He teamed up with childhood buddies Kristoffer Karlsson (drums), Per Bengtsson (bass) and Daniel Jenssen (guitar).

A couple of songs were recorded but the lack of a singer was in dire need to be adjusted.
They had a couple of tryouts, but no one really matched as their lead singer.
Thanks to Mikael M (a local studio technician and also a friend of the band) they got in contact with Kristoffer Bäcklund (former drummer of Sonic Syndicate) and the audition was a success.

Now the pieces seemed to fall into place, but unfortunately Daniel had to go separate ways from the band.
They were once again down to a four piece orchestra and began to write new songs.
The first three songs were caught on a shitty demo tape which reached guitarist Fredrik Strandquist, who liked what he heard and joined forces.
This was in April 2008.
A fourth song was written and the collaboration was a smash.
The band was complete.

Just a week later W.T.B made their live debut, and soon after that the recording of “Forever starts tomorrow” was a fact.
The EP, containing “As you”, “Far away from you”, “To be” and “This time”, was received with open arms by the crowds.
Releasing the songs on MySpace on the 12th of December they were played more than 10 000 times in less than a month.

A couple of months of live shows and music creativity passed and in the summer of 2009 a confident W.T.B entered the studio again.
Just as with the first EP the recordings took place at Old Pharmacy Studios in Ullared with Mikael M as technician,
and ones again it was four songs that were about to be recorded.
But during the process an acoustic version of the ballad “Don’t let go” took form, and this fifth track was recorded under the name of “Don’t let go (The Breakdown-remix)”.
An intro, which the band uses as an opener for their live shows, was also added.
The new EP was named “This you owe me” and reached the crowds in October.

As for the rest, well…
“You never know What Tomorrow Brings”

Rise Up
What Tomorrow Brings Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you ever felt just like
You're doing it again
A phase that's going over and over
You take a look within
Frustration begins to grow
A phase that's going over and over

Start screaming

To get yourself out
Inside you know what you are meant to be
Start breathing
To get yourself out
Before you start your own worst nightmare (nightmare)

Life ain't as it is,
It is what you make of it
A phase thats going over and over ('til the end)
Start to look within
To take control
You've got the power to mend your own wounds

Start screaming
To get yourself out
Inside you know what you are meant to be
Start believing
To get yourself out,
Before you end up in this nightmare

If you would stray, if you would break
Just take your time to reconsider
If you would stop, if you would drop
Just take your time to rediscover yourself
You will stray
You will break
Take your time
Start slow
Real slow
Just take your time

Start believing
To get yourself out
Start believing

If you would stray, if you would break
Just take your time to reconsider
If you would stop, if you would drop
Just take your time to rediscover yourself
You will stray
You will break
Take your time
Start slow
Real slow
Just take your time

Rise up!
Break free!
Learn to be you
Rise up!
Break free!

Learn to stay true
Just take your time

Overall Meaning

The song "Rise Up" by What Tomorrow Brings is about self-discovery and learning to take control of your own life. It starts with the lyrics, "If you ever felt just like you're doing it again, a phase that's going over and over, you take a look within, frustration begins to grow." These lines indicate that the singer is talking about a situation where someone feels stuck and like they are just repeating the same thing over and over without any progress. The next line, "Start screaming to get yourself out," is a call to action for the listener to start taking control and making changes to move forward.

The chorus further emphasizes the importance of believing in oneself and taking steps towards self-discovery. The line, "Life ain't as it is, it is what you make of it," highlights the idea that we have control over our own lives and can make the most of what we have. The recurring message of "take your time" also indicates that this process of self-discovery may not be quick or easy, but it is worth it to take the time to truly understand oneself.

The song ends on a hopeful note, with the repeated calls to "Rise up! Break free! Learn to be you! Learn to stay true!" These lines are a reminder that we all have the power to break free from our own limitations and be our true selves.
