This is actually played on swedish radio on christmas. Usually sung by another Tommy (Körberg) and sometimes by other singers. But Tommy J's version would be amazing to hear on radio as well!
If Sweden should have an equivalent to Dickens Christmas Carol it would be a long poem called the Gnome by author Viktor Rydberg. It tells the story of the Gnome walking around the farm at night looking after everything, people and animals. Same author has written this hymn about the Star of Bethlehem, leading folks not astray but home, shining over the landscape. My absolute Christmas favourite since early childhood. I'm so happy to hear Tommy singing it.
So true, ”Tomten ” by Viktor Rydberg is Swedish christmas. I always watch when they show the black and white short movie on tv at christmas 😍❤️❤️. And I have it on cd that I listen to😊.
I cannot hear it without singing along; I can't sing but when I belt this hymn out it feels like I actually CAN sing. Maybe it just proves how much I love this Christmas hymn. Lyrics by Victor Rydberg, music by Alice Tegnér.
I am so happy and thankful for your lovely reaction. You are so right; we must hear more of this kind of traditional, beautiful Swedish songs. THANK YOU. See the warmth and love in Tommy`s eyes when he sings in his own language, this wonderful, Swedish song.
Shines over lake and shore star in the distance you as in Österland (land of the east) kindled by the Lord The Star of Bethlehem does not lead away, but home the children and the shepherds happy to follow you Shining star Brilliant star Night over Judah night over Zion away at the western edge Orion goes out The shepherd, who sleeps tired, the child who slumbers sweetly wake up at wonderful chorus of voices, look a lovely clear star in the east.
I didn't understand the beautiful song, but Tommy's magic & emotional voice made the song so beautiful & I knew it was Special🙏thanks so much Tommy Brilliance ⚜️ I shed afew tears😥 Our Chosen One💙🤙
Beautiful Tommy, love to hear something beautiful I never heard of before, thank you for bringing it in swedish, thank you, looked at the lyrics below, this is very special, love the way you sing this.🎄🌟🌟❄️👀❤️🌹😇😇🌃❣️
I heard this song for the very first time today and part from crying my eyes out because it it so magnificently beautiful I also enjoyed seeing my most favourite city in this world. Tommy walking through the streets of Old Town Stockholm is the cherry on top of this so beautifully sung song. If Tommy would stop his christmas calendar right now Incould die a happy lady. Fortunately he doesn't and I don't have to die just yet😊
I hope you enjoyed the traditional version of this but I can't imagine it could even come close to Tommy's version! I'm just gearing up for Christmas and watching some of last years reactions in preparation for (I hope) this years month of Tommy Christmas songs! Totally agreed with everything you had to say! ❤
This is how I remember the song, from school choirs at Christmas. Not as pretty as this of course, because this is a real choir and not just "normal school kids" trying to sing very high notes th-cam.com/video/kHkVrDVtZmA/w-d-xo.html
This is a swedish psalm, made in 1891 and it' s wonderful! Tommy is absolutly fantastic💕
Wow it’s timeless!! Sooo beautiful
Was a poem of Viktor Rydberg and a female composer Alice Tegner found it and put music to it.
It's not unusual for singers to excel singing in their native language. This was beautifully done, so much emotion!

Tommy sounds amazing in any language 😊
One of the most known Christmas hymns in Sweden. I learned it in school as a kid
And being forced to sing in it with voices who couldnt handle it. Yes been there done that, poor parents.
I love this song. I have sung this one so many times in Lucia processions and choirs in my life. It's absolutely beautiful.
Once upon a time I sang in the school choir. Yes, when it was time for Lucia this song was always included.

Shines over lake and shore
star in the distance
you as in Österland (land of the east)
kindled by the Lord
The Star of Bethlehem
does not lead away, but home
the children and the shepherds
happy to follow you
Shining star
Brilliant star
Night over Judah
night over Zion
away at the western edge
Orion goes out
The shepherd, who sleeps tired,
the child who slumbers sweetly
wake up at wonderful
chorus of voices,
look a lovely clear
star in the east.
Takk så mye for oversettelsen!

So nice from Tommy to show us a part of Swedish Tradition, beautiful song, beautifully done. Just keeps getting better
Yes,IT was beautiful .♥️Tommy Is an angel And I am So thankful for what he do for me,for us🙏👏
Another christmas song in swedish is Jussi Björling - O helga natt. I think Tommy covered that one too.
If you want more Tommy Johansson christmas music (for 2023 i guess), listen to his version of O helga natt. It is beautiful.
I didn't understand the beautiful song, but Tommy's magic & emotional voice made the song so beautiful & I knew it was Special🙏thanks so much Tommy Brilliance ⚜️ I shed afew tears😥 Our Chosen One💙🤙

Hi, great reaction, I completely agree with you, why don't they play songs like this, I salute you
Best Christmas songs ever Heard
Love your reaction 😍 I will say Tommy is doing it very classic but "Tommy-good".
This is absolutely beautiful😍 Tommy is amazing ❤️

Jussi Björling, Peter Jöback, Tommy Körberg or Carola Häggkvist. There is a english version Star of Betlehem.
My favorite when I was a kid...🇸🇪
I agree with you! It IS bullshit! Tommy sings so beautifully and i am so moved!
It's candy for the ears.
music is universal- reaches over language barriers, national borders and so on! Its nice to see someone enjoy singing in my native tongue!
Fantastiskt älskar det
❤ tommy vilken röst helt underbart
Beautiful 💕🧑🎄🧑🎄

I totally agree with u...why Mariah Carey when we have Tommy? This version makes me proud to be Swedish!
Listen to the swedish tenor Jussi Björling when he sings this song..
Recommend ”Jul jul strålande jul”
Which other version did you listen to?
I like the one with Tommy Körberg :)
That’s the one I listened to and jul I folkton
Look up Jussi Björling if you have not already!!
Will you please react to The Lady of Heaven movie Trailer next? 💙😊
