Song 1
Greczula – “Believe Me”
Text & music: Kristofer Greczula, Amanda Nordelius, John Russell
There was a boy
Caught in a dream
Sailing on Saturn’s rings
(Aaaah aaaah)
Open your eyes
Look at the stars, looking so lonely
It’s lonely at the top
But it’s beautiful from far away
From far away
You best believe me
(Best believe me)
You never know a good thing until it’s gone
It’s so easy
(It’s so easy)
You could have been here dancing all along
(Could have been here dancing all along)
Some people stay
Some people won’t
So love them before they go
Open your eyes
Open your heart, you know it gets lonely
It’s lonely on this rock
But there’s beauty all around this place
In every face
You best believe me
(Best believe me)
You never know a good thing until it’s gone
(Never know, never know)
It’s so easy
(It’s so easy)
You could have been here dancing all along
Yeah
Best believe me
It’s so easy
Best believe me
It’s so easy
It’s so easy
You best believe me
(Best believe me)
You never know a good thing until it’s gone
(Never know, never know)
It’s so easy
(It’s so easy)
You could have been here dancing all along
(Could have been here dancing all along)
You never know a good thing until it’s gone
You could have been here dancing all along
Song 2
Malou Prytz – “24K Gold”
Text & music: Julie “Kill J” Aagaard, Malou Prytz, Jimmy “Joker” Thörnfeldt, Anders Wrethov
It’s what I’m made of
But I was afraid of
My inner brightness
I could be priceless
Good girls don’t speak up
March to the beat of
Somebody else’s
Drum and I felt it
Was trying to be somebody
That wasn’t me, you know
I had to leave the party
To meet myself and now I know
I got that afterglow
It’s like I’m made of gold
Don’t need no daylight
Or midnight
Cause I’m 24 carat gold
I feel so art nouveau
High tea in Tokyo
Don’t need no daylight
Or midnight
Cause I’m 24 carat gold
I got that afterglow
It’s like I’m made of gold
Don’t need no daylight
Or midnight
Cause I’m 24 carat gold
I feel so art nouveau
High tea in Tokyo
Don’t need no daylight
Or midnight
Cause I’m 24 carat gold
I’m feeling frosty
Like I’m so costly
Girl in the mirror
I see you clearer
Was trying to be somebody
That wasn’t me, you know
I had to leave the party
To meet myself and now I know
I got that afterglow
It’s like I’m made of gold
Don’t need no daylight
Or midnight
Cause I’m 24 carat gold
I feel so art nouveau
High tea in Tokyo
Don’t need no daylight
Or midnight
Cause I’m 24 carat gold
Let me show you
I was born to
Lose control
Maybe now
You’ll see that
I am made of gold
I got that afterglow
It’s like I’m made of gold
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
I got that afterglow
It’s like I’m made of gold
Don’t need no daylight
Or midnight
Cause I’m 24 carat gold
I feel so art nouveau
High tea in Tokyo
Don’t need no daylight
Or midnight
Cause I’m 24 carat gold
Song 3
Björn Holmgren – “Rädda Mig“
Text & music: Björn Holmgren, Jens Hult, David Lindgren Zacharias
Du har räddat mig minst hundra gånger
Visat vägen när jag varit svag
Jag växte upp först när jag kände sorgen
Du var där, alltid där, kom tillbaks
Nu vill jag rädda dig
Jag ska vara dina ögon när du inte längre ser
Bära dig i famnen när du inte springer mer
Torka dina tårar, fånga när de faller ner
Jag ska va ditt hjärta, när du inte känner det
För du har räddat mig
Räddat, räddat mig
Du har räddat, räddat mig
Marken under mig får gärna rasa
Molnen kan bli mörka för ett tag
För jag vill bara att du ska få vakna
Att du är här, alltid här, stanna kvar
Jag vill rädda dig
Jag ska vara dina ögon när du inte längre ser
Bära dig i famnen när du inte springer mer
Torka dina tårar, fånga när de faller ner
Jag ska va ditt hjärta, när du inte känner det
För du har räddat mig
Utan att försöka
Utan att förstå
Ja du har räddat mig
Jag ska vara dina ögon när du inte längre ser
Bära dig i famnen
Jag ska vara dina ögon när du inte längre ser
Bära dig i famnen när du inte springer mer
Torka dina tårar, fånga när de faller ner
Jag ska va ditt hjärta, när du inte känner det
För du har räddat mig
Räddat, räddat mig
Du har räddat, räddat mig
Räddat, räddat mig
Jag ska vara dina ögon
Du har räddat, räddat mig
Jag ska bära dig i famnen
För du har räddat, räddat mig

Song 5
Angelino – “Teardrops“
Text & music: Tusse Chiza, Joy Deb, Linnea Deb, Jimmy “Joker” Thörnfeldt
There you go
Spreading lies down on me
I don’t mind
You do you and I do me
You walked out through the door
Without a warning
Told me, babe I’ll be back in the morning
Like you’ve done
A million times before
You were taking the lead
Of our love and I’d follow
Made me believe
Though my heart was hollow
Played a saint
But you came down as a sinner
So go ahead now
Go ahead now
I see you’re crying in the rain
No angel’s gonna feel your pain
So save them for another day
Like teardrops fall from heaven
I see you’re crying in the rain
No angel’s gonna feel your pain
So save them for another day
Like teardrops fall from
Heaven heaven heaven
Fall from heaven heaven
Teardrops fall from
Heaven heaven heaven
Fall from heaven
Heaven
All the things
We never did, we’ll never do
Bet you thought I would be lost
Without you
You were taking the lead
Of our love and I’d follow
Made me believe
Though my heart was hollow
Played a saint
But you came down as a sinner
So go ahead now
Go ahead now
Oooh, I see you’re crying in the rain
No angel’s gonna feel your pain
So save them for another day
Like teardrops fall from heaven
I see you’re crying in the rain
No angel’s gonna feel your pain
So save them for another day
Like teardrops fall from
Heaven heaven heaven
Fall from heaven heaven
Teardrops fall from
Heaven heaven heaven
Fall from heaven
Heaven
Teardrops fall from heaven
No angel’s gonna feel your pain
Not today
Oooh, I see you’re crying in the rain
No angel’s gonna feel your pain
So save them for another day
Like teardrops fall from heaven
I see you’re crying in the rain
No angel’s gonna feel your pain
So save them for another day
Like teardrops fall from
Heaven heaven heaven
Fall from heaven heaven
Teardrops fall from
Heaven
Teardrops fall from Heaven
Song 6
Annika Wickihalder – “Life Again”
Text & music: Herman Gardarfve, Patrik Jean, Annika Wickihalder
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
I run through the darkness ’til I’m out of breath
(Start to see it, start to believe it)
I promised myself to hold on ’til the end
(Start to see it, start to believe it)
A new day is dawning
And I can see colors again
The blue skies, the green grass
Repainting my world as they blend
I can feel it coming
I can feel it coming in the air
And I keep on falling
Falling in love with life again
I can feel it coming
I can feel it coming in the air
And I keep on falling
Falling in love with life again
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Falling in love with life again
I’m thanking the rain ’cause it washed off my pain
(Start to see it, start to believe it)
The drums of the thunder are leading my way
(Start to see it, start to believe it)
A new day is dawning
And I can see colors again
I can feel it coming
I can feel it coming in the air
And I keep on falling
Falling in love with life again
I can feel it coming
I can feel it coming in the air
And I keep on falling
Falling in love with life again
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Falling in love with life again
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
(A new day is dawning)
I made it through the night
(A new day is dawning)
I’ve waited for the light
(A new day is dawning)
And I can see colors again
I can feel it coming
I can feel it coming in the air
And I keep on falling
Falling in love with life again
I can feel it coming
I can feel it coming in the air
And I keep on falling
Falling in love with life again
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Falling in love with life again
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Falling in love with life again
