång är helt ute och cycklar då den inte på något sätt handlar om Sverige.
Okunskap är ibland pinsamt, att svara på något utan att läsa det är galet irriterande för alla andra.
@Grivahri Jobbigt att din vackra, patriotiska sång inte handlar om Sverige va?
Den handlar om urinvånarna, alltså Samerna när han sjöng i Sverige och indianerna när han sjöng på eurovision.
Åtminstone kolla upp såna basala fakta om låten innan du skriver något så dumt, och som sagt, läs de kommentarer från den du skall skriva till innan du skämmer ut dig.
@Porkusido Låter som att du har något uppstoppat i röven. Jag vet vad den handlar om men det betyder inte att den inte skulle vara en härlig och mäktig nationalsång. Snacka om okunskap då det är i själva verket du som inte läser/förstår min kommentar och inte vice versa. Jag tycker bara att du skriver en massa skit och dessa två kommentarer du skrev var nog det löjligaste jag läst på länge. Ha en trevlig dag.
Whats funny with some of the comments here is that they think Roger is singing about Sweden and the Swedish people.. hes not and those people have just proven themselves retarded!
Roger Pontare himself denied every claim like this from the extreme right himself after singing it at eurovision song contest, saying that hes singing about the native peoples (at Eurovision he meant the indians in America.)
When he sings it in Sweden, hes singing about the sami people.
Roger Pontare is such a fucking weirdo. He thinks he's some kind of native that lives in the nature and stuff. But he lives in a villa in Stockholm and drives a huge jeep.
hammerfall körde den här med pontare på en av deras konserter, jävligt bra. tyvärr är uppladdningen här på Ytube lite dålig kvallite. men ta och kolla in den !
@Longbluecoat If he would be performing in swedish with subtitles instead of translating it into some half-assed junk I bet he would stand a chance against those "fags"
Shit we have soo mutch to pay back for american indians and for my sake samer and the list go long... this song... going to eko in my mind .... i dident do a shit then but it is my duty to clean up the past !!!
@denni342 yet the fag brought you to 3rd place, and I believe this ended up sixth? Times changes, even though this song is awesome, it wouldn't fit in 2011..
@peaceandlovemotherfs Sorry but if you get many votes in ESC it doesn't mean you're good.... Maybe many years ago but the last years weren't that good..
@ExtendedSpace i dont see the problem, stop giving a fuck about what others think! go out and sing our national anthem as loud as you fucking can and if some one calls you racist flip them off and continue singing!
The only thing that means any thing is what you think and to hell with the rest :D
"Now day's, we cant even sing our own National Anthem without being called racist's."
Thats totally untrue. Some extreme patriots have conspiracy theories about things like that. Probably in all the swedish schools we sing the national anthem on graduation etc. Maybe there are a few expections.
But of course if you go around and sing the national anthem loudly on the streets for no reason, people will think you are retarded or extreme right activist.
@Flyingtart In my city in norrland there was a student who couldnt wear a t shirt with the national anthem on the back.. And we didnt celebrate the exams in the church anymore because of the minorty who wasent christian -.-.. So yeah its pretty true, thank god we are starting to sing the anthem at the exams again and celebrating in church.. wonder why ? :)
@ExtendedSpace First of all, hes singing about the native people of Sweden, not the swedes in general (probably not about you)
Secondly, thats BS.
We sing the national anthem quite ofthen, it just sounds weird to all of a sudden start singing it in the street.
Newsflash by the way, the 2 groups who most actively celebrates Swedens nationalday is the immigrants and the far right (racists all the way up to nazi groups)
Maybe its the far right that ruined all these things..
You sure of that? It's more like a fantasy sami theme on his clothes with indian themed song. It's not necissarily about north american indians. More like fantasy sami-indians.
@Flyingtart Im sure, he has said it him self and the axe he sings about in the swedish version is a tomahawk becuse sami people never seen the axe as a symbol as the Indians did, The song is about when the europeans invaded North Amerika and also there is a North American indian on stage dancing.
Oh well but he is from Lapland and he is dressed like a sami, not like an indian. That's why I supposed this song could be placed outside history and be more like a fantasy.
Oh Sweden looked down on it? Stop being a paranoid bitch. We fucking voted this to the Eurovision. Atleast I did. Also you should not have skipped your english lessions.
It's less controversial to have far right wing ideas now than it ever was in the past, so please shut up and enjoy your opinions.
@Flyingtart ... I just told you my opinion on how it looks in sweden - MY OPINION, and everyone i know sees the same. And who cares about spelling in comments? It isnt highschool or political reports.
To be honest this guy has a good voice, just that all the rest makes him look like an idiot. Come to the UK Roger. This is beneath you. We will help you get sorted.
@TheImamo93 lol upset? i'm just saying that indians and samer aint the same, they got nothing to do with each other. we've never had indians in sweden
@fisknyll1 lol why would I be xD anyway, they do actully have a lot in common if u would see how they live! I've studied these tribes, trust me, I know this and that is why ppl tend to think they are dressed up as indians.
@TheImamo93 It's not an indian costume. The clothes are from Sweden's native habitants SAMER. I don't think that was clear enough in the performance, so people thought we made a song about native americans. A bit sad because if you look at it from this point of view, the song becomes so much more powerful.
@TheImamo93 well.. depends on. but the thing I meant was that the performance was about our country and culture, not USA. what ever it means to be an indian or same is not mine to comment.
@chanctonbury63 WTF!!!!!!!!! you know, in the freaking swedish version he sings "aldrig sviker jag mitt land" which means "i will never let down my country", so why would he go to UK ???
@plupp1master He might get himself a decent singing career instead of prancing around the Eurovision in silly clothes. Anyway whats freaky about the Swedish version?
@kokasosi There is a theory that the weaker the song the more spectacular the costumery and effects are. This is a perfect example of that. Cheap vacuum packed Eurocrap.
han är helt klockren som en svensk förebild , denna Låten har vad dom nordiska länder förknippas med för resten av världen , fattar inte varför sverige alltid tar skit som Carola när gudar som roger Pontare finns , hade han sjungit denna låten vid nästa Eurovision hade han lätt vunnit fast bara om han sjunger den på svenska ;p blir mer Nordisk då
WONDERFUL song!!! Such a great singing voice!!! Sweden deserved a higher placing with this. Even I agree the Swedish version is better but never mind. Excellent Song!!
@termometen In the swedish version, he is singing about how he retreated up to the mountains and heard winds (read:spirits in the wind) which whispered warcries to him, and gave him the final will to defend his country. Kind of. And more :)

@MuppNilsson To bad sweden looked down on this artist. Same with Nordman, Hel etc.
It was just about new, new this, new that, legeal immigrants (i dont mind that), freedom in sweden, no nordic athem music.
Now day's, I cant even love my own country, i'll be called racist.
Now day's, we cant even sing our own National Anthem without being called racist's.
I miss the 90's when we could listned to Nordic and love our country, with out been called racist.

@ExtendedSpace i dont see the problem, stop giving a fuck about what others think! go out and sing our national anthem as loud as you fucking can and if some one calls you racist flip them off and continue singing!
The only thing that means any thing is what you think and to hell with the rest :D

"Now day's, we cant even sing our own National Anthem without being called racist's."
Thats totally untrue. Some extreme patriots have conspiracy theories about things like that. Probably in all the swedish schools we sing the national anthem on graduation etc. Maybe there are a few expections.
But of course if you go around and sing the national anthem loudly on the streets for no reason, people will think you are retarded or extreme right activist.

@Flyingtart In my city in norrland there was a student who couldnt wear a t shirt with the national anthem on the back.. And we didnt celebrate the exams in the church anymore because of the minorty who wasent christian -.-.. So yeah its pretty true, thank god we are starting to sing the anthem at the exams again and celebrating in church.. wonder why ? :)

@ExtendedSpace First of all, hes singing about the native people of Sweden, not the swedes in general (probably not about you)
Secondly, thats BS.
We sing the national anthem quite ofthen, it just sounds weird to all of a sudden start singing it in the street.
Newsflash by the way, the 2 groups who most actively celebrates Swedens nationalday is the immigrants and the far right (racists all the way up to nazi groups)
Maybe its the far right that ruined all these things..

You sure of that? It's more like a fantasy sami theme on his clothes with indian themed song. It's not necissarily about north american indians. More like fantasy sami-indians.
Flyingtart 1 week ago
@Flyingtart Im sure, he has said it him self and the axe he sings about in the swedish version is a tomahawk becuse sami people never seen the axe as a symbol as the Indians did, The song is about when the europeans invaded North Amerika and also there is a North American indian on stage dancing.
Jakelol1980 1 week ago
@Jakelol1980
Oh well but he is from Lapland and he is dressed like a sami, not like an indian. That's why I supposed this song could be placed outside history and be more like a fantasy.

TheImamo93 9 months ago
@TheImamo93 It's not an indian costume. The clothes are from Sweden's native habitants SAMER. I don't think that was clear enough in the performance, so people thought we made a song about native americans. A bit sad because if you look at it from this point of view, the song becomes so much more powerful.

han är helt klockren som en svensk förebild , denna Låten har vad dom nordiska länder förknippas med för resten av världen , fattar inte varför sverige alltid tar skit som Carola när gudar som roger Pontare finns , hade han sjungit denna låten vid nästa Eurovision hade han lätt vunnit fast bara om han sjunger den på svenska ;p blir mer Nordisk då
