Rest in peace, ΛVICII.
1989 – 2018.Gone too soon at 28 years old.
He will be a Swedish legend forever. 💙💛
“WE ALL REACH A POINT IN OUR LIVES AND CAREERS WHERE WE UNDERSTAND WHAT MATTERS THE MOST TO US. For me it’s creating music. That is what I live for, what I feel I was born to do.” – Avicii.
“When you get older
Your wild heart will live for younger days
Think of me if ever you're afraid
He said, one day you'll leave this world behind
So live a life you will remember”
– The Nights, Avicii.
I have so many Avicii songs on my playlists and I've listened to them countless times, and I will continue to listen to them. I especially remember that my Brother and I used to sing his song “Hey Brother” to each other so that one is extra special to me. ♥

My Top Genre is Pop.
My Top Artists are Ed Sheeran, Def Leppard, Flo Rida, INNA and Pitbull.
My Top Songs are “Sommar sommar sol” - JLC (JLC is a Swedish YouTuber trio, apparently I actually liked this song, haha), “Hysteria” - Def Leppard, “The Touch” - KOLAJ, “100 Degrees” - KOLAJ and “Ecuador - Original Mix” - Sash!.
My Top Songs is a quite interesting mix; a Swedish “joke” song, a rock ballad and “party” songs.
Spotify also told me: “You skipped 576 songs this year, which means your trigger finger is more active than most. Maybe start listening with a fidget-spinner in hand?” which sounds quite funny to me. I do know that I skip many songs, but most of my playlists are filled with so many songs and sometimes certain songs don't speak to me or my current mood but I still like them and don't want to remove them from my playlist.

Hans Zimmer today!
Tonight I'm going to see Hans Zimmer at Globen!
I'm going to the concert with my friend Christopher and it starts at 8 pm.
Hans Zimmer will have a band with 15 people, an orchestra and a choir. There will be a total of 60 musicians on stage.
The concert consists of two parts: The first part consists of some of Hans Zimmer's legendary movie themes like “Gladiator”, “The Lion King” and “Pirates of the Caribbean”. And the second part consists of completely new versions of the music from “Inception” and “The Dark Night” trilogy.
Hans Zimmer has written music for over 120 movies and for his work he's been awarded 1 Oscar, 2 Golden Globes, 3 Grammys, 1 American Music Award and 1 Tony Award.
This is the first time Hans Zimmer will perform in Scandinavia.
I'm sure that this concert will be a really cool and fun experience and I'm really looking forward to it!
The Phantom of the Opera today!
Tonight I'm going to see “The Phantom of the Opera” at Cirkus!
I'm going to see it with my friend Johanna and it starts at 7:30 pm.
I've never seen a musical live before so I'm excited that “The Phantom of the Opera” will be the first musical I get to see since it's one of the most successful musicals in the world! But the biggest reason why I wanted to see it is because one of my favorite artists Peter Jöback is playing the title role as “The Phantom”.
Peter played the same role in “The Phantom of the Opera” in London 2012 and New York 2013 and now the third time he's playing the same role in “The Phantom of the Opera” in his/our hometown Stockholm! He will probably not be a part of this musical again and definitely not in Stockholm anyway so of course I couldn't miss the chance to see him star in the big musical that “The Phantom of the Opera” is!
Tickets to Hans Zimmer Live in Stockholm!
I just booked my tickets to Hans Zimmer Live in Stockholm on May 18, 2017!
I'm going to the concert with my friend Christopher.
Everyone who loves movies and their soundtracks probably know of Hans Zimmer. If you don't know of him, he's probably made the soundtrack to at least one movie that you love.
Since he's a composer and not a singer, I had no idea that he did concerts. I just stumbled upon a Facebook post about Hans Zimmer Live a few weeks ago and immediately knew that I wanted to go. As far as I know, he doesn't do concerts regularly anywhere and this is the first time he will perform in Scandinavia so I know that this will be a memorable and once-in-a-lifetime experience and I already look forward to it!
“In 2017 Hans Zimmer will be performing in Scandinavia for the first time. ‘Hans Zimmer Live On Tour’ comes to Ericsson Globe, Stockholm on May 18.
Hans, whose music can currently be heard in BBC 1’s ‘Planet Earth II’ and the Netflix phenomenon ‘The Crown’ will be joined onstage by his 15 piece studio band, along with an orchestra and choir bringing the total number of musicians on stage to over 60.
The ‘Hans Zimmer Live On Tour’ concerts will be in two parts: the first being some of Zimmer’s classic movie scores including Gladiator, The Lion King and Pirates of the Caribbean and more and the second featuring re-imagined versions of some classic scores such as The Dark Knight Trilogy and Inception with special guests from the rock and pop world.”
Ballet Gala - The best of Tjaikovski.
Tonight I'm going to see a ballet for the first time in my life!
My Mom saw an ad about this ballet in the Metro newspaper some week ago and showed it to me since she knows that I have been wanting to go and see a real ballet. So I asked my uncle if he wanted to go with me to see this ballet and he agreed and it also ended up being my belated Birthday present from him. To get to see a real Russian ballet the first time I see a ballet is definitely a good Birthday present!
This ballet is called “Balettgala - Det bästa av Tjaikovski” (“Ballet gala - The best of Tjaikovski”) and it's a unique ballet performance that restores the Russian classical ballet tradition in the best way. This ballet only plays tonight on October 10, October 11 and October 12 at Intiman in Stockholm.
“The Ballet Gala includes a cavalcade of the most complicated and in its beauty unforgettable ballet performances combined with a concert where the audience gets enchanted by Tjaikovski's magical music. The implementation is like a magical ride surrounded by an ever-conquering power of love.
The program is dynamic and changes between solos and parts with a large number of dancers on scene simultaneously. A variety of magnificent costumes and scenography contribute to unforgettable experiences.
The artists honor the Bolshoi Theatre ballet traditions and carry the show entirely according to the original productions and the great Petipa's choreography, which will not leave anyone unaffected in the auditorium.
The Moscow Ballet consists of young highly creative and talented dancers with strong personalities. They have won several prestigious international competitions and has had success in many leading theaters around the world, but primarily on the world-famous Bolshoi Theatre. They also had a highly acclaimed tour recently in Italy, Switzerland, Spain, USA, Mexico and New Zealand.
Now it is Sweden's turn to enjoy the magic and elegance of this first-class ballet with the best dance numbers from “Swan Lake”, “Nutcracker” and “Sleeping Beauty” accompanied by the great and timeless music of Peter Tjaikovski.”
(I translated this from Intiman.)
As you can read above, this is a real Russian ballet with music from Peter Tjaikovski so it sounds very promising! I hope that it will live up to my expectations and that I will like it, but no matter what it will be very interesting to get to see a ballet for the first time in my life and it will be something that I can say that I've actually seen and experienced.

Beyoncé @ Friends Arena today!
Tonight I'm going to see Beyoncé at Friends Arena! ♥
I'm going to the concert with my Brother and tonight will be the second time I get to see Beyoncé live! I still remember her concert at Ericsson Globe in 2007 as one of the best concerts I've ever been to (& I've been to quite many concerts) so I have no doubt that tonight's concert will be good!
The concert will start at 7 pm with the two opening acts Chloe X Halle and Ingrid.
I'll try to take a lot of photos at the concert tonight and you can expect to see them in a blog-post within a few days.

Nicky Byrne - Sunlight.
Nicky Byrne will represent Ireland with the song “Sunlight” in the Eurovision Song Contest 2016 here in Stockholm, Sweden.
Now we all know who I'll be cheering for in Eurovision Song Contest 2016! ♥
Westlife are my biggest childhood idols and I'll always support them even though they're not a band anymore. All of them have their own solo music careers and now finally Nicky have gone solo as well! Nicky have always been my favorite in Westlife, even though I obviously like all of them and the band as a whole, so this is very exciting! He have already been offered a album deal with Universal Music Ireland so I hope this means he'll begin his solo music career for real; make more music and go on tour etc. ♥

Melody Gardot @ Stockholm Waterfront today.
Tonight I'm going to Melody Gardot's concert at Stockholm Waterfront with my Uncle.
I won 2 tickets to Melody Gardot's concert already in June and I invited my uncle to go with me since I thought that he might like her music.
I've honestly not really listened to her music before because I don't listen to that music genre but I think it can be fun to listen to some live music that I've never listened to before and it will definitely be a new experience for me.
