A Thousand Candles/Tusen Juleljus is the most sung Christmas song in Sweden. Music and lyrics written in 1898 by Emmy Köhler. The first recording of it was made 1944. Since then, there has been many, many recordings made by Swedish artists, among them Agnetha Fältskog from ABBA.
My arrangement of the song is not traditional, I have made a slow rock ballad of it - guess the musical purists won't like it, but I wanted to have some fun...
A traditional, beautiful version of the song is played by my YT friend Mats Celind, here is a link to his recording: youtube.com/watch?v=E1uOOLE_E5w
My backing track: youtube.com/watch?v=Jrpo1NvPdJI
