Early life

His parents were travelling evangelists all over Scandinavia. Jonathan began singing at the age of one and recorded his first album with his family at age six.
Thulin and his family travelled full-time across America for three years where they sang in over five hundred churches and performed with Carman and The Gaither Vocal Band. After releasing six albums with his family, Jonathan began his solo career at sixteen releasing his first album "Immovable" which was a local success in his home town at the time, Minneapolis.[citation needed] He went onto release another album "The Epiphany Guide" in 2008.

In January, 2010, Thulin and his wife Anna moved to Los Angeles and began attending The Dream Center, which is where he met worship leader and producer Dave Hanley.

In April, 2011, Thulin, along with Press Play went on tour with Rachael Lampa, Australian artist Charmaine and Ryan Stevenson.
In July 2011, Thulin travelled to Moscow, Idaho to record his first music video "Babylon" with Neumann Films. After it released, the video created a buzz because of its cinematic approach which is very unusual in the Christian industry.

In February, 2012 Thulin began work on his sophomore effort "The White Room" which would feature Rachael Lampa, Charmaine and the folk band Elden. The album released on Oct 19, 2012 to major critical success.[citation needed]
On January 15, 2013, Thulin teamed up with Neumann Films again and released his music video for "Bombs Away" which featured and was co-written by Rachael Lampa. The YouTube video went viral and also received a tremendous amount of support from fans and critics alike.
Late summer 2013, after finishing a 2 month tour in Sweden, Jonathan's single "Dead Come to Life" Feat. Charmaine became a #1 CHR/Hot AC radio hit. It stayed at #1 for 3 weeks and was also a huge hit on Air1 Radio. Jonathan recently finished the JCTV Tour with Press Play, Manic Drive, and Silverline. He continues his touring in January next year with a living room tour in Australia and his first headlining tour in February and March. "The Dead Come to Life Tour" will feature Shine Bright Baby and Loftland .

Science Fiction
Jonathan Thulin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Flying Hans Solo when You broke through
Every force field that I had in place
Disappeared when I saw Your face
Held down by gravity 'til I saw You
You had a special something that I was pulled to
You came crashing through my atmosphere
And clouded up what once was clear
This can't be the world I'm living in
Somebody wake me up if I'm sleeping, I'm dreaming
Now, I'm outta my mind
Your love is like science fiction (Repeat)
Now I've gone from an Earthling to an astronaut
Whatever You ask of me, I give it all I've got
When I'm with You all the stars align
And I'm in love with the way You shine
In the real world that I'm living in
Being with You is like science fiction
The lyrics of Jonathan Thulin's song "Science Fiction" are about a person who felt stuck in reality until they met someone who changed their life. The person compares themselves to Han Solo, feeling as though they were on their own until this other person "broke through" their force field and made everything clear. They felt as though they were held down by gravity until they saw this special person, who clouded up what was once clear in the best way possible. The person is amazed by this new world they find themselves in and wonders if they are dreaming.
The chorus of the song repeats the line "Your love is like science fiction." The person feels as though they have gone from being an Earthling to being an astronaut, willing to give everything they have to be with this person. When they are with this person, all the stars align, and they are in love with the way they shine. The person realizes that this real world they are living in is like science fiction when they are with this special someone.
Overall, the song is about the transformative power of love and the way it can change a person's perception of reality. The use of science fiction imagery emphasizes the idea that falling in love and finding a new reality through a relationship can feel like something out of this world.
Line by Line Meaning
I was stuck in reality 'til I met You
I was living a mundane life before I met you
Flying Hans Solo when You broke through
I was living a solitary life before you came along
Every force field that I had in place
I had strong defenses up to guard myself
Disappeared when I saw Your face
When I met you, my defenses fell away
Held down by gravity 'til I saw You
I was weighed down by life before I met you
You had a special something that I was pulled to
I was drawn to your unique qualities
You came crashing through my atmosphere
You disrupted my life in a positive way
And clouded up what once was clear
You made everything in my life vibrant and colorful
This can't be the world I'm living in
My life has been transformed since I met you
Somebody wake me up if I'm sleeping, I'm dreaming
Being with you feels surreal
Now, I'm outta my mind
You have made me crazy in love
Your love is like science fiction (Repeat)
Your love is otherworldly and unbelievable
Now I've gone from an Earthling to an astronaut
Being with you has elevated me and given me a sense of adventure
Whatever You ask of me, I give it all I've got
I am committed to doing anything for you
When I'm with You all the stars align
Everything in my life falls into place when I'm with you
And I'm in love with the way You shine
I am enamored by your unique qualities
In the real world that I'm living in
Being with you feels like a fantasy in my real life
Being with You is like science fiction
Being with you is an unreal experience
