From what I understood, this place is a national park outside Stockholm, it's very beautiful. Like others said, this song represented Sweden in Eurovision 2000. English lyrics that Tommy provided in the description (written in a comment below) are not the translation, but the English version of the song that was sung in ESC (Swedish version was at Melodienfestivalen). It's also great, but the original Swedish lyrics are much more beautiful. This is the direct translation: I was caught in a darkness, I saw no light Although everything around was on fire In the glow of the flames was my hope and my faith Who swirled away and disappeared So give me my strength Give me strength to defend my country Give me a way to go I see the ax in the warrior's hand Do you want me to turn around? And fight for who I am? I will never let my country down When the winds whisper my name My name The rain that fell had to hide my sadness And quench my burning thirst I fled to the mountains when dawn came But suddenly I heard a voice The winds whisper I hear them calling my name I have a way to go I see the ax in the warrior's hand
"This place" is not a national park outside of Stockholm, "this place" is pretty much the vast wilderness of northern Sweden and it begins very much at least 300 km northwest of Stockholm.
@GeFeldz Tommy is from Boden, but he lives and works in Stockholm now. He said that this was recorded in Nyfors, Tyresö, just outside Stockholm (near Tyresta national park I mentioned). I guess Tommy knows where he recorded it, don't you think? 😃
Translation 😊 I am caught in a trap, there is no turning back I'm finally facin' the fear The sky is on fire, and up with the flames My hope and my dreams disappear So bring me the power I'll be the king of the land and the seas Show me the way to go Let me fight with my body and soul Let me be the native son With freedom in my heart Life will never be the same When spirits are calling my name My name Let me out of the darkness, the shadow of pain And I'm keepin' my promise to you My people, my spirit, the home of my heart You're with me wherever I go So bring me the power I'll be the king of the land and the seas I've got a way to go Let me fight with my body and soul Let me be the native son With freedom in my heart Life will never be the same When spirits are calling my name My name So bring me the power I'll be the king of the land and the seas I've got a way to go Let me fight with my body and soul Let me be the native son With freedom in my home Life will never be the same When spirits are calling my name Spirits are calling my name
🇸🇪 I cannot believe I posted the wrong flag. They are the night. This one is correct. I was actually born there, but that was very dark. You’re on late at night here in Arizona and I posted the wrong flag. I’m so embarrassed.😂🤣🙃

I was caught in a darkness, I saw no light
Although everything around was on fire
In the glow of the flames was my hope and my faith
Who swirled away and disappeared
So give me my strength
Give me strength to defend my country
Give me a way to go
I see the ax in the warrior's hand
Do you want me to turn around?
And fight for who I am?
I will never let my country down
When the winds whisper my name
My name
The rain that fell had to hide my sadness
And quench my burning thirst
I fled to the mountains when dawn came
But suddenly I heard a voice
The winds whisper
I hear them calling my name
I have a way to go
I see the ax in the warrior's hand

@@marinamucic908 The place he's singing about, the song was performed by Roger Pontare originally and he's from Lycksele in Lappland.
@@GeFeldztrue, but I was answering Teacher Paul's question about Tommy's location in the video and that's Tyresö
Translation 😊
I am caught in a trap, there is no turning back
I'm finally facin' the fear
The sky is on fire, and up with the flames
My hope and my dreams disappear
So bring me the power
I'll be the king of the land and the seas
Show me the way to go
Let me fight with my body and soul
Let me be the native son
With freedom in my heart
Life will never be the same
When spirits are calling my name
My name
Let me out of the darkness, the shadow of pain
And I'm keepin' my promise to you
My people, my spirit, the home of my heart
You're with me wherever I go
So bring me the power
I'll be the king of the land and the seas
I've got a way to go
Let me fight with my body and soul
Let me be the native son
With freedom in my heart
Life will never be the same
When spirits are calling my name
My name
So bring me the power
I'll be the king of the land and the seas
I've got a way to go
Let me fight with my body and soul
Let me be the native son
With freedom in my home
Life will never be the same
When spirits are calling my name
Spirits are calling my name
Yes it is Swedish😊🇦🇽
