Wonderful country

— C418 on bandcamp.com

"Sweden" is by far the most popular song, and I think it's because of it's [sic] very minimalistic chord progression that you can follow very easily. It is also based on the principle the song "Minecraft" is built on. Slow buildup, slowly fading away.

"Sweden" is a song composed by C418 that plays in the Overworld and when the player is in Creative mode in Java Edition.

Track description

Previews of tracks in Minecraft have been shortened to 30 seconds on this wiki in accordance with fair use rationale. "11" and "Magnetic Circuit" are exempt from this.

"Sweden" is a Passacaglia, with a changing melody over a repeated bass line. It is a calm track with soft, somber piano chords that loop that are later joined by strings, which somewhat abruptly stop after a while, leaving the piano alone. After a brief pause, pizzicato strings quietly play the melody before the piano comes back and finishes the song with a glockenspiel and harp accompaniment.
