Lukas Graham: 7 Years, Not A Damn Thing Changed & I'm Happy For You
Tuesday dashed in quietly (not so!). Still breezy up here which discouraged us from being outdoors. My little one was in alert mode each time he heard the rustling of things outside so I had to shut the windows just so he could relax. Then we played music most of the day. I had fun exploring new artists and albums on YT and was surprised that Tyrese (Roman Pearce on the Fast & Furious franchise movies) sings!
Do you happen to know that? Yep! It's a discovery for me today.
Anyhow, around noonish time, I came across Lukas Graham's 7 Years which piqued my interest and got me listening to more of his songs and also taking a quick peek at his bio. It turned out it was not a single person but a Danish pop band with members consisting of lead vocalist Lukas Forchhammer, drummer Mark Falgren, and others.¹
And here's to share 3 of their songs that I enjoyed today:
Lukas Graham - 7 Years
This song was released in the US by Warner Bros. Records and the album reached No. 3 on the Billboard 200, No. 2 in the UK and New Zealand, No. 1 in Australia and Canada, and No. 5 in Ireland.² And yes, it had Lukas nominated for 3 Grammy Awards and Song of the Year for BBC Music Awards. Unfortunately, they didn't win. This is by far their biggest hit single to date.
One thing that caught my heart about this song is the lyrics. It kind of speaks about a person's life cycle if I could put it that way. Found out that it was inspired by Lukas' environment while growing up in Christiania, a place which he says with no laws, police, streetlights, etc. A self-governing artistic community as Wiki puts it.
Lukas Graham - Not A Damn Thing Changed
Accordingly, this single was released in 2018 and peaked at number 2 on the Danish Singles Chart. The song is said to be a tribute to one of Lukas' childhood friends (William) who committed suicide in January of that year. Perhaps the place where he grew up hasn't changed over the years, hence, this song and its lyrics.
The music video was filmed in Copenhagen and Christiana and features Lukas Forchhammer's real-life childhood friends.
Lukas Graham - I'm Happy For You
A lovely song about the struggle from a break up and then moving on. I do like the fun beats that the song has.
I would say that the band's music style has its own uniqueness. Their song lyrics contain mostly serious themes but are good. The beats are a mix of soul, funk, pop, and hip hop.
Here are what some people say about the band:
Lukas Graham's music has been described as a pop-soul hybrid. In a review of the band's new album, journalist Jon Pareles of The New York Times described their sound as the place "where pop meets R&B". Patrick Ryan of USA Today wrote that the band's songs "effortlessly blend elements of hip hop and folk".³
Hope you enjoyed these tunes too.
This, by the way, is my participation in the initiative by Ablaze, Three Tune Tuesday. Share yours too, if you haven't already done so.
Thank you and I wish you a terrific Tuesday!

Today I am not going to say something about the music because a ghostly thing happened to me. After waking up I noticed that electricity wasn't available. So I started to read some posts of authors here from mobile and similarly, I came to your post and a ghostly thing happened. my browser closed automatically. and when I opened the browser again the interface showed me the last page before coming to your home page. It happened to me 4/5 times. I thought it was a bug of ecency and tried to read your post from peakd and I received the same result.
What's going on here means with this post?
I am writing this comment from my PC after the electricity return.

Hi @ifarmgirl
As you have noticed, there is not just "biyimi" account that has attempted to farm your upvotes on comments but also accounts:
"precab"
"yellow74"
"biyimi" is sharing the list of accounts to comment on to receive guaranteed upvotes, so there may be more accounts showing up to do the same farming.
Hey, thanks for the heads up. I appreciate it.
Thanks!
This is not true. I have myself clear over and over again in their discord server that we are not the same person.
We are different people. Biyimi just happened to introduce me to this platform. You can read through my introduction post to confirm that.
I am been accused for what I didn't do and I have made it clear to them in their discord server but they will not listen.
I dropped comments in communities I follow also. They didn't talk about that?
I replied comments, they didn't talk about that?
I dropped quality post, they didn't talk about that also?
And I have also made myself clear that it is not what they are thinking by me those list of recommended users. Of course there are other people I comments on that didn't upvotes me but I still comments on.
What else do you think I should do.
I am innocent of all this false accusations.
My reputation on this platform is at stake because of this false accusations
@ifarmgirl
Just keep on, don't get dismayed. By the way, did Biyimi have access to your account before? There was a time when his comment to my post was replied to using your account.
Really no I don't think
Though he was the one that created the account for me so probably the keys are still with him
I see. You can change your keys if you want.
hMmm that's actually an idea I can make use of
Just make sure not to lose them 😉
Thank you so much
Good tunes with lovely meditation
Yeah, they are quite good to listen to.
