Kenneth Gärdestad: Zitate auf Englisch

“…It was important that the songs do not contain too many words with "P" since it gave a popping sound. "K" was not so poppy either. On the other hand, "U" was a good letter and had so many vowels in the texts…”

On constructing the lyrics for Ted Gärdestad's songs, to avoid plosives, such as "Himlen är oskyldigt blå”, as quoted on Kenneth Gärdestad: “Jag vill inte att minnet av Ted förknippas för mycket med hans sjukdom”, Lahti, Gabriella, News55.SE, published on 20 February 2016 (web)

“Sun, wind and water are
The best as I know
But it's on you, I
Think secretly
Sun, wind and water
High mountains and deep sea
That is my dream woven off.”

Sol, vind och vatten är
Det bästa som jag vet
Men det är på dig jag
Tänker I hemlighet
Sol, vind och vatten
Höga berg och djupa hav
Det, är mina drömmar vävda av
"Sol, vind och vatten", lyrics written by Kenneth
Song lyrics, With Ted Gärdestad, Ted (1973)

“In my world, I would like to take as much positive vibrations as possible. The same goes for our music. I feel that there is a big impact.”

“I, I've got no fear of flyin' high
'Cause high above the rainbow, my sun's gonna shine
And nothing can happen as long as you're mine
So I'll make my landing alive”

“I want to have my own moon, I can go to
Where I can forget that you left me
I can sit on my moon and do what I want
Where I stay until everything is alright.”

Jag vill ha en egen måne, jag kan åka till
Där jag kan glömma att du lämnat mig
Jag kan sitta på min måne och göra vad jag vill
Där stannar jag tills allting ordnat sig.
"Jag vill ha en egen måne", lyrics written by Kenneth
Song lyrics, With Ted Gärdestad, Undringar (1972)

“I don't want the memory of Ted Gärdestad to be associated with his illness too much; but also how positive he was. He could, of course, do it, regardless of his hearing of the voices. He sometimes said that he would set for the votes to justice; they would answer for stuffs they did against him.”
