Om himlen och Österlen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Om himlen och Österlen is a popular song composed by Scanian singer-songwriter Michael Saxell from Ystad in 1991. The lyrics are largely autobiographical; the story of a man who moved to North America from the Österlen region in southeastern Scania at a young age and returned back to his homeland later in life.
Michael Saxell wrote the song in the early 1990s and it has since been recorded by many Swedish artists including Lill Lindfors, Jan Malmsjö, Östen Warnerbring, Danne Stråhed, Lasse Stefanz, Wizex as well as by the composer himself.
The song has been described as the new Scanian anthem by Swedish music journalist Christer Olsson.
