Allianz - De värsta åren i mitt liv [Swedish dansband]

Post by oscillator »

So, we had a national election in Sweden, and the right won with the huge support of an extreme right party with roots in the neo nazi swamp. It is depressing.

Me and my friend Mats decided to update our old Swedish "dansband" song hit. Allianz is a left wing "dansband" (schlager music you dance to), active 20 years ago, we had some success with this project that started as a joke.

"De värsta åren i mitt liv" can be translated into "The worst years in my life".

My you have been busy, Staffan! did you record that on the same visit as the Arcadian song?
It's fascinating to experience your versatility in such a compressed form. The sound is very good. I can almost smell the party and hear the conversation around me. :)
The discrepancy between title and music is funny! :) Was that part of the origiinal "joke"? :)

No, this we did remotely, sending WAV files to one another.

Yes it is. We have a lot of fun with this project. And I have never played more live than with this "joke" project -- which is funny in itself! The genre is a bit superficial, almost always having themes of love. But it is serious in our strive to give people something to dance too!

As always, thank you @jeanette_c for listening and commenting! :)

wow, I love this song.
I'm not able to understand lyrics but the overall result is awesome.
I notice you pan greatly!!! Nice is the videoclip too, with reverse at the end.
Great!

Yeah, I tried to widen the stereo image a bit. I also used the airwindows Widen (?) plugin, I think it works fine without losing too much bass.

Thanks for listening and commenting @kamiluni! :)
