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.
Verklighet
slowgold Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Försöker se genom dammet
Vad som är upp eller ner
Rör mig inte mer
Vem bryr sig om riktning
Det tar ett tag att sakna ned
Väntar på vad jag kan få se
Men ingenting känns längre särskilt viktigt
Behöver inte längre någon hamn
För att nånsin kunna lägga till
Behöver man vara riktigt skicklig
Jag har låtsats att jag vet
Vilket som är verklighet
Men jag behöver inte se
Jag skulle ändå sjunka längre ner
Jag vet iallafall det
The lyrics to "Verklighet" by Slowgold express a sense of detachment and uncertainty. The singer is trying to see through the dust, but nothing seems important or clear anymore. The idea of direction doesn't matter anymore, and the singer is waiting to see what happens next. There is a feeling of floating or drifting, without needing a port or destination, with the understanding that it takes skill to ever really arrive at your desired goal. The singer has been pretending to know what reality is, but in truth, it doesn't matter because it would only make them sink further down. The last line sums up this sense of resignation and acceptance: "I know anyway."
The lyrics can be interpreted in many ways, but one possible meaning is that of someone who has lost their sense of purpose or direction. They are no longer invested in trying to understand what is real, and instead have chosen to float aimlessly. This could be due to a variety of reasons, such as depression, disillusionment, or even a sense of existential crisis. Ultimately, the song is a reflection on the idea that sometimes it's okay to not have all the answers, and to just exist in the moment without worrying about the future.

Jag spänner ögonen
I'm opening my eyes wide
Försöker se genom dammet
Trying to see through the dust
Vad som är upp eller ner
What's up or down
Rör mig inte mer
Don't touch me anymore
Vem bryr sig om riktning
Who cares about direction
Det tar ett tag att sakna ned
It takes a while to miss what's gone
Väntar på vad jag kan få se
Waiting for what I can see
Men ingenting känns längre särskilt viktigt
But nothing feels particularly important anymore
Jag svävar fram
I'm floating forward
Behöver inte längre någon hamn
No longer need a harbor
För att nånsin kunna lägga till
To ever be able to add
Behöver man vara riktigt skicklig
You need to be really skilled
Jag har låtsats att jag vet
I've pretended to know
Vilket som är verklighet
What's reality
Men jag behöver inte se
But I don't need to see
Jag skulle ändå sjunka längre ner
I would still sink further down
Jag vet iallafall det
At least I know that
