Yes, it's Swedish. If I'm not wrong, the title means "Someone Like You".

It's my favourite too! If not this, then The Rasmus - but I think I'm giving them nostalgia points because I used to listen to them 15 years ago or so.

I have the same nostalgia about The Rasmus, but I really hope they don't end up being the representatives. I don't like established artists competing in ESC, it goes against the spirit of the show I feel.

Me neither, to be honest. I prefer it to be a competition of who's got the best song*, not who's got the most famous band/singer. Besides, it's always nice to have a chance of discovering something new to listen to even if I tend to forget most of the songs before the next year.

*Well, you know what I mean.

I replied to the wrong post. I mean "Nån Som Dig". I didn't even read the other posts yet.

A song by Welsh artist Kelly Lee Owens (electronic/pop) in English and featuring Welsh lyrics by a guy called John Cale, who was in the Velvet Underground.

I just found out there is a full video for it as well; I haven't watched it yet but it seems to be about bearded guys trying to make toast, picturesque shots of the Welsh countryside, and her walking on a beach.

LOL. That bearded guy is Michael Sheen, a famous Welsh actor from Port Talbot in the south of Wales.

I came across this* again in a video compilation and that inspired me to look up this song that I used to listen to in college:
