    First time I heard Swedish version was the one sung by the great Jussi Björling, the greatest opera singer ever and Tommy did it justice big time! Amazing vocals and so heartfelt. Yesterday he released the English version of this song and it's in another key, so it sounds a bit different, but just as beautiful. Also, his cover of Fairytale of New York with Kirstin Starkey is imo the best cover of that song I have heard

    Tommy is a one man band-literally. He can sing, play keyboards, guitars and I believe even drums. And he writes and produces, too. I would love to hear Tommy and Floor duet on this. They both sing it solo. Imagine if they came together on this!

    Seriously, this was my very introduction into the world of Tommy Johansson last year for christmas and I never left it. Tommy's voice and his ability to transport emotions specially in his native language is just nothing I have ever experienced before.

    So...yeah...the words are slightly different than the usual English, but...they're BETTER! WAY BETTER! In the English version, the song is definitely tuned to the baby Jesus being born, and leaving it there, though invoking worship, yet focusing on the NIGHT being holy.
    With this one, I would say it would normally be sung for Easter, as it's focused on the adult Jesus being killed on the cross, then buried--only to go and grab the keys of death and hell, then resurrect Himself back at the grave, then fold his own grave clothes and walk out with angels by His side.
    This is a "KINGDOM" song (the Kingdom of God)...spoken the way it SHOULD be. This is a WAR song, and it's RIGHT! Plus, it's honoring HOLY GOD...not the the night, which cannot actually become holy. Also, Tommy sang it AS a VICTORY OF WAR song, as was clearly correct, given those lyrics! WOW!!!
    I just went to look up the original Swedish lyrics to see if they matched what he was SINGING, and they do (which I'm sure you already knew, back in December). So...yes...different, but SO MUCH BETTER, than our English, Christmas version.
    Don't worry, I'm not going to stop singing the English (weaker) version. It's one of my very favorite songs to sing, and now that my voice is almost all the way back, I DO plan to sing it for Christmas.
    On the other hand, I'm also now going to learn the (English) words completely, for Resurrection Day use!

    OK...all of the above was written before I am hearing the part AFTER Tommy is through singing...
