“A red silk dress with white birds on” even, but that didn’t fit in the subject line…
Yeah, that’s Thomas DiLeva for you, a Swedish singer. He’s a phenomenon, and I’ll do my best to explain how it was to see him in a concert held in Dalhalla, an old chalk mine rebuilt into an open air arena.
One can’t claim that he’s got that a good singing voice, and his texts are as good as impossible to follow. You have to see him to get him, I say.
But he’s so cute, like a puppy. And well… it’s not everyday a national celebrity stands on a scene telling the audience that “You can’t fool me… you look like humans, but I know that you’re all gods and goddesses. Just disguised.” And he’s able to make it sound sincere too. 
Then he presented his band as people from other galaxies.
“And me and my friends here never talk. We did that when we were fourteen and played football. Now we don’t need to talk anymore, we can be silent…” (it takes a lot to keep 3000 people silent I tell you, but right then we in the audience actually were) “… in silence. And that’s…” still silence “… that’s when we better start talking again, or else our wings will grow and we’ll disappear into the sky.”
He also kept drinking from a white watering can. In the end he held it up, after not saying anything about it for the whole concert, and said:
“Look. Soon this will be as famous as I am.”
Then there was the time when somebody in the audience shouted “Come on!” upon which DiLeva commented:
“Come on? I’m already here, ain’t I? I come all the time… I don’t do anything else.”
Rrright ^^;;
To conclude the concert, he said:
“And now I’ll sing a song that hasn’t been released yet. You know, when you give birth to a song, you don’t want to let it go into the world until you know that it’s strong enough. Just like a mother and child. But… you all look so nice and cuddly, so I’ll let you be the nannys of this song. It’s called “Rainbow”, and we’re all different because… the rainbow is beautiful.”
Oh, and for the tentacle thing, it went like this:
“If we’re silent, our souls will reach out their tentacles through the universe, for every other sister and brother out there…”
Apart from DiLeva, there was also a laser show. Now I know how it feels to look up and see a net of light above your head chuckles
I think I’ll pass on that.
