From playing absolute rockabilly in the beginning, John Lindberg Trio have incorporated modern influences along the way and created a tougher sound, without losing the rockabilly style.
Combined with their tight and explosive live show, this made them one of Sweden’s most popular live acts.
John Lindberg Trio musical journey started with 13 year old John on stage with his guitar.
When Martin (double-bass) and Jocke (drums) joined later on, everything fell into place. In spite of their young age they are already widely experienced and have done more live gigs than most band do in a lifetime. The release of their debut album in 2006 was followed by a Christmas tour as supporting act for The Refreshments – and consistently became the band people talked about when the night was over. The two following albums were well received by their old fans and also generated lots of new. The band is now planning to release their fifth album in February 2011.
John Lindberg Trio journey continues, with no ending in sight.
Something Real
John Lindberg Trio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As Years go by time moves on
Even though it hurts to let it go
Night after night just slipping away
What if tomorrow could be today
There's nothing we can do to change the past
give me the chance
For one last romance
With you
Hear my prayer
My poor heart is acing
For love that your faking
Show me something real
Now Temperatures rising but it feels so cold
My heart has been broken my soul has been torn
Going down the streets we used to roam
Cause I go on dreamin' like dreamer's do
But all been forsaken love is so cruel
I feel the fire burning in my heart
Hear my prayer
Give me the chance
For one last romance
With you
Hear my prayer
My poor heart is acing
For the love that your faking
Show me something real
Hear my prayer
Give me the chance
For one last romance
With you
Hear my prayer
My poor heart is acing
For the love that your faking
Show me something real

This internal struggle is expressed through a plea for a last opportunity for love and genuine connection.

Line by Line Meaning
Lost and found but now we know
In the past, we were lost but now we have found our way
As Years go by time moves on
Time keeps moving forward as the years pass
Even though it hurts to let it go
It's painful to move on, but sometimes necessary
Night after night just slipping away
Time is passing quickly, slipping through our fingers
What if tomorrow could be today
Imagining a future where things happen now
There's nothing we can do to change the past
We must accept that we can't alter what has already happened
Now Temperatures rising but it feels so cold
Despite outward appearances, there is a coldness within
My heart has been broken my soul has been torn
Emotionally wounded and hurt deeply
Going down the streets we used to roam
Remembering the places we once explored together
Cause I go on dreamin' like dreamer's do
Continuing to dream despite being let down before
But all been forsaken love is so cruel
Feeling abandoned and hurt by love's cruelty
I feel the fire burning in my heart
Passion and longing still reside within me
For one last romance with you
Longing for a final chance at love together
My poor heart is aching for love that you're faking
Feeling pain for the false love being shown
Show me something real
Yearning for genuine emotions and connections
