Upon recording a few songs at a local studio, she decided to send the demos to three record companies, with no special expectations. Soon Sony Sweden gave her a phone call and offered her a record deal. At this stage, she had never played in front of an audience. Sophie started to record her self-titled debut album in 1995. The album was produced and arranged by Lars Halapi, a long time collaborator who has subsequently worked on all her material.
She was awarded a Grammy at the Swedish Grammy awards as Best Newcomer in 1995, she was also nominated for Best Female Pop Singer. Her album managed Gold status both in Sweden and Japan. After promoting her debut in the US, she finally started to work on her new album in the Autumn of 1997. This second effort entitled Precious Burden came the following year. Since the turbulence of the first album release, Zelmani has started saying no to interviews and only embarks on tour for short periods of time.
The third, fourth and fifth albums, Time to Kill (1999), Sing and Dance (2002) and Love Affair (2003) quickly followed. Ten years after her debut she released a best-of album titled A Decade Of Dreams which also included two new tracks.
Further albums released after this 'best of' are: Memory Loves You (2007), The Ocean and Me (2008), I'm The Rain, (2010), Soul (2011).
Zelmani has also contributed music to the TV series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Dawson's Creek". Her cover of Bob Dylan's "Most Of The Time" appears on the soundtrack to "Masked and Anonymous", and also on the album Cohen - The Scandinavian Report.
Her song "Stand By" appeared in the film "Independence Day" (1996). Her song "Always You" appeared in the film "My Best Friend's Wedding" (1997).
Memory loves you
Sophie Zelmani Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Still warm after the glow
The stones are too soft to throw
Memory loves you
The sadness has got new tears
Now they're falling gently on the grown
Memory loves you
Memory loves you
The escape has lost its ways
It ended deep in my own cave (Nothing left to do)
So what belongs will stay (Memories of you)
Memory loves you
Memory loves you
Memory loves you
Memory loves you
The lyrics to Sophie Zelmani's song "Memory loves you" embody the feeling of nostalgia and reminiscing on a past love. The opening lines "So tender are my thoughts of you, still warm after the glow" suggest that the memories of the love they had are still very much alive and cherished, despite the fact that the relationship may have ended. The line "the stones are too soft to throw" implies that no harsh words or actions were exchanged between the two lovers, and that the memories are peaceful and kind.
The second verse, "the sadness has got new tears, now they're falling gently on the ground, so invisible and clear," suggests that even after a period of time has passed, the memories still have the power to evoke feelings of sadness and tears. The phrase "invisible and clear" is particularly poignant, as it implies that the memories are intangible, yet still very real and vivid.
The final verse, "the escape has lost its ways, it ended deep in my own cave, so what belongs will stay," suggests that the idea of moving on or forgetting the past love is no longer an option. The memories are deeply ingrained and cannot be escaped. The repetition of the phrase "memory loves you" throughout the song underscores this sentiment, as if the memory of the love is leaving its mark on the person forever.

Любовь тоже может быть одиночеством
Кому как захочется.
Страдать по ночам загадочно,
Счастье звездой в ладонь падает.
Слезой горючей
скатится,
Любовью страстной
покажется,
Цветком по весне
Распущенным,
Ветром вольным
В поле отпущенный,
И ароматом духов дорогих
Дурманящим
Подушке одной
Свой секрет
Доверяешь ты.

Tak czułe są moje myśli o tobie
Jeszcze ciepłe po żarliwości
Kamienie są zbyt miękkie aby rzucić
Wspomnienia cię kochają
Smutek ma nowe łzy
Teraz opadają delikatnie na dorosłość
Tak niewidocznie i jasno
Wspomnienia cię kochają
Wspomnienia cię kochają
Ucieczka traci swoją drogę (Ty też straciłeś)
Skończyło się głęboko w mojej jaskini (Nic nie pozostało do wykończenia)
Tak więc należy się zatrzymać (Wspomnienia z tobą)
Pamięć cię kocha
Pamięć cię kocha
Pamięć cię kocha
Pamięć cię kocha
