Janne Danielsson/SVT

Kiana – “Where Did You Go”
Text & music: Jimmy “Joker” Thörnfeldt, Joy Deb, Linnea Deb

So many times I asked myself

I need to know

Where did you go?


I felt so left out in the rain

Come numb the pain

Where did you go?


I wanna know

Everyday time I get lost in emotions

I wish I could turn back time

In my dreams I imagine that you’re still mine


Under the stars

That’s where I found you

(I found you)

Under the stars

That’s where I found you

(I found you)


(I wanna know)

Where did you go

Where did you go

Where did you go

Where did you go?

(I wanna know)


Under the stars

That’s where I found you

Where did you go

Where did you go

Where did you go

Where did you go?

Oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh


Where did you go

Where did you go

Where did you go

Where did you go?

Oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh


A drive by the ocean

With The Weeknd playin’ on the radio

Where did you go?


You and me were chasing dreams

Oh boy you had me at hello

So where did you go?


In my dreams I imagine that you’re still mine


Under the stars

That’s where I found you

(I found you)

Under the stars

That’s where I found you

(I found you)


I wanna know

(I wanna know)

Where did you go,

Where did you go,

Where did you go,

Where did you go?

Oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh


Where did you go,

Where did you go,

Where did you go,

Where did you go?

I wanna know


Under the stars

(Where did you go, where did you go, where did you go, where did you go?)

That’s where I found you

(Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh)

Under the stars

(Where did you go, where did you go, where did you go, where did you go?)

That’s where I found you

(Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh)


Where did you go

Where did you go

Where did you go?

Song 2

Janne Danielsson/SVT

Signe & Hjördis – “Edelweiss”
Text & music: Anderz Wrethov, Jimmy Jansson, Myra Granberg 

När regnet öser ovanför

Så tänker jag på dig

Hur något vissnat inom dig

Hur du inte hittat hem


För jag vet, och jag ser

Jag har alltid sett

När du ler

Finns det mer

Inuti


Men när vinden dansar över ängarna

Så talar träden om hjältemod

Hör grönskan spela över strängarna

Låt dom sjunga om vår edelweiss


Och när hoppet ekar över vidderna

Ska blomster växa ur våra sår

Vi skålar för dom gamla minnena

Och sjunger om vår edelweiss


Ett litet frö där inom dig

Som aldrig fick slå rot

Men tårarna ska rädda det

Att växa och bli stort


För jag vet, och jag ser

Jag har alltid sett det

När du ler

Finns det mer

Inuti

Men när vinden dansar över ängarna

Så talar träden om hjältemod

Hör grönskan spela över strängarna

Låt dom sjunga om vår edelweiss


Och när hoppet ekar över vidderna

Ska blomster växa ur våra sår

Vi skålar för dom gamla minnena

Och sjunger om vår edelweiss


Säg mig om du inte längre tror

Det är i mörkret som det finaste får gro


Men när vinden dansar över ängarna

Så talar träden om hjältemod

Hör grönskan spela över strängarna

Låt dom sjunga om vår edelweiss


Och när hoppet ekar över vidderna

Ska blomster växa ur våra sår

Vi skålar för dom gamla minnena

Och sjunger om vår edelweiss


Och sjunger om vår edelweiss

Song 3

Janne Danielsson/SVT

Smash Into Pieces – “Six Feet Under”
Text & music: Andreas ”Giri” Lindbergh, Benjamin Jennebo, Chris Adam, Jimmy “Joker” Thörnfeldt, Joy Deb, Linnea Deb, Per Bergquist

I’m six feet under

Like I’m buried alive

We’re so game over

But we keep holding the line


You fight me and I fight back

And when you come back

We get up and we do it again

I’m turning to a shadow

I can’t let go

Though it’s wrong

I don’t want it to end


Better safe than sorry

Better safe than sorry

Felt so right now what are we?

So turn it up, turn it up, turn it up


We’re on the edge

We’re miles apart

And I’m six feet under

Diggin’ down my heart


We’re on the edge

We keep falling down

’Til I’m six feet under

Diggin’ down my heart


’Til I’m six feet under

’Til I’m six feet under

’Til I’m six feet under


We’re in a maze now

Playing arcade and I’m lost

Counting our days now

I’m in a straight jacket

No matter the cost

You fight me and I fight back

And when you come back

We get up and we do it again

I’m turning to a shadow

I can’t let go

Though it’s wrong

I don’t want it to end


Better safe than sorry

Better safe than sorry

Felt so right, now what are we?

So turn it up, turn it up, turn it up

We’re on the edge

We’re miles apart

And I’m six feet under

Diggin’ down my heart


We’re on the edge

We keep falling down

’Til I’m six feet under

Diggin’ down my heart


’Til I’m six feet under

’Til I’m six feet under


We’re on the edge

We’re miles apart

And I’m six feet under


We’re on the edge

We’re miles apart

And I’m six feet under

Diggin’ down my heart


We’re on the edge

We keep falling down

(Keep falling down)

’Til I’m six feet under

Diggin’ down my heart


’Til I’m six feet under

’Til I’m six feet under

’Til I’m six feet under

Song 4

Janne Danielsson/SVT

Mariette – “One Day”
Text & music: Jimmy Jansson, Thomas G:son, Mariette 

I know that sometimes I’ve been lost

But never try to hold me down

I’m never givin’ up

(Ain’t givin’ up)


There’ll come a day that’s made for us

I promise we’ll be standing there

As the winners of our time


One day we’ll ride out the storm

We’re sailing with tomorrow in our hands

And one day we’ll find our way home


Another time, another place

Somewhere there’s a promised land

That’s waiting just for us

(Just for us)


Leave all your worries and regrets

And forget about yesterday

We’re heading for the skies


If we get caught

For who we are

I take the fall


One day we’ll ride out the storm

We’re sailing with tomorrow in our hands

And one day we’ll find our way home

We’ll take the chance

The power is our own

What do you say

(What do you say)

So what do you say

(So what do you say)

We can be kings and queens

Our dreams will be our throne

Cos one day we’ll find our way home

We’ll take the chance

The power is our own


We can make it

We can make it

We can make it

We can make it


One day we’ll ride out the storm

We’re sailing with tomorrow in our hands

Ooh, one day we’ll find our way home

We’ll take the chance

The power is our own


What do you say

(What do you say)

So what do you say

(So what do you say)

We can be kings and queens

Our dreams will be our throne


What do you say

(What do you say)

So what do you say

(So what do you say)

We can be anything we wanna be

You know


Cos one day we’ll find our way home

We’ll take the chance

The power is our own


I know that sometimes I’ve been lost

But never try to hold me down

I’m never givin’ up

Song 5

Janne Danielsson/SVT

Emil Henrohn – “Mera Mera Mera”
Text & music: Emil Henrohn, Jakob Redtzer, Ji Nilsson, Marlene Strand  

Jag är som månens ljus i natten, stjärnor som glittrar

Och mina andetag får luften här att vibrera


Jag är fylld av en lust och längtan

Större än en hel ocean

Glöm att jag sitter här och väntar

Jag har inget tålamod kvar


Jag vill ha mer av allt

Jag vill inte gå hem

Vill inte sova nu

Jag kan göra det sen

Jag vill ha pink champagne

Fyll upp glaset igen

Så ge mig

Mera mera mera

Mera mera mera


Come give me more

Och ge mig lite till

Glöm bort igår

Betyder ingenting

Vill bara dansa

Natten lång till ”Gimme Gimme”

Mera mera mera

Mera mera mera


Vi skapar nya minnen som vi aldrig ska glömma

Jag vill att världen ska se ut som i mina drömmar


Jag är fylld av en lust och längtan

Större än en hel ocean

Glöm att jag sitter här och väntar

Jag har inget tålamod kvar

Jag vill ha mer av allt

Jag vill inte gå hem

Vill inte sova nu

Jag kan göra det sen

Jag vill ha pink champagne

Fyll upp glaset igen

Så ge mig

Mera mera mera

Mera mera mera


Come give me more

Och ge mig lite till

Glöm bort igår

Betyder ingenting

Vill bara dansa

Natten lång till ”Gimme Gimme”

Mera mera mera

Mera mera mera


Jag är fylld av en lust och längtan

Glöm att jag sitter här och väntar

Jag har inget tålamod kvar


Jag vill ha mer av allt

Jag vill inte gå hem

Vill inte sova nu

Jag kan göra det sen

Jag vill ha pink champagne

Fyll upp glaset igen

Så ge mig

Mera mera mera

Mera mera mera


Come give me more

Och ge mig lite till

Glöm bort igår

Betyder ingenting

Vill bara dansa

Natten lång till ”Gimme Gimme”

Mera mera mera

Mera mera mera


Så ge mig

Mera mera mera

Song 6

Janne Danielsson/SVT

Axel Schylström – “Gorgeous”
Text & music: Axel Schylström, Herman Gardarfve, Jonas Thander, Malin Halvardsson

I don’t know what’s going on inside your mind

Is there something I can say

Something just to lead the way

For you


Why, why you keep on beating on yourself

Is there something I can do

Something more than being there

For you


You tell me that the voice inside your head

Is killing you

I’m losing count of all the times you said

I’m not enough


But don’t you dare talk to yourself like that

You’re gorgeous

So gorgeous

Don’t you dare talk to yourself like that

You’re gorgeous

So gorgeous


Come, hide away with me just for a while

We can laugh til’ we forget

We can smile until we get

Through this


Oh, you tell me that the voice inside your head

Is killing you

Oh, I’m losing count of all the times you said

I’m not enough



But don’t you dare talk to yourself like that

You’re gorgeous

So gorgeous

No, don’t you dare talk to yourself like that

You’re gorgeous

So gorgeous


Come, hide away with me just for a while

Oh, you tell me that the voice inside your head

Is killing you

(Is killing you)

Oh, I’m losing count of all the times you said

I’m not enough

(I’m not enough)


Don’t you dare talk to yourself like that

You’re gorgeous

So gorgeous

No, don’t you dare talk to yourself like that

You’re gorgeous

So gorgeous


You’re gorgeous

So gorgeous

Don’t you dare talk to yourself like that

You’re gorgeous

So gorgeous

Janne Danielsson/SVT

Loreen – “Tattoo”
Text & music: Jimmy “Joker” Thörnfeldt, Jimmy Jansson, Loreen, Moa ”Cazzi Opeia” Carlebecker, Peter Boström, Thomas G:son  

I don’t wanna go

But baby we both know

This is not our time

It’s time to say goodbye


Until we meet again

Cus this is not the end

It will come a day

When we will find our way


Violins playing and the angels crying

When the stars align then I’ll be there


No I don’t care about them all

Cus all I want is to be loved

And all I care about is you

You stuck on me like a tattoo


No I don’t care about the pain

I’ll walk through fire and through rain

Just to get closer to you

You stuck on me like a tattoo


I’m letting my hair down

I’m taking it cool

You got my heart in your hand

Don’t lose it my friend

It’s all that I got


Violins playing and the angels crying

When the stars align then I’ll be there


No I don’t care about them all

Cus all I want is to be loved

And all I care about is you

You stuck on me like a tattoo


No I don’t care about the pain

I’ll walk through fire and through rain

Just to get closer to you

You stuck on me like a tattoo


Oh I don’t care about them all

Cus all I want is to be loved

And all I care about is you

You stuck on me like a tattoo


I don’t care about the pain

I’ll walk through fire and through rain

Just to get closer to you

You stuck on me like a tattoo


All I care about is love

Oh oh oh

All I care about is love


You stuck on me like a tattoo
