Honestly... for being a 16 year old coming from nowhere to writing one the biggest hits in Sweden 2012... it's more then most teens achive... :) BTW. She still making content 2020 if you are intrested in sharing (link to her youtube channel): th-cam.com/channels/PTY7jtolzXaMoZlKnRkTqA.htmlvideos
+ Why Tho She wanted to join the Swedish "IDOL " TV competition in 2014. She wanted to make an impression on the judges on her first audition - she wanted to surprise them with a song of her own that had a "hit" potential - so she came up with this song all on her own. Needless to say that she knocked them out completely. But it was a sort of demo version - just she and her guitar. So nice to see that she was given the chance to realise her dream of turning this song into a full fledged pop song - and a desent video as well. But the winner that year in Sweden was Amanda Fondell. Check out her slow version of "Hey Ya" - one of the best performances that year.
It's 2021 now... After "accidentally" exposing myself to a(n over)dose of today's overproduced pop, I needed a shot of real music... :) So you don't need 15 songwriters - it seems you just need some talent!
I just discovered this song by accident in sept. 2024. Wow, why does it not have millions of views. It is a super well written and well performed song.
Wow - I stumbled across the audition of this on You Tube and was so taken by Moa and the passion, voice dynamics, tune and raw sincerity of this young singer who wrote the song herself, I watched it six times. I loved the judges reaction. Then I saw the text which said it went on to become a hit and I searched for it on You Tube. I knew a later episode of the Talent Show would have a mature and refined version and man, when the chorus came in with the backing and instruments, it gave me goose bumps too. The I searched for the published CD version and it was even greater still, with both studio and video alternates. I am a drummer and appreciate everything about this song including the lyrics - what a very talented 16 (Audition) -17 (recorded CD) year old Moa is. This song will be played often for year to come. All the best to this young lady for future endeavours in music and recording. Robert - Perth - Australia
The coziest song there is out there. i always listen to this when i´m out walking in the woods... 11 years after it released, which also means I heard this the first time when I was 5
"When I Held Ya" I can't afford this heart Still I am responsible If it will fall apart Believe me, I don't want to go You won't believe it's true When I tell you 'bout my feelings And what you're supposed to do I'm sorry, but I don't want to go But baby, I tell ya My heart is freaking out when I held ya Even in the best of days Love will be hard and hearts will be faking Maybe you're glistening I see it in your eyes that you're listening But do you even understand I have to let go of your hand I have to let go of your hand And then you believe in me You took me by my hand And told me that I made you free I need you I need you to know As always I just can't cry And I don't know the answer But I've always wondered why Today, I know, today 'Cause baby, I tell ya My heart is freaking out when I held ya Even in the best of days Love will be hard and hearts will be faking Maybe, you're glistening I see it in your eyes that you're listening Do you even understand I have to let go of your hand I have to let go I would like to believe you were right And if I told you Would you go there tonight 'Cause baby, I tell ya My heart is freaking out when I held ya Even in the best of days Love will be hard and hearts will be faking Maybe, you're glistening I see it in your eyes that you're listening But do you even understand I have to let go of your hand 'Cause baby, I tell ya My heart is freaking out when I held ya Even in the best of days Love will be hard and hearts will be faking Maybe, you're glistening I see it in your eyes that you're listening But do you even understand I have to let go of your hand I have to let go of your hand I have to let go of your hand, yeah I can't afford this heart Still I am responsible If it will fall apart Believe me, I don't want to go
Tyvärr så sabbade producenten hela låten för dig. Reffen å din sprickande perfekta feeling ala cranbaries röst, är totalt borta! Varför!? Så dumt på nått så bra
I'm from sweden I was watshing the tv when Idol was on👌🏼 Since then ive preformed this song maany times, I LIVE IT!!😍💗❤️❤️ Du är skig bra Moa älskar den här låten!!
Du läser förmodligen inte detta men låten har potential och tycker verkligen att du ska försöka få ut den till så många som möjligt, en lätt sak att göra
i feel the message and feeling of this song is drowned out by the many instruments. moa's voice and her guitar are all the perfect ingredients for this song. i keep ending up watching the idol-audition over and over again for the goosebumps, even after so many years :>
You may have a point with the drowning out, but I think in this particular case the third chorus isn't powerful enough compared to the second chorus. The choruses from a lyrical standpoint are absolutely fantastic, and note for note one of the best hooks ever made to be honest, but the arrangement of the song is the problem. There's not enough difference between the second and third chorus for the latter to really stand out. Take a listen yourself at 1:33 and compare it to 2:36. For the third chorus, they've basically just added some very subtle and stereo-wide backing vocals and nothing else. That won't translate well. Heck, using half of the portable audio systems on the summer beaches or midnight camp fires (where this is ment to be played) and you won't even hear those backing vocals because they are so out of phase. Left channel will just cancel the right channel out. If anything, they should have added more variation. I'm thinking a string section and some variation in Moas singing so that it is not beat for beat the same chorus. To be honest I just think they copy-pasted her vocals from the second chorus and put it in the third chorus, so you've got the exact same level of sorrow and despair in her vocals and the instruments in both choruses, when they really should have increased it in the third chorus. More glissandi, more wailing, more aaahs and ooohs, hold the notes longer, bring in the harmonica earlier, even a little more active base guitar could add emphasis to the rythm and hook, etc. You want to go from a "man this is really good" in the second chorus, to "holy friggin shieeet this is fantastic" in the third chorus.
I didn't just get goosebumps like that dude in "Idol" but I acctually got tears rolling down my cheek hearing this for the first time. Pure Genious. Brilliant !!!
I am Swedish.. When listening to this song when she stheped in to the Swedish Idol Audition 2011 and these pictures and woooooooooow. I was 19 years old that time.... Still 12 years later i can comment woooooooooow....
2024? Anyone?
Yes ❤. It moves my Heart everytime. I have always loved this song, it is an absolute banger!
Yes!
amazing! the world is so unfair..this song deserves much more popularity.
+Nitesh Nathan Share it on Facebook then... i agree, found it on old idon audition, she is fucking good:)
Agree!
She wrote it by herself when she was 16

Well i guess time, happiness and passion :)

"When I Held Ya"
I can't afford this heart
Still I am responsible
If it will fall apart
Believe me, I don't want to go
You won't believe it's true
When I tell you 'bout my feelings
And what you're supposed to do
I'm sorry, but I don't want to go
But baby, I tell ya
My heart is freaking out when I held ya
Even in the best of days
Love will be hard and hearts will be faking
Maybe you're glistening
I see it in your eyes that you're listening
But do you even understand
I have to let go of your hand
I have to let go of your hand
And then you believe in me
You took me by my hand
And told me that I made you free
I need you
I need you to know
As always I just can't cry
And I don't know the answer
But I've always wondered why
Today,
I know, today
'Cause baby, I tell ya
My heart is freaking out when I held ya
Even in the best of days
Love will be hard and hearts will be faking
Maybe, you're glistening
I see it in your eyes that you're listening
Do you even understand
I have to let go of your hand
I have to let go
I would like to believe you were right
And if I told you
Would you go there tonight
'Cause baby, I tell ya
My heart is freaking out when I held ya
Even in the best of days
Love will be hard and hearts will be faking
Maybe, you're glistening
I see it in your eyes that you're listening
But do you even understand
I have to let go of your hand
'Cause baby, I tell ya
My heart is freaking out when I held ya
Even in the best of days
Love will be hard and hearts will be faking
Maybe, you're glistening
I see it in your eyes that you're listening
But do you even understand
I have to let go of your hand
I have to let go of your hand
I have to let go of your hand, yeah
I can't afford this heart
Still I am responsible
If it will fall apart
Believe me, I don't want to go
O my god ....... your voice is so beautiful !!! I think I felt in love with your voice and you music, I love you
2023 was here. just wow!
Omg denna förtjänar att bli så vrial!!😻😻👍🏻2019 och lyssnar fortfarande på denna!skäms så jävla bra assååå
Hörde denna låt första gången när du var med i idol, jag älskar den fortfarande. Absolut en av de bästa låtarna genom tiderna
Tyvärr så sabbade producenten hela låten för dig. Reffen å din sprickande perfekta feeling ala cranbaries röst, är totalt borta! Varför!? Så dumt på nått så bra
Escreveu uma música perfeita, um HIT!! Assisti um milhão de vezes o vídeo da Audição dela...hoje vendo novamente essa Obra Prima❤❤ 2 outubro 2024😊😊
Wow Moa......det är världsklass på den här sången. Jag lyssnar på den varje dag .😊💞
I'm from sweden I was watshing the tv when Idol was on👌🏼 Since then ive preformed this song maany times, I LIVE IT!!😍💗❤️❤️ Du är skig bra Moa älskar den här låten!!
Listening it again in 2023! Moa - you are a fantastic artist!!!! ❤❤❤ Keep creating!!! 🤩
Du läser förmodligen inte detta men låten har potential och tycker verkligen att du ska försöka få ut den till så många som möjligt, en lätt sak att göra
A great song this. Don't know if it'd ever happen, but would be great for Moa to pop up in Melodifestivalen one day (and win it).
i feel the message and feeling of this song is drowned out by the many instruments.
moa's voice and her guitar are all the perfect ingredients for this song. i keep ending up watching the idol-audition over and over again for the goosebumps, even after so many years :>
Yes, crisp and clean 👌🏻

I'm so in love with this song, can listen to it over and over again! X
