RUN TO THE HILLS - Erik Grönwall (Iron Maiden Cover)

RUN TO THE HILLS - Erik Grönwall (Iron Maiden Cover)
I performed this song live when I did Swedish Idol back in 2009. I thought it was time to revisit this classic. Ladies and gents here's my version of Iron Maiden - Run To The Hills.

White man came across the sea
He brought us pain and misery
He killed our tribes, he killed our creed
He took our game for his own need
We fought him hard, we fought him well
Out on the plains we gave him hell
But many came, too much for Cree
Oh, will we ever be set free?
Riding through dust clouds and barren wastes
Galloping hard on the plains
Chasing the redskins back to their holes
Fighting them at their own game
Murder for freedom the stab in the back
Women and children are cowards, attack
Run to the hills
Run for your lives
Run to the hills
Run for your lives
Soldier blue in the barren wastes
Hunting and killing's a game
Raping the women and wasting the men
The only good Indians are tame
Selling them whiskey and taking their gold
Enslaving the young and destroying the old
Run to the hills
Run for your lives
Run to the hills
Run for your lives
Yeah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Run to the hills
Run for your lives
Run to the hills
Run for your lives
Run to the hills
Run for your lives
Run to the hills
Run for your lives

A decade of work has changed your voice into a great whiskey

I love great whiskey!

[@tonysunnansund9722]

One of swedens greatest artists. I wish you a long career and good health. You are the best Erik.

[@idde43]

ohh the memoties that came brought me back to 2009 when Eric did this song in the swedish idol.

[@simoneales2568]

Seriously really good voice , and the musicians are so good!! Awesome!

[@sherririggio4329]

Vocals - killed it , guitar - killed it , bass - killed it …. Perfect way to start my day - our blood is pumping in math class 😉🤘🏻🖤

I wish you a wonderful day!

Does that make these guys Killers? 😁🤘😎

And whomever is drumming is a beast!

[@brushvox]

Name a band where you could not fill in? Unbelievable!

[@MarkG.Sheibley]

What a voice! Full of incredible range, power, and control!

Thank you !

[@itsDannyKaye]

Watching Erik sing this song brings back so many memories! I could listen to his live performance of Run to the hills on repeat back as a teen and when my mum got tired of me blasting music I walked my dog deep into the swedish forest practicing my metal screams, trying to sound like ErikI even went to audition for idol the next year as I had decided that I must work on myself and not hold back my personality. Why not do something no one would expect like sing in front of a camera, for the first time... and ofc do it like Sweden's own Axl Rose Mr Grönwall. Yeah I had a my first reality check that day and experienced nervousness on a level I didn't know was possible. As I walked from that humiliating experience a bunch of friends had gathered and as I noticed how surprised but happy they were for me. I realized this was why I went in the first place to grow as a person and not be afraid to show people who I am. This experience shaped my life and have been a personal moto whenever I'm in doubt and to be honest I've not felt nervous about public speaking, trying new things or to be put in unknown situations. Pretty cool! Crazy how an artist can affect people and I love that I'm still a huge Erik fan and once again can I blast Run to the hills on repeat 💪 Thank you for the inspiration and amazing vocals! Peace

Wow this is such an amazing story, thank you for sharing and thank you for your kind words. As you probably know I also had a reality check and didn't make it through the second audition round in 2007. I was also denied a job at Wallmans (a restaurant where you entertain and serve the guests) 3 times in a row. I auditioned 3 times. But that's exactly what it's all about. We throw ourselves out there and we grow from the experience although it might be painful sometimes. In fact the more painful it is the more we grow and learn if we decide to approach it like that. Get back on the horse. Failure is inevitable, what really matters is what we decide to fail with. I prefer to fail while I'm having fun. Keep failing, keep growing, keep learning. I thank you for being here and for all the support through the years. You rock!

[@romeorogers9314]

[@viktormedina4631]

Can't stop replaying this. Omg. This is epic! This is killer. I actually got goosebumps listening to this. What a voice! What a band!

[@MrHydenSeek]

Most singers steer clear of this song for good reason but you nailed it.

[@tonymcnamara9368]
