I’ve long said that singers from Scandinavia have a lot of soul. And, in fact, that’s probably one of the lone parts of the world where rock n roll remains pop music in the traditional sense.
I come to grow fond of the Scandinavian singer Sigrid. Her music is in the sweet spot of pop-rock that I really like. And, yet, something about how young she is gives me pause for thought.
She’s only 26! (Oh, to be 26 again. Sigh.)
Now that I’m 50, I find myself feeling uneasy even listening to the music of someone so young.
I suppose some of it Sigrid represents youth culture and, alas, I ain’t young anymore. But what am I going to do about it? Age is immutable. I can’t change how old I am.
Anyway. Being old sucks.
