All we want is music!

Today, I’m going to post two videos with the same song. I have posted it before, in forums and in my old blog, but today I woke up with the song stuck in my head, so here we go again. It’s a sweet song, written by a Faroese singer-songwriter Teitur (one of my favourite musicians) and this song – “Louis Louis” is dedicated to Louis Armstrong, Teitur’s favourite musician.

I like the video (the first one of those below), because it shows how we affect each others lives, sometimes without even knowing it. The video is recorded in Denmark, and the last part of it reminds me so much of summer days in my home country – bicycling around the countryside, visiting people and enjoy the bright summer days.. uh, I’m getting kind of nostalgic now 😀 But memories is exactly why I post the other one too. That is Teitur performing the song at a festival in the Faroes. I was there at that concert, and it’s fun to see this again, but this time with a view from stage over the crowd, not the other way round – and it’s beautiful with all those people singing out loud: “all we want is music!”

And that’s true. Without music, we would be living in a dry, cold world. And music is a huge part of Faroese culture – that brings people together, strenghtens the community, and makes this place feel less isolated. Anyway, first of all, it’s just a nice song that I like listening to, and I hope you’ll enjoy it too 😉

And here’s the concert clip.. the quality of it could be better, you don’t have to watch it, LOL
