Summer In Our Hearts
With Summer coming to an end (unless you’re in Southern California), I have created a special playlist to feature some of my favorite songs. I’m hoping that with this list you can keep summer going in your heart and will warm you in the fall and winter months ahead. Also, it features some songs by artists on this site that have I have not posted on the blog. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have over the past few days as it’s gone through many changes just within the last hour. See this as a Thank You for all my followers new and old. You guys have sure made me feel special the past few days.
I’m From Barcelona – We’re From Barcelona
While in Sweden, I had the pleasure of going over to the house of Olaf and Tina from I’m from Barcelona. Tina has also supplied me with some bands to feature on the site. They were two of the nicest people I’ve had the pleasure of having fika with.
So now the time has come for me to feature one of their songs. I’m sure if you listen to this song it will immediately be stuck in your head all day long. I love the joyful feeling of this song. And guys, they aren’t from Barcelona, they come from Jönköping, Sweden.
Chirping – Ambitions
A few weeks ago I posted “A Million Lux” by Chirping that has quickly become part of my regular listening regime. Yesterday, they released a new song that leaves me anticipating their new album. I’m excited to hear more from these guys.
Imitation is the Sincerest Form of Flattery
All it took was someone to light a little fire under my ass to make me want to bring you guys a better blog and an easier way to enjoy the music that I love and hold dear to my heart. I dedicate hours of my time to bringing out what I feel is some of the best music in the world. This blog is my heart, my soul, this “music is my boyfriend”(To quote CSS from Brazil). I will continue to devote hours to bring you sweet sounds for all your pretty ears.
As you seen yesterday, I now have a Spotify account dedicated strictly to Swedes are Sweet. The playlists are divided into each month. I also realized not everyone has access to Spotify and you have to sign up to listen. So I have created a Souncloud account that will have playlists for you to access without having to sign up for their website. The playlists are not completed yet, but I will have them done soon. Please enjoy by clicking the link below.
Snäckan & Pärlan – Pisces
A quite lovely duo from Göteborg, Snäckan & Pärlan are a beautiful feast for your ears. Melancholy guitar melodies combined with melodic vocals are a true delight. You can also find more music through Rebekah Reinhard’s (the singer) solo page on Soundcloud. I’m including both for your listening pleasure.
Swedes are Sweet Has It’s Own Spotify Account
Last week, I quickly scrambled a playlist of songs on this site from my personal spotify account and I promised that I would soon have a break down of posts by month. So as promised, I have started breaking down the playlists by month on Spotify. It’s currently up to date and will be growing. I will include the new songs as I add them to the blog. That way if you want to listen to the music, you no longer need to head over to youtube and it’s all in one place.

School – Like You
Every time I see that School has released a new song I get excited. This is an album I have been anticipating for the past few months. They continue to not let us down with their new song “Like You”.
Thisell – A Town of Window
I had no idea what to expect when Thisell contacted me about their album released a few months ago. I heard folk and I automatically assumed it would be something I was opposed to. But I was completely wrong. I can’t stop listening to their music. Lyrically beautifully with entrancing melodies that pull you in. I found myself day dreaming as I listened to their album “I”. The first time I gave it a listen at work and I would like to say it was beautifully distracting. When I listened to it again, I found myself being pulled into a state of hypnosis where all I could do was focus on the beauty of their music. I recommend setting some time aside where you will be distracted by no one to click the video below and let them take you into a beautiful world through their lovely music.
Thank you Peter for sharing your music with me! Can’t wait to hear your new music in 2015!
Zhala – I’m in Love
New song from Robyn’s protege Zhala. Continuing with the weekend dance theme Zhala leaves you craving for more. Why do the Swedes love to Tease??
