"Langebro" is the first track on Danish rock band Gasolin's 1971 first album, Gasolin'. The lyrics were written by Mogens Mogensen and the melody is borrowed from the English folk song "Geordie" with very slight alterations. "Langebro", named for a bridge of the same name in Copenhagen, is one of Gasolin's most popular songs.in The lyrics give an insight to the darker side of society in Copenhagen. Gasolin' was concerned about the poor and helpless and this was often reflected in their lyrics.
Themes
The lyrics are in the first-person perspective, of observations seen on a walk through Copenhagen on an early Monday morning. The theme is clearly depressing, with the protagonist observing a number of things, first passing Langebro seeing someone crying. He then passes the "gates of demons" at Kofoed Skole (an institution in Copenhagen established in 1928 for socially disadvantaged people) where drunks stand around "drinking themselves to death". He then meets a Jehovah's Witness who's predicting that the world ends today and finally, a woman chasing after her husband, yelling that he stole her life.
A song is a single (and often standalone) work of music intended to be sung by the human voice with distinct and fixed pitches and patterns using sound and silence and a variety of forms that often include the repetition of sections. Written words created specifically for music or for which music is specifically created, are called lyrics. If a pre-existing poem is set to composed music in classical music it is an art song. Songs that are sung on repeated pitches without distinct contours and patterns that rise and fall are called chants. Songs in a simple style that are learned informally are often referred to as folk songs. Songs that are composed for professional singers are called popular songs. These songs, which have broad appeal, are often composed by professional songwriters, composers and lyricists. Art songs are composed by trained classical composers for concert performances. Songs are performed live and recorded. Songs may also appear in plays, musical theatre, stage shows of any form, and within operas.

U2 tribute to Kim Larsen/Gasolin - This Is My Life
Recording of Bono reciting the lyrics from "This Is My Life" at U2's concert in Copenhagen on 30 September 2018. To all those not knowing this song it probably doesn't mean a thing, but to most Danes it means the world.
"This Is My Life" was originally made by the Danish band Gasolin' who was active 1969-1978. Their lead singer, Kim Larsen, had an amazing solo career after this and he is the soundtrack of many Danish people's childhood and life. The last three generations alive today have all been listening to Kim Larsen's songs.
Kim Larsen sadly passed away in the morning of 30 September 2018 after suffering from cancer. As late as August this year he was still playing concerts but he was - apparently - not as strong anymore as most people thought, or at least hoped.
Thanks for everyth...

Thanks for everything, Kim! You were surely the soundtrack of my childhood too! Your songs and your spirit will go on forever!
