This song was absolutely PLAYED TO DEATH... to the point where I guess my brain tuned it out. I heard the music, but paid no attention to the lyrics or meaning behind it anymore. Erik and Jona's version made me sit up and pay attention. I love this.
The building is Noors Slott(castle), a castle outside Knivsta, where Erik is from. It used to be a hunting castle for Swedish royalty, but these days it's privately owned and used for conferences and weddings and things like that. There's a lot of random castles here and there in that part of Sweden. They often don't look a lot like what you'd imagine a castle would look like, usually just a big fancy house. When I first saw this video, I thought the building looked familiar, that I had seen it before. But I'm pretty sure it just has the same vibes as the nearby castles I *have* seen. I live in a town near Erik's, so sometimes I recognise locations in his videos. In House of the Rising Sun, there's lots of pictures of the station building in Knivsta, and it still looks pretty much the same. I've seen it from the train so many times without really noticing it.
Thank you for watching and adding information. Yes, it's not the image I automatically would have for a castle, but a beautiful building. Happy New Year! 🙂🎈🎊
Thank you for watching and commenting. Also, thank you for reminding me. I meant to give a "shout out" to Jona Tee on the video description but forgot. (Maybe 4:30 in the morning is a little early - lol.) Wishing you a very Happy New Year! 🙂🎈🎊
What a GREAT reaction! 👌🏻❤️Thank You! I do not find it strange - but wonderful - that You got subscribers from all over the world! The atmosphere is kind! I am a big fan of Erik’s since 2009 and also a very proud fellow countryman of his!😊 I LOOOOOVE this version! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Every cover Erik sings, he makes the song his own! Together with Jona. It is amazing!🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 I love that the tempo is slower than the original, because it deepens the lyrics! Makes the listener really listen. He sings - as You said - perfectly also when he sings soft! And his voice is always warm and soothing.❤❤❤ This song has got a melancholic stroke the whole way trough. And the outburst sounds like a cry. This caste has been used as a ”hunting” castle in the 17th centrury, and I get a feeling that Erik feels that we are hunted these days in uncertainty and troubles. ( The Green House effect etc) He and Jona really think everything trough thorougly. The wandering in the gloomy park, the restless walks in the big room and Jona’s playing adds to the dark and ominous feeling. Erik surprises us by not belting, when we think he will ( the intense playing by Jona on the piano!). He instead continues to sing softly. But the belting comes, alright. Jona plays superbly! He is a skilled and versatile musician! 👌🏻👌🏻 The video is beautifully done and yes, suitable on New Year’s Eve! What a gift from Erik! ❤️❤️ I wish You a Happy New Year! 🎉🍾🥂❤️ And You are right about the importance of staying positive and focus on all the good things in life! Also about setting achievable goals! To all that read this: Happy New Year! ❤️🎉❤️
Thank you for the link - very helpful. They seem to call it a mansion or palace - others a castle - lol. It reminds me a bit of Casa Loma in Toronto (not far from me), although it looks a bit more like a castle. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casa_Loma Wishing you a very Happy New Year! 🙂 🎈🎊
