Summer “Sunshine” extends into Sweden’s autumn
Written by PeterGm on September 20, 2004 to Gyllene Tider.
STOCKHOLM (UPDATED) - 
The new single “Solsken” (“Sunshine”) will bring more Gyllene Tider to the airwaves this autumn to avoid the summer enthusiasm from dying out. The song is already getting heavy radio airplay.
This summer has been specially hot and active for Sweden. “The boys” from Halland have come back and made everyone dance, sing-along and enjoy the tunes and melodies of Gyllene Tider with the biggest tour ever in Scandinavia… some to be part of the history, others to remember their youth, but all to enjoy this summer.
But now summer is ending and even if it has been owned by Gyllene Tider with an overcrowded tour, multi-platinum album success and a long playing double-A-side single on radio, they want to offer more “Sunshine” to Sweden, because GT doesn’t want this summer to end just yet.
“Solsken” (8616062) will be released September 29 and the B-sides are “Ordinärt mirakel” (“Ordinary Miracle”) and “Nere på gatan” (“Down on the Street”), both demos recorded at T&A demos.
The cover design features a picture of a sunny day drawn by Per’s son Gabriel.

This reminds me a song of Queen - Don’t stop me now! Oh yeah, don’t stop Gyllene sommar yet! :-)
Me and my friends have an experience of our lifes thanks to Gyllene Tider and Swedish journalists. Keep golden times going on... ;-)

I think “Ta Mej...” or “72” would be better as the second single than “Solsken”.
However, I love them all!!!

I think “Nere på gatan” or “72” would have made a better 2nd single. But it’s equal I’ve got them all- and they’re great, aren’t they?

It’s realy freat that GYLLENE TIDER are back after a short break.:) At first I was a little bit surprised that GABRIEL was the author of the cover, why HE and children of other GYLLENE TIDER member. But now when I saw the picture, I’m out of words. GABRIEL has got a style. :):):)

>>what the hell are those lines going from the man’s body to the shoes?? arms??
Maybe a try to illustrate the lyrics “Jag knyter mina skor”?
It’s sure different from the mainstream covers. But still, a happy cover for a happy song! Sunshine everywhere! This song has from the very first second of listening to it always put me in a good mood.
:D

talent? really? Of course it is good, but any child can do a picture of a sun, a car, some buildings and a person... all kids do!
However, psicologically speaking, I like the look of the picture as a whole. Children tend to draw big heads and small bodies. Here Gabe has attempted to be proportional... The use of colours looks good, and how he sees things also stands out.
When I was a kid, I drew the sun without a face (being in Spain, no importance was given to it)...I drew houses, not flats and buildings (maybe because I lived in a unit or flat, and found houses interesting as they are not common in my city)... and then the car seems to be a fast 4x4 instead of a sporty Ferrari any other kid might’ve drawn. Very interesting.

really nice picture... maybe not as good as Monalisa:) but it is funny!
Way to go Gabriel!
PS.
I don’t believe that “Gyllene Tider” was written by him...
And of course: birds are PERFECT ! :D
