Norwegian Christmas song.
He has had the song in a drawer for a long time, but it was missing something. Maybe one verse and one
bridge he thought. So then it just stayed there.
Jon Dahl-Johansen from Fredrikstad always thought he wanted to make a Christmas song, but it was
something more than the text on the sheet in the drawer that was needed for it to be good.
When his father passed away after a long illness with cancer earlier this summer, a lot of time passed to think, and the pieces that were missing in the text began to fall into place.
- I remembered when I was a child, my father always stopped at the pot for the Salvation Army and gave one small contribution right around Christmas time when they were in town. A small symbolic sum, but an example to
follow. And not least, values to take with you further in life. He probably wasn't the one who was the most present in relation to us children, but he taught me that it is also permissible to share with others and a lot about what he saw as right and wrong, says Jon. - So I hope and believe that at least I have brought some of this with me.
