Many of his songs were about alcohol, women, and cars, quite often with obscene lyrics. Sometimes they were also politically oriented, many aimed at the Swedish social democrats. He was also a popular performer of Raggare music. Norstedt's other identity was the far more vulgar E. Hitler. In this guise he generally recorded more sexually explicit material.

He is remembered now mostly for his more explicit work, but many of his songs are very ironic and some contain clever, albeit unpolished, social commentary. Norstedt also recorded serious rockabilly songs with a distinct 1950s flavour in his own studio, called Studio Ronka (ronka referring to runka, which is Swedish slang for masturbation). He played most of the instruments himself. He often got bad reviews from the press, notably Expressen journalist Mats Olsson, to which Norstedt replied by writing even more offensive songs, such as Kuken står på Mats Olsson (Mats Olsson's got a hard-on). He reportedly said that no matter what he did it was never good enough for the critics.

Despite this he was considered an accomplished musician and songwriter, in particular by Swedish record company executive Bert Karlsson who, with mixed results, tried to foster that talent in Norstedt. He never had a major breakthrough and this is commonly attributed to his increasingly obscene songwriting. According to himself, he developed alcoholism in the late 1970s during periods of intensive touring. After collapsing on his way to a show he changed his lifestyle completely. He sobered up and started working out. However, despite his efforts the years of alcohol abuse eventually took their toll and he passed away in his home. He was survived by his wife and children.

Here comes the Rain again
Eddie Meduza Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I thought that I was over you and doing oh so fine
I thought that I was free for ? you
But suddenly you walk on by, the girl I can't resist
I close my eye and try to tell myself you don't exist

But every time I accidentally meet you anywhere
I guess my will, I simply must confess
The memory you giving me whenever you're around

Will push me from the highest hill and make me feel so down

Here comes that pain again, drives me insane again
And I don't know if I ever be the same again
The thought of loosing you, still makes me oh so blue
And I don't know how I can reach you now when you are just a freind
Feel the misery coming over me, here comes that pain again

I playing round and paint the town, most every single night ??
Just trying to forget the things we had
I make a toast of good old freinds and think that i'm so ? ??
But all that booze with all it brings, more pain and misery

SOLO

The thought of loosing you, still makes me oh so blue
And I don't know how I can reach you now when you are just a freind
Feel the misery coming over me, here comes that pain again

And I think that I gonna loose my mind, here comes that pain again
Suddenly I know that I love you so, here comes that pain again

Overall Meaning

In the song "Here Comes the Rain Again" by Eddie Meduza, the singer expresses how he thought he was over a past love and doing well being free from it, but whenever he accidentally runs into his past love interest, all his pretensions fall apart, and he feels the intense pain and agony from the memory of their past. The mere sight of her drives him insane, and he can’t resist her presence. He tries to convince himself that she doesn't exist, but his heart doesn't listen, and he's left feeling down about the situation. The effects of the love he once had and lost leave him in utter misery, and he drinks to forget the pain, but it only amplifies his agony.

The chorus, "Here comes that pain again, drives me insane again, and I don't know if I ever be the same again" sums up the mood of the song. The song portrays the raw emotions that one goes through when missing someone, adding depth to the song. The melody is melancholic, and the lyrics are relatable, making it an excellent song to listen to when feeling low.

Line by Line Meaning

I thought that I was over you and doing oh so fine
I believed that I had moved on from our past relationship and that I was doing well without you

I thought that I was free for ? you
I was convinced that I had become completely liberated from you

But suddenly you walk on by, the girl I can't resist
But then, unexpectedly, you appear in front of me, and I can't help but feel drawn to you

I close my eye and try to tell myself you don't exist
I shut my eyes tight and force myself to believe that you're not real

But every time I accidentally meet you anywhere
However, whenever I unintentionally come across you in any place

I guess my will, I simply must confess
I suppose my determination to move on, I must admit

The memory you giving me whenever you're around
The recollection that you remind me of each time you're nearby

Will push me from the highest hill and make me feel so down
Is strong enough to force me to the peak of a mountain and then bring me back down to dismal depths

Here comes that pain again, drives me insane again
The familiar anguish is returning, making me go crazy once more

And I don't know if I ever be the same again
And I'm uncertain if I'll ever be able to recover completely again

The thought of loosing you, still makes me oh so blue
The idea of losing you still fills me with immense sadness

And I don't know how I can reach you now when you are just a freind
And I'm not sure how I can contact you now that you're only a friend

Feel the misery coming over me, here comes that pain again
I can sense the agony returning and overwhelming me once again

I playing round and paint the town, most every single night ??
I go out and try to have fun by enjoying the vibrant nightlife almost every night

Just trying to forget the things we had
In an effort to forget everything we once had together

I make a toast of good old freinds and think that i'm so ? ??
I raise a glass to my longtime pals and try to convince myself that I'm content

But all that booze with all it brings, more pain and misery
However, drinking excessively only leads to more grief and distress

The thought of loosing you, still makes me oh so blue
The notion of losing you still fills me with immense sadness

And I don't know how I can reach you now when you are just a freind
And I'm not sure how I can contact you now that you're only a friend

Feel the misery coming over me, here comes that pain again
I can sense the agony returning and overwhelming me once again

And I think that I gonna loose my mind, here comes that pain again
And I feel like I'm going to lose my sanity, as the familiar anguish returns

Suddenly I know that I love you so, here comes that pain again
All of a sudden, I realize that I still love you deeply, and the familiar agony returns
