Louise Hoffsten is a Swedish rock singer, well-known in her home country,
but I have to admit I'd never heard of her prior to her recorded version
of "Opium För Dig" (a Swedish translation of the song "You're A Mystery To Me").
A quick web search produced the following bio: Louise comes from Linköping, but now lives in Stockholm. Her dad Gunnar Hoffsten plays trumpet in a jazz band and also works in a record shop called Skiv-City in downtown Linköping. Her brother is an artist and also lives in Linköping. Besides having produced several albums, Louise is a first-class on-stage entertainer. She writes her own lyrics and music, sings, and plays the harmonica. In 1997, Louise acknowledge that she is suffering from the degenerative disease Multiple Sclerosis. Despite this however, she made an unexpected comeback in the fall of 1998 as a "Children's Radio" story-teller. In 2004 Louise was appointed an "honorary doctor" by the university of Linköping for her extraordinary musical contributions and for publicly sharing her personal experience with MS - (thanks to Andreas Ekstrom for the update). |

Lyrics: | Hon ar ett
opium for dig Ja, ett opium for dig Kan du inte se Hon ar ett opium for dig Jag kan se att nagonting har skett Har du totalt tappat bort allt vett? Du ar langt borta i en annan varld Man kan tro att du haller pa att byta atmosfar Hon ar ett opium for dig Ja, ett opium for dig Kan du inte se Hon ar ett opium for dig En kick for stunden av en injektion Har gjort att du inte tar reson Forut sa talfor men nu ar du stum Ar det sa att hon trollar bort orden med sin mun? Hon ar ett opium for dig Ja, ett opium for dig Kan du inte se Hon ar ett opium for dig Vill du saga till nar du har trottnat Det kanske finns en chans att jag finns kvar En kick for stunden har hon gett till dig Och jag vet att du inte fatt den utav mig |
