About Me

A little about my two first songs:
Sugar Sweet, I wrote this spring and I was actually not very inspired and as I wrote it I couldn't even tell if it was any good... After changing the chorus a million times I found a chorus I had worked on earlier and I was like "this isn't so bad" so I decided to use it. Anyways the song isn't about anyone in particular. But I was listening a lot to the Sounds and other Swedish bands when writing it.
Give it to me, I wrote last fall and it's actually not about a guy or sex. It's about me wanting and being ready for my career to take off. If you hear in the end it reveals what is is that I want "power, love, success, love...". So the lyrics in this song means a lot to me and hopefully the song itself can give me a little bit of those things I'm asking for :). I had the Beatles in mind while writing it, keeping it simple and leaving space for the music.
Hope you like them!JON OLSSON FEATURED MY MUSIC IN HIS VIDEOBLOG!
