CelebrationThe Cardigans

[Verse 1]
Sounds like you've been awake
Patiently stressed
Sure, it's like you've been awake
Placing your feet

[Pre-Chorus]
And we'll know you'll head away
Like the weight of a feather's kiss
And we'll know you'll head away
But you breeze like a body from hell

[Chorus]
Celebration for you, you my friend
Celebration for you, you my friend

[Verse 2]
Sounds like you've been asleep
Patiently stressed
Feels like I've been asleep
Drowning in dreams

[Pre-Chorus]
But we'll know you'll head away
Like the weight of a feather's kiss
And we'll know you'll head away
But you've raised like a body from hell

[Chorus]
Celebration for you, you my friend
Celebration for you, you my friend

[Bridge]
[?] at the end of the day
We pursued our confirmation
You will find us there
Sitting and celebrating your reincarnation
A celebration for you my beloved
For you my beloved

[Verse 3]
Sounds like you've been asleep
Patient and stressed
Sounds like you've been awake
Placing your feet

[Pre-Chorus]
And we'll know you'll head away
Like the weight of a feather's kiss
And we'll know you'll head away
And you breeze like a body from hell

[Chorus]
Celebration for you, you, my friend
Celebration for you, you, my friend

[Outro]
For you, my beloved

The Cardigans

One of the most pleasing pop groups of the ‘90s, the Cardigans specialized in sugary confections that would grow annoying very quickly if they weren’t backed by solid musicianship and clever arrangements. The band’s 1995 breakout album, Life, reflected the Cardigans at their most saccharine – the sunny disposition of vocalist Nina Persson being the major argument in favor – and critics inserted the group into the space age pop revivalist camp. the Cardigans later proved that they were more difficult to pigeonhole, however.

Even the band’s origins showed that their later appearance was quite misleading; two heavy metal fanatics formed the group in October 1992 in Jonkoping, Sweden. Guitarist Peter Svensson met bassist Magnus Sveningsson in a hardcore group, though he had previously trained in music theory and jazz arranging. The two later grew tired of metal and decided to form a pop band with vocalist Nina Persson – an art-school friend who had never sung professionally – plus keyboard player Lars-Olof Johansson and drummer Bengt Lagerberg.

All five Cardigans moved into a small apartment in 1993 and began recording a demo tape that entered the hands of producer Tore Johansson later that year. He liked what he heard and invited the group to record at his Malmö studio. Signed to the dance-oriented Stockholm label, the Cardigans released Emmerdale in May 1994. The single “Rise & Shine” became a hit on Swedish radio soon after the release of the LP, and a readers poll in Sweden’s Slitz magazine voted Emmerdale the best album of 1994.
