Magnus Carlsson – Tillsammans

“A truly dedicated soul who’s still at it.”

Tim: I know we don’t normally do live performances of proper songs, because often they’re a bit iffy with the levels and stuff, but there’s no studio version on the internet and it’s the new one from Magnus Carlsson and dammit we need to do it.

Tim: I’m not sure I can think of any other man who’s done more for the noble act of schlager than Magnus.

Tom: That’s a heck of a phrase. I just want everyone reading this to wait a moment, and consider that phrase. Okay, moving on.

Tim: A truly dedicated soul who’s still at it, over half a decade since it stopped being fashionable, with key changes, major chords, thumping but not too thumping beats, and just such much happiness to everything, especially here with the song whose title translates as ‘Together’.

Tom: Yep, there’s not much you can say about this other than, yes, he’s ticked all the boxes, and the result is a pretty damn good schlager song.

Tim: I do hope he never stops. Though I do sort of hope he shows at least some sort of aging at some point, because a forty year old really shouldn’t look that good and I’m starting to get suspicious.
