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.
Mycket bättre
slowgold Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kan du ta
Väva dig en filt
Som kanske värmer bra
Bättre än det som var
Kan jag få glömma snart
Måste minnet stanna kvar
Släppa taget om det som var
Men det är minnena som plockar en isär
Du har det nog mycket bättre
Lämnat det du ej behöver på din väg
Jag önskar mig ibland tillbaks
Till den jag en gång var
Nu finns inget av den personen kvar
Och jag saknar dig nästan varje dag
These lyrics, from Slowgold's song "Mycket bättre," convey a sense of longing, nostalgia, and heartache. The opening line, "Tårarnas trådar, Kan du ta" (Tears' threads, Can you take?), suggests the intertwining and interconnectedness of tears and emotions. The following line, "Väva dig en filt, Som kanske värmer bra" (Weave yourself a blanket, Which may warm well), metaphorically represents the desire to create something comforting and protective out of the pain and sorrow.
The next lines, "Bättre än det som var, Kan jag få glömma snart" (Better than what was, Can I soon forget), express the longing to detach oneself from the past and move on from the pain. However, the following lines, "Måste minnet stanna kvar, Släppa taget om det som var" (Must the memory stay, Let go of what was), highlight the struggle to let go of the memories and the difficulty in moving forward.
The chorus, "Du har det nog mycket bättre, Lämnat det du ej behöver på din väg" (You probably have it much better, Left what you don't need on your way), reveals a feeling of envy or longing towards someone who has seemed to move on and leave behind unnecessary baggage. The singer expresses a desire to go back to who they once were, but laments that this person no longer exists, emphasizing the depth of their longing and the void left by the absence of a loved one.
The closing line, "Och jag saknar dig nästan varje dag" (And I miss you almost every day), further emphasizes the heartache and longing the singer feels. It serves as a poignant reminder of the lingering presence of the person they yearn for, despite their conscious efforts to move on.
Overall, "Mycket bättre" delves into the universal emotions of grief, longing, and the struggle to detach oneself from the past and find closure.

Släppa taget om det som var
Release the grip on what was
Jag trodde att jag gömde mig bra här
I thought I was hiding well here
Men det är minnena som plockar en isär
But it's the memories that tear one apart
Du har det nog mycket bättre
You probably have it much better
Lämnat det du ej behöver på din väg
Left what you don't need on your way
Jag önskar mig ibland tillbaks
I sometimes wish to go back
Till den jag en gång var
To who I once was
Nu finns inget av den personen kvar
Now there is nothing left of that person
Och jag saknar dig nästan varje dag
And I miss you almost every day
