Before pursuing a solo career, Hellström played drums for Broder Daniel from 1988 to 1994 and briefly joined Honey Is Cool, featuring Karin Dreijer from The Knife and Fever Ray. In 1997, he reunited with Broder Daniel, this time as a bass player. After the release of their album "Broder Daniel Forever" in 1998, the band members took a hiatus.
In 1999, Hellström assembled a backing band composed of members from Soundtrack of Our Lives, Weeping Willows, and Broder Daniel to record a demo tape. Despite not having written songs for his previous bands, Hellström had been quietly working on Swedish-language songs. Following the completion of the demo, he received numerous record deal offers and eventually signed with Virgin under the condition that the album be recorded immediately.
Hellström made his debut performance as a solo artist on May 26, 2000, at Restaurang Trädgårn in Gothenburg, where he opened for Caesar's. He gained wider recognition with the hit single "Känn ingen sorg för mig Göteborg," and the accompanying debut album received both commercial success and critical acclaim. His musical style drew influences from various artists, including The Smiths, The Jam, Morrissey, Eldkvarn, The Stone Roses, Bruce Springsteen, and Remmy Ongala.
In 2002, Hellström released his second album, "Det är Så Jag Säger Det," which incorporated influences from Brazilian samba and Swedish folk singers Evert Taube and Cornelis Vreeswijk.
In 2003, he departed from Broder Daniel to focus on his solo career. Subsequently, he released albums such as "Ett Kolikbarns Bekännelser" in 2005 and "Nåt Gammalt, Nåt Nytt, Nåt Lånat, Nåt Blått," which featured tracks that didn't make it onto previous records.
Despite taking a step back from the music industry after the birth of his son in 2006, Hellström continued to perform and release albums, including "För Sent För Edelweiss" (2008), "2 Steg Från Paradise" (2010), and "Det Kommer Aldrig Va över för Mig" (2013), the latter achieving triple-platinum status in Sweden.
In 2014, Hellström performed for a record-breaking audience of 70,000 at Gothenburg's Ullevi Stadium. His album "Du Gamla du Fria" reached number one in Sweden and enjoyed success in Norway as well. In 2016, he set a new attendance record at Ullevi Stadium with 70,144 people. Hellström's album "Rampljus Vol.1" also reached the number one spot, followed by "Rampljus" featuring new tracks.
Det kommer aldrig va över för mig
Håkan Hellström Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jag är platsen dom aldrig upptäckte
Jag är en storm från ingenstans
Jag kan krossa ditt hjärta
Som en orkan kan jag svepa bort dig
Men jag tänker aldrig dö, nej
Det kommer aldrig va över för mig
Jag kommer älska dig när jorden gått under
För jag tänker aldrig dö, nej
Det kommer aldrig va över för mig
Jag är tjugofyra
Bara en liten gnista
Bara ett ord kan sätta eld på en skog
Jag kan älska dig just som den där elden
Men jag tänker aldrig dö, nej
Det kommer aldrig va över för mig
Jag kan bränna dig som du aldrig bränt dig
Om du leker med mig
Det kommer aldrig va över för mig
Jag är trettionio
Jag är ett tappat självförtroende
En pojke från förr är tillbaks igen
Han bara står där
Och stirrar mig rakt ner i själen
Vi skulle älska varandra tills jorden gick under
Och du skulle aldrig dö, nej.
Det skulle aldrig va över för dig
Jag kommer älska dig när jorden gått under
För jag tänker aldrig dö, nej
Det kommer aldrig va över för mig
In "Det kommer aldrig va över för mig," Håkan Hellström sings about his unyielding love that withstands time and circumstances. He starts by describing himself as a sixteen-year-old who is invisible to others, but a force to reckon with, capable of crushing hearts. Hellström likens himself to a storm that rises from nowhere and can sweep away everything in its path. He emphasizes that he will never die, and his love will never end.
In the second verse, Hellström has aged to 24 but still feels like a mere spark that can ignite a forest fire. His love burns as fierce as that fire, but he reiterates that he will never die and his love will never end. He warns that if anyone messes with him, he can burn them like they have never been burned before.
The final verse sees Hellström at 39 and recounts how a boy from his past has resurfaced and finds him lost in his thoughts. He dreams of a love that will never end, one that will last until the end of time, and never fade away. He reassures that his unending love is still burning bright and that it will never be over for him.
This song's message is clear, that the love Håkan Hellström has for someone will never fade away or die. He speaks of it with the passion of a man determined to hold on to what he cherishes most. His lyrics show the dynamism of love, how it can grow and evolve over time but still remain constant.
