Det vackraste
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Det vackraste (The Most Beautiful Thing) is a Swedish love song. It 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.
The song was released as a single, and stayed 47 weeks at the Swedish singles chart total, 7 of them at the first place.
The song stayed at Svensktoppen for 26 weeks during the period 29 April-21 October 1995, with 3rd place as best result there.
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.
