The Girl and the Crow (in Swedish: Flickan och kråkan) is a song composed by Mikael Wiehe, originally published on his album "Kråksånger" in 1981.
Wiehe wrote the text inspired by an image by the Swedish cartoonist Oscar Cleve: Little girl rushes to vet with wounded crow".[1][2]
Several covers have been made including versions by Dia Psalma (1994), Strömkarlen (2009), and Timbuktu (2012).[3] According to Wiehe, Anni-Frid Lyngstad from ABBA wanted to release a cover in the beginning of the 1980s to one of her albums, but he declined, one of the major reasons being that she earlier had appeared in a campaign "Prioritise yourself". It was included in Sofia Karlsson's successful 2007 studio album Visor från vinden, which also featured songs by the poets Charles Baudelaire, Inger Hagerup and Dan Andersson.[4]
