Rasmus Seebach

ok, I admit it, I've totally fallen in love with Rasmus Seebach's new song "Natteravn".

Fine, with Rasmus aswell haha I love his voice, the personal way he sings...

I'm not surprised it's such a major hit here in Sweden, I certainly couldn't stop singing along the very first time I heard it! haha

They say it'll be the big hit of the summer...

here's hoping! ;o)

So here's the lyrics for those who can't hear what he's singing:

Natteravn

Jeg flakker rundt,

jeg ved ikke hvor jeg hører til,

hey, endnu en tur i byen,

hva’ fanden skal det føre til.

alt for længe har jeg været natteravn,

så mange smukke mennesker,

i indre København,

ser en silhuet, du forsvinder med det samme,

hvor er du nu, hvor er du nu.

Kærligheden kalder nu i nat, kalder du,

her er for meget larm, kan ikke høre dig, uhuu..

Kærligheden kalder nu i nat, kalder du,

jeg finder dig, jeg ser dig for mig selvom jeg ikk' kender dit navn.

Jeg kalder på dig,

jeg kalder på dig,

ja, jeg kalder på dig,

jeg kalder på dig,

ja, jeg kalder på dig,

jeg kalder på dig,

ja, jeg kalder på dig,

jeg kalder på dig.

Står her igen,

og brænder mine penge af,

jeg ser dig ude i mængden,

og skipper lige et hjerteslag,

alt forlænge har jeg været natteravn,

så mange smukke piger her

i indre København.

ser en silhuet, du forsvinder med det samme,

hvor er du nu, hvor er du nu.

Kærligheden kalder nu i nat, kalder du,

her er for meget larm, kan ikke høre dig, uhuu..

Kærligheden kalder nu i nat, kalder du,

jeg finder dig, jeg ser dig for mig selvom jeg ikk' kender dit navn.

Jeg kalder på dig,

jeg kalder på dig,

ja, jeg kalder på dig,

jeg kalder på dig,

Alt forlænge har jeg været natteravn,

i indre København

ser en silhuet, du forsvinder med det samme,

hvor er du nu, hvor er du nu.

Jeg kalder på dig,

jeg kalder på dig,

ja, jeg kalder på dig,

jeg kalder.

ja, jeg kalder på dig,

jeg kalder på dig,

ja, jeg kalder på dig,

jeg kalder på dig,

ja, jeg kalder, kalder,

ja, jeg kalder på dig,

ja, jeg kalder, kalder,

ja, jeg kalder på dig.

Rasmus is the son of Denmark's legendary "King of Schlager"; Tommy Seebach (1949-2003).

The picture below is from his glory days, he entered Denmark's qualification contest 8 times, won 3 times, 1979, 1981, 1993 which qualified him to compete for Denmark in the Eurovision Song Contest. Sadly, he never won.

He died of a heartattck whilst performing at the renowned Bakken Tivoli in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Rasmus, (b. March 28th 1980), is primarily known for being a sought-after songwriter and producer. Along with brother Nicolai, Rasmus has written and produced songs for various artists, both danish and international.

It wasn't until September 28th 2009 that his first solo-album was released, the first single was "Engel" (Angel in danish).

Here's a link to the official video.

"Natteravn" was actually on the album as a bonustrack but seeing as it grew vastly in popularity; it was released as his third single and so far it is his greatest hit!

So what does Natteravn mean? It translates into nightowl aka someone who's up late at night.

There's also a volunteer-organisation called "Natteravnene" ( The Nightowls), it is a concept that origins in Karlstad, Sweden, has grown big in Norway and there´s now about 140 local teams of nightowls in Denmark (2003 Wikipedia Norway).

Their soulmission is to be sober adults amongst alcoholindused youth in the streets, they walk around and chat to the kids, help out where they can a.s.o.

It is now a protected trademark.

Although I reckon he refers to the term of nightowl as in being up late... ;o)
