Sweden's contribution to the world in the 21st century:

these bad boys
and electronic dance music. because of swedish house mafia and avicii.
sweden only has a population of 10 million. that's less than some cities.


i was listening to the song "don't you worry child" and was drugged by its vivid lyrics. i tried to look up its meaning and found this explanation on elyics' forum:

"Even from a secular POV, it's obvious the lyrics are either speaking of Christs' time on earth and his suffering on the cross; the girl may represent a sleeping church. Could also speak of the people of Israel and God's solemn promise to redeem His people. Maybe both"

it's crazy though - in their concert, these 3 artsits are like gods, commanding the synchronous fist pump of a hundred thousand people





[Verse 1]
There was a time, I used to look into my father's eyes
In a happy home, I was a king I had a gold throne
Those days are gone, nowthe memories are on the wall
I hear the sounds from the places where I was born

[Chorus]
Up on the hill across the blue lake,
thats where I had my first heart break
I still remember how it all changed
my father said
Don't you worry, don't you worry child
See heaven's got a plan for you
Don't you worry, don't you worry now
Yeah!

[Breakdown 1]
Don't you worry, don't you worry now
Yeah!
Ooh ooh ooh ooooh!
See heaven's got a plan for you
Ooh ooh ooh ooooh!

[Verse 2]
There was a time, I met a girl of a different kind
We ruled the world,
Thought I'll never lose her out of sight, we were so young
I think of her now and then
Still hear the songs, reminding me of a friend

i guess volvos and saabs are notable contributions too. and maybe the book/movie "the girl with the dragon tattoo". saab kinda went bankrupt though
