Det vackraste
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Det vackraste is a ballad in Swedish about love, the title can be translated with The Most Beautiful Thing. The song was originally sung by Swedish pop singer Cecilia Vennersten and finished 2nd in the Melodifestivalen 1995, the Swedish selections for Eurovision Song Contest. The song was awarded with a Grammis for Best Song of 1995.
Det vackraste was written by Nanne Grönvall, Peter Grönvall and Maria Rådsten. They also form the pop group One More Time, and they recorded the song with English lyrics in 1997, called Living In A Dream.
In 1999 Belgian artist Dana Winner recorded another English version of the song. Now it was named I'll Sing A Song Today, and was about nature.
In 2005, ten years after the original performing by Cecilia Vennersten, a cover version of the original lyrics was recorded by Swedish dansband and pop singer Lotta Engberg on her album Kvinna & man.
