In 2002, Melody Club received a record deal that marked their breakthrough in the music industry. Their song "Palace Station" achieved considerable success, especially in Germany, cementing their position in the industry. This single served as the breakthrough they needed and was followed by the release of their debut album, "Music Machine," which achieved gold certification. The album's success led to a European tour, further expanding their reach and popularity.
Melody Club's musical style can be characterized as a fusion of synthpop and glam rock. Their single "Fever Fever" was featured on the soundtrack of the football video game "FIFA 08" by EA Sports. On April 22, 2009, they released their fifth and first self-produced album, "Goodbye to Romance."
In 2010, drummer Andy A left the group in protest against their participation in Melodifestivalen 2011. He was subsequently replaced by the original drummer, Richard Ankers. Melody Club participated in Melodifestivalen 2011, the Swedish selection for the Eurovision Song Contest that year. They competed in the fourth semi-final on February 26, 2011, performing the song "The Hunter" at the Malmö Arena in Malmö, where they finished in 7th place.
Sweet Thing
Melody Club Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Though I know it'll cause you pain
It will cause you pain
It's wicked and cruel
Only you can make it sane
You make it sane
And I'm surrounded by your glory
You sweet thing
Changing my world to something gorgeous
I gave you my world
Though I know it'll make you hurt
It'll make you hurt
Love isn't kind
It's ruthless and blind and oh so hard to find
So hard to find
The lyrics to Melody Club's song "Sweet Thing" are a powerful expression of the complex emotions that come with giving yourself fully to someone else, despite the potential for pain and uncertainty. The opening line, "I gave you my world" speaks to the intensity of the singer's love and their willingness to sacrifice everything for their beloved, even if it means causing them pain.
The second verse offers a disturbingly ambivalent perspective on love, suggesting that while it may be "ruthless and blind and oh so hard to find," it is also something that the singer feels compelled to seek out, regardless of the consequences. This tension between the beauty and the brutality of love is further emphasized in the chorus, where the singer acknowledges the ways in which their lover has transformed their world into something "gorgeous," even as they recognize the inevitable hurt that is likely to come with such intense feelings.
