At least, his keening tenor seemed more sincere than his patter. He brought a palpable emotionalism to lyrics such as “7 Years,” in which he contemplates growing up and aging like his parents.

However, what he hasn’t learned yet is how to be a pop star. That was apparent Wednesday night at the Myth nightclub in Maplewood. Forchhammer, 27, was friendly, likable and soul-baring until he turned into an ingratiating, chest-baring motormouth who didn’t fully think about the impact of his patter or his lyrics. With the hits “Mama Said,” “You’re Not There” and the thrice Grammy-nominated “7 Years,” Forchhammer has staked his claim by singing about family situations. In song, he praises his mother, grandfather and late father, who was the inspiration for several songs performed Wednesday. Between songs, the singer talked expansively about his 4-month-old daughter and how she has impacted his life and even the meaning of some of the numbers, which were written long before she was born.

Read More »It is an early borrowing from Old Norse “kið” (“young goat”), and its descendants can still be found in modern Scandinavian languages, e.g. “killing” (literally “kid-ling”) in Swedish (also meaning “young goat”). However, the word “kid” itself in Swedish now means “a young deer”.
Tip: See my list of the Most Common Mistakes in English. It will teach you how to avoid mistakes with commas, prepositions, irregular verbs, and much more. The noun “kid” in contemporary English is mostly used to informally refer to a child, e.g. “she’s just a kid” or “only 90s kids will remember”. However, the original meaning (which still exists but is rarely used outside the context of agriculture) is “a young goat”. The meaning was extended to a “child” (from a “young goat”) in the late 16th century slang and became established in the mid 19th century. However, the origin of the word before that is even more interesting. “Kid” is actually not a native English word. It is an early borrowing from Old Norse “kið” (“young goat”), and its descendants can still be found in modern Scandinavian languages, e.g. “killing” (literally “kid-ling”) in Swedish (also meaning “young goat”). However, the word “kid” itself in Swedish now means “a young deer”. Finally, the English verb “kid” is probably derived from the noun via the meaning “to treat as a child”.
