On July 14th Basshunter released his new album Now You’re Gone. Basshunter a is a swedish techno dj and some of his songs have the UK’s top 40! Basshunter is one of my favorite artists. Some of his songs are in English while others are in sweden. The two songs featured on this album are:
All I Ever Wanted
Now You’re Gone
My favorite song from basshunter is Boten Anna.
The Swedish lyrics of Boten Anna tell the story of a female IRC user mistaken for an IRC bot by the vocalist who later finds out the truth; subsequently, however, he states that she will always remain a bot in his eyes. The song is based on an actual experience of Jonas Erik Altberg (a.k.a. Basshunter), who explained the situation in an interview with the Finnish website Stara.fi. His friend said he would create a bot with administrative capabilities to keep order in his channel, #BassHunter.se; when this happened Jonas saw a new user with administrative capabilities named Anna enter the channel, and naturally thought this was the bot. Months later, he learned that Anna was actually not a bot, but was his friend’s girlfriend; the embarrassment, he says, inspired him to create the song.
