This is the english version of my tribute song, to James Corden and his tv series Carpool Karaoke, that I performed with in the swedish pre-selection for Eurovision Song Contest. A song I wrote after my serious exhaustion collapse, in 2016, after far too much work for many years. The collapse was tough, both physically and psychologically to recover from. All stress with hectic, fully booked schedules for decades, made my body and brain, crash like a computers hard disk drive, and lot’s of anxiety followed. The desire to sing, compose and perform was completely lost. When I had recovered a bit and could start taking in dialogue's, I started watching tv streaming a bit and discovered the Carpool Karaoke programs for the first time. James and his guests made me so incredibly happy. The first episode was with Paul McCartney and then I watched episode after episode. I started feeling joy again and the passion for music was slowly returning. Something I never thought would happen. The simplicity with the sing along music in the Carpool Karaoke shows, gave me a “back to the roots“ feeling: When I kept singing continuously as a child all the way 'till I released the first vinyl record together with our 80's band, 30 years earlier. The first year after my exhaustion collapse, I was on a 100% sick leave, with all music tours and radio and tv jobs etc cancelled. I couldn't even be among people. It gave me panic anxiety. So far from my work, where I usually meet big crowds of people continuously. The love for music in it's easiest way - singing karaoke together in a car while chatting about life - James, his guests and the Carpool Karaoke programs made me wanna sing again. The Carpool Karaoke Song was the first song I wrote in years, and after my incipient recovery. Since then I started working, but in a very slow tempo the first years. Now I'm back with lot's of energy, strength, gratitude and love for music and singing again. So please join me in this happy and hearty tribute song and video to James, his guests and the fantastic Carpool Karaoke series.
