[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _
_ Hey, welcome. _ _ _
I'm going to give you a peek behind the scenes.
[Ab] _ Let's start with the dresses.
[N] Behind you _ are a few pieces [C] that I'm going to wear tonight.
_ _ Beautiful white jackets, _
_ [Cm] _ _ bought in LA. _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ This is from a Dutch [Fm] designer, Roland Kalk. _ _ _ _
[C] Very beautiful lace. _ _ _ _
_ _ [Cm] _ And this is something [Ab] _ another _ stylist made for me [D] for a typical video from The Howling.
I'm [Fm] wearing it in a different kind of combination than I usually do [Db] on the video.
_ _ And _
[Bb] _ another one from Roland Kalk, [Ab] _ actually.
_ [G] _ Gloves from [F] Jan Boulow, _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ _ _ also a Dutch [Bb] designer, very _ _ upcoming guy. _
[Ab] _ _ This [G] is normally on my door.
[F] _ _ Made by Eelco, _ [C] stage and tour manager.
_ Of course, _ my favorite _ dogs, [Ab] Dr.
Martens.
_ My makeup, I [Fm] do it this time myself.
_ _ Sometimes I [G] have a makeup artist with me, [Cm] like Borca, you probably [Db] know her.
_ _ I get a car!
[Fm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ And then one and a half hour before the show [Ab] I prepare myself, _ change my dresses [C] and everything, [Fm] and get ready.
My vocal [Cm] warm-ups, my hair and makeup.
And another nice [Dm] piece to show you.
Here [Ab] it is. _ _ _
_ This one is not.
_ Oh, look at this.
[F] _ _ _ It's a hat piece.
_ _ [Db] I bought this on this festival in [Bb] Germany.
_ _ _ And it really [Ab] suits my _ _ [G] outfit [C] to make it complete.
_ The nice works, [Db] with the jewelry on the side, [Bb] the beautiful feathers.
_ My favorite piece.
[Ab] _ _ And [G] this is a nice case to [F] put it in. _ _ _ _
Otherwise it [Fm] will get broken very easily.
[Db] _ _ _ So I'm happy with it.
_ _ [Cm] When it came in, I was like, this [C] is mine.
It's going to be my piece.
_ [Bb] My case.
Well, [Db] let's go behind the scenes [Cm] furthermore.
_ _ _ _ Backstage, on the [F] stage.
_ Let's say [D] hello _ _ [Db] _
_ _ to_ Hello boys!
Hi!
[C] Hello!
We're making a backstage Finnish film.
_ All these backstage _ Finnish film parties, _ shenanigans.
_ _ Mike was just about to wash my hair.
_ [Db] Look, he's going to wash his hair, but you have to take the cap off.
[Bb] No, no, no. _ _
Not today.
[Ab] _ _ _ Not today. _
_ [Fm] Oh, yeah. _ _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ _ Cool. _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ Splendid.
Love you, long time.
This is where [Ab] I do my stretches _ [G] _
before the [F] show.
_ _ _ Getting ready.
_ [Db] And then doing our high fives, our [Bb] handshakes.
_ Saying hello, let's do this guys.
[Ab] Hugging each other and then [G] we go on stage.
[F] Well, come on. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ Oh, that's by the way Jonas.
[Bb] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [A] _
This is where I stand behind the stage.
[D] And I do my changes, my dress [B] changes. _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Cm] Wardrobe_
How do you call [Dm] it? _ _
_ _ _ Yeah, something, [G] something.
And Ilko made a very girly kind of corner for me.
[Ab] Like a mirror and somewhere to put my [Am] cup with ginger tea. _
[F] And my microphone and [Am] my [Dm] other stuff that I need.
_ _ [C] Jewelry that I change.
_ _ And [F] sometimes when something goes wrong he [E] has like on this screen,
which now [D] you can see the _ [G] _ _
venue, the [F] theater. _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ He can also put in [C] like _ text [D] like, get off the stage.
[C] Or you have to get a new dress or a [E] different coat or something [Dm] else.
_ [D] Anyway, _ [Dm] _ _
that's that.
_ And this is how I enter the stage.
I go [D] behind here, you can see the audience over [G] there.
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ Okay, [G] and here we go.
[Dm] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [F] _ This is our theater.
_ _ [Em] _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
[A] I'll introduce you to our [G] monitor guy. _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [D]
He does my in-ear monitors.
My stage sounds.
_ _ _ And so whenever I have _ problems I go to him.
_ And tell him what I want to hear better or _ less.
[Dm] Sometimes I want to hear something less.
_ _ _ And that's what she's doing now [E] as well.
_ [F] Testing her sound on stage.
[N] _
When I go upstairs here, there are projectors from the other side
projecting [C] other stuff like Annika for instance.
_ _ _ _ _ And a total different world than _ _ _ what you would expect.
_ Like a magic world.
So I go upstairs and they project stuff.
And I'm going to be there [E] singing my song.
_ _ _ _ And Camilla will be there maybe playing the violin or Jonas playing the cello.
_ _ And the three of [Fm] us are just walking off and on _ behind the screen.
But also on that screen on [Eb] the other hand, it's also being projected on.
[Abm] So you'll get this [Db] 3D effect [E] in the end.
So [D] that's kind of pretty spectacular [E] if you see it from _ [Em] the venue.
[A] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _
This is what I see when I'm standing up here.
_ _ I can see the audience pretty clear.
_ _ _ [Dm] And what they can [C] see is all the projections [G] around me.
We make marks on the floor [Eb] where to stand.
And when Annika comes [D] walking on, _ I know I have [Eb] to stand more or less here.
So I won't [N] go through _ _ her head with my hand for instance.
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
Which I know some crew members would find very funny.
So _ _ [D] it's like measuring up _ [C] where I can go. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
Thanks for joining me on stage.
And I hope to see you next time.
[C] _ Cheerio!
