- In “The attraction of Nordic freshness: Melancholy, eroticism and health in ‘Vårvindar friska’”, Gunilla Hermansson traces the reception history of Swedish romantic poet Julia Nyberg’s popular poem “Vårvindar friska” (1828, Fresh spring breezes) from the time of its writing to the present day, through choir adaptations, railway workers’ songs, Hollywood film and YouTube videos. Hermansson suggests that the song’s combination of words and music has provided generations with a variant of “Nordic cool” that resonates with traditional images of Nordic ballads, nature and health, and is combined with erotic desire and melancholy in the notion of “freshness”.
