The Top 100 Songs You've (Probably) Never Heard – 2009

Snälla, Snälla

Why is this number one, you ask; simply because it is the most sincere song of the year. “Snälla, snälla” (Please, Please) portrays the heart-wrenching scene of a woman begging her lover to stay because she knows that when he steps out that door, he’s stepping into the arms of another. The song beautifully captures the anger, frustration, desperation, and shame felt by the protagonist and frames it within the context of a 1960s ballad.
