At the end of the year I see the kitsch-atmosphere sneaking in every door. The sentimental sound in your voice saying ”happy Christmas” thinking of the big, read pulsating heart called Christmas. It’s coming again and again…
Jussi Bjørlings, ”O Helga Natt” sends you directly to your tender feelings, which can only be compared with lovesickness.
