Day 1: A song about friendship

We have a tiny, but very fun, reggae and dancehall scene in Sweden. I've seen a few of them live, and it's a massive party each and every time! Out of all the types of concerts and artists I've been to, none match the energy of 20000 people dancing in unison to Kapten Röd (Captain Red, shocker huh?)!

In 2009 we lost one of our most beloved reggae artists, Jr Eric, in a tragic motor accident.
Kapten, being one of his closest friends, dedicated this song to him.

Kapten Röd - Saknade Vänner (Lost/missed friends)

Jag undrar går jag ensam här
Eller visar du min väg från en parallel värld
Hoppas du hör mig vart du än är
För den här går ut till våra saknade vänner

I wonder, am I wandering alone
Or are you showing me the way from a parallel world
I hope you can hear me where ever you are
As this one goes out to all the friends we miss

I did not think I would wake this morning to Swedish "The Bear Necessities," much less Swedish reggae.

God, I love this place!
 
Day 1: A song about friendship (not "a song"...THE SONG :) )

but i must admit...i really hate the middlepart. would prefer it when they sang about childen or other human beings instead of innocent animals

I have never heard this before, and it is brilliant. I get your point about the middle part, but it reminds me of an updated Tom Lehrer --subversive satire.

Thank you!
