Swedish trio Slowgold offer dreamy folk pop for weary souls, with a hint of psychedelic rock added for good measure. Frontwoman Amanda Werne has an unforgettable voice and a charismatic stage presence: calm and quiet, yet strong and very much to the fore. True to their name, Slowgold offer moments of slow living in the middle of the hectic modern world. It’s music for people who dream of getting lost in something calming for a while
At age 16, Amanda began songwriting, since then the music career just rolled on. Amanda Werne was born and raised in Gothenburg.
Amanda started playing the violin when she was seven. In addition, she mastered the piano, guitar and harmonica. In high school, she formed her first band 'The Rocket Machine' named after a Bob Hund song of the same name. Then it became rather calm around her, but she pulled herself together and asked some friendly band members for help with performing of own songs.
Slowgold - with Amanda as the sole permanent member - have risen above the crowd. Earlier in the year released acclaimed full-length album 'Stjärnfall' (Falling Stars) and this summer was rounded 'Way Out West' in a grand manner. Confetti rain in gold could not symbolize this better. Sequel album 'Glömska' issued at the end of November and the Sonics PM Jönsson reviewing the disc by noting that Slowgold going from strength to strength. It is just to agree.
Brinna Långsamt
slowgold Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Det är i mitt hjärta du bankar
I huvudet brinner lågan som du
Och jag blir ensam igen med mina tankar
Varje kväll vill jag se dig sova
Och jag säger till mig själv
Kväv inte lågan
Tidens vingslag fläktar mig
Nuet rinner undan
Jag vill brinna långsamt med dig
Inte rinna undan som sand
Varje kväll vill jag se dig sova
Och säger till mig själv
Kväv inte lågan
The lyrics to Slowgold's song Brinna Långsamt explore the emotional turmoil that one experiences when in love, particularly the pain of separation and the desire to hold onto that love. The first stanza begins with the singer expressing an overwhelming feeling within themselves, that their heart beats for the person they love. They feel the fire within their head, which suggests a desire and passion for this person that cannot be ignored. And yet, they feel alone with their thoughts, which adds a layer of sadness to the song.
The next stanza further emphasizes the singer's desire to be close to the person they love, as they express a longing to watch them sleep every night. However, even though they know they must not let the flame of their passion die, they feel the passage of time slipping away from them, and they fear that their love may also slip away. The final line of the song, "Don't suffocate the flame," serves as a reminder to the singer to keep the passion of their love alive.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of desperation and pain, as well as a deep longing for a connection with another person. The singer wants to embrace their love fully and let it burn slowly and steadily, but they fear that the passage of time may extinguish it before they get the chance to fully experience it.

Jag känner det inom mig
I feel it within me
Det är i mitt hjärta du bankar
It's in my heart that you beat
I huvudet brinner lågan som du
In my head, the flame burns like you
Och jag blir ensam igen med mina tankar
And I become lonely again with my thoughts
Varje kväll vill jag se dig sova
Every evening, I want to see you sleep
Och jag säger till mig själv
And I tell myself
Kväv inte lågan
Don't smother the flame
Tidens vingslag fläktar mig
The wings of time fan me
Nuet rinner undan
The present slips away
Jag vill brinna långsamt med dig
I want to burn slowly with you
Inte rinna undan som sand
Not run away like sand
Och säger till mig själv
And I tell myself
Kväv inte lågan
Don't smother the flame
