Cumbancha's video: Kolonien - Farfars Jord Live In Studio

Kolonien's "Farfars Jord" (Grandfather's Land) is a beautiful and haunting song, perfect for the holiday season and introspective winter weather. This is the third single from the upcoming Kolonien album to be released by Cumbancha in late Spring 2022. With moving lyrics and a powerful message, Kolonien's ethereal Scandinavian folk pop will enchant and transport you. Kolonien is a four-member family band from Sweden that has been one of the leading voices of the Swedish folk revival for over a decade. With a sound that blends acoustic roots music with anthemic, sing-along pop, Kolonien has a fresh, appealing sound that brings multiple musical worlds together.

It speaks about how his generation built this place, in all its wonders and all its fallacies. Words derived from a conversation between Hans and ourselves, the young and the old. Perhaps also echoing the conversations between earth and man, as it appears in the search for a sustainable future. LYRICS Trees that fell to build this house Left a seed to grow again Water longs to dance again In streams that gave us millions of lives Holes that dug prosperity Left me thirsty by the sea Soil broken by my mouth Asks us to unite as friends Through the air Through the air, reaching me Healing words of poetry Trees that fell to build this house Left a seed to grow again Light comes in where cracks where made What you seek is seeking you, too Credits: Video: Petter Berndalen Recorded by Petter Berndalen Mix: Petter Eriksson @ Studio Folkhemmet Music by Kolonien Lyrics by Arvid Rask
