Alcazar have become one of Sweden's most popular and successful groups since their début single was released back in 1999. They have scored 13 top 40 hits in Sweden including 2 number ones and 8 top 10 hits.
Alcazar are also well known for their participation in the Swedish Eurovision pre-selection contest 'Melodifestivalen' - having competed a total of 5 times (2003 - "Not a Sinner, Nor a Saint," 2005 - "Alcastar," 2009 - "Stay the Night," 2010 - "Headlines," 2014 - "Blame It On The Disco").
Alcazar reformed in July 2007 to perform at the London Astoria as part of a celebration of Swedish music masterminded by producer Alexander Bard of Army of Lovers fame.
Alcazar took a break in August 2011 after a concert at Stockholm Pride. They announced their comeback and participation in Melodifestivalen 2014 in late 2013.
They have released three studio albums and one compilation.

Alcazar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Could need some inspiration
Don't make too much of it
Now let's not analyze
This is a game with no rules
I won't comit to I do
All I can say for sure is
In days of joy and lack of sorrow (lack of sorrow)
I live my life the way I planned
I am not a sinner nor a saint
Not that I would loose my head and faint
Every time we touch, no
Am I forgiven
Living and loving my way
I am not a sinner nor a saint
You never gonna break my heart, I ain't
Gonna let it happen, no
Am I forgiven
Confessions I make in the name of myself
Am I a badboy, maybe
Am I a sadboy, let's see
I can't remember crying
Since I was a child
Don't need no babysitter
No I am not that bitter
I get my satisfaction
Every now and then
In days of joy and lack of sorrow (lack of sorrow)
I live my life the way I planned
I am not a sinner nor a saint
Not that I would loose my head and faint
Every time we touch, no
Am I forgiven
Living and loving my way
I am not a sinner nor a saint
You never gonna break my heart, I ain't
Gonna let it happen, noo
Am I forgiven
Confessions I make in the name of myself
Ah
Not that I would loose my head and faint
Every time we touch, noo
Am I forgiven
Living and loving my way
I am not a sinner nor a saint
You never gonna break my heart, I ain't
Gonna let it happen, noo
Am I forgiven
Confessions I make in the name of myself
In "Not A Sinner Nor A Saint," the band Alcazar sings about their behavior and how they do not fit into either category of being a sinner or being a saint. The lyrics express their freedom to live their life the way they planned, without the pressure of societal or religious expectations. The song suggests that the singer is not keen on settling down in a committed relationship and wants to take things as they come. The chorus expresses the singer's desire to live life on their own terms without the fear of being judged, forgiven or punished for their actions.
The lyrics are open to interpretation and can relate to various life scenarios. However, the overall theme of the song is the celebration of freedom, the courage to make our own choices, and living life to the fullest. The lyrics are catchy and fun, making it a danceable track that one can enjoy. Alcazar does an excellent job of producing music that celebrates life and the beauty of being unique in a world that tries to fit everyone in boxes.

This is terrific. It has Magnus's piano introduction (that some of the others miss), and the picture is crystal clear. This is just the kind of thing I've been waiting for.
