Frans If I were Sorry | Sweden | Melodifestivalen 2016

Frans Jeppsson Wall fick sitt genombrott när han enbart 7 år gammal sjöng “Who's da Man“ till Zlatan Ibrahimovics ära. 10 år senare gjorde han comeback som 17 år gammal och vann hela Melodifestivalen 2016 med låten “If I Were Sorry“! – Låten är en twisted kärlekshistoria med temat att man kommit över någon. Det är upp till personen som lyssnar på den att tolka det till sina egna erfarenheter. Lugnt tempo, genre får ni se, säger Frans. Hur scenshowen kommer att bli är än så länge hemligt. – Det enda jag kan säga är att det kan bli lite unikt om vi genomför de planer vi har just nu. Sedan får man se, säger Frans. Förutom Frans själv har Oscar Fogelström, Michael Saxell och Fredrik Andersson skrivit “If I Were Sorry“. Alla tre har erfarenhet av Melodifestivalen sedan tidigare, där Fogelström skrev musiken till mellanakterna 2004 och 2005, Saxell komponerade Gladys del Pilars bidrag “Det vackraste jag vet“ 1994 och Andersson skrev Björn Ranelids omtalade låt “Mirakel“ 2012. Texten: If I Were Sorry I'd crawl thru the desert on my hands and knees rehearsin my pretty please climb the highest mountain if I were sorry Shout it from the top swim under water until my lungs exploded walk into the fire if I were sorry I'd run a thousand mile wouldn't stop until I dropped wouldnt take a break to breathe until I got close enough Then I'd do it all again if I really had the chance but I know deep inside for you it's just another dance If I were sorry I'd give you all the glory if I were sorry If I were sorry it would be a different story If I were sorry if I were sorry oh I'd hold my breath until my face turned blue I'd rob a bank and the post office too swim across the ocean if I were sorry I'd take wow of silence I wouldn't say a single word until you really heard if I were sorry I'd run a thousand miles wouldn't stop until I dropped wouldn't take the break to breathe until I got close enough If I were sorry I'd give you all the glory if I were sorry If I were sorry it would be a different story if I were sorry oh Now did you ever realize that your mistake had a prize oh you threw it all away cuz you're the devil in disguise Now would you ever realize the consequences of your lies and would you save the falling tear or act as if there's nothing there If I were sorry if I were sorry If I were sorry if I were sorry If I were sorry I'd take a vow of silence I wouldn't say a single word if I were sorry If I were sorry I'd be on my hands and knees beggin pretty please if I were sorry but I'm not sorry no
