Der findes så mange skønne tekster i musikkens verden...

Jeg har - I mit repertoire - valgt KUN at synge de tekster, jeg syntes at kunne "føle"...  
Det er mit håb at denne version af Lilholdts  smukke tekst understreger dette...

Kald det kærlighed er skrevet af Lars Lilholt / Kristian Lilholt Kristensen. 
Sangen blev oprindeligt udgivet i 1986 på albummet Portland og igen på Kontakt fra 1990. Sangen er desuden titelsang på albummet af samme navn fra 1993. 
Sangen blev ved årtusindeskiftet kåret som den næstbedste danske sang nogensinde, kun overgået af Gasolins "Kvinde min". 
Sangen er optaget blandt 12 evergreens i kulturkanonen i 2006.

Kald det kærlighed...

Jeg havde en ven, der gerne ville have denne sang sunget til et arrangement...
Jeg kendte den ikke - men blev vildt begejstret med teksten som Per Krøis Kjærsgaard på filosofisk vis har spundet til hans egen komposition...
Nu har jeg i en testindspilning fået den til at passere min hustru's kræsne øre... Men hvad mener du?

Kære Linedanser - TEST 230629

Grundet "en speciel situation", satte jeg mig i dag - 16. august 2023 - ind i mit lille simple hjemmestudie, og indsang den amerikanske contrysang af: JohnyChristoffer, Mark James & Wayne Carson.
Det er et absolut første optagelse, men vistnok ikke så ringe...
Men bedøm selv!
Backingen er købt og tilhører mig i mit virke med "Verdens Mindste Big Band"...
Varmeste hilsner Stefan...

Due to "a special situation", today - August 16, 2023 - I did go into
my "little simple home studio" and sang the American country song by: JohnyChristoffer, Mark James & Wayne Carson. It's an absolute "first shot" recording, but probably not that bad... But judge for yourself! The backing is bought and belongs to me in my work with "The World's Smallest Big Band"... Warmest greetings Stefan...

Always On My Mind...

Endnu en dag, hvor der bliver sang testet på mit lille hjemmesudie...
I dag var det så den Canadiske Sangskriver Gordon Lightfood's dejlige tekst fra 1964 handlende om udelængsel og savnet af sin hjemmegn og familie...
Et tema vi har hørt før, men her med en dejlig "contry like" melodi på et købt backing track...
Endnu en gang er det en første optagelse uden redigering... 
En tester!

Another day of song testing on my little home studio...
Today it was the Canadian Songwriter Gordon Lightfood's lovely text from 1964 about longing and missing his hometown and family...
A theme we have heard before, but here with a nice country like melody as bought backing...
Once again, it's a first shot with no editing…
A tester!

Early Morning Rain

Since I'm planning a trip to Scandinavian clubs in southern Europe, I'd like to expand my repertoire to also include newer Danish songs that have some good lyrics...
In this case, I try my hand at Ann Linnet's "Spring Day"
---
Da jeg er ved at planlægge en tur rundt til skandinaviske klubber i det sydlige Europa vil jeg gerne udvide mit repertoire til også at indeholde nyere danske sange der har nogle gode tekster... 
I dette tilfælde prøver jeg kræfter med Ann Linnet's "Forårsdag"

Forårsdag Test 231017

Endnu en lille test af en ældre dansk vise...
Visen "Noget om Helte" stammer fra Halfdan Rasmussens samling af Tosserier. Teksten er skrevet i en humoristisk tone, men indeholder samtidig en bekendelse til pacifismen i en tid med kold krig og trusler om klodens ødelæggelse. Jazzkomponisten Robert Normann står bag melodien, der kan spilles nodetro, men som også lægger op til en mere fri og swingende form.
Her er min foreløbelige version af denne vise...
----
Another small test of an older Danish sage with text by Halfdan Rasmussen.
The tune "Noget om Helte" originates from Halfdan Rasmussen's collection of Tosseries. The text is written in a humorous tone, but at the same time contains a confession to pacifism in a time of cold war and threats of the destruction of the planet. The jazz composer Robert Normann is behind the melody, which can be played faithfully, but which also leads to a more free and swinging form.
Here is my preliminary version of this song…

Noget Om Helte - TEST 240115

Den danske sangskat indeholder utrolig mange gode melodier med tilhørende gode tekster.
Det er en tradition, der går langt tilbage, hvilket understreges i denne lille tester af sangen “Jeg ved en lærkerede”.
Sangens tekst blev nemlig skrevet af Harald Bergsted allerede i 1921 og tre år efter - i 1924 lavede den danske komponist Carl Nielsen sin melodi til teksten.
Jeg har forsøgt, at give det hele et lille pust, og enkelte steder rykket en smule ved melodien for at fremhæve den fine tekst…
Her er således min foreløbelige version af denne vise…

The Danish song treasure contains an incredible number of good melodies with accompanying good lyrics.
It is a tradition that goes back a long way, which is emphasized in this little test of the song "I know a lark's nest".
The song's text was written by Harald Bergsted as early as 1921 and three years later - in 1924, the Danish composer Carl Nielsen created his melody for the text.
I've tried to give it all a little breather, and in some places tweaked the melody a bit to emphasize the fine text...
So here is my preliminary version of this song…

Jeg ved en lærkerede TESTER 240204

Endnu en gang har jeg prøvet kræfter med én af de mange smukke danske lyriske tekster.
Denne gang med stor taknemmelighed til en af Danmarks ypperste kunstnere, sangerinden Anne Linnet, hvis tekst i nummeret "Tusinde stykker" rammer mig lige i hjertet, hvilket jeg håber lytteren kan høre...
----
Once again I have tried my hand at one of the many beautiful Danish lyrical texts.
This time with great gratitude to one of Denmark's finest artists, the singer Anne Linnet, whose lyrics in the number "Tusinde stykker" hit me right in the heart, which I hope the listener can hear...

Kindly Stefan

Once again a non commercial test...
This time the tune made by ABBA, and where i on BiaB 2024 Realtrack have made a backing in bossa rythm...
Beside of that I real love the lyriks in this tune, where I have taken the freedom to change slightly in the tekst...
In that way it more fitted me as a grey hear 77 yers old amateur singer...

Kære Bedstefar...

In a world where wars separate people who are bound by love without being able to communicate directly, it happens that these people create in their dreams the hope of a common future. 
A future in which they will start a new and better world when they are together again…
This fact is the only positive thing I see in a time when we are at war!

You'r the Dream  of My Heart

As an air captain, I became quite famous by landing SK751 in a forest meadow near Stockholm, Sweden in 1991 - All 129 souls on board survived...
Afterwards - and especially caused by the aftermath, I often had doubts about who was right in their assumptions...
The few, or the many who smiled at me...
