Benedikt - Free Saturday (“FL&R”)


     Finding songs that can be legally downloaded is easy. The difficult task is to find legally downloadable music that we recommend. Our plan is to post at least one Free, Legal and Recommended (FL&R) song each Saturday.


     The bio drama film “The Two Popes” is interesting and enlightening. It shines a light on the contrast of Pope Benedict XVI and the now-reigning Pope Francis. We don’t know if the film motivated Benedikt to release “Pope Francis.” We only know that the song by the band from Oslo, Norway is pleasing.

     Benedikt is a nine-member band, which explains how “Pope Francis” is both calming and highly textured. The members are Hans Olav Settem (vocals, guitar), Stein Boge ( guitar, trumpet, Brage Kristian Einum (synth, accordion), Oddbjørn Sponås (percussion), Sunniva Lilian Shaw-of-Tordarroch (cello), Marit Othilie Thorvik (vocals), Emilie Catrin Korsvold (vocals, trombone), Sindre Skår (bass), and Simen Mitlid (banjo, guitar). Yes, that Simen Mitlid.
