Day 1 - What is the "birthday song" of your TL? (Part 1/2 - svenska)
30 day language blog challenge by @moltre-s
Det finns fler olika födelsedagssånger som används i Sverige, men sången som sjungs huvudsakligen när någon fyller år heter "Ja, må han leva". Här är sångens text:
Ja, må han leva!
Ja, må han leva!
Ja, må han leva uti hundrade år!
Javisst ska han leva!
Javisst ska han leva!
Javisst ska han leva uti hundrade år!
Naturligtvis kan man också byta ut ordet "han" mot rätt pronomen för personen som sången sjungs till - till exempel "Ja, må hon leva" eller "Ja, må du leva" - eller "Ja, må ni leva" om man sjunger låten till fler människor.
Det var intressant för mig att lära mig det här eftersom det finns en födelsedagssång med samma melodi på tyska (mitt modersmål). Oftast använder vi bara en tysk version av "Happy Birthday", men man kan också sjunga "Hoch soll er leben". Därför var melodin i den svenska låten förvånansvärt känd för mig.
Och här är en video för att ni kan höra födelsedagssångens melodi:

Glam metal Idia ✨️
And actually the second time I draw him in a glam outfit heehee. That concludes the lil' drawings of my faves in outfits from different musical scenes
Well, almost..
Country Rook take me home jumpscare
I put way too much effort in this joke no way I'm rendering this
+lil bonus of all of the faves, rook is casually comitting country crimes and got banned from many states

Wille’s Sång
Det har varit vi två
Det finns inget jag vill glömma
Men lova mig, snälla svär
Att de som inte kan förstå
Inte får dig att gömma
Den du innerst inne är
Minns du när du sa
”Alla människor är fejk?”
Bara kall metall och på låtsas
Men inte du
Låt din sorg lysa klart
Det finns ingenting att dölja
Låt dem se dig som du är
Det var aldrig vi som var fel
Och vi behöver inte följa
Andras väg och vart den bär
Och minns du när du sa:
”Jag skulle kunna får vara fri?”
Jag hoppas du nån gång når dit
Och får vara du
För vi var en revolution
Om än bara för varandra
Det ska inte vara en revolution
Att älska någon annan
Men du var min revolution
Innan allt föll samman
Föll samman, föll samman.

The songs of Young Royals - S1E2 & E3
And I'm back with another song analysis article ^^ You can find the first one (in which I covered the songs from S1E1) here.
I'm gonna do 2 episodes in this post because there are not many songs in episodes 2 and 3!
No tomorrow, Ty Frankett, Stephane Lo Jacomo and Myariag Summers
I'll be in my feels
They know I'm the truth
When I'm pullin' up I'm bulletproof
I don't really care 'bout the rules
The most cool Wilhelm has ever looked ^^ He was all blushing and stressed during lunch about what almost happened with Simon, but here he's collected, alone but looking like he doesn't care and just plays it cool. He's the Prince so I guess it's true that the "rules" don't really apply to him but is he "bulletproof"? Unfortunately the whole debacle that is gonna happen with the sex video will prove that statement wrong... (We also know that most of the students at Hillerska don't care that much about the rules, and August says it himself: they could "murder someone and nobody would say a word")
ALPHA, Yung Titties
ABC I'm the alpha bitch
If you wanna know who runs this shit
ABC I'm the alpha bitch
When I'm in a car, I'm driving
When I'm on a date, I'm buying
Yes girls!! They run this shit ^^ I like that they choose this song when we see the 4 girls hanging out together. I do like them (Felice, Stella, Frederika and Madison) (putting Sara on the side because *complicated feelings*) They're far from perfect but compared to most of the guys in the school, they're pretty cool. I love Felice and how smart/nice/strong she is, and I love her friendship with Wilhelm later on. I hope she'll become even more badass in season 3!! And Madison is the best (and one of the few people in this school who is not terrible to Simon). The song stops as soon as August arrives and takes a chair to sit next to Wilhelm: because yeah, he's not an "alpha". I like that Madison and Felice don't take shit from August: when he starts mocking Simon and Sara (after Felice invites them to the movie night), they immediately tell him off. Then we see Vincent and Nils join August and start bothering the girls (throwing gums/candies at them) and they're not impressed: it's a very short scene but it highlights the fact that they're not interested in their stupid behavior. It's also the episode in which we see the difference between the girls and the boys when it comes to their relationships: we learn at the beginning that Madison and Nils hooked up during the party, but also that Nils was bragging about it and giving the experience a 9/10 while Madison admits doing it mostly because she was bored and not being at all into Nils. We also see August pursuing Felice who is not interested at all.
Who run the world? Girls!!
Äter upp dig, Maxida Märak
Nu ska vi leka hela världen är våran
Huh inga hinder är för svåra
Flyger över alla jag är lätt som en fjäder
Strike like a pro BDSM läder
Good boys gone bad
Alla ser rött King Kong gone mad
Jag är blöt du är naken
Okay so it's a bit hard to do this one because it's in Swedish and I'm definitely not there yet with this language ^^' From what I understand with the translated lyrics, it's quite a "sexy" song (with some violent undertones: being a wolf, being naked, being wet, good boys gone bad, etc.). The first sentences are about playing and how they have the whole world, which is interesting because it's the parents day at Hillerska and we are introduced to a lot of upper class people, people who have a lot of money and power. In this sense, they are the people who can use the world as a playground: they have the means for that. They're rich and powerful, they're above. The lyrics are also about getting angry though, "seeing red, King Kong gone mad": a little nod to Simon and Sara being pebbles that are gonna throw the whole machinery off? During the lunch, Sara is going to mess up Felice's family with the riding issue (and they're the richest family apparently!). Wilhelm is also gonna upset the order by not sitting at August's table but choosing instead the one table with a family that doesn't belong to Hillerska's upper class environment. So I guess yeah, things aren't going to go that well. And to top it off, August is gonna learn that his family is in fact broke! Oh, how the rich and mighty have fallen...
Hillerska Song
Hope and faith wherever we roam
As we make our way back home
Oh, we meet with open hearts
Another one in Swedish but with the English subtitles directly in the show so it makes it easier to understand ^^
Simon and Wilhelm look SO happy and smiling and smitten in this scene 💜 I like the idea of making their "way back home" because they're not there yet, but they're getting there: being a safe space, being home for each other. And yeah in this scene they still have "open hearts", because Erik has not died yet, because the sex tape hasn't been made/released yet, because none of the awful stuff that is going to make them close in on themselves has happened yet.
And Wilhelm is so cute and happy (and it's gonna become very rare to see him like that afterward) that this song deserves another picture ^^
