Born in Borås to a writer father, his exposure to the public eye has been established through acting. After kick-starting his career in Sweden through an appearance in “Blå Ögon” (2014), he got a role as Sigurd on HBO’s “Vikings” (2016). The Gothenburg-based quintet was conceived in 2018, soon after Lindström got signed to Rexius Records. He had been training as a pianist since childhood and participating in various ensembles, but his initial releases with the label in 2019 presented him as a solo artist. His debut single “Autumn” earned him a feature on prominent Swedish blog Popmuzik and a warm reception among European audiences.
The band’s future pianist happened to be his roommate. Along came the other members of the ensemble, all of them based in one of Sweden’s most musically rich cities. They’ve been performing together since 2019, but their single “Are We Ever” (2020) was their first official release as a band. The years of Lindström’s piano training are still very present in their songs, characterized by a great emphasis on theatrical arrangements and jazzy (at times almost classical) harmony. But however intricate this instrumental approach might sound, it’s balanced with simple, memorable melodies. A lyrical combination of youthful energy with adult cynicism sets Day Felice apart from similar pop acts. Their second album “Ashes” was released on May 14th, 2021.
The band consists of David Lindström on vocals, Henrik Jingåker on keyboard, Nicolas Malmsten on drums, Jonatan Ney on bass, and Anton Hedberg on guitar.

I Don't Mind
Day Felice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
At once
I’m thinking too much
I’ve got my headphones on
It should be enough to
Still my mind
For just a little while
Let the night move in
(Are you still up? I was thinking that I made a mistake)
At the time I didn’t wanna forget it
I’ve kept it inside
Everything inside
To forget what you’ve written
Forget how I’d sit and try to go back in time
I was fine until you suddenly didn’t mind
I’m not coming over tonight
I should not break like this
’Cause somehow there’s life in
Crashing waves
I guess
I’m back where we were to
Read our names
In traces that we made
As if the past takes care
That it isn’t washed away
I didn’t wanna forget it
I’ve kept it inside
Everything inside
To forget what you’ve written
Forget how I’d sit and try to go back in time
We drew a line that day
And made it clear where I’m not permitted
I’d rather it didn’t fade
I was fine until you suddenly didn’t mind
I’m not coming over
Not coming over
I’m not coming over tonight
I’m not coming over
Not coming over
(I’m not coming over tonight)
I could answer, but I’ve already said it
It’s long overdue
So I’ll decide that tonight I am done with needing you
So I’m not coming over
Not coming over
I’m tense, sick and sober
Time is all I need
So take your memories and leave
At the time I didn’t wanna forget it
But here’s where it ends
I’ve come too far to let loneliness steer my life again
So I’m not coming over
Not coming over
I’m 10 seconds sober
All I need is time
Fuck your memories
I do mind
