Work of Love – digital single and video

Posted: October 20th, 2019 | Author: | Filed under: post | Comments Off on Work of Love – digital single and video

As reported in last week’s blog post the song ”Work of Love”  is part of the soundtrack for the new Swedish comedy Tills Frank skiljer oss åt (Until Frank do us part). Now the single is released on your favourite streaming service (Spotify here, iTunes here). And so is the video! Please enjoy!

The video is made by Petter Boström/Boström Photography and features Per Bergqvist (The Virtues) on guitar, Jonas Thorell on bass, and Stefan Brokvist on drums.

As for the music for Tills Frank skiljer oss åt Jimmy Lagnefors has written the whole soundtrack (out on Spotify now!). On ”Work of Love” he invited me to provide lead vocals. I took the song to my heart and tried to add my stamp by writing a dreamy bridge for it in the grand tradition of Beach Boys and Jellyfish (featuring harmony vocal wizard Christian Phillips from Sonic Executive Sessions on backing vocals). Jimmy Lagnefors and I have previously worked together on songs for movies, including “Vänta inte på mig” (Micke & Veronica, 2014) and “Spellbound” (Flykten till Framtiden, 2016).

”Work of Love”– new David Myhr single from the soundtrack to new comedy Tills Frank skiljer oss åt.

Posted: October 12th, 2019 | Author: | Filed under: post | Comments Off on ”Work of Love”– new David Myhr single from the soundtrack to new comedy Tills Frank skiljer oss åt.

My brand new song ”Work of Love”  is part of the soundtrack written by film music composer Jimmy Lagnefors for the new comedy Tills Frank skiljer oss åt (Until Frank do us part) that premieres in Swedish movie theatres on October 18. (The same date will also be the official release date worldwide for the digital single).

Lagnefors has written the whole soundtrack (out on Spotify now!). For the 60s flavoured song ”Work of Love” he invited me to provide lead vocals. I took the song to my heart and tried to add my stamp by writing a dreamy bridge for it in the grand tradition of Beach Boys and Jellyfish (the second best band ever you know…!) . Jimmy and I have previously worked together on songs for movies, including “Vänta inte på mig” (Micke & Veronica, 2014) and “Spellbound” (Flykten till Framtiden, 2016). On the new soundtrack I also sing background vocals on the song Vibrations.

The movie is a comedy written by Peter Magnusson, directed by Leif Lindblom, and starring Liv Mjönes, Peter Magnusson, Erik Johansson. “Work of Love” provides the backdrop to a scene that takes in the ski slopes of winter sports resort Åre. See trailer here)

About the movie: ”Vera’s 40th birthday is approaching and she’s tired of being single. She’s desperately in love with her colleague Frank, but her tired life-coach wants her to lower her standards, lock-on a more resonable guy and get on with her life.”
