Jay-Jay Johanson was born Jäje Johansson on 11 October 1969 in Trollhättan, Västra Götaland. His debut album, Whiskey, was released in August 1996. Recorded at Break My Heart Studios in the Stockholm archipelago, the album was characterized by its jazzy vocals over trippy, film noir arrangements.
In 1998, Johanson released Tattoo, taking a step into a more richly textured, poetic ambience. Johansson's third album, Poison, was released in April 2000 and went straight into the French charts at number four. The album featured contributions from Cocteau Twins founder and guitarist Robin Guthrie. The same year Johanson also composed the soundtrack to French director Ilan Duran Cohen's film La Confusion des Genres, and in 2001, Johanson emerged with "Cosmodrome", a sound-and-image installation first exhibited in the French city of Dijon. This art-piece has travelled around the world and was last shown at the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris.
Antenna was released in 2002, recorded with assistance from German experimental electronic group Funkstörung. 2004 marked the release of the compilation Prologue, meant for the American market. It was followed by Rush in 2005, an album partly produced by French producer Jean-Pierre Ensuque.
Johanson co-wrote and contributed vocals to The Knife's 2006 song "Marble House".[1] In the spring of 2006, he called together the musicians he had worked with on the three first albums, and January 2007 saw the release of their collaborative effort The Long Term Physical Effects Are Not Yet Known. A tour in promotion of the album kicked off in China and continued to more than thirty cities around the world.
Johanson's eighth studio album Spellbound was released on 2 May 2011.[2] "Dilemma" was released as the album's lead single on 11 March 2011.[3]
On 3 March 2017, "You'll Miss Me When I'm Gone" was released via iTunes as the first single from Johanson's upcoming album Bury The Hatchet, due 15 September 2017 on 29 Music. [4]
Finally
Jay-Jay Johanson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We've been together so long
Finally finally finally
A feeling a feeling that's real
I couldn't lie to my momma
Moments escaping from hell
Finally finally blood on the leaves
We crying screaming don't leave
I got my swag know that these
Niggas ain't feeling me know that
These niggas when they see me
I put the fear in them I know these
Niggas they fearing me I know these
Pussy ass niggas they fearing me
In Jay-Jay Johanson's song "Finally," the lyrics convey a sense of relief and empowerment after a period of struggle and emotional turmoil. The singer begins by stating that they were running away from someone, possibly an oppressive or toxic relationship that has consumed them for a long time. However, the word "finally" is repeated several times, indicating a sense of liberation and newfound freedom from this situation.
The lyrics suggest that the singer, who may have been hiding their true feelings or living in denial, can no longer deceive themselves or their loved ones. They admit to not being able to lie to their mother, symbolizing a need for honesty and authenticity. The line "moments escaping from hell" implies that the relationship was filled with pain and suffering, and finally, the singer can break free from it.
The reference to "blood on the leaves" might allude to the consequences or aftermath of the relationship, highlighting the emotional scars incurred. The crying and screaming signify the intense emotions involved in the process of separation. The lyrics shift towards assertiveness, as the singer claims to have the remedy, possibly hinting at a newfound strength to heal and move on from the past. The mention of fear in the latter half of the lyrics suggests that the singer's newfound confidence and power are intimidating to those who have caused harm or doubted them.

Tonight I was running from you
I was trying to escape from you tonight
We've been together so long
We have been in a relationship for a significant amount of time
Finally finally finally
At last, after a long wait
A feeling a feeling that's real
An authentic and genuine emotion
I couldn't lie to my momma
I couldn't deceive my mother
Moments escaping from hell
Precious moments getting away from a difficult situation
Finally finally blood on the leaves
Finally, there is evidence of the consequences
We crying screaming don't leave
We are desperately expressing our emotions, afraid of being abandoned
I got the remedy I got the remedy
I have the solution to the problem
I got my swag know that these
I have my own unique style and others should recognize it
Niggas ain't feeling me know that
Some people don't understand or appreciate me
These niggas when they see me
When these individuals encounter me
I put the fear in them I know these
I instill fear in them, I am aware of this
Niggas they fearing me I know these
These people are intimidated by me, I am aware of it
Pussy ass niggas they fearing me
Cowardly individuals are scared of me

Finally we’re all alone
All the guests have now gone home
This party was the best
Our apartment is a mess
I take care of it tomorrow
Finally we can relax
Lay your head upon my lap
You were an excellent host
Oh they loved you the most
You were the star of the show
Finally darling we don’t need to rush
And nothing can ruin this moment for us, oh no
Finally we’re all alone
All the guests have now gone home
I see you yawning my dear
It’s already morning
I can hear the town waking up
Finally it’s you and me
Would you like a cup of tea
There are dishes everywhere
Broken glass so take care
This sure was an evening to remember
Finally darling where do we begin
Open the window let the morning air in
Oh dear
Finally we’re all alone
All the guests have now gone home
All the bottles empty now
And we’re out of cigarettes
Oh I guess we need to feed the cats

I follow him from the very beginning.
This superbe song is a concentration of trip hop, classical music and music from the French 60’s. He is genius.
