Tommy Seebach - Du er det dejligste (Danish TV) - ((STEREO)) descargar videos gratis

Tommy Seebach was one of the most popular singer/song writers in the 70's and 80's in Denmark. Tommy could write pop tunes - catchy pop tunes and he wrote song after song in those years for both himself and other artists.

Tommy also competed in the local Danish Eurovision (ESC) 8 times and won 3 of them. The last time he took part in the local ESC was in 1993 with the song 'Under stjernerne på himlen'. He won and came to the internationally ESC, where his song failed - really failed. It became the end of his career, as both his loyal fans and the press turned their backs to him. Tommy started to drink, got divorced and couldn't get a new recording contract.

After years of drinking Tommy one day decided to stop drinking and he actually managed to get small jobs on bars playing his old music. But in 2003 he suddenly got a heart failure and died only 53 years old. Tommy never got the respect he deserved the last years he lived. I have heard he became a bitter man, which is understandable.

Here is one of my favourite songs by Tommy. It's called "Du' det dejligste" (You're The Sweetest (or: Most Wonderful)) and has some of the best lyrics ever written in Danish. The lyrics are just SO beautiful and well-written and fits the music perfect. It's from a Danish TV show called Eldorado from 1983. R.I.P. Tommy

Lyrics: DU' DET DEJLIGSTE

Music + lyrics: Tommy Seebach & Ivan Pedersen (of Laban)

En smøg der ryger sig selv på kanten af mit hvide klaver.

Tegner med røg de toner i luften som jeg komponerer.

Og det sku´ bli´ en sang der sagde de ting jeg aldrig siger.

Hvad du betyder alt hvad du gi´r.

Men det så svært at få det sagt.

Alle de kønne ord får jeg ødelagt.

For hvordan sku' jeg, kunne tilegne dig,

ord der klinger lidt smukt.

Dem jeg finder på har alle de andre jo brugt.

Det er så svært at få det sagt.

Der sad jeg så med alle sanser vagt.

Kradsede ned en enkelt besked,

jeg si´r den kort som den var:

"Du' det dejligste jeg har".

Tangenterne for enden af min finger falder til.

Min melodi til dig den lyder præcis som jeg vil.

Med ordene går det knapt så let skønt jeg har prøvet tit,

at skrive dig sange, et vers der var dit.

Men det så svært at få det sagt.

Alle de kønne ord får jeg ødelagt.

For hvordan sku' jeg, kunne tilegne dig,

ord der klinger lidt smukt.

Dem jeg finder på har alle de andre jo brugt.

Det er så svært at få det sagt.

Der sad jeg så med alle sanser vagt.

Kradsede ned en enkelt besked,

jeg si´r den kort som den var:

"Du' det dejligste jeg har".
