Hey people! 🙂
Today I have another Swedish pop piece for you this month, which has recently got really stuck in my brain, and it’s actually quite cool, I like how it sounds as a whole. It comes from Lisa Howard, who, from what I’ve read, is from Stockholm. She left Sweden for a while and lived in the US, hoping to find an inspiration there, but according to an article about her that I read, she didn’t really find it there (must be frustrating to travel so far away and not get much out of it) so she came back home and has already released several singles which seem to enjoy good reception in her home country and they’re definitely easily likeable. I was able to translate the lyrics of this one for you guys and my translation is below:
Someone told Johanna
Who told her friend
Who told her boyfriend who apparently plays in the same football team as you
Could hardly believe it
That it was true
Felt so weird that you have a new one with almost the same name
I know that I will meet others
But you have barely moved out
You, I hear it on the radio
You fit so well together
I do not think so
How, how could you let go of us?
How could it happen so fast?
We fit so well together
So I called Johanna
And asked about you
How on Earth did you have time to meet another girl?
I forgot a sweater
While you forgot me
So how can you honestly say that it all feels okay?
Feels like you should be ashamed of yourself
But you seem just fine
You, I hear it on the radio
You fit so well together
I do not think so
How, how could you let go of us?
How could it happen so fast?
We fit so well together
You said that I was everything for you
And of course you can change your mind
But feels like you forgot me too quickly
It would have been easier if I just let go off it
And met someone else just as fast
Oh you, I hear it on the radio
You fit so well together
I do not think so
How, how could you let go of us?
How could it happen so fast?
We fit so well together
