Sigrid Reminds Me Of How I’m An Old

I’ve long said that singers from Scandinavia have a lot of soul. And, in fact, that’s probably one of the lone parts of the world where rock n roll remains pop music in the traditional sense.

I come to grow fond of the Scandinavian singer Sigrid. Her music is in the sweet spot of pop-rock that I really like. And, yet, something about how young she is gives me pause for thought.

She’s only 26! (Oh, to be 26 again. Sigh.)

Now that I’m 50, I find myself feeling uneasy even listening to the music of someone so young.

I suppose some of it Sigrid represents youth culture and, alas, I ain’t young anymore. But what am I going to do about it? Age is immutable. I can’t change how old I am.

Anyway. Being old sucks.

Have We Actually Seen Sigrid And Sanna Marin In The Same Room?

I’m not one to believe in conspiracies, but damn if Norwegian singer Sigrid doesn’t look identical to Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin. It’s spooky how much the two women look alike.

The fact that they’re both really hot is the cherry on top.

Sanna Marin
Sigrid

Probably what I’m seeing is a dominate Nordic phenotype. But damn if those two women don’t look a lot alike.
