We made it!…
We made it! A big applause for the captain. Eeehu… anyone know what time it is?… doesn’t matter. In Stockholm it’s always.. ABBA O’CLOCK (sätt på dancing queen)
(Stäng av sången)
I’m sorry to interrupt, but this beautiful brick building on your right hand side is the real Norwegian embassy, the real one, no joke this time. Now back to the ABBA-party
On your right hand side (om du inte tog Berwaldhallen innan vattnet
On your right hand side you will find a gray building. This is Berwaldhallen, a concert hall named after the Swedish composer Franz Berwald. Cool thing about it id that we can’t see most of the building- over half of it is located inside the mountain. We built it that way so that it should take up too much space in the neighborhood
Berwaldhallen alltsa. Hemmaborg för Sveriges Radios Symfoniorkester och Radiokören. Ensemblerna ger konserter varje vecka, dessa sänds oftast i Sveriges Radio - dom har en mängmiljon publik runt om i Europa. Sveriges Radio och Sveriges Television har sina huvudkontor 100 meter ovanför oss.
Now we are (Standvägen)
Now we are driving along the exclusive address I spoke about when we were in the water. The construction of Strandvägen started 1862 and was finished in time for the Stockholm World’s fair in 1897. The apartments are big today but were even bigger back then. 20-30 rooms and that was so you could have space for all the
“help” and assistance that you “needed” in your daily life. Detta var allts langt innan rot- och rutavdraget.
Of course some famous swedes have been living on this street and as an example we have;
Ingrid Bergman lived….
Ingrid Bergman, lived on Strandvägen as a child. She won three Oscars and the American Film Institute rank her as the fourth greatest female star of all time.
Mostly known for her role as Ilsa Lund in Casablanca from 1942.
”We will always have Paris”, or as the captain used to say
”We will always have Ocean Bus”
Roxette
(Spela The Look med Roxette)
Recognize this song? Roxette! The man that sings lives here - Per Gessle. He started the band together with Marie Fredriksson, who sadly passed away a couple of years ago, and they had their international breakthrough in 1989 with this song
“The Look”. Roxette was a hit-machine during the early 90s, sold a total of 75 million albums and had no less than four number one singles on the US Billboard list. Scandinavian record to date.
(Om tid finns - Historien bakom Roxette)
Historien om hur Roxettes musik fick internationell spridning är intressant. Det var pả grund av en amerikansk student i Sverige pa slutet av 80-talet. När han äkte hem till USA tog han med sig en kassett med Roxette pả som han sedermera skickade till en amerikansk radiostation och resten är som dom brukar säga…Historia
