They're a Danish group who got together at the start of 2011 and their musical style is mainly pop-dance and with a taste of house. They're 16 years old and they wrote and recorded the song by their selves in a studio owned by a famous Danish musician in Denmark called "Kashmir". The vocal is called Margrethe Tang and the music is by Soeren Duedahl.

__**Why did I choose this song?**__ <span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.917969); color: #222222; display: block; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">This song means a lot to me because the artists are only 16 years old and __they achieved to be__ number 20 on the iTunes pop chart the same day they released their first and only single. They produced it themselves and kept on going even though the Danish record labels turned them down. When they got turned down by all the Danish record labels they sent their single __t th__e US and got a record deal. Just one week before the single was released they got the offer from an Australian radio channel that offered to play their song regularly. I also chose this song because the singer is my friend and she explained to me the different meanings of the song plus her voice isn't edited and she has a wonderful voice. <span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.917969); display: block;"> <span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.917969); display: block;"> <span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.917969); display: block;"> There are two different ways of interpreting this particular song: <span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.917969); display: block;"> <span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.917969); display: block;">The first one is the typical love story where she gets her heart broken because her boyfriend cheated on her. <span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.917969); display: block;"> <span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.917969); display: block;">This first point of view was the original idea of the band. It's all about how he could've paid more attention to her and treated her better because she didn't deserve to be cheated on because she has always been faithful to him. He had previously asked her to give "more" in the relationship and she tried and tried but he cheated on her either way. So her heart broke because she was working really hard on "giving more" and being more caring but it all was to keep her busy while he went out with other girls. So, after he tried to explain that it wasn't his intention to harm her __with no result she writes him this song__ **PUNCTUATION? OR 'TO NO RESULT' ?** and leaves and that is symbolising he won't hear more from her and that that song is the last thing he'll have from her, she stops trying to "give more". Then, while she's leaving the image of the guy who cheated on her doesn't stop popping out in her mind and she wants to stop thinking about it but that image just goes round and round in her head. When she gets away she lies and feels very sad given the fact that she tried really hard to improve her relationship. She falls asleep and knows that the idea will go away but not for good, it will come back whenever she wakes up again. She explains that in the song she expresses all the pain he has caused her and how terrible she feels about herself. She can't avoid the fact that, even though he cheated on her with another girl, she still is in love with him. She highlights the fact that being far away from him and hating him makes her love him even more and that she doesn't want to love him any more because she knows he'll do it again and her feelings will get hurt even more. The whole image is like this giant circle that she's trying to stay away from. She doesn't want to suffer the cyclic effects all over. ALL OVER? <span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.917969); display: block;"> <span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.917969); display: block;">The second way of seeing the song is based on Margrethe's life. <span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.917969); display: block;"> <span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.917969); display: block;">When she was a kid her parents got divorced and she didn't know much about the father until recently when he tried to contact her. At first she didn't want to know about him but finally she agreed to meet up with him. He explained that her mother didn't want him anywhere near her so he didn't come to visit her sooner. He had already built up a new family and it was quite a shocking fact to her. But then little by little they "reconnected" and their father-daughter relationship grew solid day by day to the __pint__ that they meet up every two weeks or so. So from this point of view the song is saying that her dad could've tried harder being a dad and that being a dad requires commitment. Even if the parents are divorced neither of them should under no circumstance lose touch with their children and that when he began to try to have contact with Margrethe again it was too late, it couldn't be fixed. Her heart was smashed into pieces for long years without notice of her dad and that the song expresses her anger and gives up the idea of ever talking to him again even if he tried. The lyrics express how the idea of her dad is always is on her mind and she tries to forget about it but the idea is recurring just like a circle. And then the fact that she is far away from him makes her want to have a good relationship with him again. <span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.917969); display: block;"> <span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.917969); display: block;">The actual singer changed some words to make the two stories happen in the same song. THE SINGER HERSELF ACTUALLY CHANGED SOME WORDS IN THE SONG TO MAKE BOTH INTERPRETATIONS POSSIBLE AND MEANINGFUL. <span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.917969); display: block;"> <span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.917969); display: block;">**__Conclusion__** <span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.917969); display: block;"> <span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.917969); display: block;">As a conclusion I would like to say that the double meaning of the song is basically so it means something to the audience and give them something they can relate to (like the typical love story where the girl is very upset because the boy cheated on her but she still lives him either way) but it also makes the song have meaning for the singer itself and how the song explains her story with her dad. <span style="background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.917969); display: block;">
