20 years ago Andreas Johnson had a huge international hit with the single “Glorious”, which later featured on the album Liebling, and was used in a number of advertisements from companies including Volvo, Nutella and Vauxhall.
In 2006 Andreas made his debut in Melodifestivalen, and finished third with the entry ‘Sing for me’. Since then Melodifestivalen-fans have seen him regularly in the show, both as a solo artist, in a duo with Carola and as a songwriter for Yohio.

Now the 48-year old singer is back in Swedens national selection, participating in Semi Final 2 of Melodifestivalen 2019.

Lyrics:

Close you eyes and count to ten
better days will come again

We’re wildroses in the dark
I can hear your beating heart

We live for the night
We live for the day

When all lights have faded
We’re building an army of us

So trust we’re driven by lust
When all lights have faded
We’re building an army of us

Do we dream too much
We’re building an army of us

Do we dream too much
When it doesn’t seem enough

Do we dream too much
We’re building an army of us

What we built is meant to last
One step forward no step back

We’re not broken we’re just bent
Close your eyes and count to ten

We live for the night
We live for the day

When all lights have faded
We’re building an army of us

So trust we’re driven by lust
When all lights have faded
We’re building an army of us

Do we dream too much
When it doesn’t seem enough

Do we dream to0 much
We’re building an army of us

Oooohoooohoooo
Oohoooohooooo

Army of us
Oohoooohooooo

This love this love is bigger
This love this love is bigger
This love this love is bigger

Huuuuuuuh

Do we dream too much
When it doesn’t seem enough

Do we dream too much
We’re building an army of us

Oohoooohooooo
Oohoooohooooo
We’re building an army of us

Oohoooohooooo
We’re building an army of us
