Melodifestivalen 2022: Klara Hammarström — “Run To The Hills”
Klara Hammarström, 21, is a pop star and former competitive horse rider from Stockholm, Sweden. Her first stint with fame came when she appeared alongside her 11 siblings on the SVT show Familjen Hammarström, which followed Klara’s horse-loving family on their journey to success.
This year marks Klara’s third consecutive Melodifestivalen attempt. In 2020, she sang “Nobody”, which failed to qualify from its semi-final, then in 2021 she sang “Beat of Broken Hearts”, which placed sixth in the final.
“Run To The Hills” was written by Klara Hammarström, Jimmy “Joker” Thörnfeldt, Julie Aagaard and Anderz Wrethov.
Thörnfeldt is a familiar name amongst Eurovision fans. He also collaborated on Senhit’s “Adrenalina” and Elena Tsagrinou’s “El Diablo”, both of which made it to the Eurovision 2021 grand final.
Meanwhile, Anderz Wrethov is best known as one of the songwriters behind “Too Late For Love”, John Lundvik’s winning entry at Melfest 2019. Jimmy and Anderz also collaborated on Tusse’s “Voices”, which won the 2021 Swedish ticket to Eurovision.
Julie Aagaard, also known as Kill J, is a Swedish artist and songwriter. Aagaard also wrote “The End” for Melfest 2022 debutant Angelino, who competed against Klara in semi-final four.
What do the “Run To The Hills” lyrics mean?
“Run To The Hills” is an inspiring anthem about envisioning your goals and doing whatever you can to chase them. With lyrics like “I feel it through my body like fire tonight” and “I’m running to save my haunted soul”, Klara takes a leap of faith towards making her dreams come true.
Klara told wiwibloggs: “‘Run To The Hills’ is about chasing your dreams and not listening to the people or the voice in your head that tells you you can’t do it.
“I have always been a big dreamer, I have big goals, and I wanna tell the people out there you can just go for it. The hill is just getting bigger and bigger — the dream — if you’re not chasing it. So, if you start climbing, then it’s maybe a little bit smaller than you think in your head. I wanna inspire people to go out and do their thing.” Read More...
