Tilda Anvemyr is a promising talent from Sweden. She has a brand new song Orden Hänger Kvar (The words will always linger on). The song will compete in Svensktoppen Nästa Västmanland. It is composed by Ylva and Linda Persson, who have had several songs in Eurovison national selections around Europe in the last few years. Also, Peter Bengtsson was a composer and producer. Text is by Dan Attlerud. Violinist is Isabelle Andö and guitarist is Patric Skog.
With Svensktoppen Nästa Västmanland there is a semi-final which is broadcast on the radio. If Tilda progresses to the final it will be held in Vasteras on the local P4 radio station. There are P4 radio stations in all the counties/regions of Sweden. The winner of the local final will qualify for the grand event in Gothenburg and then one of the acts will make it to the Melodifestivalen. Tilda made it to the final in 2015 with In Too Deep also composed by Ylva & Linda.
Here Tilda talks to ESC Covers.com –
1. Good luck with Svensktoppen Nästa. Can you tell us about your song ‘Orden Hänger Kvar’? What is it about and what is the translation mean in English?
Thanks a lot! For me the text of the Song is about young love and that it is hard to know if it is the real LOVE or if you don’t say what you really mean The Words Will just be hanging in the air and never be told. Also that you have to be careful with what you say because words can be like a scar in your heart – they will never fade. If you translate the the title it will be something like “The words will always linger on” .
2. Where can we hear and purchase ‘Orden Hänger Kvar’?

3. You also took part in the competition in 2015 with ‘In Too Deep’. Can you tell us about that song too?
That song was about when you are so much in love that it is almost too much. You’re in too deep.
4. Have you participated in any other festivals or competitions?
I’ve been competing in many competitions around Sweden since I was 10 years old. It’s has been a very good school – I’ve learned a lot.
5. Did you ever try for Junior Eurovision?
I was one of the six finalists in the Swedish Junior Eurovision national selection in 2013. Even though I did not win I got really great feedback from Christer Björkman – it made me very happy!
6. Have you recorded any other songs? If so can you tell us about them?
I have mostly recorded covers – I love musicals so it has been a lot of those kind of songs. In the future I hope to record more songs that are really mine.
7. Have you heard the Eurovision songs this year? If so do you have a favourite?
Yes, I have. My family is totally crazy about the Eurovision! I like Australia, Russia and France but it is always different to hear the songs live – anything can happen.
Thank you Tilda…and good luck with Svensktoppen Nästa and everything else.
