I don't understand a fucking thing, but this guy is a genious! I really recommend all of you downloading or buying his songs.

Any of you guys know him already? That's especially a question to you swedes. What do you think about him?

A few nice songs, but far from a genius.

He killed himself by jumping in front of a train. :x

all swedes know him ^^

he started out playing tennis as a teen and was very succesful, but he quit when he lost some sort of final against Björn Borg. Not quite sure when he released his first record, but he must have been 14 or 15, and it was produced by ABBA. He didnt keep playing for too long tho, mental issues or whatever. And in the late '90s he jumped infront of a train and died.

On a side note, his brother wrote all the lyrics while he composed the melodies

and he's considered to be a musical genius by musicians in Sweden, and im sure danes and norwegians have heard of him on occasions
