Story
Original artist: Helen Sjoholm
Vocals, piano, bass, flute: Victoria Lye
Drums: Jannik Schubert
This song is from the Swedish film “As It Is In Heaven”. With his genuine love for music and for people, the man who appeared in the village to direct a choir helped the inhabitants to rethink their life and gave them courage to take steps to make it better.
One of those people was Gabriella, who took a decision to change her life, to care more for herself and to go for what she really wanted.
I’ve been singing this song with the wind orchestra for the last three years. I also play flute in this orchestra. From there I know Jannik Schubert who is playing drums and percussion in the songs of this EP. We recorded the drums in October 2019 in the same room where we rehearse with the orchestra every Friday.

Lyrics
Gabriellas sång
Det är nu som livet är mitt
Jag har fått en stund här på jorden
Och min längtan har fört mig hit
Det jag saknat och det jag fått
Det är ändå vägen jag valt
Min förtröstan långt bort om orden
Som har visat en liten bit
Av den himmel jag aldrig nått
Jag vill känna att jag lever
All den tid jag har ska jag leva som jag vill
Jag vill känna att jag lever
Veta att jag räcker till
(Oh, oh, oh…)
Jag har aldrig glömt vem jag var
Jag har bara låtit det sova
Kanske hade jag inget val
Bara viljan att finnas kvar
Jag vill leva lycklig
För att jag är jag
Kunna vara stark och fri
Se hur natten går mot dag
Jag är här
Och mitt liv är bara mitt
Och den himmel jag trodde fanns
Ska jag hitta där nånstans
Jag vill känna att jag levt mitt liv
Gabriella’s Song
It is now that this life is mine
I’ve had a few moments on this earth
And my longing has brought me here
What I missed and what I had
It’s still the way I have chosen
My confidence far beyond words
As it’s been shown a little bit
From the sky I haven’t reached
I want to feel like I’m alive
All the time I have
I’m going to live how I want
I want to feel like I’m alive
Knowing what I have left
I haven’t forgotten who I was
I just let it sleep
Maybe I had no choice
Just a desire to remain
I want to live happily
Because I’m myself
Able to be strong and free
See how the night goes to day
I’m here
And my life is only mine
And the heavens I believed were there
I should find it there somewhere
I want to feel like I lived my life
