Eric Saade – Så Jävla Fel

“It’s ambiguous from the lyrics whether they’ve actually broken up or if she’s just popped out to get some milk.”

Tim: Eric’s back after what feels like years, with a song titled ‘So Damn Wrong’. Make your own jokes…

Tim: The titular Så Jävla Fel is how it feels when he’s not around his woman, though it’s ambiguous from the lyrics whether they’ve actually broken up or if she’s just popped out to get some milk; either way, standard message for what is, let’s face it, a somewhat standard song.

Tom: I was going to say: there’s not much here to spark interest. There’s just too many long, dirge-like synths in the background, and the song just seems to plod along.

Tim: Having said that, I do like the chorus here, mainly because it comes as quite a surprise – the verse and intro and stuff is so different from what I like to associate with him that it’s almost a relief to hear it, as it’s a bit closer.

Tom: The only part that stands out for me is the introduction to that chorus. It’s good, but it’s surrounded by so much dull that I just can’t get into it. But yeah, to damn with faint praise: at least that chorus is a relief.

Tim: As well as being not bad in its own right, mind. Just, a bit of a shame about the rest of the song.
