After Anna Bergendahl became the first Swedish contestant to ever be eliminated during the semi-finals of Eurovision, she consoled herself by trashing Dutch contestant Sieneke. Then she released an album entitled Yours Sincerely.
In The Army, her second single from the album, Bergendahl seems to have put all that behind her. She’s now singing about faith, forming armies with her friends, and going into some kind of battle for love. It makes no sense, and the draped white cloth reminds Wiwi of that scene in Safura’s video where she drowns in toilet paper (at 2:40). Anyway, enjoy!
Lyrics
It was the calm before the storm and she was taking up the torch
She saw them riding for a fall, blind to the spirit of the lord
They sold their bodies and their souls but she held on to keep her own
Cause there were something in the air
that told her just fall in the stairs
Don’t lose your faith, the light will shine on your way
and listen – don’t change your heart
The day will breaking you, stand tall
And so she builds an army with all her friends
All prepared to fight til the bitter end
and they started marching irrespectable
It’s the only dying in the name of love, love
And they were heading for the hills
She filled her caution to the wind and travelled off the beaten track
The one with shuttles of the past
Don’t lose your faith, the light will shine on your way
and listen – don’t change your heart
The day will breaking you, stand tall
And so she builds an army with all her friends
All prepared to fight til the bitter end
and they started marching irrespectable
It’s the only dying in the name of love, love
It was the calm before the storm and she was taking up the torch
She saw them riding for a fall, blind to the spirit of the lord
