Stumble to fall lyrics titiyo biography

What could possibly be better than listening to the 100 best songs of the year? Well, how about listening to them while reading the stories behind them? Upon compiling last year’s list in the final weeks of 2013 I felt that among the hundreds, maybe thousands, of year end lists carefully put together by like-minded people like myself, there was usually something lacking: the perspective of the artists themselves. It’s easy for everyone of us writers to have opinions and thoughts about each song, but wouldn’t it be nice to have their true back stories, instead of us guessing things?

So, just like I did last year, again in 2014 I asked the artists if they would consider sharing everything they remembered from writing and recording their song. More than a third responded. And they willingly let us take a deep look into their creative process, with everything from personal downs to party nights acting as fuel to making music. Some songs were long in the making, some s

”I couldn’t breathe. Couldn’t move, couldn’t push him off. As black engulfed me, I thought, ‘This is how I die’…”

Somebody once said that the song stories in this unique year-end list are ”like the printed utgåva of Behind The Music”. These stories are important, to me at least, but hopefully also to both the artist and the listener. Often very informative, an opportunity to have a candid look at Picasso’s sketches. Always ear-opening and sometimes quite humourous. However, they rarely contain sentences as harrowing as the one above.

What’s really behind the music is life. Sadly, sometimes also the opposite. Marie Danielle‘s painful recount of how domestic violence nearly ended hers gives evidence to the true power of music: by what’s told in the time span of three minutes, the trauma of near-death experience gets almost too vivid. In addition to hearing the song, reading the story behind Slave Ships takes you on a journ

Popular music in Sweden

Swedish popular music, or shortly Swedish pop music, refers to music that has swept the Swedish mainstream at any given point in recent times. After World War II, Swedish pop music was heavily influenced by American jazz, and then by rock-and-roll from the U.S. and the U.K. in the 1950s and 1960s, before developing into dansband music. Since the 1970s, Swedish pop music has come to international prominence with bands singing in English, ranking high on the British, New Zealand, American, and Australian charts and making Sweden one of the world's top exporter of popular music by gross domestic product.^[1]

History

Post-war

[edit]

With the influx of American G.I.s into Europe in the 1940s, styles of American music seeded themselves into Swedish culture. Many Swedish dansorkestrar ("dance orchestras") played jitterbug, foxtrot, and swing music and other jazz-derived tunes for people to dance to. In the 1950s early rock and roll, as
