Just before his death, Ulf Dageby made a last recording of one of Nationalteatern's Rock Orchestra's most beloved songs. Now "But Only If My Beloved Waits" is being released for the first time with his vocals.

The song, a Swedish interpretation of Bob Dylan's "Tomorrow is a Long Time", was sung on the Nationalteatern album "Barn av vår tid" by Totta Näslund. But Dageby sang it many times on stage with the band – often with the final words "To Ankie", his wife.

"Over the years, I got many questions from acquaintances about why there is no recording of him singing the song, tells Ankie Sjögren Dageby in a press release.

She persuaded her husband to record the song, which happened only four weeks before Ulf Dageby passed away.

The single is released on May 2. Shortly thereafter, Nationalteatern's Rock Orchestra performs three commemorative performances in memory of Dageby, the first in Stockholm, then in Gothenburg on May 10, and in Lund on May 16.
