1) Kim L… Read Full Bio ↴There are several Danish musicians by the name Kim Larsen:
1) Kim Larsen (Kim Melius Flyvholm Larsen, Copenhagen, Denmark, 23 October 1945 - 30 September 2018) was a Danish rock singer, guitarist and songwriter, known for his solo career as well as being the lead singer of Gasolin'.
Inspired by The Beatles and rock'n'roll, Kim Larsen began writing songs and playing guitar. In 1969 he met Franz Beckerlee and Willi Jønsson. The three of them founded Gasolin' and were later joined by drummer Søren Berlev.
After Gasolin' released their second album, Kim Larsen left the band due to creative differences, but he was quickly convinced to rejoin the band again. In 1973, prior to Gasolin' releasing their third album, Larsen recorded his first solo album, Værsgo. Another followed in 1978, when Gasolin' disbanded. That same year he released a live album, Vogt dem for efterligninger, under the name Starfuckers (together with Stig Møller).
Larsen released several records under his own name in the early and mid 80s, most notably Midt om natten. In 1986 he founded a new band Kim Larsen & Bellami. The band released four albums up until 1992, when they disbanded again. Larsen then recorded another solo album, Hvem kan sige nej til en engel, before he moved to Odense in 1995 and found more success with his new band Kim Larsen & Kjukken. The band continues to record and perform live to this day and they released their latest studio album, Gammel Hankat, in 2006.
For almost four decades, Kim Larsen has had a number of successful album releases as a solo artist and is one of the most influential and popular artists in Danish popular music history. He remains a top concert draw in Scandinavia and his 1983 album Midt Om Natten is the most sold album in Denmark with more than 532,000 copies shipped (as of 2010). As a solo artist Kim Larsen has sold approximately 3 million records, an exceptional feat for an artist recording in Danish.
2) Kim Larsen is one of Denmark's leading underground figures, best known for his work with doom metal band Saturnus and his solo folk-noir project Of the Wand and the Moon. He has also issued records under the Solanaceae and The Loveless banners, and is a member of and lyricist in the band Black Wreath.

Kim Larsen Lyrics

Ta'r du så med mig i skoven
Og din mor hun si'r ja ja
Så bli'r der fuglesang foroven
Smut du bare ind og spø'r
De vil ikke sige nej nej
For de stoler på dig
For det er mig der har drømmene
Med til dig
Og så kører vi afsted
Ud af byen langs med vandet
Fra far og mor har du ja ja
Så vi kysser lidt blandt andet
Kys mig bare en gang til
Du kan ikke sige nej nej
For de stoler på dig
Men de kender sgu da ikke mig
For det er mig der har drømmene
Med til dig
Ja det er...
Så hvis din far gi'r dig lov
Ta'r du så med mig i skoven
Og din mor hun sir vov vov
Så bli'r der fuglesang foroven
Smut du bare ind og spø'r
De vil ikke sige nej nej
For de stoler på dig
Med de kender sgu da ikke mig
For det er mig der har drømmene
Med til dig
Ja det er...
Ja det er...
Ja det er...
Ja det er...
Ja det er...
The song "Hvis Din Far Gir Dig Lov" by Kim Larsen tells the story of a young couple wanting to escape the constraints of their families and society. The lyrics speak of the singer asking the young woman to join him in the woods if her father allows her to do so. He goes on to mention how her mother will likely agree as well and they'll have the sound of birds singing above them. The singer says he will drive them out of the city along the water and kiss her. He acknowledges that it's him with the dreams to bring along to her.
The singer then repeats the chorus, emphasizing how if her father gives her permission, she should go with him into the forest. He mentions how her mother will say "vov vov," possibly to their pet dog, but also meaning "yes, yes" in a playful manner. He reassures her that her parents trust her, but they don't know him, and it's him who has the dreams to share with her.
The song speaks to the desire of young people to break free from the restrictions placed on them by society and authority figures. It could also be interpreted as a message of rebellion against traditional values and expectations of love and relationships. The lyrics can be seen as a call to follow one's heart even if it means going against the rules.
