My favourite songs are:
I Feel Lonely
Goodbye
Here She Comes Again
Take Good Care Of My Baby (as his alter ego **** Brave - it's supposed to be D-i-c-k... xD)
Turn It Into Something Special

Oh, how I adored Sasha more than 10 years ago!!! His I feel lonely and also Do you believe (is it his song, isn't it??! XD). Thank you!!

It's a pity, that in Russia we almost don't have good performers nowadays. They all use lipsynch and write silly lyrics. Pfffffff.

I am not from Sweden, but I really want to recommend iamamiwhoami as they are really underrated and they deserve more popularity.

iamamiwhoami is a musical project fronted by folk singer Jonna Lee. This is Lee's first foray into electronic music. After several mysterious videos, it was revealed that it was Jonna Lee. The other members still have not been revealed, however it is guessed that the producer is Claes Bjorklund, Lee's fiancée, the director is Viktor Kumlin and the other members are Jonna Lee's bandmates.

Here, I have embedded their first concert film, 63 minutes of pure pleasure, and the several videos that preceded it. The concert will make MUCH more sense that way.

To celebrate the 94th Indepedence Day of Finland, I would like to present this beautiful interlude of the band Nightwish. [I'm sure quite many of you know the band?]
This is from their newest album Imaginareum.

Lyrics

Lapsistain rakkain tää näyttämö on
From all of the children of mine, this stage is my beloved one
Mis kuutamo kujillaan kulkee
Wherein moonlight crosses its alleyways
Taipunut havu, kesä hoivassa sen
the twig of coniferous tree has bended in the tender care of summer
Valkomeren niin aavan
O' the white sea so vast it is
Joka aavekuun siivin
It reaches me like a ghostly moon with wings
Saapuu mut kotiin noutamaan
And has come to take me home

Päällä talvisen maan hetki kuin ikuisuus
In here wintery land, one moment is like eternity
Mi pienen kissan jaloin luokseni hiipii
Which tiptoes to me like a little kitten's paws
Tääl tarinain lähteellä asua saan mis
In here, where the spring of stories are, I can live
Viulu valtavan kaihon
The violion of great longing
Ikisäveltään maalaa
Paints its melody of eternity
Laulullaan herättää maan
And brings the land back to life with its singing

The lyrics are really poetry-like so sadly, I couldn't bring the whole beauty of it through this translation~ But I tried to ^_^
Hope you'll enjoy it!

^ I love Nightwish and can't wait for their new album to get released in the USA!
