OK. I know, who the heck is that??? He was an unique kind of singer/songwriter in Sweden. What was so special about him was of his songs made the words mean new things in a funny way. He reshaped the words to mean something completely different and yet everybody understood without having to be told which made him a very loved artist. This gift in handling the language is very rare. I know of only three in swedish history that has had that ability including him. He died after a long struggle with Parkinson. One of his songs, Båtlåt, is about boats and their lovelife or interpreted in another way about boats lying for anchor in a marina. The words could mean both.
Robert Broberg has died.

May he be at peace. Thank you for sharing information about him.
I'm sorry for you and his fans.i am going to do some listening and see if I can hear what you loved about him.
It was his way with words. His way of using words in a imaginitive way. When he was at his best, that is. Like all wordartists he had his deep failures too. These kind of writers always walk a line. It is not so much the song or the music as the lyric and the humour in it.
