Ja, hon är otrolig! Jag blir också nästan alltid tårögd när jag lyssnar på henne, särskilt när hon sjunger med Benny Anderssons orkester. Men den här låten är också grym! Ingen röst berör som Helens. Lyssna på "Vilar glad i din famn" med BAO... Jösses alltså! Bara Helens röst och Bennys piano - det vackraste jag har hört.
+Linnéa Wäisänen it's kinda embarrassing, but we missed our flight. We never made it to Sweden :( we were going to see the I love Musical with Peter Jöback and Helen Sjöholm.. But there were to empty seats :(
I love her. I saw the performance of "Livet är en schlager" 10 times and she was incredible in all the shows. Focused. And this tone-controll! A fantastic singer and an fantastic person. I love her because she hugged my stepmother after she sang at the funeral of my beloved Hans who passed away may 2014. She is fantastic, as a person, first , and specially as a singer . Love you Helén
I totally agree with you, I saw Livet är en Schlager three times, and she was incredible in every show, aswell as Peter Jöback too. I'm sorry for your love Hans, but how wonderful wasn't it that Helen was there to sing for you?
Tack, it saved my life - and I´ve told her. I couldn´t believe that she would sing at the funeral - but there she came, and sang beautifully. Everybody said " this was the most beautiful funeral". I'm so grateful that I cant express it. She is my life. I try to go to everything she does. Now "Trees and life" in the Göta Lejon,
I'VE JUST DISCOVERED THIS WONDERFUL HELEN SJOHOLM. SHE HAS A BEAUTIFUL VOICE AND USES IT SO WELL. I AM A NEW FAN. ANOTHER FAVORITE OF MINE IS THE LOVELY ULLA SALLERT ALTHO' SHE HAS RETIRED, HER RECORDINGS LIVE ON.
I wonder if there is a studio-recorded version of this beautiful song? I can appreciate LIVE, however, for keepers (for my collection), I rather prefer one without the applause afterward.
Can someone give a translation in English or at least give a short summary, what this song is about. My swedish is not good enough to catch the meaning. Thanks!
A try, but a bit literal: If I go where no one else has been, and when I reach what no one's ever reached When I betray everything I believed in I lose the friendship to you Yes, if I win all the prices in the world, alone in the paradise of my success Then I haven't won anything at all If you're not there with me once I reach for heaven And enjoying the harp, and blessed delight But look around and notice that you're not there Who am I if I stay? No, then I promise to come before God and say: I no longer want to be here I want to be where the others are If not them - then not me And God, he says: You are right my friend Then the pearly gates open to heaven And the people are welling in If not them - then not me One for all All for one No one left out Where you go, I also want to go Both or none at all You're not strong on your own You're weak being alone If not you - then not me If not you - then not me
No they didn't. Authors are: Fredrik Lars Kempe and Jonas Lars Holger Gardell. But it's true until ABBA reactivation Helen was (and still is?) prefered singer of B&B songs.
Title means "If not You". But this line expands to full version that should be translated as "If You're not alive, I don't want to live either" So entire song is about being together now and then. In the middle of the song singer goes to heaven to look for missing friend. God is surprised with unexpected visit but finally opens heaven's gate not willing to separate friends any longer. Song ends with reassuring statements "One for all, all for one" and "If not You them me not either" This song while not made on purpose for the task is used here at LGBT meeting to express the idea it's useless to contest the reason people are bond together as what counts is the will to stay united no matter what happens.
Linnea: after reading the lyrics below from Daniel I have a question. Having seen several other songs/performances by Helen I've noticed several quite Religious in content. Do you know does she prefer to perform those type of songs over the other styles she has done in here life. What an amazing person. I try to use the word 'perform ' rather than just 'sing' when referring to Helen. Because she seems to BECOME the person in the song....it FEELS to me like an intensely Real 'Mask' she somehow creates. Simply Magic ....well not simply of course...I often wonder just how she does IT. Perhaps she wonders at times too? I note quite often as a song/performance ends....and this 'Mask' drops away to reveal a more ....?..real....or ....normal?...look or expression. It is almost like she stops and comes out off a trance or Some Special Space....maybe thinking "Wow ...what just happened?" That for me is the emotional magic of Helen Sjöholm. That's a good thing for all of us. Brogan-Seattle
Brogan, all I know is that most of the songs with religious content are from musicals or theatreplays. Kristina believed in God, and therefore a lot of the songs from Duvemåla had a religious content. When it comes to Livet är en Schlager, the musical which this song comes from, the author of the show is quite religious himself, (Jonas Gardell) and therefore the connections to christianity and God in the lyrics. However, I don't think Helen has a very strong religious belief, she has just portrayed women who is religious in some way or another. I absolutely agree with you about how she become the person, no matter what she sings about! It's stunning and truly incredible. I know that often when she gets a new song she usually begins with the emotions and what the song is truly about. In several interviews with her she has said that she tries to collect different images of the song in her head, and then the emotions and feelings come naturally afterwards. It's truly like you said, how she comes out of a trance or something like that, and I think it's when she "gets out of character", if you know what I mean? It's like for every song she performs, there's a true person behind it, and when she is done there is for like two seconds a pause when she leave the role she just sang and become herself again. And that is truly amazing every time! Thank you so much for your comment, I'm sorry it took so long time for me to answer you.. Linnéa
No problem on your response time. Very nice to know your thoughts. Seems like we both have picked up on little details of Helen's performances. The connect emotionally idea is just so true. As I am sure you have noticed there are many comments that say the same thing about her feelings on her face, how one can understand the emotional content of the song without knowing the language. I found Helen thru Gabriella's Sång and still am in awe of her performance. The little expressions she brings are just so so moving and perfect for that character, the glance at husband and the slight smile towards the end. Was that the director or did she create that? Now that I am learning more about Helen and the Kristina backstory I am guessing it is Helen herself bringing this power/passion to that role. I am bringing my Mom to 3 concerts at the quarry, Dalhalla. Here quote from Helen- " …where she finds inspiration: - I’m an observer and I like to watch people and can easily feel their… aura, I was close to say. I see people fall in love or so. I easily feel human emotions. Sometimes it’s a hassle, but it’s also a formidable asset." So yeah that word AURA ...that really fits for the way she creates as she sings...goes into the character's Aura. Quite the gift, quite the asset. Tack. Brogan from Seattle.
The best female singer on planet earth !
Yes, she is absolutely incredible!
Just found her tonight. I am totally mesmerized.
JENNY LEE WAX Oh, you still have a lot of wonderful videos and tunes to discover then! I'm actually a little bit jealous ;)
Me, too! Thank you so much for introducing me!
I'm going to see her this summer. What a dream.
Man blir gråtfärdig när hon sjunger, underbart. 😘
Helen är väl bäst i världen? Vilken fantastisk människa!
Hennes jävla röst alltså, jag blir ALLTID tårögd när hon sjunger. Så fantastisk ♥
TantSmowkie JAG VEEEEEET! Förstår inte hur hon lyckas!
Ja, hon är otrolig! Jag blir också nästan alltid tårögd när jag lyssnar på henne, särskilt när hon sjunger med Benny Anderssons orkester. Men den här låten är också grym! Ingen röst berör som Helens. Lyssna på "Vilar glad i din famn" med BAO... Jösses alltså! Bara Helens röst och Bennys piano - det vackraste jag har hört.
Helt vidunderligt :) Tak kære Helen
She is stunning as usual. Thank you !
You're welcome!
She is just amazing! So stoked that i'm flying to Sweden in October to finally see her perform live!
Oh, that's so cool! What did you see when you were here?
+Linnéa Wäisänen it's kinda embarrassing, but we missed our flight. We never made it to Sweden :( we were going to see the I love Musical with Peter Jöback and Helen Sjöholm.. But there were to empty seats :(
+Chiara Arnts Oh no, that's so sad.. Hopefully will they do the show once more another year though! You can come and visit Sweden then :)
+Linnéa Wäisänen i will definitely visit Sweden again soon! I love the country and its music!
Brilliant. What a voice. Blessings from South Africa

Totally wonderful. Intense ....then that relaxed innocent smile at the end. Sort of "after the 'mask' comes off".
What a voice! Helen Sjöholm for the WIN!!!
가장좋아하는 가수입니다. korea
You are special ❤❤❤🎉RAa
Hermosa voz Dios te bendiga gracias Bonita canción
Vilken röst.Oooo🥰🥰🥰
Tack för självmordsmusik......
Just found it. She's fabulous
I ADORE HELEN
Who wrote this song it's fabulous x
Jonas Gardell, a swedish author, wrote the lyrics and Fredrik Kempe wrote the music
Other songs from "Livet ar en schlager" are also worth to listen to.
Super performance Helen;)
QX-gaygalan 2015: Helen Sjöholm sjunger "Om inte du" från Livet är en Schlager 23 februari 2015 🥰❤️
I wonder if there is a studio-recorded version of this beautiful song? I can appreciate LIVE, however, for keepers (for my collection), I rather prefer one without the applause afterward.
Yes, there is a brilliant studio version on the soundtrack album "Livet är en schlager". But I like this live performance as well.
Can someone give a translation in English or at least give a short summary, what this song is about. My swedish is not good enough to catch the meaning. Thanks!
A try, but a bit literal:
If I go where no one else has been,
and when I reach what no one's ever reached
When I betray everything I believed in
I lose the friendship to you
Yes, if I win all the prices in the world,
alone in the paradise of my success
Then I haven't won anything at all
If you're not there with me once I reach for heaven
And enjoying the harp, and blessed delight
But look around and notice that you're not there
Who am I if I stay?
No, then I promise to come before God and say:
I no longer want to be here
I want to be where the others are
If not them - then not me
And God, he says:
You are right my friend
Then the pearly gates open to heaven
And the people are welling in
If not them - then not me
One for all
All for one
No one left out
Where you go, I also want to go
Both or none at all
You're not strong on your own
You're weak being alone
If not you - then not me
If not you - then not me

Anyone know who wrote the song, and what the lyrics mean?

What about this song....?? ruclips.net/video/ozGIEZQTNE4/видео.html
@@pilsner2b
Well for people not knowing Swedish it's vocal exercise similar to well known Finnish song "Ievan polkka"
Singing songs having direct or indirect reference to religion is not uncommon among Swedish artists.
Faboulus, Heaven opens !
Tokgrymma Helen!
2009 skrev jag denna låt med min son. "Om inte du". ruclips.net/video/wk-LsfU5QGw/видео.html
