On Saturday, Peter appeared on the TV4 program Nyhetsmorgon and performed two songs – the single “Jag har dig nu” (but sans Izabella) and “Häromdan när jag var ung” (better known as “Yesterday When I Was Young” or “Hier Encore”, the Charles Aznavour standard).
Scandipop have given Peter another excellent write up and have links to both performances.

Peter appeared on “Allsång på Skansen” last night and debuted a song from his upcoming album. The album is a collection of French songs translated into Swedish.
The song is called “Precis som vanligt” (literal translation = “As Usual”) and is the Swedish version of “Comme d’habitude”, better known to most of the world as “My Way” made famous by Frank Sinatra.
The Swedish lyrics were written by Andreas Mattsson and the song was arranged by Hans Ek.
Here is a clip of the song.

“Det blir bättre” is the title of a new Swedish TV series screening on Sunday nights on TV3. The title translates to “It gets better” and has been inspired by the campaign to combat the bullying and abuse of LGBT children after a series of gay teen suicides in the USA.
Each episode of this series focuses on a Swedish celebrity where they talk about their difficult upbringing and how things did indeed get better for them.
The theme song for the series is Peter’s “Räddaren i nöden” and Peter himself will be the subject of the episode to be broadcast on 22 May 2011.

If you missed the radio broadcast not to fear. The program has been archived. Just go to the following link:
On the right hand side of the page, down a bit, you will see a box headed “Lyssna igen”. Choose 2011-03-28 08:00-09:00 and then fast forward to the 26:55 mark. This is the start of the new single “Räddaren i nöden”.
If the link is not there then click on “Klicka här för fler klipp”. When the new window opens, click on the Lyssna Igen tab and select 08.00 2011-03-28.
It seems that the archived shows only stay up for about 4 days so be quick.
