Molly’s voice is so distinctively recognizable as hers. I’m so happy I’ve known her music for 10+ years and so happy she’s finally getting the recognition she deserves.

I loved her before she became big! I was at a concert in Gröna Lund on the small scene! I was sad that she just wanted to preform on the small stage and not the big central one! But that was years ago, now she is singing on the big!!

[@charleslumpkin6170]

It amazes me that each live performance, she gets that run perfect EVERY TIME! How has the world not known this talented woman’s existence?!

@Boi Chuah Sang NO, it was the songwriters who won an award for My heart will go on and the song Skyfall was awarded to Adele because she WROTE the song.

Lyrics All by myself With this great big world before me But it's all for someone else I've tried and tried again To let you know just where my heart is To tell the truth and not pretend All I needed was to get away Just to realize that I was meant to stay Where the mountains sing through the screams of seagulls Where the whales can live 'cause they're gentle people In my hometown, my hometown Thought I made it clear, do I have to say it? It was always there, we just didn't see it All I need is you and me and my home Vera með þér, með þér Í Húsavík við Skjálfanda Í heim-abærinn minn You want the world (want the world) All the neon lights and billboards To be seen and to be heard And I followed you (oh-ooh) But now I know what makes me happy And I can tell you feel it too Where the mountains sing through the screams of seagulls Where the whales can live 'cause they're gentle people In my hometown, my hometown Where the northern lights burst out in colors And the magic nights surpass all others Það eina sem ég þrái er, að vera Vera með þér (vera með þér) Með þér (vera með þér) Í Húsavík við Skjálfanda My home, my hometown

I’m from a village in Alaska, and this makes me cry every time I hear it. I haven’t been back home in years. The way she describes Iceland is the same as Alaska. 👍

Molly... damn girl, I can’t begin to describe just how intense your voice rocks my heart. I’ve had 3 separate nights since I saw Eurovision where I spent them absolutely sobbing uncontrollably and if you ever saw me you wouldn’t think I’d be someone who would cry. You have the voice that I believe is the voice of an angel. Truly. Goosebumps, tears and a heart that bursts whenever I hear you sing this song. I thank you endlessly and you can bet your bottom dollar that you have my Full support for your career and I happily will continue to be apart of your journey in ever way you bestow onto us ❤️ Thank you Molly from the bottom of my Heart. You’re voice and this song unbelievably touches my soul. ❤️

[@lobothemainman4402]

this song triggers me in an incredible way. I get goosebumps everywhere and start to cry when she changes to icelandic. I made an experiment and heard it on my headphones at least 50 times in a row and my reaction is every single time the same! unbelieveable singer, unbelieveable song! I watched the movie and when II heard the song for the first time it hit me like a hammer. totally unexpected! wow!

Gosh she has the most beautiful voice I have ever heard!!!! It gives me chills. I'm so happy I discovered this artist, on a Will Ferrell movie for God's sake lol. I'm sure she'll become really popular in the States now,even though she deserved to be heard way before this movie!! Not to mention she's gorgeous! I also enjoy listening to a lot of her music even if I dont understand it haha. Her voice is AMAZING!!!! YOU'RE AMAZING. KEEP IT UP MOLLY!

[@JoakimSiegers]

She usually only sings in Swedish, that's probably why you haven't heard her before. Under the name Molly Sandén.

[@elincarlsson6388]

She travelled to the US to do work there but was told she was to fat and needed to lose weight to make it there. So she packed up and went home and wrote the song 'Freak' and 'Phoenix'. She struggled with her own self image for a time. She's competed in the Swedish ESC 'Melodifestivalen' at least 2 times I can recall. And her Swedish work are all amazing. 'Rosa himmel' 'Utan dig' 'Sand'.

[@malcolmk2878]

I don’t normally connect with this genre of music. But this talent is beyond anything I’ve heard before. It’s a wonderful song for Iceland, but this woman’s talent and emotion... wow. I would definitely pay to here her live.

[@humphrey28078]

Except she is Swedish and the song was written by Swedes.
