I spent a year in Liège, Belgium as an Erasmus student. One night a bunch of us Nordic students had dinner together in one of the student apartments. So there we were, eating, drinking, talking and laughing. In walks an English bloke, stops, listens, looks very confused and says something like "What? Aren't you... But you are from different countries, right? How?..." And indeed, we were. The Danes talking Danish, the Norwegian talking Norwegian, and the Swedes and the Finnish girl talking Swedish. No problem, there, mate!
 
Finnish is definitely the odd one out in Scandinavian languages. Fiendishly complex, distantly related to Hungarian, nothing like any other European language I know of. Luckily most Finns are at least bilingual with Swedish and usually have English and German as well. When in Denmark and Sweden last year I was struck by how similar, in writing, the languages are, yet how different they sound. I'm sure that us English speakers missed a hell of a lot of language-related references and jokes in The Bridge.

But I digress. Danes and Swedes are close enough to understand each other and share the credits.
 
You mean the Bridge.

The Killing was written by Søren Sveistrup and produced by danish televistion ( DR ).

If you saw The Bridge the theme song kind of spoiled the ending.
If you haven't seen it, what are you waiting for?

I gave it 9.5 on my scale.  Also worth looking out for -  The Killing ( original Swedish not the US remake crap ),  Killing 2,  Borgen, Sebastian Bergman.  In the UK there has been a huge take up of subtitled dramas as the quality is so very very high.

This kind of names seem real popular now!

 

Cashmere to Burlap

My Morning Jacket

Carolina Chocolate Drops

 

and 999 others!

What about "Murder of Midnight Crow"...?

Someone been watching 'The Bridge'  :-)   This track was used for the theme tune of the Scandinavian murder series.

Yep, and very appropriate it is, lyrically and atmospherically. That's added a point to the Nottingham jury's verdict on the song.

It's a Swedish/Danish thriller series, the title referring to the Oresund bridge between the two countries. I'd not realised that Danish and Swedish languages were so closely related.
 

Really, Not-ting-Freddy...!?

I was sure you knew next to anything!

Excellent 'live in a studio' version of this song on You Tube - well worth a look/listen.

Great song.

I really don't find it that similar. This could be compared to any number of new "sensitive" bands.
The Cinematic Orchestra / Bon Iver was what came to mind when I heard this. I do like it.

I'm supposed to be 1/2 Viking (Norsk) and 1/2 English Canadian.  But there is a good chance I'm roughly 3/4 Viking.  -hehe-
