Hi everyone today is Day Seven of Bee Halton’s Love Is In Da Blog. Our prompt today is A Love Song from Scandinavia
I have chosen October and April by the Rasmus and featuring Annette Olzon. I have used this song before even wrote a poem about it love it!
Polar oposites were they
He the night she the day
He a fallen angel, dark
She so pure without a mark
They met, the universe exploded.
They ignored the odds against them loaded.
They were never meant to be
Yet could their love set them free. ©willowdot21
The Rasmus is a Finnish rock band that formed in 1994 in Helsinki while the band members were in upper comprehensive school. The original band members were Lauri Ylönen (lead singer-songwriter), Eero Heinonen (bass), Pauli Rantasalmi (guitar) and Jarno Lahti (drums). Jarno Lahti left the year after and was replaced by Janne Heiskanen in 1995. Heiskanen quit the band in 1999 and was soon replaced by Aki Hakala. Pauli Rantasalmi left the band and was replaced by guitarist Emilia “Emppu” Suhonen in 2022. Best known for their 2003 hit single “In the Shadows“, the band has sold 5 million albums worldwide and approximately 350,000 albums in Finland alone, and has won numerous awards, both domestic and international. The band represented Finland in the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 with the song “Jezebel“. Information Wikipedia

This is a beautiful song. New for me both the song and the group. It could kind of be about my fan fiction story, one dark one light. Pretty video, too.
And I love your poem about it. ❤

Hi Willow, unfortunately, I can’t access the video but I enjoyed the poem. I think I have read it before.

I’ll see if I can find it. I think it’s to do with license agreements that I sometimes can’t see videos.
Feb 08, 2023 @ 07:21:05
Yes sometimes it says this video is not allowed in this country 😤

Oh, I remember Jezebel. That was a great song. They also had a hit in the 90s or 2000s but I can’t remember it’s title. I love your choice. Finland has some great musicians 🤗
Feb 07, 2023 @ 17:59:07
Yes indeed they do! 🌹

Yours was a new one on me. I wonder if this one is new to you? This is by Lykke Li from Sweden.
Feb 07, 2023 @ 19:52:46
No definitely new to me! And I like it, it’s a real earworm! 💜

This is gorgeous all the way through. I hadn’t heard this and your poem is the perfect compliment. I’d love to use your poem in my WQ (Wednesday Quotes) tomorrow with a link to your post.
