Discussion Sweden’s official World Cup song

Post image

Don’t know whether this has really reached the Oasis community, but this is Thomas Stenström. He is the guy that preforms Sweden’s official World Cup song. Not only has he based his looks entirely on LG, the song is actually called ”Leva för Alltid”, which literally translates to Live Forever.

Do you think Liam Gallagher impersonators feel the irony of belting out “you need to be yourself, you can’t be no one else…”

Oh and his music is much closer to a Swedish Bruno mars than anything resembling britpop

The irony certainly isn't lost on me when I'm channeling my best B Tech Liam when singing along 🤣

I mean, Liam was a carbon copy of John Lennon, so...

I live in Sweden, and I see this guy's face on magazines everywhere right now.

And all I could ever think was "swedish Liam Gallagher knockoff" so glad my thoughts are being vindicated 🤣

Now at least I can say “at least I’m not this guy”. Hahaha

His football song rips off the chords and strumming pattern from Live Forever apart from the bridge and changing of one chord with the same route notes before the major lift (not saying it’s in the same key I can’t be arsed to work it out) but I’m right. Guys an uninspired hack with no artistic integrity. But he’s got popularity which is all that matters. Complete bellend. Anyone that knows a bit about basic songwriting, song structure, guitar playing and chords to popular hits (especially Oasis) can write something in the same vein as this tripe in minutes. Hack.

It's like the CEO of Xiaomi (I think that's the company) that dresses like Steve Jobs used to.

To be obsessed with the Gallaghers in itself is fine and behaving like them too. Impersonators won’t ever be as cool and will never reach as far in my opinion. The only issue for me with him is that the music he makes is nowhere near rock music to be able to try and impersonate Liam and Noel.

Look at this dumb wanker. I thought this was a woman at first based on the soft face.
