OMG, someone's reacting to Kent! I wish more people knew about them, they're so damn good! I first heard them because one of their songs ("Den döda vinkeln") was used in a Battlefield 2 skit video with little funny scenes and the song just jumped out at me. Bought the album soon after and have loved their music ever since.

Thank you guys for reacting to this. This is my favourite song of Kent and Kent is my favourite band. This song really means alot to me with going through life. Anyway the MV is fanmade. Also, react to Max 500 from the same album Du & Jag döden, Im sure you would like the MV to it! 😂

Their best album, imo. I love it and always return to it every few years and then play it to death again

Like you I only discovered KENT on there farewell song that is in bodied into my driving play list. Thanks for that

Every time i hear that intro i have goosebumps, i've been listening to it for years, not swedish, simply love kent

I love James. She’s on the spot. And I’m Swedish ♥️

Their songs often don't translate well into english, and I saw a Chat GPT attempt, but it loses some of the context, because a lot of their lyrics allude to swedish idioms and cultural references, so I took the time to translate the song as faithfully as I could, with respect to context: A row of benches in a restless late April I look over my shoulder and see you nod off I can have you when you want A breeze blows rubbish along the corridor a final time And you and I hold our breath, and hold hands as we leap Home's not that far And yet there are thousands of tears left And they were yours to give to anyone, finally They are the most priceless jewels you have So never apologize again Finally, we cross their boundaries Do you remember our blood oath, our law? A stupid crusade against an equally stupid town? I remember everything, like nails against glass But you just laugh at me, reduce everything to a joke But I see in your anxious posture, your haunted gaze that it feels Like we're a long way from home And yet there are thousands of tears left And they were ours to give to anyone, finally They are the most priceless jewels we have So never apologize again Finally, you set your own boundaries And that boy I never knew Who walked streets I never saw And thought thoughts I never thought Under a thin and fleeting hairdo And all the feelings hit and blew The whole day-to-day full of holes In a time when nothing happened In a city that always slept But darling, we were all kids once Yes, we were all kids once Yes, we were all kids once I throw rocks in my glass house I throw darts in my incubator And so I cultivate my fears Yes, I am constantly sowing new seeds And in my greenhouse I am safe There envy grows clear and green And I am scared for my life of living And I am deathly afraid to die But darling, we will all die one day Yes, we will all die one day Yes, we will all die one day Yes, we will all die one day Yes, we will all die one day Yes, we will all die one day

They actually made an English language record too. The tv personality and tattoo artist Kat Von D apparently loves it according to some social media posts.

The text elvates that awesome music a hundred times!!! So sad not every can understand what is sung, that's where the pure genius lies!!! I really love James, but this is really on another level, this is not pop.. This is one man´s legacy, more like Shakespeare... Yeah, poetry with really awesome music...

Every song with them brings tears to my eyes because I will never see them again 😥

Jocke talked about a potential comeback the other day!

Thanks for giving Kent another go :-) They often ended their concerts with this song, significantly extending the ending in a satisfying manner. Joakim excellent Swedish poetry doesn't easily translate well to English, but here's ChatGPTs attempt at it: A bench row in a restless late April I look over my shoulder and see you wink I can have you whenever you want A wind blows trash along the corridor one last time And you and I hold our breath and hold hands in the leap It's not so far home And there are still thousands of tears left And they were yours to give to anyone Finally They are the most precious jewels you have So never apologize again Finally, we pass their borders Do you remember our blood oath, our law? Our foolish crusade against an equally foolish city I remember everything, like nails against glass But you just laugh at me, diminish everything to a joke But I see in your anxious posture, your chasing gaze, that it feels That it's far home And soon there will be no tears left And they are ours to give to anyone Finally They are the most precious jewels we have So never apologize again Finally, you set your own limits And that boy I never knew Who walked on streets I never saw And thought thoughts I never thought Under thin and flimsy hair And all the feelings hit and exploded The whole existence full of holes In a time when nothing happened In a city that always slept But darling, we were all once small Yes, we were all once small Yes, we were all once small I throw stones in my glasshouse I shoot arrows in my cocoon And so, I cultivate my fear Yes, I constantly sow new seeds And in my greenhouse, I am safe Where envy grows clear and green And I am terrified of living And I am terrified of dying But darling, we shall all die someday Yes, we shall all die someday Yes, we shall all die someday We shall all die someday We shall all die someday We shall all die someday ----- They made English versions of two(?) albums back in the day, so here are two suggestions for you: Music Non Stop - kzread.info/dash/bejne/iWd6p6d-ft2ThdY.html 747 - kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZKKkqdeTe8fOl6g.html

@@faymilan2429 Thankyou Sweden for Kent. Found out about this group years after they broke up. Love this group,

This one is one I've not heard often. Though iirc I mentioned that one song I heard for years before realizing the language was not english. I listen to Radio Paradise at work, and Kent is among the many non-english music played (African, Spanish, Italian, French, and though it's an American band, Khmer, off the top of my head) anyhow, the CC had the translation for me.

This video is a mosh up various different kent videos. Love this song. He is reflecting on his life from when he graduated from high school.

Love Kent. Don´t give up on them even if you can´t find subtitles.

The man in white hat (16 years later) in English. 16 year after graduated he wrote the song and its about ending school but also thinking about the life being short. Vi ska alla en gång dö means we shall all once die so about teenage time and yet thinking its sometime is going to end

Please react to either Kent - Hjärta, or Joakim Berg & Maria Jane Smith - Sommaren!! (Joakim Berg was the vocalist and frontman of Kent)

They did two of there albums, isola and hagnesta hill in English check it out

Songs name translates to "The Man in the White Hat" and here are some AI translated lyrics: Here's the English translation of the lyrics: On a bench in a restless late April I look over my shoulder and see you wink I can have you whenever I want A wind blows trash along the corridor one last time And you and I hold our breath and hold hands in the jump It's not so far home And there are still thousands of tears left And they were yours to give to anyone Finally They're the most precious jewels you have So never apologize again Finally, we pass their borders Do you remember our blood oath, our law?

Loved the track. Didn't understand the video or the lyrics. I was just about to say James as you said it 😂😂😂😂

Moooooore kent please. Please react to Things she said. It might be nice for you to hear a english kent song, theres a great live session called 2meter sessions or you can watch the music video!

Thanks for reaction to Kent, but this is no official video just as you say. Thia song is epic, and as very often with Kent their text is complext and free to interpret, and sometimes political and emotianal provoticave. Please check out more easier videos like Mirage, Jag ser dig, or their epic Sista Sången filmed from their farewell tour. Love that you give them your attention. Another not so famoues band is Deportees, best drummer in the world play there. Are also drummer when the french band Poenix play. Island and shores are a great song from Deportees among many.

You should listen to some of there English stuff

This is a great song from Kent’s best album. I feel sorry though, since you don’t know Swedish you’re missing out on the beautiful lyrics. 😊

Nice that you are reacting to Kent. One of my favourites from them "Kevlarsjäl" that has been done in an english version too. Would be fun if you'd check it out. Kevlar soul: kzread.info/dash/bejne/Y6iHs9ymoa2zc8Y.html

If you check it out listen to the king is dead and things she said

Yea, pretty nice to see a reaction on a swedish song sung in swedish. Not many of those songs have travelled outside our borders with pride. And the guy gets it,, sometimes u need to close your eyes to truly get it 🙂 And to the lady, the translations from Swedish to English in Kent songs doesnt give what u feel. Even their own albums sung on english lacks the tender touch of how the words are being used. maybe the same loss u will have when translating some poetry

Jocke says he writes about feelings and places. In the translation (my swedish isnt the nest), I seems alot of metafors. Very poetic,

Hey, I hope you will react to the Warning's new song that dropped yesterday called "Sick". It's really Good. Hope to see it on your channel soon. It's been way too long since you've reacted to the Warning.

To me they sound a bit like Suede combined with Sigur Ros. Even if I understand swedish it is not very articulated, so... But one of the other commenters has a translated lyric that seems pretty close as far as I can see.

i was just checking the video and there is sub you just didnt switched it on

James 🤔

I don't think this is the official video because it looks like a mishmash from several different videos. You've been watching some of their older music, so why don't you react to the final song to their final album (literally named "The Last Song")? It's quite different from their other music and I'm sure you'll enjoy it: kzread.info/dash/bejne/fm16xtONiKfNY8o.html

❤❤❤What a great band. Legendary songs. Actually Swedish-Finnish super group😊. A little bit credit for us too😂. Too soon. On the top just stop. I remember their fairwell concert in Finland, Helsinki. It was a giant tent, over 20 000 people. FF, Dom Andra, Kärleken väntar, 3000....Miss ya❤❤
