Elisabet Hermodsson

Wake Up with a Summer Soul

Elisabet Hermodsson (1927 -2017) was a Swedish writer, singer songwriter and artist. During the 1970s Caprice released two LPs from the song collection “Disa Nilsson’s songs” which also included “Wake up with a summer soul”.

The songs are about “the summer, society, the male and the universe”.

Requested by the public for many years, a CD was finally released in 2000 containing the popular songs about Disa Nilsson, a playful portrait of a woman who is independent both in love and politics. The plot takes place in the fictitious village Krute on island Gotland, among rubble beaches, flowering meadows and limestone coloured roads.

Elisabet Hermodsson made her debut as a poet in 1966, when she published the experimental picture-poem collection Dikt-ting. The breakthrough came with the book Human Landscape Unfairly Distributed in 1968. Today her literary production is considerable and includes collections of poems, essays and, of course, songs.
