Frida writes, performs and produces her own music. In addition to her singing, Frida has also played bass, drums, guitar and keyboard in a variety of bands based in her hometown of Kiruna.
It was in Kiruna, 700 meters underground in a mine, when Stockholm Records first made contact with Frida’s father after hearing her demo tape a couple of years ago. It seemed as if someone had phoned a wrong number until it became clear that it really was the record company seeking Frida. However, a firm contact was later to be established between her and the record company.
-Yes it was quite comical really, I had put my fathers mobile number down on the demo tape. So when the record company A&R, Anders Johansson called, Dad explained that he was at work down in the mine and for a few moments Anders though he was joking but everything turned out well in the end, says Frida.
After this, Frida was to leave her home-town of Kiruna in order to move to Stockholm.
On the question of her musical influences, Frida answers:
- I have always had a strong liking for female singer/songwriters like Julie Miller and Tori Amos, but I listen even more to the Beastie Boys. In fact I like all music that feels genuine. I just love music, it’s the most important component in my life. I love to write music and lyrics, but to then go on and produce and perform the music is a whole other dimension for me.
Frida’s debut single, "Lucky Day", released in late 2001, is a suggestive and immediate rock song based on a constant guitar riff emphasising Frida’s warm voice.
The single became a airplay and sales hit in Sweden, Switzerland and Austria.
In January 2003 Frida was nominated at the Swedish Grammies for the best female artist of 2002 and P3 Radio station nominated Frida for female artist of the year. Frida´s appearance and personality was appreciated by magazines like Cafe and Slitz who included Frida in their list of Sweden’s 100 sexiest women. Even the gay magazine, QX noticed Frida when they named her as one of Sweden’s five sexiest women.
In the media in general and particularly in the girls magazines, Frida has earned a reputation as a welcome alternative to the more ‘frivolous’ pop artists world. Articles have often discussed the ‘genius’ and ‘multitalented’ Frida Snell.
Frida´s musical direction is diverse. On her second single – Bullet With Butterfly Wings - she chose to work with one of Europe´s biggest names in jazz, german Till Brönner. The evening papers and the music press have taken turns to congratulate Frida on her version of Smashing Pumpkins ‘Bullet with Buttefly Wings’.
Frida´s third single is a “Saturday Night” and is about the boredom you might feel in your life, once in a while. And the ways of avoiding and getting out of this boredom.
Curiosities.
• Frida Snell was discovered by the record company when she was just 15 years old. She bought a The Cardigans album and thought that their record company would also like her music.
• When Frida wrote the songs for her first record, she was living at home in Norrland and was more or less cut of from the outside world, having no Radio or TV and minimal contact. Today, Frida owns a TV but hardly ever watches it.
• Despite the fact that Frida hasn’t had any experience of acting, quite a few producers and directors have expressed an interest in Frida and offered her some parts. There’s been some speculation that Frida will audition for some of them.
• Frida Snell is the first international artist that has recorded her video in Romania. Nicole Kidman went there the week after to work on her forthcoming film.
I'll Be Thinking of You
Frida Snell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To be without your smile
And be without your looks that make me laugh
Until I cry
And so there you go, you're leaving me
For oh so long
But now I have learned my lesson,
I know the meaning of withdraw
But as your shirt falls to the floor
And you lie down for one night more
And the lights go out again
Are you thinking of me then?
You are the guilty, you rock my world
You twist my mind
You make me incapable of judging you
You make me blind
But you should know that every time
The day is done and I close my eyes
And the dark crawls in again
I'll be thinking of you then
I don't know who turns the time
Who spins the earth, who draws the lines
But there is no power alive as strong as when
Two souls make one
I am lost, I am lost, I am lost
But as your shirt falls to the floor
And you lie down for one night more
And the lights go out again
Are you thinking of me then?
The lyrics of Frida Snell's song "I'll Be Thinking of You" portrays a sense of longing and desperation for a loved one. The first stanza describes the nostalgia one feels when thinking of someone that brings joy in their life. The singer is feeling a deep sense of sadness and loss as they come to the realization that they will be without the person they love for an extended period. The line "But now I have learned my lesson, I know the meaning of withdraw" indicates that the singer has experienced this feeling before, perhaps in previous relationships.
The second stanza describes a scene that is taking place between the singer and their loved one. The singer is wondering if their loved one is thinking of them in that moment. The lyrics "you rock my world, you twist my mind, you make me incapable of judging you, you make me blind" showcases the power that their relationship has over the singer. They are fully enamored with their partner, to a point where they can’t see any flaws in them.
The final stanza touches on the idea that the bond between two souls is one of the most powerful things in the world. The singer is lost without their loved one and wishes that they could be with them. The phrases "As your shirt falls to the floor, and you lie down for one night more" and "And the dark crawls in again" signify a longing for intimacy and closeness with their partner. The lyrics suggest that despite the distance between the two, there is still a strong emotional connection between them.
Line by Line Meaning
I never figured what it would be like
I had no idea how it would feel
To be without your smile
To not have your smile around me anymore
And be without your looks that make me laugh
And to not experience your looks that make me laugh
Until I cry
Until I laugh so much that tears stream down my face
And so there you go, you're leaving me
And now you're leaving me behind
For oh so long
For a very long time
But now I have learned my lesson,
But I have learned from this experience
I know the meaning of withdraw
I understand what it means to withdraw from something or someone
But as your shirt falls to the floor
But as you undress and get ready for bed
And you lie down for one night more
And you lay down to sleep for another night
And the lights go out again
And the room goes dark once more
Are you thinking of me then?
Are you thinking of me in that moment?
You are the guilty, you rock my world
You are the one to blame, you affect my world in a big way
You twist my mind
You mess with my head
You make me incapable of judging you
You make it impossible for me to judge you fairly
You make me blind
You blind me to the truth
But you should know that every time
But you need to know that each time
The day is done and I close my eyes
The day is over and I am going to sleep
And the dark crawls in again
And darkness envelops me once more
I'll be thinking of you then
I will be thinking of you in that moment
I don't know who turns the time
I don't know who controls time
Who spins the earth, who draws the lines
Who makes the world turn, who makes the boundaries
But there is no power alive as strong as when
However, there is no force as strong as
Two souls make one
When two people come together in love
I am lost, I am lost, I am lost
I feel lost and unsure
But as your shirt falls to the floor
But as you undress and get ready for bed
And you lie down for one night more
And you lay down to sleep for another night
And the lights go out again
And the room goes dark once more
Are you thinking of me then?
Are you thinking of me in that moment?

So in the end I cross the line
You walk your way and I walk mine
The sky is falling down from above
The birds are silent when we lose our love
I've got to turn around
I've got to walk away
I'm running out of choices
Feeling that I'll run astray
I've got to give it up
I've got to let you go
I'm gonna shape it up
But I'm falling, I'm fainting
I'm watching it's blowing away
It ain't my lucky day today
I look at you and you look at me
We're lost as far as I can see
My heart is trembling like a frozen dove
The darkest night when we lose our love
I've got to turn around
I've got to walk away
I'm running out of choices
Feeling that I'll run astray
I've got to give it up
I've got to let you go
I'm gonna shape it up
But I'm falling, I'm fainting
I'm watching it's blowing away
It ain't my lucky day today
I've got to turn around
I've got to walk away
I'm running out of choices
Feeling that I'll run astray
I've got to give it up
I've got to let you go
I'm gonna shape it up
But I'm falling, I'm fainting
I'm watching it's blowing away
It ain't my lucky day today
It ain't my lucky day today
