Song of the day: Apple Bed!

Ok this might not be the actual official 25th anniversary of the release day of the album (I’m seeing June and late August?) but who really cares?

Something very interesting and Belgian AF

Some time ago, a bunch of Belgian artists made a single called ‘Do It Now’ as a matter of climate change awareness activation.

‘Sing for the climate’, well it was sung by: Stef Kamil Carlens, Frank Vander Linden, Luc De Vos, Sioen, Milow, Klaas Delrue, Brahim, Veerle Baetens, Kommil Foo, Lady Linn, Rocco Granata, Koen Crucke and Hans Peter Janssens.

Yes you read that right, Luc De Vos. The man has been gone for over a decade.

So has anything actually changed since they made this in 2012?

We went a little more electrical and surely had a lot of climate related meetings, but anything really meaningful?

I know the USA and China are bigger factors in worldwide emission, but Belgium seems to be taking it quite poorly in both the short and long term…

Also, I know climate change cannot be tackled from a personal level, but it baffles me how many people will sell their soul before they’d try a vegetarian meal. (Yes your diet is actually the most meaningful change you can make - much more than avoiding planes or AI - and No I’m not a complete vegetarian myself)

The culprits are the big bad companies, but they are just listening to the market… if nobody is responsible, everybody is.

Anyways, I was listening to my Belgian playlist and got lost in thoughts. This is the song: https://open.spotify.com/track/7vz0C35gXioZHWnfznZJDy?

Song of the day: The Teacher

Only a half fan; didn’t realize this was a single as it’s quite a longer song.
Might have heard it on the radio before, it felt familiar.

Can you suggest me some specific Swedish music ?

This is actually 2 quests in 1.

First: What are some must-hear Swedish songs/artists ? Please refrain from obvious famous ones like ABBA, Avicii, Ghost,… I love to discover smaller acts (example: Last days of April)

Second: songs that reference Sweden or a Swedish place/thing?

Examples:

Daan - Swedish designer drugs

Say hi - A hit in sweden

Of Montréal - The past is a grotesque animal (somewhere in the lyrics)
