Ulrik Munther

"Yes, it’s an odd feeling to sit with your guitar, the piano or the drums in my room and suddenly think that this will be released all over the world. It’s a bit strange as I’ve done this all my life.."

It was one of those boring afternoons when I went to YouTube and looked for new videos. I was actually searching for a song called Boys Don't Cry. At that time, I didn't know who sang it. (Now I know it was Plumb). Anyway, the first four videos were from The Cure and the fifth was from Ulrik. Thinking that it was a cover of the song I was looking for, I opened the link. I was wrong. But I was glad I opened it.

Wow.

That was the first word that came out from my mouth when I heard the song. It was so amazing that I didn't think twice in adding it to my favorites, subscribing to his channel and downloading the song.

Go check this out and you'll see what I mean.



Oh, and by the way, here's what I learned from Google. Ulrik started to write songs when he was 13 years old. When he was fifteen, he won the Melody Grand Prix Nordic with his own song An Ordinary Day. The year after, he came in second in Metro Music Challenge with his own composition Life.

The Beauty of a Woman

A little boy asked his mother, "Why are you crying?"

"Because I'm a woman," she told him.

"I don't understand," he said. His mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will."

Later, the little boy asked his father, "Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?"

"All women cry for no reason" was all his dad could say.

The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry. Finally he put in a call to God. When God got on the phone, he asked, "God, why do women cry so easily?"

God said, "When I made the woman, she had to be special. I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet gentle enough to give comfort. I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children. I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining. I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly. I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart. I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly. And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed."

"You see my son," said God, "the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart - the place where love resides."
