First let me say I like your voice very much. I usually don't like this type of singing but you carry a kind and original spirit in your voice that is not typical so I should think that you should get signed, hopefully will Fredrika. P.S. do you like Calamine?
you sing this song in the only way a song should be sung... that is to say, ecstatically
(i paraphrase john updike =P)
just the choice of words in your first line, "peacock spreads its fan", is so original, and such a pleasant surprise =)
and the way you toss your head, and all your facial expressions... they are a portrait of delight :)
i should probably quit harping on this video =P but i only just remembered it and my excitement on first seeing it. i feel compelled to flood the comments.
this is a real gem : ) it has the magical quality of great art.
i really love the sophisticated slant rhyme in the lyrics. the first stanza blows me away.
i also like the shock value of the last stanza. bind me a rope, of hardship... of bone. however, the one thing i'd be critical of is the last line of the last stanza, "my bone". since the irony has already been accomplished, it seems a little awkward to hear it again.
very minor criticism though. i really love this song.
hm, i may be off in my criticism. while i have a good poetry background, i know comparatively little about music. anyways, thanks for sharing the song =)
Wow! I've listened to a few of your songs and i think your song writing is incredible. I really hope you make it and the world gets to hear what you have to say
This was song I favorited about 1yr ago.I am now looking at your other songs-I am belated.This song is catchy,music blends well with lyrics although lyrics was a little hard to understand at 1st.I like this song very much!
your awsome!!! you make me want to move to sweden!! ;), was that capoed in A? just wondering. once again your really cool and tallented, I apluad you.
You have many friends/fans in this world. Your gift will make a place for you (bibel proverben 18:16), bli uppmuntrat. Some of us are making a very nice living as artists. From a portrait artist and musician in Texas, USA. Timothy
Alot better than your Antony Hegarty cover, but you need to get better sound equipment, your voice and guitar dont come near what they should be. But I like it...
How'd I overlook this song before!? I just watched a tribute video with it...it's wondeful. I listened to Fredika's songs on Valentine's Day for an hour. Fredrika, your music has become a great companion. And thanks for writing back to me. You are the greatest!! :)
niiiiiiice .... im constantly promoting you overhere in holland even before the article in the papers overhere. we all love you overhere(all the guys from custom radio) hope you are getting a contract soon because we want you to show up in holland heheheh. take care and keep singing/writing those great songs
En hilsen fra Danmark. Hvis jeg en dag kommer til Sverige og du spiller i den by jeg er i, vil jeg gøre alt for at høre dig spille. Elsker dine sange.
I just discovered your music over here and I just can't get enough of it, I especially like this song... You're a great singer and musician!
I'm glad your gig was in may, I went to Sweden a few weeks ago and it would have been terrible to find out you played a gig when I was there without knowing it. :-)
This has to be one of my Favourite Karin song ever posted, S3VIARONTE comments below make me feel he/she is somewhat jealour of your tallent. Ignore those and keep going, great songs great song writing.
WHOA! The first happy mooded song from you! I mean seriously happy (Atleast sounding to my ears) This one made my smile, dance and caught real emotion from me!
Seriously! Your best one yet! Comparable to any great song of any great band/songwriter!
It's incredible how you remind me of myself playing guitar at home and writing songs and lyrics and whatever came out of my heart, some years ago... I feel that our souls are linked in some way... thank you for this song, I love it.
wow, amazing imagary def one for the faves, loved it, gives me so many mental pictures + crazy thoughts, brilliant lyrics + love the melody too, you rule!
Great song Karin - another super original from you, and it's made better by knowing your other songs and what you can do. Strat makes a good point I never really thought about before - you are amazing at pulling great sound out of nylon strings. 5/5.
great songwriting and very enjoyable guitar (surprisingly strong for a nylon string) and pretty vocals! gotta lov the Strat in the backround ;o)five stars and a sub fom me ;o)
I just talked to him and he says he's already subscribed to your channel. He as a channel that is dedicated to original music. I think you can find it under The Original Music Database or you can look under the most responded list, it's there too! :)
Yeah I've been talking to him, I'm just a bit slow when it comes to that =) I'm sure I could be way better promoting myself here, I just happen to be a lazybum!
BTW, I like the long bangs. It gives you an edgy look. Your hair parted in the middle looks too mainstream. And you want to be edgy, not mainstream. :)
I love it. I've been listening to the myspace one. I love the harmony, and the sound quality is great. How did you do that!? It's a really pretty song. good work.
David, you beat me to the punch! Fredrika Damn that was sooooo good. This is one I could (and will) listen to again and again! 5/5 , favorited, and stored on my hard drive! AWESOME, simply awesome! ~Larry
You just keep getting better and better. Really love the lyrics on this one in particular. I think even Leonard Cohen would step back and say, "Damn... this girl has talent!"
