It's definitely the best Swedish song since my debut last May !

Well, nice to hear that you liked it Thanks

As for being the best in a year, it's a matter of taste, all songs I sent are good to me so it's hard for me to rank, it depends on my mood

Alright, it's definitely the Swedish song I've liked the most then

Hey [MENTION=4544]A-lister[/MENTION], congratulations on your win again!

I must say I really admire you staying true to your music taste through-out the competition and showing a different side of Swedish music that we don't get to see very often. As a big lover of indie pop, I've really enjoyed some of your entries. And you are right with what you said, I think the fun of taking part and getting to introduce different music of your country is the best part of FSC. Wanting to do well is understandable, but I feel like the worth of someone discovering a song that they really love through this or that means something to them overshadows that in the end, even if the majority doesn't exactly agree every time (it's also why I applaud not always taking the popular route, even though it's nice every once in a while to get a lot of points of course ). Most of all I wanted to let you know that for example the entry you sent for August last year (I think), which was "Super 8" by Little Jinder is one of my favourite songs of all time now and by far my most listened to track of last year! I wouldn't have discovered it if you hadn't sent it, so thank you (also really-really enjoyed Skott - Lack Of Emotion, Min Stora Sorg - Anso&John, Llojd - Stranden... in fact your entries have been in my top 11 out of the 15 editions I have taken part in 12 times ) ... But of course, good luck for the future and happy FSC anniversary, hope you keep on sending brilliant entries like before!

FSC#100 - June 2017

Alina Devecerski
Flytta på dej!

So to celebrate the 100th anniversary of FSC, songs that were released during the FSC era (starting from March 2009), but wouldn't be eligible for this edition under normal circumstances, got a second chance at being chosen for FSC (temporarily excluding the eligible ones for this edition only). Now, initially the task felt a bit overwhelming... I mean what to choose when you have nearly a decade of music to choose from? After initially withdrawing due to lack of time, I changed my mind when I suddenly realized what Swedish song I still go back to every now and then, and it became clear to me...!

So, my pick for this special occasion is the catchy, quirky and still freshly sounding Swedish-language Electro-Pop party banger Flytta på dej! (Move!/Get Out of the Way!), performed by singer-songwriter Alina Devecerski. The single, which was officially released as a double release together with the track Jag svär (I Swear) back in April 2012, later became one of the biggest hits of the summer 2012 in Sweden, aswell as one of the biggest Swedish-language hits period (of the past decade atleast), topping the official single charts both in Norway and in Denmark. Taken from Devecerski's debut album; Maraton (Marathon), it's her only hit to date making it something of a "One Hit Wonder". Alina has yet to release something new following her 2014 second album release Gnista + Gas (Spark + Gas).

This is the second try for Devecerski in FSC, following the entry Armé (Army), which ended up at #20 in the 69th edition of FSC back in November 2014 (read more here). Question is, will Alina follow in Miss Li's footsteps and become more successful on her second try? You decide!

LYRICS:

[Chorus] Jag bygger, bygger upp
Och du river, river ner
Du gör mig så lack
Du vägrar ge upp

För jag klättrar, klättrar upp
Och du drar mig, drar mig ner
Vi måste ta ett snack
Hörru, du måste flytta på dig!

Flytta, flytta, flytta, flytta, flytta, flytta, flytta, flytta,
flytta, flytta, flytta, flytta
Du måste flytta på dig!

[Verse 1] Sanningen är, jag är som du
Sanningen sved, du fucka ur*
Låter såhär; du måste flytta på dig!

Inget du sa, var nån'ting bra
Inget du var, ville jag va'
Ingenting alls
Du måste flytta på dig!

Jag hörde var du sa, bakom ryggen var du svag
Och hela världen sa...

[Chorus] Jag bygger, bygger upp
Och du river, river ner
Du gör mig så lack
Du vägrar ge upp

För jag klättrar, klättrar upp
Och du drar mig, drar mig ner
Vi måste ta ett snack
Hörru, du måste flytta på dig!

Flytta, flytta, flytta, flytta, flytta, flytta, flytta, flytta, flytta,
flytta, flytta, flytta
Du måste flytta på dig!

[Verse 2] Följer med in, följer med ut
Följer mig dit, följer mig runt
Vad vill du ha?
Du måste flytta på dig!

Slösar min tid, släpp mig fri!
Vi är passé, fattar du det?
Kör det igen...

Du måste flytta på dig!

Jag hörde var du sa, bakom ryggen var du svag
Och hela världen sa...

[Chorus] Jag bygger, bygger upp
och du river, river ner
Du gör mig så lack
Du vägrar ge upp

För jag klättrar, klättrar upp
Och du drar mig, drar mig ner
Vi måste ta ett snack
Hörru, du måste flytta på dig

[Middle Part] De säger att det bara är saker som man ser
Men jag vill veta, måste veta mycket mer
Ja, bakom molnen skymtar mer än horisonten
Psyket det är komplext med alla sina monster

De säger att det bara är saker som man ser
Men jag vill veta, måste veta mycket mer
Ja, bakom molnen skymtar mer än horisonten
Psyket det är komplex med alla sina monster

Och hela världen sa...

[Chorus] Jag bygger, bygger upp
Och du river, river ner
Du gör mig så lack
Du vägrar ge upp

För jag klättrar, klättrar upp
Och du drar mig, drar mig ner
Vi måste ta ett snack
Hörru, du måste flytta på dig!

Jag bygger, bygger upp
Och du river, river ner
Du gör mig så lack
Du vägrar ge upp

För jag klättrar, klättrar upp
Och du drar mig, drar mig ner
Vi måste ta ett snack
Hörru, du måste flytta på dig!

LYRICS [ENGLISH TRANSLATION]:

[Chorus] I build, build (it) up
And you tear, tear (it) down
You make me so mad
You refuse to give up

'Cause I climb, climb up
And you're pulling, pulling me down
We need to have a chat
Listen, you have to get out of the way!

Move, move, move, move, move, move, move, move,
Move, move, move, move
You have to move (out of the way)!

[Verse 1] The truth is, I'm like you
The truth hurt, you lost it*
Sounds like this; You have to get out of the way!

Nothing you said, was something good
Nothing you were, I would be
Nothing at all
You have to get out of the way!

I heard what you said, behind the back you were weak
And the whole world said ...

[Chorus] I build, build (it) up
And you tear, tear (it) down
You make me so mad
You refuse to give up

'Cause I climb, climb up
And you're pulling, pulling me down
We need to have a chat
Listen, you have to get out of the way!

Move, move, move, move, move, move, move, move,
Move, move, move, move
You have to move (out of the way)!

[Verse 2] Follow in, follow out
Follow me there, follow me around
What do you want?
You have to get out of the way!

Wasting my time, set me free!
We are over, do you understand?
Run it again...

You have to get out of the way!

I heard what you said, behind the back you were weak
And the whole world said ...

[Chorus] I build, build (it) up
And you tear, tear (it) down
You make me so mad
You refuse to give up

'Cause I climb, climb up
And you're pulling, pulling me down
We need to have a chat
Listen, you have to get out of the way!

[Middle Part] They say it's only things you see
But I want to know, need to know a lot more
Yes, behind the clouds, it's more than the horizon
The psyche it's complex with all its monsters

They say it's only things you see
But I want to know, need to know a lot more
Yes, behind the clouds, it's more than the horizon
The psyche it's complex with all its monsters

And the whole world said ...

Listen, you have to get out of the way!

*"Fucka ur" = Swedish slang for "getting crazy" or "loosing it" (as in; "loosing one's mind").

The result for Sweden in this special anniversary edition was decent I guess, was maybe hoping for a top. 10 but didn't know what to expect as the entry itself is quite "eccentric" in a sense and quite polarizing I could assume.

FSC#101 - July 2017

Rhys
Last Dance

In most FSC countries we're currently in the midst of the summer season and for this July edition, Sweden is sending the catchy Pop track Last Dance. The entry has a vibe fit to this season aswell including those bittersweet lyrics about love and heartbreak that could very well describe any of those short-lived, but often hectic and sometimes life-changing, summer romances that many of us have experienced atleast once in our lives, especially in our younger adult years.

This edition's Swedish entry is performed by 19-year old Rhys Clarstedt Frank. Born in the USA, Rhys eventually moved to Sweden at the age of 10 with her family. In 2015 she got discovered by Swedish producer-songwriter Jörgen Elofsson (who previously worked with artists like Britney Spears, Kelly Clarkson and Celine Dion) which resulted in the release of her debut single Swallow Your Pride in 2016 and now followed up by Last Dance, originally released in February 2017, which is also her first charting single on the Official Swedish Singles chart.

LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
You wanna be free, I'm gonna be fine
In this new reality of a different kind
You wanna be free and I'll be alright
I'll stay away from daylight
And hardly eat at all (eat at all)
Ooooh, but I won't get hung up
I won't get hung up, I won't get strung up
To the fact that we are over, fact that we are over

[Chorus]
If this would be the last dance
We'll ever dance together, you and I
Oh if all we ever had was an illusion
And if we gave it every chance
Gave it every goddamn chance
Chance
Gave it every goddamn chance
Chance

[Verse 2]
I'll be looking for signs
Where there's nothing to find
I'll see you everywhere
It's a trick of the mind (Trick of the mind, trick of the mind)
Ooooh, but I won't get hung up
I won't get hung up, I won't get strung up
To the fact that we are over, fact that we are over

[Chorus]
If this would be the last dance (This would be the last dance)
We'll ever dance together, you and I
Oh if all we ever had was an illusion (Ooooh)
And if we gave it every chance
Gave it every goddamn chance
Chance
Gave it every goddamn chance
Chance

[Bridge]
Just a kiss and a smile
Can we pretend for a while?
That we got all the time in the world
We got all the time in the world
All the time in the world

[Chorus]
If this would be the last dance
We'll ever dance together, you and I
Oh if all we ever had was an illusion (All we ever had was an illusion)
And if we gave it every chance (Every chance)
Gave it every goddamn chance

[Post-Chorus]
Oooooh (Chance)
Gave it every goddamn chance
Gave it every goddamn chance (Chance)
Gave it every goddamn chance

[Outro]
Oooooh, chance
Gave it every goddamn chance
Oooooh, chance
Gave it every goddamn chance

FSC#102 - August 2017

AronChupa feat. Little Sis Nora
Llama in My Living Room

Grab a drink, grab some friends and let's have some fun tonight! Sweden is finishing off the Northern hemisphere's Summer Season 2017 by speeding it up a notch with the catchy and fun novelty club banger; Llama in My Living Room, performed by producer/DJ Aron "AronChupa" Ekberg and his "Little Sis" Nora Ekberg. The two siblings, originating from the western Swedish town of Borås, are previously mostly known for the worldwide novelty club hit and Youtube sensation I'm an Albatraoz which was released back in 2014 and reached the top of the charts in several countries. I'm an Albatraoz also happens to be AronChupa's debut solo single and lends part of its title from the name the EDM novelty band Albatraoz that Aron also is a member of apart from his solo project as AronChupa.

LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
My neighbour's knocking and I open carefully
He looks a bit like Ron Jeremy
He's screaming at me "Damn you little Albatraoz!"
While he smells like chips and calvadaoz
He said what the hell is going on
What is that goddamn growl?
That ain't no sound of Rock 'n' Roll!
I said I'm so sorry but I got this thing I have to show
That might be good for you to know
So I brought him inside
Don't know why
But then suddenly he just passed out
I thought well alright
Can't deny...

[Bridge]
That I got a llama in my living room
A llama in my living room
A llama in my, llama in my, llama in my, llama in my
Llama in my, llama in my, llama in my...
I got a llama in my living room

[Chorus]
I got a
A llama in my living room
I got a
I got a llama in my living room

[Verse 2]
I saw my little neighbour shaking on the floor
I never seen a man like that before
He didn't even make it through my kitchen door
He must have thought it was a dinosaur
Then he opened up his eyes screaming "I'mma kill that thing!"
Then his big arm started to swing
I tried to calm him down, told him take it easy now
It's just my llama named Chow Chow
Then he raced up, he said "What!?"
I said I'm sorry but I just can't stop
Now you know what
What I got...

[Bridge]
That I got a llama in my living room
A llama in my living room
A llama in my, llama in my, llama in my, llama in my
I got a llama in my living room

[Chorus]
I got a
A llama in my living room
I got a
I got a llama in my living room
A llama in my living room
A llama in my living room

In this edition, the results were actually better than I predicted, so I'm satisfied with yet another top. 5 position ...

FSC#103 - September 2017

Julia Adams
Deja vu

Summer has ended and we're entering the Autumn (on the Northern hemisphere that is), going from a crazy party song about a llama named Chow Chow, to the mildly melancholic, more simplistic yet efficient and catchy mid-tempo Pop track Deja vu , performed by the 26-year old singer-songwriter Julia Adams.

Adams started out as part of the duo Little Marbles back in 2006, initially doing cover songs as a street-music act, eventually getting signed to a record label which resulted in the release of their debut album Vi accepterar mitt kaos (We Accept My Chaos) in 2008, followed by their second LP; Vi slutar när vi är klara (We Stop When We're Finished) (an album co-produced by FSC-winner Miss Li) in 2010. The duo released their third, and so far last, studio album back in 2012. In 2015, Adams released her debut solo single; Allt jag nånsin (Everything I Ever), followed by her debut EP Chanslös (Chanceless).

The single Deja vu, which was released back in March 2017, is currently Adams' latest release, and whether it will be part of a full solo-debut LP is yet to be announced, however for the time being let us enjoy this sweet little Pop gem, which has a slight touch of Country-Pop aswell as some modern Melodifestivalen- Swedish Schlager-Pop influences to it, for what it is.

LYRICS:

[Verse 1] Om du vill
Kan jag berätta
Allt som vi gjorde så fel
Och om du vill
Kan vi fortsätta
Ta sönder varann del för del
Himlen är lila över staden
Jag låtsas att allt är en film
Å lite till
Det måste lätta
Jag orkar inte med oss mer

[Chorus] Ett slag i bröstet
Mår du bra nu?
Vi har varit här förut
Känns som jag drömmer
Allt om igen nu
Svär det är Deja vu
När jag dansar
När du dansar
Och du rör dig lite närmre
Se mig backa
Och jag svär det är
Som ett slag i bröstet
Mår du bra nu?
Vi har varit här förut
Svär det är Deja vu

[Verse 2] Å du ber
Ber mig att stanna
Men baby det är redan försent
Och jag ser
Du har svårt att fatta
Att jag inte orkar oss mer
Flyger så högt dit ingen når mig
Här uppe så känns ingenting
Och om du vill
Kan jag berätta
Men jag tror nog att du redan vet

[Chorus] Ett slag i bröstet
Mår du bra nu?
Vi har varit här förut
Känns som jag drömmer
Allt om igen nu
Svär det är Deja vu
När jag dansar
När du dansar
Och du rör dig lite närmre
Se mig backa
Och jag svär det är
Som ett slag i bröstet
Mår du bra nu?
Vi har varit här förut
Svär det är Deja vu

[Middle Part] Svär det är deja vu
Allt om igen nu
För vi har varit här förut

[Chorus] Ett slag i bröstet
Mår du bra nu?
Vi har varit här förut
Känns som jag drömmer
Allt om igen nu
Svär det är Deja vu
Känner du ett slag i bröstet
Jag släpper taget
För vi har varit här förut
Känns som jag drömmer
Allt om igen nu
Svär det är Deja vu
När jag dansar
När du dansar
Och du rör dig lite närmre
Se mig backa
Och jag svär det är
Som ett slag i bröstet
Mår du bra nu?
Vi har varit här förut
Svär det är Deja vu

LYRICS [ENGLISH TRANSLATION]:

[Verse 1] If you want
I can tell
All that we did so wrong
And if you want
We can continue
Breaking each other apart piece by piece
The sky is purple over the city
I pretend that everything is a movie
Oh a little more
It must get easier
I can't take us anymore

[Chorus] One stroke in the chest
Do you feel good now?
We have been here before
Feels like I'm dreaming
All over again now
Swear, it's Deja vu
When I dance
When you dance
And you move a little closer
See me back off
And I swear it is
Like a stroke in the chest
Do you feel good now?
We have been here before
Swear, it's Deja vu

[Verse 2] Oh you ask
Ask me to stay
But baby it's already too late
And I see
You don't get it
That I can't take us anymore
Flying so high where nobody reaches me
Up here, nothing feels
And if you want
I can tell
But I think you already know

[Chorus] One stroke in the chest
Do you feel good now?
We have been here before
Feels like I'm dreaming
All over again now
Swear, it's Deja vu
When I dance
When you dance
And you move a little closer
See me back off
And I swear it is
Like a stroke in the chest
Do you feel good now?
We have been here before
Swear, it's Deja vu

[Middle Part] Swear, it's Deja vu
All over again now
Because we have been here before

[Chorus] One stroke in the chest
Do you feel good now?
We have been here before
Feels like I'm dreaming
All over again now
Swear, it's Deja vu
Do you feel a stroke in your chest
I let go
Because we have been here before
Feels like I'm dreaming
All over again now
Swear, It's Deja vu
When I dance
When you dance
And you move a little closer
See me back off
And I swear it is
Like a stroke in the chest
Do you feel good now?
We have been here before
Swear, it's Deja vu

Decent results, kind of what I expected tbh, although I was hoping for a change that I would fair better than normally when sending a Swedish language entry, but somehow it never happens

FSC#104 - October 2017

Ana Diaz
Det var du

Autumn is fully here on the Northern hemisphere and to fit the mood, Sweden is bringing the lyrically melancholic and sonically fine produced midtempo electro-Pop ballad Det var du (It Was You), performed by the 40-year old singer-songwriter-producer Ana Diaz.

Diaz first got contracted as a songwriter back in 2010 and has worked with international acts like Britney Spears and One Direction. In 2015 however, Diaz debuted as a recording artist on her own with the single Fyll upp mitt glas nu (Fill Up My Glass Now), taken from her 2016 debut EP Lyssna del 1 (Listen part 1). Later the same year, she followed up with her second EP release Lyssna del 2 (Listen part 2), which this month's entry is taken from.

LYRICS:

[Verse 1] Var det fel? Vad vet jag?
Vad det nu kan heta?, saknar dig
Och så kommer fredag
Jag går runt och letar efter dig,
Eller nå'n som dig
Det är konstigt hur man glömmer alla fula grejer först av allt
Tycker att jag ser dig, du och alla dina tjejer överallt

[Chorus] Det var du
Även om jag gick ifrån dig
Och det var det bästa för mig
Finns det inga vackra slut?
Det var du
Från allra första gången som jag såg dig
Ändå är det jag som gråter ut
Vem är jag nu?

[Verse 2] Basen eller beatet? Sorgen eller spriten?
Hjärtat slår
Låter honom kyssa mig, smakar inte alls som dig
Hjärtat slår
Det tar längre tid för kroppen att förstå det som mitt huvud redan vet
Dansar, gråter, helt svettig, discolampa,
Tårar ingen ser, de rinner ned

[Chorus] Det var du
Även om jag gick ifrån dig
Och det var det bästa för mig
Finns det inga vackra slut?
Det var du
Från allra första gången som jag såg dig
Ändå är det jag som gråter ut
Vem är jag nu?

Det var du (det var du)
Även om jag gick ifrån dig
Och det var det bästa för mig
Finns det inga vackra slut?
Det var du
Från allra första gången som jag såg dig
Ändå är det jag som gråter ut

Det var du (det var du)
Även om jag gick ifrån dig
Och det var det bästa för mig
Finns det inga vackra slut?
Det var du
Från allra första gången som jag såg dig
Ändå är det jag som gråter ut
Vem är jag nu?

LYRICS [ENGLISH TRANSLATION]:

[Verse 1] Was it wrong? What do I know?
What's it called now? Missing you
And then comes Friday
I'm going around looking for you,
Or someone like you
It's weird how you forget all the ugly stuff first of all
Seems like I see you, you and all your girls everywhere

[Chorus] It was you
Even if I walked away
And that was the best for me
Is there no beautiful ending?
It was you
From the very first time I saw you
Still, I'm crying out
Who am I now?

[Verse 2] The bass or the beat? The sorrow or the alcohol?
The heart beats
Allow him to kiss me, does not taste like you at all
The heart beats
It takes longer for the body to understand what my head already knows
Dancing, crying, totally sweaty, disco ball,
Tears no one sees, they are rolling down

[Chorus] It was you
Even if I walked away
And that was the best for me
Is there no beautiful ending?
It was you
From the very first time I saw you
Still, I'm crying out
Who am I now?

It was you (it was you)
Even if I walked away
And that was the best for me
Is there no beautiful ending?
It was you
From the very first time I saw you
Still, I'm crying out

It was you (it was you)
Even if I walked away
And that was the best for me
Is there no beautiful ending?
It was you
From the very first time I saw you
Still, I'm crying out
Who am I now?

Kind of mediocre results for Sweden in this edition, as expected (although I think it deserved a better result), still a bit sad though that it's so hard to gain support when sending Swedish language entries.

FSC#105 - November 2017

Axwell Λ Ingrosso
More Than You Know

So for this November edition, the EDM/house duo Axwell Λ Ingrosso are making their comeback to the FSC after last entering the contest back in July 2015. As already presented, the duo consists of DJ's/Producers Axel Hedfors and Sebastian Ingrosso that previously made up 2/3 of the now defunct internationally successful Swedish EDM/house act Swedish House Mafia (<- you can read more about them by clicking at the link above).

The catchy, progressive and well-produced More Than You Know features vocals by singer/songwriter/producer Kristoffer Fogelmark and is the second single taken from the duo's second EP, that got released back in May this year. It is also the act's commercially most successful single to date topping the charts in central Europe and the Benelux countries aswell giving the duo a top. 3 Dance/Club hit in the US while also charting in the UK, Australia and France among others.

Last time they entered the FSC they weren't so lucky, maybe this time around we will see a bigger success in the FSC?

LYRICS:

[Chorus] I just need to get it off my chest
Yeah, more than you know
Yeah, more than you know
You should know that baby you're the best
Yeah, more than you know
Yeah, more than you know

[Verse 1] I saw it coming, from miles away
I better speak up if I got something to say
'Cause it ain't over, until she sings
You had your reasons, you had a few
But you knew that I would go anywhere for you
'Cause it ain't over, until she sings

[Chorus] I just need to get it off my chest
Yeah, more than you know
Yeah, more than you know
You should know that baby you're the best
Yeah, more than you know
Yeah, more than you know

[Verse 2] Your good intentions are sweet and pure
But they can never tame a fire like yours
No it ain't over, until she sings
Right where you wanted, down on my knees
You got me begging, pretty baby set me free
'Cause it ain't over, until she sings

[Bridge] Come a little closer, let me taste your smile
Until the morning lights
Ain't no going back the way you look tonight
I see it in your eyes

[Chorus] I just need to get it off my chest
Yeah, more than you know
Yeah, more than you know
You should know that baby you're the best
Yeah, more than you know
Yeah, more than you know

Yeah, more than you know
Yeah, more than you know
Yeah, more than you know
Yeah, more than you know
Yeah, more than you know
Yeah, more than you know
Yeah, more than you know
Yeah, more than you know

I just need to get it off my chest
Yeah, more than you know
Yeah, more than you know
You should know that baby you're the best
Yeah, more than you know
Yeah, more than you know

I just need to get it off my chest
Yeah, more than you know
Yeah, more than you know
You should know that baby you're the best
Yeah, more than you know
Yeah, more than you know

FSC#106 - December 2017

Jennie Abrahamson
To the Water

Sweden is ending this year with the mysterious electro-dream-pop midtempo track To the Water, performed by Indie-Pop singer-songwriter Jennie Abrahamson. The song is taken from the 40-year-old singer's fifth studio album Reverseries that got released in early 2017.

After starting out singing in various bands, Abrahamson went solo back in 2006 and together with colleagues and friends from the music community she started her own indie record label and is also running a recording studio in Stockholm, Sweden.

Hope you will all enjoy this atmospheric song just as much as I do, and also hope you all will have a great Christmas and Holiday season!

So we're rounding up a pretty decent 2017 with the worst results in the entire year, not really the best way of ending a year on and slightly surprised but oh well... hopefully we're back on track in 2018...
