Following the enthusiastic reception of “Och med vinden ack de gunga” – Ludvig’s re-envisioning of his droning masterpiece “Jag vet ett tempel stå“ – comes “Alster”. Six Forndom compositions in brand new interpretations alongside a fresh take on an old song. “Aska” was originally featured on a physical edition released in 50 copies back in 2015 and has never been published online.

Ludvig Swärd commented:
“Aska“ was written shortly after I finished recording “Flykt“, with death and burial as its primary inspiration. The feeling of losing someone close, saying goodbye for an extended period – until the time you meet again. The song relies heavily on memories, a backwards glance at a life lived while the reality of grief and loss becomes prominent.
Despite several attempts, no lyrics have been finalised for the song. However, the deepest grief is often wordless, as also mentioned by the 10th-century Icelandic skald Egil Skallagrimsson in his poem Sonatorrek.
”I can hardly move
My tounge
Or lift up the
steelyard of song;
Now there is little hope
of Viðurs theft
Not humbly
Does it move from the hiding place of the mind.”
