Andreas started his musical journey at age 12 when he caught sight of his father's Gibson Les Paul. It was not about choruses and melodies then, it was all about being able to play all those cool rock solos that Eddie Van Halen, Richie Black Moore and Yngwie Malmsteen played.

It was not long until Andreas started his first band and the songwriting had begun. At 15 Andreas started studying at a music school in Stockholm where his main instrument was guitar, but after two years he began to become more and more interested in singing and concentrating on an artist and songwriting career.

At 22, after having practiced the guitar like a fool since he was 12, played at almost every club in Stockholm, played session guitar in Sweden and being chased by all the major labels and publishing companies in Sweden, he decided to sign to the UK independent Phrased Differently.

Summers & Winters
Andreas Moe Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Are we only in love with ghosts of who we were?
Cause timings, changes
Can we still be him and her?

And I′ve been through summers
I've run through the rain
Singing sad songs for lovers with other names
I′ve got through the winters and kept myself warm

With the thought of me safe falling in your arms
And be in yours again

Out of nowhere
I wish you'd crash into my life
Beat out shattered the rundown walls I've built inside

And I′ve been through summers
I′ve run through the rain
Singing sad songs for lovers with other names
I've got through the winters and kept myself warm
With the thought of me safe falling in your arms
And be in yours again
Be in yours again

I paint the perfect picture
I′ve kept it hanging on the wall
And if it's fate I can see it
And if it hurts at least I′ll feel it
And if it's wrong don′t tell me now

And I've been through summers
I've run through the rain
Singing sad songs for lovers with other names
I got through the winters and kept myself warm
With the thought of me safe falling in your arms

And I′ve been through summers and winters
Just holding onto the thought of you (thought of you)

Be in yours again
Be in yours again

Line by Line Meaning

Are we only in love with ghosts of who we were?
Do we only love the memories of our past selves? Are we holding onto something that no longer exists?

Cause timings, changes
Because time passes and things change

Can we still be him and her?
Can we still be the people we used to be? Can our past selves come back to life?

And I’ve been through summers
I’ve experienced happy times

I've run through the rain
I’ve experienced difficult times

Singing sad songs for lovers with other names
Expressing my sadness and longing for someone who is not you

I’ve got through the winters and kept myself warm
I’ve survived the hard times and found comfort in thoughts of you

With the thought of me safe falling in your arms
The thought of being in your arms brings me comfort and safety

And be in yours again
To be with you again, like before

Out of nowhere
Unexpectedly

I wish you'd crash into my life
I wish you would come back into my life in a big, impactful way

Beat out shattered the rundown walls I've built inside
Break down the emotional barriers I’ve put up over time

I paint the perfect picture
I imagine a perfect scenario

I’ve kept it hanging on the wall
I’ve held onto this hope for a long time

And if it's fate I can see it
If we are meant to be together, I will know it

And if it hurts at least I'll feel it
Even if it's painful, I want to feel it and know the truth

And if it's wrong don't tell me now
If what I hope for is not meant to be, don’t tell me yet

And I’ve been through summers and winters
I’ve been through good times and bad times

Just holding onto the thought of you (thought of you)
I’m still holding onto my memories of you

Be in yours again
To be with you again, like before
