about

When we played the song at a festival, I introduced it as our contribution to Eurovision Song Contest. A joke that fell flat. After the gig, when people congratulated us on joining the competition, it turned out that the joke had simply been perceived as an honest announcement. Maybe not that strange, of all our songs Open Up Your Heart might be the one most compatible with Eurovision. In a good way. However, it’s a song written from a rather frustrated place, about having the guts to let go.

lyrics

How can I love you when you only turn away?
How can we change if we don’t want to change?
If you want love you must dare to be afraid
And there’s one thing I’ve been dying to say

Open up your heart

You can’t win if you keep playing it safe
You’ll never heal if you never dare to break
It feels just like we’re standing on the ledge
Longing to swim but too afraid to jump in

Open up your heart

I know that you been hurt a couple of times
And that you’ve taught your heart how to survive
But there is love to be given and received
There is love if you only let me in

Open up your heart

Grapell Stockholm, Sweden

Grapell is a band consisting of Emil Erstrand and Nils Nygårdh, two long-time friends writing love songs from a basement in Stockholm.

When listening to a Grapell song you may hear traces of classic soul, country, Beatle-esque rock and even R&B. But at the same time, you will experience something completely unique – not least through Erstrand’s heartfelt vocals.
