There have been rumblings from the Swedish indie sector about Magnus since he turned 20 when he got his first record deal with Ramblin Records in Lund - the neighbouring town of Malmö in the Swedish South. After having experienced first-hand the record industry's many ups and more downs over the last years - he has been working on his music - finely tuning a style that he can call his own. It all began in the town of Sodra Sandby where Magnus and his brother Anders (long time member of Christian Kjellvander's touring band) got access to the cellar at the local library. Here they sang harmonies to Depeche Mode tunes and inhaled every Beatles recording they got get their hands on. They turned the cellar into a makeshift studio and soon Magnus was playing drums, guitar, bass and was honing his voice in a wide array of local garage bands. As he got older he also mastered the pedal steel guitar with which he has toured with Kjellvander's band Loosegoats, EPs Trailerpark and local Helsingborg band "Ben" . One thing lead to another and soon he was in the US supporting Willie Nelson with Nelson's daughter Paula. In Sweden he has been touring with Sweden's leading rapper Timbuktu; in Scandinavia with Ane Brun (from Norway). Tingsek also toured in the US during 2005/2006. The 2nd album by Tingsek "World Of Its Own" was released in Scandinavia on October 25th 2006.

Love Letter
Tingsek Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Remembering the days that we spend, all together.
In shades of red and orange brown
It never got away cause it makes me feel better.
The memories of my home town.

But it's gone. It's not the same, well It's better..
And I wanna go back.
Well it's on, I'll play the game, Love Letter.

Oh, it's in my bones and it will be forever.
All guided by the midnight sun .
We met by the three stones and went out skating together.
On a poorly paved street in -91.

But it's gone. It's not the same, well It's better..
And I wanna go back.
Well it's on, I'll play the game, Love Letter.
I really wanna go back to you. I love you, yes I do!

Something oddly exceptional. Something that pulls me back there. 24017.

Weirdly Unconditional. Phycological welfare. 24017.
I wanna go back! Back 24017.

Overall Meaning

In "Love Letter" by Tingsek, the lyrics reflect on nostalgic memories of the past and the desire to go back to a familiar place, particularly the singer's hometown. The opening lines evoke a sense of warmth and togetherness, reminiscing about the days spent with loved ones, symbolized by the colors of autumn. The memories hold a comforting effect on the singer's emotions, providing solace in the present.

The song expresses a longing for the past but acknowledges that things have changed. While it's not the same as before, the singer believes it's even better in some way. This realization serves as a motivation to return and relive those moments. The phrase "Love Letter" hints at the idea of writing a heartfelt message to the past, reminiscent of a love letter, emphasizing the deep affection and yearning for the cherished memories.

The second verse brings more specific details about the past, mentioning meeting someone by the "three stones" and skating together on a poorly paved street in 1991. These specific memories hold significance, emphasizing the authenticity of the past and the connection shared with another individual. The emotional attachment to these moments is so strong that it feels like it's ingrained in the singer's bones and will last forever.

The final section of the song introduces the repeating phrase "24017" which seems cryptic. It could be interpreted as a unique code or symbol that holds personal significance to the singer. It represents something exceptionally odd and unconditional that pulls them back to the past, providing a psychological welfare. The repetition of the desire to go back reinforces the intensity of the singer's longing for those moments.
