"You can still listen to my songs from 10 years ago but if you're comparing them to my music today, you'd think they're lousy-at least I think so. There's a good reason why they weren't popular back then. I'm not a particularly gifted singer or songwriter but I like to think I'm hardworking, and listeners can tell the progress I've made over my recent albums. I think my biggest change is my understanding towards music and my taste in it."

"But you loved me so once, why act out the details Not appearing to care is my last performance."

"If I could go back in time, I wouldn't change anything. To me, everything I've done for my music in the past are important lessons to learn from. I know that I didn't deserve to achieve fame in the beginning of my career, because my earlier albums were not good at all. I admit that my earlier works cannot be compared to other singers at all. Of course I would lose to them. Personally, I think that your product determines your success. Okay, I'm 35 this year, and I could be writing till I'm 50. But If I cannot write anymore good songs when I turn 40, I would probably just quit and be a hermit. I would probably be very devastated while hiding at home, but I don't want to write lousy songs. Personally, I think that an "expiration date" for an artist is determined not by others, but by the artist. Only the artist can cause his own career to end."

"Just come and listen to my songs, no need to spend money or worry."

"If I weren't doing music, I wouldn't want to do anything else. I think I would always be doing music for my entire life. Unless one day, when I feel I can't write any more good songs, I will disappear. But right now, it would be too difficult for me to leave music. I got very excited whenever I write good song lyrics, I just go ..."Wha-!" I get especially excited whenever I write something good. I get so happy that I would even wake people up for it. I would shake my father like this and tell him to take a look at my lyrics, because he likes to hear my work too."

"It hasn't snowed in Shanghai for more than ten years Yet it suddenly snowed the moment you left."

"This structure, prevents the equally distributed sunlight from shining through."

"Doing variety shows is to make money, and the ultimate goal of making money is to return to making music."

"Recorded songs and live stages are two different things. One is responsible for the people who are willing to wear headphones for you, the responsibility is repeated listening.

"Like the wind Even the clouds descend when you are near."

"With people sinking countless times why is there still a boat travelling thousands of miles."

"No one can become a puppet It's just a process of evading emotions."

"...ar det ju viktigt att låtarna inte innehöll för många ord på “p”, eftersom det gav ett poppande ljud. “K” var inte heller så poppis. Däremot var “u” en bra bokstav och så gärna mycket vokaler i texterna..."

"I, I've got no fear of flyin' high 'Cause high above the rainbow, my sun's gonna shine And nothing can happen as long as you're mine So I'll make my landing alive"

"Kenneth Gärdestad var en bra kille, en bra människa och en textförfattare som jag verkligen såg upp till."

"Jag vill inte att minnet av Ted [Gärdestad] förknippas för mycket med hans sjukdom utan också hur positiv han var. Han kunde ju göra det här trots rösterna han hörde. Han sade ibland att han skulle ställa rösterna inför rätta, de skulle stå till svars för grejerna de gjorde mot honom."

"Baby you light up my world like nobody else, The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed."

"If only you saw what I could see, You'll understand why I want you so desperately. Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe You don't know-o-ow, You don't know you're beautiful."

"So c-come on, you got it wrong; To prove I'm right I put it in a so-o-ong."

"I've got a fire for a heart, I'm not scared of the dark, You've never seen it looks so easy."

"Shadows come with the pain that you're running from love was something you've never heard enough."

"My hands your hands tied up like two ships drifting weightless waves tryna break it I'd do anything to save it. Why is it so hard to save it?"

"Everybody wanna steal my girl"

"Let's go crazy-crazy-crazy till we see the sun. I know we only met but let's pretend it's love."

"You don't really want my heart No, you just like to know you can still be the one who gets it breaking You only want me when I'm taken."

"Oh, I just wanna show you off to all of my friends. Make them drool down their chinny-chin-chins. Baby be mine tonight, mine tonight, baby be mine tonight yeah."

"So get out, get out, get out of my head, And fall into my arms instead. I don't-I don't don't know what it is; But you've got that one thing."

"So please don't make this any harder we can't take this any farther and I know there's nothing that I want to change."

"Said her name was Georgia Rose And her daddy was a dentist. Said I had a dirty mouth, But she kissed me like she meant it."

"Shot me out of the sky; You're my kryptonite."

"Oh baby baby don't you know you got what I need; Looking so good from your head to your feet."

"Someday you’re gonna see the things that I see"

"You can do magic. You can have anything that you desire. Magic, and you know You're the one who can put out the fire.You know darn well When you cast your spell you will get your way. When you hypnotize with your eyes, A heart of stone can turn to clay."

"Hold me close. You turn nighttime into day. And you're the most Brightest star that lights my way.So come home to me now. 'Cause it won't matter anyhow. I've got this feeling that today's the day. I've got this feeling today's the day."

"Well I tried to make it Sunday, but I got so damn depressed That I set my sights on Monday and I got myself undressed. I ain't ready for the altar but I do agree there's times When a woman sure can be a friend of mine.Well, I keep on thinkin' 'bout you, Sister Golden Hair surprise. And I just can't live without you; can't you see it in my eyes? I been one poor correspondent, and I been too, too hard to find But it doesn't mean you ain't been on my mind."

"This is for all the lonely people Thinking that life has passed them by. Don't give up until you drink from the silver cup And ride that highway in the sky.This is for all the single people Thinking that love has left them dry. Don't give up until you drink from the silver cup You never know until you try."

"Amber cascades all over today. Then we walk on a crooked catwalk Only to be delayed. Bubbles of blue burst into two Eaten up by the incoming tide Of the new.Then we call to the man who walks on the water. We talk of a plan to stop all the slaughter in view. It's in view."

"Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide. Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side. All your life You were on your own."

"Ventura Highway in the sunshine. Where the days are longer The nights are stronger than moonshine. You're gonna go I know.'Cause the free wind is blowin' through your hair. And the days surround your daylight there. Seasons crying no despair Alligator lizards in the air, in the air."
