Hey Jonathan. Thank you for keeping my father’s music alive. He sure had a unique voice and your reaction to it is just perfect 😂. A fitting homage. Hitting that subscribe button right away!
Hi Ludvig! This week this song was in my Spotify radar, I listened to it many times since it's great and I like it much. Now I've just put Pierre to my favourites as started to listen to his other songs! Jonathan's reaction was honest I've smiled the whole song again with him! :)
Wow! I’m glad you like it. There’s more music on the way, I’m slowly releasing and producing new versions of his rough demo songs that never came out. Hope you’ll enjoy those as well. Thank you for your kind words.
Jag har hört din pappas låt spelas frekvent bland epatraktorraggarna här omkring där jag bor (glesbygd, Västerbotten) tillsammans med Sven-Ingvars och Lasse-Stefanz. Allt kommer tillbaka i sinom tid. Musik som jag förknippar med min föräldrageneration hörs återigen bland vår tids unga.
Idag spelar jag denna låten till ära av min styvpappa som somnade in inatt. Det var han som introducerade Pierres musik för mig. Han hade lika fantastisk basröst som Pierre och jag minns hur avundsjuk jag var som inte fick ha sådan fantastisk röst.
Practically, the song is about a popular toy for many Swedish kids, back in the days. A toy steam machine. On a deeper level, it is about having alone time and calm down in a nice way. He experiences too much of parties where he needs to be social, smile all the time and he simply needs some time alone. And down in the basement he has his old toy steam machine. When he runs it, it makes him calm. It is about retreating to get some mental peace. :)
Pierre's deep voice is among the deepest among artists that have ever gone popular. There's only a select group of people I know of which can sing that deep, they all happen to be Russian choir singers... so in that respect Pierre is a legend. He took the Swedish people's hearts with his voice.
His son released a new song last year, from an old casette tape his father had recorded home at the kitchen table, with just a guitar. The son produced it, and added singing. "The first time I heard the result, I got teary eyed. Now he lives again, the voice is back, the one no one can imitate. It´s fantastic to sing with him", the son said. You can check out "Jul i Sahara" if you like. It´s not a Swedish classic, since it´s just released last year, so it´s nothing to react to, but if you like to just hear this special voice again.
This is what this artist is famous for ..his dark voice...and it´s a pun in the text saying he will go down in his basement...!! I loved this song when I grew up..it was a fun song..!
@@johanfagerstromjarlenfors I don't know anything about this guy either and can't remember have heard his name and I'm nearly 50 and recognice the song from radio.
I got another of these reaction videos suggested to me today. I liked it and went to the channel to see which songs were reacted to already. When I saw this song there, I had to watch it. The deep tone along with the pun of going down in the lyrics is a great combo. This is also a great song in these times. Find a hobby that makes you happy and forget the world for a moment.
This dude made swedish versions of american Country songs. His Swedified version of C.W.McCall's "convoy" is both epic and hilarious ("vägens vänner"), as well as his cover of "The Gambler" (Kenny Rogers). He died tragically young.
This deep voice is a feature in and of itself! Just listening to this deep voice can probably help people with depression feeling better (or at least comfortable). I agree with your assertion that it's not a banger, it just isn't that. But it's such a special song, nothing like it really. I think he did some song that got even deeper than this, something to investigate :), great reaction as always :)
Haha I wasn't ready either damn that was a deep voice. By the name I had no idea what the song was, then as it started I recognized it and definently at the chorus but I must have heard people sing parts of it or heard it a long long time ago. Also had no knowlage of the artist so loved getting to know about him but sad to hear how he died. I remember the Estoniakatastrofen, that it was on the news and that a lot of people died but not that it was 800! I was only 12 back in 1994 so I probably didn't follow the news that much but it's absolutly something I remember. About the audio I still do not think it as good as it was without the mic at the start of the video but then it got better and great volume on the song.
Never heard this before, was awesome! Very fun to see your reaction to that bass of a voice! Feel that the technical stuff is better in this video compared to the previous one. No camera lagging at all. The only thing i'd suggest further would be trying to level the volume on yourself and the music you play. Your voice and the added BG-music was at a lower volume so i had to turn it up, but then the song was at a louder volume so had to turn it down. Not enough of a gap so it hurt my ears but i tend to have a pretty low volume on with my earbuds.
Trevligt tema! Jag hade uppskattat om ett litet ursnitt av videon gick in på textens beskaffenhet. Det finns väldigt mycket "djup" i de känslor som förmedlas. Det gåvo oss eftertanke.
i have a lot of joy seeing your vids, like myself growing up hearing these. perhaps.. just add a lyrics translation to the no swedishspeaking viewers? all your vids is 3 yrs old so it might be to late.
Cacka Israelsson gjorde en efterföljare till den här låten som heter " Då går jag ner under källare". Lyssna gärna på den! 😁 Några andra artister som är värda att lyssna på är Gunnar Wiklund med "Nu tändas åter ljusen.." , " Vi ska gå hand i hand" m,fl och Lena Andersson med "Är det konstigt..", " Säg det med en sång" m.fl
I play online games a lot with a small group of friends from a few parts of the world. Everytime I’ve built a cellar in minecraft or eco I start to sing this song and thus it is a known tune among us and Källare is one of the few swedish words they know ❤
Here's the translation to English: At home, they like parties With pomp and circumstance With tuxedos among our guests I smile and move away And after a few hours Everything is a big fuss I then seek a quieter level That's when I go down to my basement Where I live more seldom For there I keep my old steam engine I feed it with meta tablets Listen and forget the time Have a glass of wine in the steam from the engine Many days are dull And many skies are gray If the next day is the last I prefer it to be blue But should something happen That no one can control I know quite certainly what I'll do Then I go down to my basement Where I live more seldom For there I keep my old steam engine I feed it with meta tablets Listen and forget the time Have a glass of wine in the steam from the engine Then I go down to my basement Where I live more seldom For there I keep my old steam engine I feed it with meta tablets Listen and forget the time Have a glass of wine in the steam from the engine Then I go down to my basement Where I live more seldom For there I keep my old steam engine I feed it with meta tablets Listen and forget the time Have a glass of wine in the steam from the engine
Thanks for your true reactions. And Yeah, that was the thing about his voice. It was certainly deep but still held the tone. Usually, we know that black people has a naturally deeper voice than white, and one wouldn't expect that from him I guess. But you know, there's a deeper story about him rather than his tragic fate on Estonia, he had a lot of material to release and was about to do a comeback. Luckily his son found the material after many years and digitally remastered and fixed it all. His memory is preserved and so very appreciated.
This was hilarious. Jag hade glömt bort denna, men jag är född 1971 så jag växte upp med en kärlek för källare det va säkert 😂🤗 Kanske därför jag faktiskt har en väldigt djup röst själv. Ooo🤪
Spot on sailing/working song! Har inte tänkt på det innan men det har du helt rätt i. Kul att du trodde det skulle bli någon gansterrap 😅 ganska långt ifrån!
You should listen to Cacka Israelssons Jag går ned under källaren, where he makes fun of this song by going even deeper. He sings about hearing his neighbour in his basement and him having a really highpitched and shrill voice 😂
I will concede it is a Swedish classic, but as a Stockholm boy (of 51) we don't get much dansband/schlager - so I haven't heard it since I was a kid. Still, I did remember the low voice and the lyrics, so clearly I must have heard it many times.
@@OjsMatte Haha, yeah I saw that. I was looking at the actual video when I saw in the comments that he was in the Estonia catastrophe, in the Amerikanen Reacts video I had skipped the talk before the actual music so I didn't know that he knew about it. Nice that he does his research!
On a sad note. His manager who was supposed to pick him up was one of the people interviewed by the news crews on the morning of the estonia sinking at the terminal in stockholm. He was not hopeful as only about 80 people where thought rescued at the time but gave the guys name to the camera as rescued people had been flown to hospitals in finland and Sweden.
just stumbled in here and gotta say, your swedish is amazingly good. are one of your parents or maybe even both of them swedish but you were born in america, or whats going on here?
Haha I knew basically nothing about Sweden until I met my wife in 2005. But thanks for the compliment! I worked hard to get good at Swedish and I had the best teacher (my wife's grandmother Birgitta)! I always got good grades in Spanish class in school so I'm guessing I may catch on to language easily?
I think the singer in the band Crash Test Dummies (remember that Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm song from 1991?) can compete with Pierre Isacsson with voice deepness, but I dunno, Pierres might be a little deeper.
Jonathan jag önskar att du spelar något av min favorit artist Jill Johnson hon är en artist med olika changer inom musik ballader,country och typ Melodifestivalen var hon med en sång i Holland blev femma där låten var "Kärleken är " hon är känd artist med "Jill Veranda på SVT" vet ej vilken om det är TV1 eller TV2 kolla det.🤔🤗🌞
It was a loss, but according to survivors he helped a lot of people reach the life boats and worked completely selflessly during the whole thing. So I'm sure many families are thankful he was there.
