I'm a songwriter, singer and pianist from Stockholm, Sweden and I write songs in Swedish and English. Mostly acoustic pop with touches from jazz and Swedish folk. On most of my recordings my husband Magnus Grönlund plays the guitar. He's a classical guitarist and that is what gives his playing this remarkable tone quality. Our first 4-song CD "Å ena sidan" ("On the one hand") is now available at www.cdbaby.com In 2005 I've placed Top Five three times in the world wide songwriting competition Song of the Year. Two of these times I placed number one.

Story behind the song
I was inspired to write this song by a pupil I once had. She took such a great care to hide in a thick, hard shell, and she seemed to be frightened about what could be hiding inside her. I got so curious about her because in her eyes I saw a glimpse of something completely different from the black, ragged and heavily made-up surface she showed. I want to see your beautiful soul… I sang at the grand piano when the students had gone home… This song was born, and it came to be more general about hiding behind superficial needs, and about believing that the surface is the most important thing in a human being. What about the girl? Well, she started to write songs and express herself, and I got to see her personality unfold like a beautiful butterfly!
Lyrics
Show me the beauty of your soul The beauty of your soul Your pearl within In that shell of perfect skin ’Cause I know it’s somewhere there under the guise that you wear Don’t wanna see your role But the beauty of your soul Mirror, mirror on the wall Who is worthy of love of all Who will succeed and who will be blessed With the gift of perfectness The papers tell you all about superficial needs Your surface is perfect, but your inner bleeds You push and peel and shape and lift But the real you isn’t there Make a shift I wanna see your beautiful soul The beauty of your soul Your pearl within In that shell of perfect skin ’Cause I know it’s somewhere there under the guise that you wear Don’t wanna see your role But the beauty of your soul The beauty of your soul.
