    In this video we talk with Danish musician, Theo X, about Danish music for foreigners living in Denmark. He tells us what Danish music artists he's listening to right now and which artists foreigners should look up when they move to Denmark.
    Music is huge part of Danish culture from singing songs at holidays and even in school. We discuss why this is, and what you should know about if you're new to life in Denmark.
    Theo X also gives us his take on Denmark in Eurovision, and what he would like to see from Dansk Melodi Gran Prix and the selection process in the future.
    Don't miss his story about hosting his British partner's family for Christmas in Denmark and their funny reaction to all of the singing.
    Thank you to ‪@theo.x‬ for joining us and filling us in on Danish music and what artists we need to explore.

      Yeah, I was really surprised at the (wrong) translation presented in the video, and I'd say that Theo hasn’t understood the song at all. Happiness isn’t something you can protect (according to the song, at least), and if you try you’ll end up miserable. Happiness is fleeting and ephemeral, and you have to give it away and share it, you have to risk yourself for happiness to find you. To paraphrase an old Danish poem, you might catch the bird, but not its flight; you can paint the rose, but not its scent.

      @@boesvig2258 He either hasn't understood it or just had difficulties explaining it in English, an reversing the meaning by accident. Also, the lyric isn't all that brilliant: "livet er langt" is really the opposite of what would really make sense: Life is actually short. Even if sometimes it doesn't feel that way. This has been recognised since ancient times, like Hippocrates aphorisms, where the point is that life is short, and becoming skillful at an art or craft takes a long time. (Meaning, don't waste your life away, learn something that you may do something useful.) Actually, looking at it now, Larsens words sound rather pointless.
      When it comes to "philosophical" or "existential" songs, I guess Larsen has better ones. But - despite being perhaps more known for their humouristic twists and puns and somewhat nonsensical songs, I think Shu-Bi-Dua have made at least two great ones of this type: _Den Røde Tråd_ and _Stjernefart_ . In my opinion these are Danish classics.
      Also, nobody has mentioned Povl Dissing/Benny Andersen?

    I think as an introduction to Danish music for foreigners, it might be prudent to focus (initially, at least) on artists that sing in English, at least some of the time. The argument "their lyrics are excellent" doesn't carry as much weight when the people you are trying to convince don't understand those lyrics. For people who are trying to learn Danish, listening to music in Danish is certainly a good idea, but you do need at least a basic understanding of the language to appreciate the lyrics.
    There are so many Danish artists that do sing in English either wholly or partly, and that are either mostly or wholly unknown abroad, or are primarily popular in a single part of the world. Artists like Michael Learns To Rock, who had only a single hit here in Denmark, but who went on to become immensely popular in southeast Asia. Bands like D-A-D (formerly Disneyland After Dark) who have been a staple of the Danish music scene for the past 30 years. Or Sort Sol, who have been around since... 1977 😲Same as me, then. Bands with unique styles like Fielfraz or Picnic. Pop artists like Thomas Helmig and Hanne Boel. Dizzy Mizz Lizzy, Carpark North, VolBeat, the list goes on and on.
    My point is, if the point is introducing foreigners to Danish _culture_ rather than specifically the Danish _language,_ then these artists are just as much a part of Danish culture as ones that sing only in Danish, and may prove to be a better starting point for some.
    Also, talking about Kim Larsen's place in Danish music history without mentioning Gasolin at all borders on sacrilege 😀

    This video brings back fond memories from when I grew up in Denmark. I emigrated to America in 1978, so my experiences in Denmark predates the participants in this video by a couple of years. However, the tradition of writing personalized lyrics to well known songs in Denmark, is still practiced in my family. Of course, I have to write lyrics that fit well known songs in America, when we celebrate birthdays and other occasions. Of course, when I am in Denmark to visit family, almost every day is celebrated with pickled herrings, liver paste, frikkadellen, and cheese. All accompanied by snaps and beer, of course. The more snaps, the better the singing!

They play with the words a lot and sing about all kinds of things that songs normally aren't about, like killing seals, wearing expensive clothes, sweaty cooks, but also about dying, AIDS, climate. Try looking up their song En Sang For Livet from their 12th album, which they wrote in the end of the 80's when the AIDS epidemic took the lives of way too many men. And Den Røde Tråd which is a song about being someone, becoming someone, going through life - but with a twist. Listen to the lyrics of those songs if you wanna learn new ways to use the Danish language.

    Hi Mike & Derek
    This is a bit of a long comment, but hopefully well worth the effort..
    I only just found your channel and now I'm coming off a delightful binge through 6 years worth of content.
    Which i, as a Dane, naturally enjoyed immensely(Yeah i know, it's practically a trope by now😅).
    Seeing my little country through your eyes has been a wonderful experience.
    I'd have left it there, but this video just seemed the perfect opportunity to return the favor since you did *specifically* call out Kim Larsen 😉
    I know you couldn't dig very deeply into it in the video, so i spent waaay to much time translating and annotating
    one of his songs, one which i believe the two of you might be uniquely qualified to relate to.
    I think it exemplifies a lot of the quintessential Danish mentality you've covered so lovingly in your videos,
    (You're not allergic to sappiness right?) ~Enjoy

    But here’s a (very much incomplete) list of the ones you "forgot":
    - The three greatest modern Danish lyricists: CV Jørgensen, Allan Olsen, and Steffen Brandt.
    - Other glaring omissions: Anne Linnet, Nephew, D-A-D, TV•2, Shubidua.
    And you talk about the Eurovision Song Contest without even mentioning the brilliant "Dansevise", the winner from 1963. The lyrics are out of this world, there are entire sentences where several or all syllables rhyme (eg., "En rislen i bækken // en hvislen i hækken"; "Dugvåd ligger engen // Puk-kåd ud af sengen"); Jørgen's simple, elegant guitar is perfect, and Grethe's hauntingly beautiful singing with just the right touch of melancholy is sublime.

    Kim Larsen is the father of the danish style of country music. He became a public frontier of the right to freedom and celebration of the simple life and joy. His songs even from the early band days are rooted in danish values and history, which is why it reasonate strongly with a lot from his generation. He is a big part of the acceptance of the freedom state Christania in Copenhagen in the society.
    That's why a lot of danes find comfort and strength in his lyrics, and passed it on to their children as cultural learning. That's why he his work is regarded very highly.
    He was also part of making the style and genre very popular in Denmark and several very popularitet 70's sing-along songs about simple daily lives things, can mention artists like Bamse, John Mogensen, Lars Lilholt Shu-bi-dua and so on.

    yes most everyone knows at least a few Kim Larsen songs/ songs by his former rock band Gasolin, even if they didn't nescessarily grew up with him in their family. I'm glad he mentioned Sebastian, he is such a good songwriter, and he has a pleasant voice I think, but yes kinda folksy like Bob Dylan, is maybe a good way to describe it. And Tina Dickow is great too. Some artists that most Danes know as well would be Anne linnet, Sanne Salomonsen and Lis Sørensen, that has been around since the 70's like Kim Larsen, Sanne is also called The danish Rock Mamma by the way. For some fun quirky yet insightful lyrics with a lot of danish wordplay maybe give the band Shu-bi-dua a listen. (In their early career they did danish versions of foreign songs too like Stærk Tobak(strong tobacco) a use of Twist and shout with new lyrics or Fed Rock(Cool Rock), wich used the melody from Jailhouse Rock. Many Foreigners might already know about Lukas Graham and MØ, since they were/are big outside Denmark, and for example Christopher and Alphabeat and Infernal and Michael Learns To Rock has also had success outside Denmark. I'd really reccoment Alex Vargas as well. Some rock bands I love that I think, you should listen to, if you like rock is Carpark North(electronic rock), Dizzy Mizz Lizzy or just Tim Christensens solo stuff, Go Go Berlin, The Raveonettes, Volbeat, D-A-D, Jonah Blacksmith(kinda Folk rock), to name a few.

This contains songs from all ages by the greatest composers and poets. E.g. poems by Hans Christian Andersen have inspired the greatest composers such as Carl Nielsen - the list is long - and are loved through generations. And sung by (almost) all at school, family gatherings etc. And performed by choirs and great artists.

    Kim Larsen, the darling of the Danish Dental and Cancer Association. He was popular in Jylland, but then they had little access to good international music, they completely overlooked New Wave and grunge bands to keep the likes of Joe Cocker on DR.

    You could look in to the old beat band Savage Rose - if for nothing else, then because there's little Danish music of International standards. Like that kind of music or not, they are excellent musicians.
    Perhaps make a little video about "the good old days," when the Danish Royal Ballet danced NAKED and it was broadcasted... prime time saturday evening. The ballet is called "Dødens Triumf". You don't have to show pictures 😉
    Savage Rose could have made it really big, if they'd been ready to conform to their US music company. The Koppel Family in general might be Denmarks most musically talented family and the 3-4 generations master everything from gospel to opera, classic to rock. They haven't done much pop, though 🤔
    It was news, that Royal Ballet dancers threw their clothes on stage in 1972. 4 years before Dr. Hook did it at Roskilde 😆

But could the band brake in the US or UK in the early '80? I like the songes by CC , Breakin' Out, Cobweb and Autumn Song. OK, there best songs ad well knwn are. Hej Maria (luk vinduet op) and Det er morgen. But the most famous are - I kan ikke slå os ihjel.

    There’s just something about classic Danish rock and Kim Larsen is just the most iconic or popular of them. Maybe it’s also because his name don’t have æ ø or å so that’s just easier to say if you’re talking to someone in English

    Danish Eurovision is bad, because the musicians doesn’t get enough out of it. They don’t get enough exposure, they’re not even guaranteed airplay on Denmark’s Radio.
    In Italy, in Sweden, in Norway, they have several evenings and they promote it properly.

    MGP is "cringe" from a Danish perception, in the way it could ruin your professional career unless you are into that special type of "festival" pop music. So a Birthe Kjær and Tommy Seebach made a living out of this, while his son Rasmus try to keep as far away from it as possible, because it would ruin his career.
