I work from both https://www.facebook.com/bosse.pettersson.3 and https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063665256031 where I’m also representing “Ebba po skånska” as stated on the aboutpage.
This is me – BosseBus (Or “Bosse Bus” at the Facebook-page)
My name is Bosse Pettersson, but most people know me as BosseBus. I’m a troubadour and songwriter rooted in the alternative and punk scenes. One of my most personal songs is Ballad om en gatumusikant, a tribute to a close relative who spent much of his life as a street musician. While I sometimes describe myself as a security consultant and bodyguard on Facebook, it’s really through music that I tell my stories.
I’m also one of the founding members of Ebba på Skånska, a punk project based in Malmö. We reinterpret the songs of Ebba Grön in the Scanian dialect – four salty guys from Malmö playing live for those who still carry the punk spirit. You’ll find us active on both Facebook and YouTube.

Ballad om en gatumusikant
I wrote Ballad om en gatumusikant in my late teens. It was inspired by a family member who lived much of his life on the streets, playing guitar in public spaces. He didn’t have much – just his instrument and the clothes on his back – but somehow he still found joy in the small things.
This song was my way of trying to understand addiction, homelessness, and dignity, from a young and hopeful perspective. Some of the lyrics imagine a recovery that sadly never came – but the emotions behind them are still real.
The latest version has been reimagined and produced by Thomas Tornevall (a.k.a. The Houseifyer), who brought out the soul of the original in a stripped-down, respectful production. It’s not just about one man’s life – it’s about everyone who’s ever been overlooked, unheard, or left behind.
