Consisting of Kristina Hanse… Read Full Bio ↴KRISTAL AND JONNY BOY is a Swedish pop duo.
Consisting of Kristina Hanses -voice and Jonny Eriksson - guitar and drum-machines.
Their songs range from happy-naive to mystic-melancholic and their musical philosophy and their individual expression combine acoustic singer-songwriter styles with electronic elements and dancing.
Always interspersed with the unexpected - creative sound ideas and spontaneous vocal experiments and dance moves.
Some lyrics are a figment of poetic imagination, while some words draw a very realistic picture of Kristina´s being, turning her inside out.
Jonny neither thinks, composes nor lives in just one direction, but in many directions and its extensions. He is not only a guitar player but a real meal electromaniac, solder, screwing and composing his own mechanic music machine in his livingroom.
Their songs have to find out for themselves if they are asking questions or searching for answers.
Kristina shows her creative inner conflict and her free spirit not only in her music, but also through her whole artistic path. She not only amazes as a musician but also with her superior skills in dancing. She performs the disturbing beauty of her contemporary dancing on stages all over Europe since 3 years. And this abstract power of contemporary dance comes to life in her music, too. Needless to say that her dancing, the movements and the physicalness are a strong inspiration for her songs.
Kristal and Jonny Boy is always so much more than just music.
Don't Let Go
Kristal and Jonny Boy Lyrics

Thought it was enough
I don't know. I don't know
You told me that you loved me
Then showed me something ugly
Was it all a lie
Should we say goodbye
Laying on your chest hear your heart beating
Don't need me, don't need me
Why won't you let me go
Broken long ago and I'm still bleeding
Wake before the sun's up for a reason
For a reason, for a reason
Why won't you let me go
Let me go
Why won't you let me go
Tell me if you wanna stay
I can sense you feel a-way
But I don't know
Maybe I should go
Don't need to say nothing to me
The spaces you're leaving between--your words and me
Is energy
Laying on your chest hear your heart beating
Telling how you feel, says you don't need me
Don't need me, don't need me
Why won't you let me go
Broken long ago and I'm still bleeding
Wake before the sun's up for a reason
For a reason, for a reason
Why won't you let me go
Let me go
Why won't you let me go
Let me go
Why won't you let me go
Gotta be cautious
Making me nauseous
Guessing your thoughts is getting too hard
Laying on your chest hear your heart beating
Telling how you feel, says you don't need me
Don't need me, don't need me
Why won't you let me go
Broken long ago and I'm still bleeding
Wake before the sun's up for a reason
For a reason, for a reason
Why won't you let me go
Let me go
Why won't you let me go
Let me go
Why won't you let it go
