Melissa got a guitar at the age of 15, it was not long before she wrote her first song in Swedish. She came into the music program at the high school and before she had gone out of second ring tone, first record deal was signed and the tale got its start.
After school started filming of Melissa's first songs, during the time she had the opportunity to accompany the opening act on Peter Lemarcs awaited tour in 2007. In spring 2008 debut album finished and 'Långa nätter' (Long Nights) was released. The album opened up to a large audience that has embraced Melissa's voice and heartfelt lyrics. This is particularly noticeable on Spotify, where she has become one of Sony Sweden's most played artists.
2009 came the album 'Säg ingenting till mig' (Do Not Tell Me) which was then followed by a sold out tour around Sweden. Two years later, Melissa released third album 'Innan jag kände dig' (Before I Knew You). Both albums were recorded in the legendary Atlantis Studio and produced by Ola Gustafsson.
The fourth album, 'Om du vill vara med mig' (If You Want To Be With Me), also produced by Ola Gustafsson (Puk Recording Studios in Denmark). It was released on October 2, 2013 and went directly into the second on the Swedish album chart and # 1 on the Norwegian.
In this connection gave Melissa Horn out on a large Scandinavian tour starting in Oslo and several extraordinary performances in Norway and Sweden.
Melissa Horn's success story is one that takes place in silence. Although she is not exposed in the media in any significant way, her touring has been a success. She has also received a well-deserved recognition with nominations for Rockbjörnen (The Rock Bear) and Grammy Award and recipient of several awards, including 'Evert Taube Stipendiet' (Swedish institution for music and literary prizes) in 2012.
On November 27, 2015 released Melissa Horn's fifth album 'Jag går nu' (I Go Now) as in the spring followed up by her so far most comprehensive tour with 50 gigs around Sweden, Norway and Finland. The single 'Du går nu ' (You Go Now) is the first taster from her fifth album, described by her as a separation disc.
Under löven
Melissa Horn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
jag ligger gömd under snön
Jag har fastnat med händerna i marken
i minnet från en mardröm
Jag är så långt ifrån dig
som i ett annat land fast nära ditt
När allting verkade enkelt i mitt liv
Jag försöker men jag förlorar varje gång
antingen lämnar dom mig eller så lämnar jag dom
Jag skulle förstå om du ändrade dig
och vände om
Åren går in i varann
och jag inser att tiden är kort
Årstiderna smälter samman
Och jag vill minnas det
jag en gång glömde bort
Och du som gått vid min sida
säg mig, verkar jag tyngre nu
Jag har varit så trogen, det jag tror på
och hållit på förlåt som längtat ut
Jag försöker men jag förlorar varje gång
antingen lämnar dom mig eller så lämnar jag dom
Jag skulle förstå om du ändrade dig
och vände om
Jag försöker men jag förlorar varje gång
antingen lämnar dom mig eller så lämnar jag dom
Jag skulle förstå om du ändrade dig
och vände om
Om du lutar dig mot solen
om jag lutar mig mot dig
Jag blir bättre med tiden
om du har tålamod med mig
The song "Under löven" by Melissa Horn depicts a sense of loneliness and detachment from love and loved ones. The lyrics convey a feeling of being hidden under the leaves and snow, stuck with hands in the ground, symbolizing a state of being stuck, unable to move forward. The singer seems to be lost in memories of a nightmare from which she is unable to escape.
Throughout the lyrics, there is a sense of distance and separation from someone close, likely a lover or a friend. The singer acknowledges the difficulty of maintaining relationships, often losing people or being left behind. However, she seems to hold on to hope, asking for patience and understanding while she tries to improve herself.
The chorus repeats the idea of losing people and being left behind, but also acknowledges the possibility of understanding and turning around, asking for forgiveness and second chances.
Overall, "Under löven" is a melancholic yet beautiful song that explores the ups and downs of relationships and self-improvement.
Line by Line Meaning
Jag ligger gömd under löven
I feel hidden under the fallen leaves
jag ligger gömd under snön
I feel buried under the snow
Jag har fastnat med händerna i marken
I feel stuck with my hands in the ground
i minnet från en mardröm
due to the memories of a nightmare
Jag är så långt ifrån dig
I feel so far away from you
som i ett annat land fast nära ditt
even though I'm physically close to you like in another country
När allting verkade enkelt i mitt liv
when everything in my life seemed simple
när du kände dig utestängd från mitt
when you felt excluded from my life
Jag försöker men jag förlorar varje gång
I try but I lose every time
antingen lämnar dom mig eller så lämnar jag dom
either they leave me or I leave them
Jag skulle förstå om du ändrade dig och vände om
I would understand if you changed your mind and turned around
Åren går in i varann
the years blend into each other
och jag inser att tiden är kort
and I realize that time is short
Årstiderna smälter samman
the seasons merge together
Och jag vill minnas det
and I want to remember it
jag en gång glömde bort
that I once forgot
Och du som gått vid min sida
and you who have walked by my side
säg mig, verkar jag tyngre nu
tell me, do I seem heavier now
Jag har varit så trogen, det jag tror på
I have been so faithful to what I believe in
och hållit på förlåt som längtat ut
and held on to forgiveness that yearned to be released
Om du lutar dig mot solen
If you lean towards the sun
om jag lutar mig mot dig
if I lean towards you
Jag blir bättre med tiden
I get better in time
om du har tålamod med mig
if you have patience with me
