Marie was asked to create the opening and theme song for a Swedish television show named "Sparvöga" that ran for one or two seasons. The show was about a young girl growing up in a rural village environment. You can still pull up episodes on RU-vid. The song became very popular in Sweden and was like a lullaby for little girls. The English lyrics lose a bit but are still beautiful if you look them up. This song well illustrates the difference between Marie's Roxette work with Per and her own personal creativity, which is deeper, not as commercial but very hàunting and beautiful.
I remember her for her great contribution to swedish music for 4 decades. This is an epic and beautiful song from her solo carrier. We will miss her - Radio Playback, Denmark
Tack för allt du gav❤️ tack för dina fantastiska texter❤️ till din musik har jag gråtit, skrattat och älskat💖 vila i frid du fina själ❤️ flyg lilla sparvöga💕🙏
Veldig rart å tenke på at nå er du ikke her. Så sånn opp til deg. Fremdeles selvfølgelig. Ingen ting starter ingen ting slutter. So grateful for understanding Swedish. Just alone the music.
Now while I'm watching this I cry 😭💔 Love you so much dear Marie and thank you for everything, above all, for being part of my life during app 30 years. RIP dear Marie 💐
Tack Marie. Here from Argentina we are so sad. we'll miss you. Per live is so short. .Walk so close to Jesus as you can. Marie is singing with ángels now. LOVE 😍
Hablo castellano pero esta canción me llega al corazón. Es la pasión con la que canta Marie supongo y su hermosa alma. Bella Marie, vive en nuestro corazón siempre! 🥰🥰🥰
Fly, my dearest... Fly up, spread your wings,... Sing,... Be happy out there... I love you. It was a great pleasure, to have YOU as a part of my world.
R I P Gwiazda przez ogromne G żywy dowód na to że na estradzie nie trzeba świecić gołym tyłkiem i pokazywać wulgarnych poz jak maja to w zwyczaju dzisiejsze gwiazdeczki Miała kobieta talent i pokazywała go na scenie nie jeden raz Wielki szacunek dla takich ludzi.Człowieka wychowały właśnie takie zespoły ( ukształtowały muzycznie) super wspomnienia PIERWSZA kaseta za kieszonkowe uciułane to Roxette Joyride Wielki szacun styl i klasa sama w sobie OBY te glupkowate pseudo gwiazdy dzisiejszych czasow wzorowalybsie na Was na nich. Śpij spokojnie Marysiu
Your voice was the only thing that brought me pure, magical, joy in life. Your songs lighted my darkest hours, I cherish you and celebrate what you gave the world. Thank you Marie, you will not be forgotten.
@osman Hussein اولا دين الإسلام دين تسامح و دين يحترم جميع الأديان و انا اعتقد انك لا تعلم شيئا عن الإسلام لان الإسلام دين أخلاق لان الله وصف محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم ب انه صاحب أخلاق عظيمة و في هجرة الرسول أوصى أصحابه بلذهاب إلى الحبشة و الاحتماء ب ملكها لأنه لا يظلم أحد و كان مسيحيا يجب عليك كمسلم احترام جميع الأديان و دع الخلق للخالق لان الله لم يجعلك خليفته في الأرض انت و امثالك يجعلون الآخرين يكرهون دين الإسلام و رب العالمين عندما امر موسى ان يذهب إلى فرعون قال له قل له قولا لينا و لم يقل له قاتله كفى جهل و قل خيرا او اصمت
I speak Swedish and I can't really tell... It feels like it is about letting go of someone you love because it's the best for them. Letting them fly free.
I had been to Sweden a few times before this song came out, But was there when this brilliant song came out in 89, 80's was such a good decade loved her solo stuff along with Per Gessle stuff- Also with Roxette stuff
***** In what way? I last went to Sweden this time in Gothenburg with my other half in Sept- Hadn't been there for a few years What we got annoyed about was the homeless women sitting down in parts of the city and outside in the suburbs we went to and they would be singing or going up to people while they were eating or sitting down asking for money That was like that whole 9 days we were there, Last time I went there a few years ago there were a few about but this time it was heaving with them
jösses asså. denna låt var en av de första låtarna jag kom i kontakt med när jag kom till sverige 1988. fastän jag då inte kunde svenska så fastnade ändå låten i min skalle. vacker låt oavsett om man förstår eller inte innehållet. tack för allt marie.
For those curious about the lyrics, here, have a rough English translation: You, little Sparrow-eye, fly across the meadows. Dream your dreams, as long as you feel life. You, little Sparrow-eye, fly across the meadows. Dream your dreams, as long as you feel life. Feel life. Our time is now, a black-white image, that turns to color, if you want. So many choices, so hard to see, when your brown eyes, want to see more. You, little Sparrow-eye, fly across the meadows. Dream your dreams, as long as you feel life. You, little Sparrow-eye, fly across the meadows. Dream your dreams, as long as you feel life. Feel life. Time it passes, life is so short. Far too short, to be hidden away. So do what you want, and flourish*. Enjoy your mirror-image, our time is now. You, little Sparrow-eye, fly across the meadows. Dream your dreams, as long as you feel life. You, little Sparrow-eye, fly across the meadows. Dream your dreams, as long as you feel life. You, little Sparrow-eye, fly across the meadows. Dream your dreams, as long as you feel life. You, little Sparrow-eye, fly across the meadows. * This part doesn't translate too easily. The original lyrics in Swedish go "...blomma ut". Now, "blomma ut" originally meant "to wither after flowering", however in more modern parlance it usually means "to flower; to flourish", possibly due to people confusing the phrases "blomma upp" and "slå ut (i blom)" with "blomma ut". Oftentimes you can figure out which meaning a person wants depending on context, but in this case it unfortunately remains unclear.
Jason, could it be a reference to her sister?! She shares a deep connection with her. And as we all know, parlance change and mix up, so Blomma ut and looking at the entire lyrical line, it would translate to blomma upp/flourish.
Marie Fredriksson - what can I say. The world has lost the most beautiful angel, but heaven has gained another perfect angel to sing to GOD. I hope wherever Marie is now she is without pain and suffering and in total peace. RIP goddess of my heart. Fly like a sparrow as you sing in this beautiful song.
*Saludos desde Caracas, Venezuela.* Yo lo digo y lo sigo sosteniendo: *_《Marie Fredriksson era una rolitranco de 'cantantaza'》,_* o sea, dicho de otro modo: Marie Fredriksson era una soberana cantante grandiosa, talentosísima, virtuosa de la entonación (oído perfecto) y de los improvisados melismas y además, tenía ese extraño talento de cantar muy bien la melodía que gravita en el segundo plano de la canción (la melodía que no es principal) porque eso te permite -cuando ella cantaba en vivo- hacer versiones improvisadas de temas ya exitosos de Roxette, pero que, al cambiarle el tono y el _tempo_ con que normalmente se canta, ella prácticamente, tranformaba esa canción en otra canción totalmente nueva con otra sonoridad reinante tan sólo con cambiarle el tono y cantarla con la melodía del segundo plano, por ejemplo. Para hacer esto que acabo de describir no solamente tienes que ser una cantante estudiada -entrenada en el canto- sino también debes de llevar ese talento musical pululando en la sangre y, Marie Fredriksson cada vez que abría la boca para cantar a nadie dejaba indiferente. Por eso es que para mí -no sé qué opina usted- Marie Fredriksson era una _"pavarotta"._ Mi Twitter es: *@ChaneGarcia.* ...
Sure it is, its about the sister who died only 20 years old, She is now flying as a sparrow :-) Im sure the image in the end is of her and Marie. RIP both.
Something about her voice and music does something to me. So beautiful... When was this recorded? I don't remember. Someday I want to buy her solo albums.... So beautiful.
I know... Just so beautiful. I still love her voice now, I just wish she could still sing some of those higher notes again. Need to get lyrics and put them into google to see what the song is talking about. Sounds sad.
Sparrow's eye Little sparrow's eye, fly over meadows Dream about your dreams as longs as you feel life Little sparrow's eye, fly over meadows Dream about your dreams as longs as you feel life... feel life Our moment is now, a black and white picture that becomes colorful If you want to So many choices, so diffcult to see when your brown eyes want to see more Little sparrow's eye, fly over meadows Dream about your dreams as longs as you feel life Little sparrow's eye, fly over meadows Dream about your dreams as longs as you feel life... feel life The time is passing by, life is too short Everything is too short to be hidden away So do what you want and and bloom Enjoy your reflection, our moment is now
Lots of support to Marie's family, friends and fans.. You were a true angel and you'll be very missed in this world.. Rest in peace the Queen of rain.. with ❤ from Ukraine 🌧
I was in my early teens when Roxette was popular here in the U.S. They faded from the U.S. music scene shortly afterwards and I forgot all about them until I heard Marie died. I'm only now discovering her old music and appreciating just how great a singer she was....damn
Today is Marie's birthday so I've come here to listen to one of my favourite songs of her. Dear Marie, may God bless you always. A hug and a lot of love from Chile
@@jan-jansoon2819 Thanks for your greetings. Hope you're fine. It's amazing how music join many people around the world 🤗 This was a special Marie's Birthday, for her family, friends and fans 💔 Dear Marie, rest in peace 💐
