CLOSER SONG ARTIST SERIES
A year prior she composed and performed “Weight of The World”, the soundtrack for the HBO series Björnstad. The girl group took part in Melodifestivalen 20, with their 2011 entry “Dance Alone” making the Swedish charts.Ĭornelia has written and composed numerous songs, including Efraim Leo’s Melodifestivalen 2021 song “Best of Me”. Her career took off a few years later when she joined Love Generation. The singer made her music debut in 2008 when she auditioned for Swedish Idol. But even almost 30 years this song is still a monster.The thirty-sixth artist in our Who Is series for Eurovision 2022 is Cornelia Jakobs from Sweden.Īnna Cornelia Jakobsdotter Samuelsson, also known as Cornelia Jakobs, was born on 9th March 1992 in Stockholm, Sweden. Needless to say we ended up winning the battle. Then for the second verse I backed off and returned to bass duties and we rocked the song I must say and then closed with an impromptu jam at the end, a-la different stages, to push the song over the edge. People went nuts, but i sometimes wonder if it was because i was playing a different instrument in a different style than the other bands. We were given the last slot and did our set opening with Spirit of Radio and then our original metal/shred/hard rock originals and then I pulled out my acoustic 12-string and put in on a gracie stand and began the song. Our first performance was a battle of the bands against some other more established local teenage bands. My band does both songs, but Closer to the Heart always gets the biggest response. This and Spirit of Radio are my favorite Rush songs. This song definately presents a strong positive message without saying much at all. To me some of the most beautifully sparce lyrics ever written. In my and Alex Lifeson's opinions this is the ultimate Rush song. If those at the bottom of the latter try changing all by their lonesome, they're likely going to be out of a job, rendering it almost impossible for all but the most idealistic to feasibly "be the ones who start." If you think about it, you really can't even hold a job in many corporations, regardless of skills or educational requirements, unless you are willing to do everything that is asked, even if basic ethics and morals are compromised in doing so. unless those at the top lead by example, and #1. It is nearly impossible for the rest of the world to change for the positive and altruistic.

if we reach the evolution.Īfter the last verse, the very first is next in importance. I believe that it is a sign of an advancement in your personal growth, and this will be one of the characteristics that will mark the next great renaissance in our society. The scary thing is, those that should not be leading people, or become authority figures, do so anyway because of greed, lust for power/control etc. Unfortunately a majority of us are guilty of this, and it affects all types of people. with both the interpretation of the verse, and also the philosophy that it implies. "Looking further though, it's an attitude that many should follow: Don't grab for power just because it's there." I take this song as something very inspirational, and without a doubt, one of their finest tracks ever. Focus on what it is you do best, and think about it. Let those that can do the job better than you, do that job. Looking further though, it's an attitude that many should follow: Don't grab for power just because it's there. On the surface, it seemed like the songwriter's admission that he isn't the one to lead. This is probably the deepest part of the song. A place exists for everyone, and they need to know what that is, and do their very best in that, no matter who they may be. Media, the building blocks of society its self must reflect the desire to go forward. Those who's voices carry the most weight in things must lead others "closer to the heart."Īll things. General CommentTo be honest, I'm amazed by some of Rush's work, which reflects my personal views better than most anyone else.
