"Stormvarning" was the sixth album from Swedish singer/songwriter Ted Gärdestad, an expanded and partly re-recorded version of the international album "I'd Rather Write a Symphony", released on the Polar Music label in Sweden in early 1981.
The album includes a solo version of his 1980 Melodifestivalen entry "Låt Solen Värma Dig", originally a duet with Rock De Luxe vocalist Annica Boller, as well as the track that was to be Ted's final hit single of the eighties, "Låt Kärleken Slå Rot", produced by Benny Andersson and featuring Anni-Frid Lyngstad on vocals.
