ERIIC GROMWALL - Du gamla, du fria | OLDSKULENERD REACTION | 

Midsummer, Swedens real national day, its the longest day with not much night. Love it!

From Italy directly to Sweden - couldn't have chosen it better than with Tommy and Erik. Welcome back - and Glad Midsommar. 🎶

Proud to be Swede! Love this

Sometimes I think it's amazing that the Church manages to, almost, eliminate the beliefs in the Nordic Gods, but having people to not believe in the entities that live in the forest or in your house and barn never really went away. My grandmother in Sweden used to tell the most amazing stories about Näcken, Vittra, Älvor , Vättar, Tomtar, Troll, Bergsrået, Skogsrået and so many others. So as a kid I always tried to find them out in the woods.

Happy Midsummer from Stockholm, Sweden! Erik does a really beautiful version of our national anthem in this one. Fun fact, this song is not officially our national anthem (we don't have one actually), but it has become the de facto one, just like with e.g. Finland and UK. 💙💛💙

Thank you so much for your reaction to Erik 🇸🇪🥰

Thank you so much OldSkuleNerd! ❤ Love from Sweden 🇸🇪 Glad midsommar! ❤️

"You ancient, you free, You mountainous north. You silent, you joyous beauty. I greet you, lovliest land upon our earth. Your sun, your heaven, your meadows green. Thy sun, thy heaven, thy meadows green. You throne on memories from great olden days. Once honoured, your name flew across the earth. I know that you are, and remain what you were. Yes I want to live, I want to die in the North! Yes I want to live, I want to die in the North!" Verse 3 and 4 (rarely ever sung and not a lot of people know them since they were added later): "I stand and want to serve you, my beloved country. Your faithfulness to the death I swear to you. Your right I will defend, with will and with hand. Your banner, high its greatness carries! Your banner, high its greatness carries! With God, I shall fight for home and for hearth. For Sweden, the beloved foster earth. I change you not for anything in this world. No, I want to live, I want to die in the North! No, I want to live, I want to die in the North!"

"...🎶 ja, jag vill leva, jag vill dö i Norden..🎶" ( =Yes, I want to live and die in the North). That's home, that's what I want🇸🇪. Great reaction, btw! 🤗

Thanks for a beautiful midsommar celebration..

Glad Midsommar from Sweden! This is one of my absolute favourite recordings of our national anthem.

Erik Grönwall

I listened with my hand on my heart. This is wonderful!❤

Grönwall!

As I understand it, Norway, Denmark, Finland and at least Latvia scare away their witches at midsummer with fires (I don't know how it is with Iceland and the other Baltic countries?). In Sweden we scare away our witches with bonfires on April 31, so we can instead concentrate on what is important at midsummer: making fun of the French (the little frogs) while dancing around a big phallus and drinking schnapps. Skål!

The Swedish flag is the sun and the blue sky. There are 4 verses in this beautiful song/anthem. Have a great Midsummer! 🇸🇪🌻🇸🇪

Proud to be swede 🇸🇪❤️🇸🇪

The fact is that it isn't Swedens official national anthem. The swedish government has several times voted down appeals to make it official. The reasoning is that the sing so deeply accepted as a national anthem and therefore they won't make it official by a law. Sounds strange? Well, we are a strange country :-)

Sweden isent dark 😂 just up north its dark and cold

Hey you have no stuff talking like you do it's making me arg!

jonna jintons are better
