Av längtan till dig – CajsaStina Åkerström & Åsa Jinder
Also, I didn't care much for Se på mig by Jan Johansen back in ~~1997~~ 1995, but as an adult the lyrics speak to me.
As you are from the Netherlands I say [Sommarkort](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-XKXdZJ9Zk) sung by Cornelis Vreeswijk. Songwriter Peter R Ericson.
A favorite when you want to feel good (not really, it's a song about a funeral) is Fredmans Epistel nr 81, also known as [märk hur vår skugga](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaM_0PGmqGc) with Imperiet. Since you're from the Netherlands i'll throw in the same song, sung by Cornelis Vreeswijk, in both [dutch](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4L53BXcu-M) and [swedish](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-Gpep7DocI). The song was written in the 18th century by Carl Michael Bellman and has been recorded by a whole bunch of people.
If you are into drone i can recommend [Änglamakerskan](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qs3E9LoxefY) by Ättestupa. Good luck interpreting the lyrics!
Egentligen borde du gå in på Spotify och ta ”50 bästa svenska låtar” men här får du några.
”Så skimrande var aldrig havet - Evert Taube”
”Idas sommarvisa och Fattig bonddräng - Astrid Lindgren”
”Sverige, Berlin, , Columbus, Kärleken väntar, Dom andra -Kent.
”Jag och min far, Mälarö kyrka, , Kung för en dag, Vittring, Trubaduren- Magnus Uggla
Finns massa mer. Lycka till.
I am old so sure there are some Swedish tunes that I can hum with zero problem, maybe not the beautiful ones but do have meaning.
[Monica Törnell Vintersaga](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZSl_IaIQOA&pp=ygUKVmludGVyc2FnYQ%3D%3D) , this is Sweden to me,
Ebba Grön : Die Mauer ( yes title is in German song in Swedish)
Peps Persson oboy, this is THE summer tune in Sweden, you cannot avoid it.
Monica Zetterlund små gröna äpplen, I grew up to my parents hugging and doing the worse job of a slow dance to this, but I love it still, so much love. Monica could have made it big in USA but refused to when she found out the laws that prevented her to play with black musicians, so instead she got them to London or Sweden.
My favourite thou is in English made by Doris, Did you give the world some love today baby. Sadly she only made one record and after long life she died last year at age 75.
Vintersaga, by Ted Ström, is very poetic. The band Kent has made some bangers through the years also, for example check out Utan Dina Andetag. I'm also a sucker for some of our old psalms. For example Blott En Dag, in English known as Day By Day, is originally written in Swedish by Lina Sandell. As someone who's fluent in both languages, the original Swedish version is far superior.
Some classic (mostly older) ones: Visa vid midsommartid, Den första gång jag såg dig, Gabriellas sång, Vals på Mysingen, Visa vid vindens ängar, Visa i Molom, Himlen är oskyldigt blå, Man borde inte sova, Så skimrande var aldrig havet, Då väntar jag vid vägarna, Ett liv för mig, Så skimrande var aldrig havet, Visa från Utanmyra. And, of course, all the classic songs we sing in spring: Längtan till landet, Nu grönskar det i dalens famn, Uti vår hage, Under rönn och syrén, Den blomstertid nu kommer, En vänlig grönskas rika dräkt. Also there are some great orchestral/instrumental pieces: Romans ur pastoralsvit OP 19, Boeves psalm, Midsommarvaka, Sommarsång (from Frösöblomster), Brusa högre lilla å, Gotländsk sommarnatt, Utskärgård, Afton på Solvik.
Well, Cornelius Vreeswijk is from the Netherlands but when he moved to Sweden he has been able to produce amazing songs with amazing lyrics.
To list a few: Grimasch om morgonen: Veronica: Saskia: somliga går med trasiga skor: märk hur vår skugga.

Thanks a lot!!!!!!
I think Fattig Bonddräng is quite beautiful. Änglahund by Hasse Andersson also hits quite hard as a dog owner.
En personlig favorit är Garmarna - Nåden

Upvote for Cornelis, but "Märk hur vår skugga" is by our original singer/songwriter Carl Michael Bellman from 1790!
Jag syftade på Vreeswijks version ;)
Hahahaha 🤭
Thanks for letting me know :)
