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.

slowgold Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kärleken slutar söka svar
En stund här en stund där
Den gjorde sig till utan besvär
Och vi älskade att ha den här
Detta är dagen då den stannar kvar
Denna kyss är för denna gång
Och vi älskade att ha den kvar
Detta är dagen då den stannar kvar
Kärleken slutar söka svar
En stund här
En stund där
Den gjorde sig till utan besvär
Och vi älskade att ha den här
Vi älskade att ha den här
In this song, Slowgold muses on the transience of love and how it can be both fleeting and eternal. The opening lines, "Detta är dagen då den stannar kvar / Kärleken slutar söka svar" ("This is the day when it stays / Love stops searching for answers") suggest a moment of clarity and contentment, where the lovers are able to let go of their doubts and concerns and simply enjoy the present. The repetition of "En stund här en stund där" ("A moment here, a moment there") reinforces the idea that love is not a constant, but something that comes and goes, ebbing and flowing like the tide.
The second verse continues this theme, with the lines "Denna kyss är för denna gång / Som om vi aldrig sjungit vår kärlekssång" ("This kiss is for this time / As if we've never sung our love song"). Here, the singer acknowledges that the moment is fleeting and may never come again, but that doesn't diminish its power or importance. The repetition of "Och vi älskade att ha den kvar" ("And we loved to have it here") reinforces the idea that even though love is impermanent, it's still worth celebrating and cherishing.
Overall, "Detta Är Dagen" is a bittersweet meditation on the nature of love and how it can be both fragile and enduring.
