Biography
Johnson is from the small town of Ängelholm in the south western part of Sweden, but the surroundings and the media compare her with the biggest stars in the music business. By the age of four, she had decided that she wanted to become an artist. She was highly encouraged by her local choir leader.
She now lives in a hunting lodge in the Western Gothlandic woods of Sweden, but also has a home in Stockholm.
As a 12-year old, she started off as vocalist in a Country & Western band, Tomboola Band, touring in Norway and Denmark. She signed eventually with EMI-Medley in Denmark and recorded an album, produced by top producer Paul Bruun. The title-track, Sugar Tree, became a hit in Denmark. In 1996, she had her first Swedish hit with Kommer tid, kommer vår”, a duet with Jan Johansen.
In 1998, she performed Kärleken är at Melodifestivalen, winning the Swedish finals and going on to represent Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest. This established Johnson as one of the prime Swedish artists. The success was followed by the hit album När hela världen ser på and a successful tour.
In mid 1999, Johnson went to L.A. to look for material for her second album. At home, she worked with Andreas Carlsson (ASCAP Writer of the Year 2000), who is known for several massive hits, the biggest , so far, being Celine Dion's That's the Way It Is. She also tried out a few local new-comers and the album Daughter of Eve was released in early 2000. It was very well received and Johnson was compared with some of the world's best artists.
In 2000, she received a platinum-record in Denmark for the sound-track Promise To Love from the Danish block-buster, "Eneste Ene". Later that year, Johnson started to collaborate with other songwriters such as Jenny Orenstein, Charlie Stefl, Mary Green [Biem Writer of the Year 2001]. This resulted in her receiving a Publishing contract in Nashville Tennessee. Consequently, in 2002 Johnson's album entitled "Good Girl" came to be with the help of producer Scott Bagget and some of Nashville’s top musicians. This album secured Johnson's artistic sound and style and once again she was extremely well received by the press in their reviews where she was described as an artist of International calibre.
In the Swedish finals of the Eurovision Song Contest 2003 she qualified at fourth place (out of 32 entries) but and her song “Crazy in Love" became a hit and received a great deal of radio play and was followed by a successful tour.
Johnson's collective "Discography" CD was released in late March 2003. It contains the 20 most popular songs since her debut in 1995. This Cd went straight into the sales charts for best selling CDs in Sweden. The single “Crazy in Love” stayed at No 1 in the Swedish Top Charts (Svensktoppen) 12 weeks consecutively and No 2 for 15 weeks. "Discography" sold Gold in Sweden and Johnson also got a Grammy for this album.
The new album "Roots and Wings" was released in November 2003, recorded and produced by Amir Aly in Sweden and by Scott Baggett in Nashville, USA. "Roots and Wings" sold gold in less than two weeks and platinum a few months later. The album "Being who you are" was released in Sweden in late March 2005 and sold gold in only a few weeks. Johnson was the host of the 2005 Swedish finals of the Eurovison Song Contest in Stockholm
Låt mig få vila i dig

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
För ur din mun
Kommer ord som kan förföra
Och förgöra
Och jag är rädd
För jag vet
Jag måste våga vara vi istället för jag
Får du mig nu
Så låt mig få vila i dig
Låt mig få lugna min själ
Allt det jag sökt i mitt liv
Har jag nu funnit i dig
Så låt mig få vila i dig
Jag är rädd
Ty ditt hus
Våran kraft som kan behaga
Och bedraga
Jag är rädd för jag vet
Jag måste visa vem jag är och vad jag vill
Får du mig här
Och jag ger dig mitt innersta jag
Så låt mig få vila i dig
Låt mig få lugna min själ
Allt det jag sökt i mitt liv
Har jag nu funnit i dig
Låt mig få vila i dig
Låt mig få vila i dig
Låt mig få lugna min själ
Låt mig få vila i dig
Låt mig få lugna min själ
Allt det jag sökt i mitt liv
Har jag nu funnit i dig
Så låt mig få vila i dig
Låt mig få vila i dig
Låt mig få lugna min själ
Låt mig få vila i dig
Låt mig få lugna min själ
In the song "Låt mig få vila i dig" (Let me find rest in you) by Jill Johnson, the lyrics express feelings of fear and vulnerability, as well as a deep desire for peace and security in a relationship.
The first verse sets the tone by expressing fear of the words coming from the other person's mouth. These words have the power to both seduce and destroy. The fear comes from knowing that in order to make the relationship work, the singer must be willing to be part of "us" instead of just focusing on themselves. However, despite the fear, they are willing to give themselves wholly, sharing their innermost thoughts and emotions.
The chorus repeats the plea to find rest in the other person, to calm the soul and find what has been sought after in life, all now found in them. It is a plea for emotional refuge and a place of peace.
The second verse continues the theme of fear, this time focusing on the way the other person's presence can both please and deceive. The fear comes from the knowledge that they must reveal themselves, showing who they truly are and what they want, in order for the relationship to thrive. "Får du mig här, och jag ger dig mitt innersta jag" (If you have me here and I give you my innermost self) emphasizes the vulnerability that comes with opening oneself up to another person.
The chorus is repeated twice more, emphasizing the longing for rest and peace in the other person's presence.
Overall, the lyrics convey a fear of vulnerability but also a deep longing for a safe haven within a relationship. The singer is willing to give their all and trust in the other person to find the peace and contentment they have been searching for in life.

You're all I ever wanted
You're all I ever dreamed
You are the one who makes me remember
All the dreams I've forgotten
And you are the one who makes me hope
You are the one that makes me smile
All my love, you wear
All my life I want to give
For you are there when no one sees me
You are there when the storm dizzy
You are there when the night scares
And you're there when the day dawns
I always want to have you near
When the years are added to the years
And what life wants us to learn
Is that the future is ours
Lalala,
When the clocks have stopped
And time seems to stand still
And you do not dare say
The man at the heart wants
Then we take each other's hands
Then we'll remember this day
And to understand what happens
Is it always you and me
For you are all I ever wanted
You're all I ever dreamed
You are the one who makes me remember
All the dreams I've forgotten
And you are the one who makes me hope
You are the one that makes me smile
All my love, you wear
All my desire, I want to give
Yes, all my love, you wear
All my life I want to give
