We were, sadly, way too busy to cover this during Junior Eurovision week, but we are in love with Julia Kedhammar‘s newest single, entitled Dancing for Gold!
Julia is a Swedish girl through and through, so it’s no surprise this is another schlager track. However, it’s very electronic as well, with a bass line à la Icona Pop, written with the lyrics of old-timey Sister Sledge, and mixed with a #SELFIE riff. But no, she ain’t ranting about that scumbag Jason! She’s pumping us up for the big game!
This is the 2014 official anthem of the IFF, or International Floorball Federation. Floorball, a sport similar to hockey, is highly popular in Sweden and Finland.
“Dancing for Gold” – Julia Kedhammar Lyrics
We enter the stage
Knowing this is our sacred place
We’re reading the stars
Telling us that we will be winning the race
Come dance in the sun
Come join us, be a part of a team
Like the rest of the world
You will love feeling and sharing our dream
We are dancing for gold now
We are shining like diamonds up in the sky
You’re a part of the show now
And we are dancing to the beat of success, you and I
We’re in love with this crowd
Together we are bridges of the golden rule
Come with us and be proud
We’re all for one and one for all providing the view
Now the future looks grey
We’ll go and finding all the missing pieces again
And if there’s some things to do
Please join us in the movement where we love and don’t hate
We are dancing for gold now
We are shining like diamonds up in the sky
You’re a part of the show now
And we are dancing to the beat of success, you and I
We are dancing for gold now
We are shining like diamonds up in the sky
You’re a part of the show now
And we are dancing to the beat of success, you and I
We are dancing for gold now
We are shining like diamonds up in the sky
You’re a part of the show now
And we are dancing to the beat of success, you and I
To the beat of success, you and I
To the beat of success, you and I
love it
Cool 🙂
