Più passano i giorni, qui a Stoccolma, e più i cantanti sono indaffarati e vanno di fretta. A volte, però, un paio di battute si riescono a scambiare: come è successo a noi con Frans, il padrone di casa, interprete di "If I were sorry".
Poche domande, ma mirate. Ecco la nostra mini intervista.
Oggi visitiamo il grande Nord che ci propone tre belle canzoni fra le quali quella dei padroni di casa: Finlandia, Norvegia e Svezia.

Testo della canzone:
Please believe me when I say
There's nothing harder than the strife
When heavy waters try to break you
you will be singing for life
When you feel like your world is falling down
And darkness has taken your sight
There's no need to be carrying a frown
I'll help you sing it out tonight
Sing it away
All my troubles away
Sing it away
Never make me fade away
Sing it away
All my troubles away
Sing it away
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh
I'm gonna sing it
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh
Yeeaah
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh
I'm gonna sing it
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh
I'm gonna sing it away
So if you're focused, you can make it
You'll feel like nothing can steer you of your course
When fear will try to make you cave in
Remember that love is the source
When you feel like your dreams are beaten down
and your fire is loosing its light
There's no need to be carrying a frown
I'll help you sing it out tonight
Sing it away
All my troubles away
Sing it away
Never make me fade away
Sing it away
All my troubles away
Sing it away
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh
I'm gonna sing it
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh
Yeeaah
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh
I'm gonna sing it
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh
I'm gonna sing it away
When all of the walls come crashing down
When you try to scream but can't make a sound
Don't' you worry about it, don't you worry about it
You just gotta sing it away
Sing it away
All my troubles away
Sing it away
Never make me fade away
Sing it away
All my troubles away
Sing it away
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh
I'm gonna sing it
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh
Yeeaah
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh
I'm gonna sing it
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh
I'm gonna sing it away

Testo della canzone:
Every night
Before I sleep a shiver down my spine
Thoughts align
What can i do to make you listen
Like a northern light
You’re dancing over every border line
Passing every sign
Between reality and fiction
Every single promise that you ever made
Spinning in my mind like a hurricane
Baby yes i hear your mayday
I'll be your icebreaker
When you’re stuck in frozen water
(when you’re stuck in)
Frozen water
You go astray
Just like a polaroid
You fade away
I'll be you partner
and liberate you from your prison
Baby yes i hear your mayday
We’re way too young to say good bye
Whenever you loose faith just hold the line
It takes a lot of nerve to save a life

Testo della canzone:
I’d crawl thru the desert on my hands and knees
Rehearsin my pretty please
Climb the highest mountain
If I were sorry
Shout it from the top
Swim under water until my lungs exploded
Walk into the fire
If I were sorry
I'd run a thousand mile
Wouldn't stop until I dropped
Wouldn’t take a break to breathe until I got close
enough
Then Id do it all again
If I really had the chance
But I know deep inside for you its just another
dance
If I were sorry
I’d give you all the glory
If I were sorry
If I were sorry
It would be a different story
If I were sorry
If I were sorry oh
I’d hold my breath until my face turned blue
I’d rob a bank and the post office too
Swim across the ocean
If I were sorry
I’d take wow of silence
I wouldn’t say a single word
Until you really heard
If I were sorry
I’d run a thousand miles
Wouldn’t stop until I dropped
Wouldn’t take the break to breathe
Until I I got close enough
If I were sorry
I’d give you all the glory
If I were sorry
If I were sorry
It would be a different story
If I were sorry oh
Now did you ever realize
That your mistake had a prize
Oh you threw it all away
Cuz youre the devil in disguise
Now would you ever realize
The consequences of your lies
And would you save the falling tear or act as if
There’s nothing there
If I were sorry
If I were sorry
If I were sorry
If I were sorry
If I were sorry
I’d take a vow of silence
I wouldn’t say a single word
If I were sorry
If I were sorry
I’d be on my hands and knees
Beggin pretty please
If I were sorry
But I’m not sorry no

Testo della canzone
It's getting late and be that as it may
I turn to you I turn to you
we might seem so obvious to me
but not to you not to you
we ain't got all night
to find out what is right
so let's go undecided till we know
the only way to go
is let your feelings show
see all your walls come down
and just hit
play
cause that's the only way
to find out if it's love
that we're fallin' we're fallin' into
I didn't know what to do
but now I’m good as new
'cause I'm stronger much stronger
with you
some might say it’s an ordinary day
but not for me not for me
if you feel your senses disagree
bare with me bare with me
we ain't got all night
to find out what is right
so let's go undecided till we know
it's the only way to see
if we were meant to be
let all your walls come down
and just hit
play…
some might say it’s an ordinary day
but not for me not for me

Numero di gara: 1
Testo della canzone:
I know you told so many times
So many words in different rhymes
But I don’t feel the same
I wasn’t innocent I know
And things I did for sure were wrong
The time has passed... So long...
Feeling your heartbeat
That’s what I want
That’s what I need
Feeling again that you’re breathing with me
I’m getting wild when I’m alone
I learned by heart – you’re not my own
But I never asked you to belong
You’re my desire and my pain
But all the battles are in vain
You mean more than anything to me
Feeling your heartbeat
That’s what I want
That’s what I need
Feeling again that you’re breathing with me ||2x
You’re the one I need
You’re the air that I breathe
Don’t throw my heart away
I want you to stay
Feeling your heartbeat
That’s what I want
That’s what I need
Feeling again that you’re breathing with me

Here we are together you and I (I)
Watching lights around us fill the night (night)
I was living in the dark
Tried to heal my broken heart
Until now
Cause here we are together you and I (I)
For a thousand years through a million tears
With a hungry heart, every day apart
I’ve been waiting for this night, I've been waiting for this night
When I see your smile and your beautiful eyes
I get lost in time, now I know that I’ve
I’ve been waiting for this night, I’ve been waiting for this night
If only I could stay here by your side (side)
To promise you forever here tonight (night)
There is nothing I can do
That can take my heart from you
Always yours
If only I could stay here by your side (side)
For a thousand years through a million tears
With a hungry heart, every day apart
I’ve been waiting for this night, I’ve been waiting for this night
When I see your smile and your beautiful eyes
I get lost in time, now I know that I’ve
I’ve been waiting for this night, I’ve been waiting for this night
Aaaaaaaa aaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaa
For a thousand years and a million tears
With a hungry heart, every day apart

When I see your smile and your beautiful eyes
I get lost in time, now I know that I’ve
I’ve been waiting for this night, I’ve been waiting for this night
