Lyrics:
White noise in my head
Burning ashes on the floor
Trouble in the air
I didn’t sign up for this war
Let the fire in
All my demons from before
Cause I’m not afraid
I’m ready to explode
Like a phoenix, Like a phoenix
Like a phoenix, Like a phoenix
Like a phoenix, Like a phoenix
Gotta die to come alive
I’m, falling just to rise
Crawling just to fly
Gotta die to stay alive
I
I’m hurting just to burn
Burning to ignite
Gotta die to stay alive
Like a phoenix, Like a phoenix
Like a phoenix, Like a phoenix
Like a phoenix, Like a phoenix
Gotta die to stay alive
Hit me one more time
One two three just give me more
Cause with every strike
I’ll be stronger than before
I used to fear the night
I used to close my eyes
But now I need the dark so I can see the stars shine
I
I’m falling just to rise
Crawling just to fly
Gotta die to stay alive
I
I’m hurting just to burn
Burning to ignite
Gotta die to stay alive
Like a phoenix, Like a phoenix
Like a phoenix, Like a phoenix
Like a phoenix, Like a phoenix
Gotta die to stay alive
So watch me burn
Go feed my flame
Cause It’s my turn
To raise again
So watch me burn (Gasoline gasoline on the fire)
Go feed my flame (Gasoline gasoline on the fire)
Cause It’s my turn (Gasoline gasoline on the fire)
To fly again, again, again, again
White noice in my head
Burning ashes on the floor
I
Cause I’m falling just to rise
Crawling just to fly
Gotta die to stay alive
I
I’m hurting just to burn
Burning to ignite
Gotta die to stay alive
Like a phoenix, Like a phoenix
Like a phoenix, Like a phoenix
Like a phoenix, Like a phoenix

I'm here because of the Will Ferrell movie. Amazing singer.

[@Rossbrian1]

Same here, cant believe I never heard of her untill today her voice is absolutely amazing

[@Jimmy-rd5ig]

I liked her voice in the movie more

[@keithvincit5]

Just watched and loved Eurovision.... agree her voice is even better in the movie ... Husavik was amazing.

[@rickfairchild5254]

I want to hear her sing Jaja Ding Dong

[@HuyNguyen-ix3so]

Sameee!

[@MichaelRoach73]

Here after being brought to tears by her voice in the Eurovision movie 🥰

[@aprilnelson2971]

Weird right lol 😂 me too

[@xupux]

Swear to god me too lol. I got my Girl cracking up because I tear up every time I listen to husavic

[@evolv.e]

Molly Sandén singing Husavik 🐋🏔 instagram.com/tv/CCExVa1BCKc/?

[@pacificbase]

COMPOSER : Atli Örvarsson for Eurovision song "Husavik - Home Town"

[@craiggorman3204]

I havent seen the film yet but WOW she is amazing. I am going to watch the film tonight if possible. I am totally bewitched.

[@f.l.100]

She needs a feat. with a popular singer from the US or England to get noticed world wide. This voice and especially this woman deserves a lot more attention!

[@carpetclimber4027]

They need promotors from the US with big fat wallets to promote them. Since they don't have that, they remain quite unknown, while the US spews out music world wide that is far worse than what Sweden produces alone.

[@margueriteandersson6868]

Molly tried her Lucky in Los Angeles a few years ago. The musicindustry told her to lose weight... Molly refused!!! In LA Molly also co wrote the Jason Derulo hit song Stupid Love. But the fact that she co wrote the song were stolen from her. It took years until she got credit for her participation of making the song.

[@auhneztia2687]

Eminem would kill this

[@erectusdominatos3647]

Why? England is "B" country...in music, and USA has to much of "hip hop crap" music...but "if you do" USA maybe you be a big star...

[@erectusdominatos3647]

Why..England...nothing special in England no more...

[@andresfelipeacuriabravo]

I saw the eurovision movie and found this talent

[@twistyfish721]

[@Helena.-]

Me too she is great!

[@stacykariuki2152]

Lol, same here

[@wendyarmstrong7034]

Yes me too. Amazing voice

[@lauraagataalzani7059]

Fucking same! What a voice

[@jesuscastaneda9641]

Hopefully this Eurovision movie will push singers like Molly Sandén to get more recognition! I’ve been a fan of hers for a few years now all the way from California.

[@Rosannasfriend]

That does it. She’s officially my current favourite voice.

[@19JayBro96]

Literally cried during the end of Eurovision Song Contest 😭 What a voice for real

[@TimmyTheSnail]

I genuinely think this woman has the best voice on the planet

[@TheAndando]

I came here for Eurovision, I stayed for her talent

[@pajamparas7400]

Eurovision (Story of Fire Saga) brought me here. ❤️❤️❤️ Who’s with me?

[@juliakay6204]

I just finished watching Fire Saga and had to find out who sang for Rachel McAdams! Amazing voice and talent.

[@jrey321]

Eurovision movie brought me here. Amazing voice. 👌🏽👍🏽🔥

[@OPSS1]

[@LukasDiSparrowOfficial]

EUROVISION the movie sent me here

[@rickfairchild5254]

Jaja ding dong sent me here

[@andreareinhold8574]

Me too😊

COMPOSER : Atli Örvarsson for Eurovision song "Husavik - Home Town"

[@kareraolivier1897]

that movie sent me too

[@craiggorman3204]

I am super glad I found Molly Sandén. We had a corporate event where Will Ferrell had a session and long story short it lead me to Molly Sandén. WOW Incredible talent. WOW WOW WOW !!

[@chinu17leo]

Sending you love and blessings.u have beautiful voice . It touches the soul. Watched your movie FireSaga ... What a voice.... ❣️❣️🙏🧚😘

[@dmgerard1980]

I'm obsessed. Where was Europe hiding her all this time??

[@ZLProductions]

In Sweden

[@ZLProductions]

Also, listen to Satelites and Youniverse!

[@carpetclimber4027]

In Sweden along with 12+ musical geniuses just like her. Although they don't have the world exposure of dollar wallets from corrupt Murican music industries, promoting far less talent than Sweden alone.

[@katarinahaglund6338]

The americans wanted her to get thinner and change her image so she just left the states after 2 years.

[@erectusdominatos3647]

Maybe the nordic....

[@subhasish_lmaoo]

Dudeee. This is the most underrated song ever in the earth.😲

[@Shrey-ux7or]

If there will be any award name THE MOST UNDERRATED SONG then this song will win that award very easily.

[@mikedavis7455]

Eurovision movie brought me here... Amazing voice talent

[@dmitryrodriguez7640]

Was not a secret that Molly reached for new tops with her last releases. Honestly speaking, now it's really hard to do a choice between 'Freak' and 'Phoenix' because both the clips look really powerful and strong as the songs. It gives me shivers every time I hear it... And it also shows how it's important to let go all the complexes and causes of self-doubt. Stay strong and keep on fighting for the things that are most important for building a story of your OWN life.

[@ashleysumner9525]

I'm just...BLOWN AWAY. WHAT AN INCREDIBLE TALENT! Sharing with everyone I possibly can!

[@erectusdominatos3647]

Already a star.... Now, maybe a bigger star...

[@erectusdominatos3647]

We now that in Sweden

[@Shariffsson]

5 year later, I’m still in love with this song.

[@EncikAngkasa]

Never heard of you until you sang that beautiful song in Will Ferrell movie and your high note is exceptional..

[@_tialipovsek]

STRONG LYRICS AND SONG, AND MOLLY'S VOICE IS AMAZING!!!

[@camillesubida5029]

since Eurovision movie I am listening to Molly and I can say she's a great singer but her singing in Swedish is another level, so class 👍

[@kimmyfreak200]

her songs always tell my story... so relatable... touches my soul..she is amazing and underrated

[@carpetclimber4027]

So now you've found Molly Sandén. Now you go deeper in the rabbit hole with Loreen, Agnes, Miriam Bryant, Veronica Maggio, Darin, Laleh, September and so on if you like this kind of music. I've probably missed a dozen. All of them great singers who deserve more recognition. I'm more of a metal/ folk music fan myself, but I at least know of them.

[@raechannel4879]

i'm Malaysian & i do love to watch Eurovision Song contest every single year. i can see that there so many talented singer that the world should know about their amazing talent but they did not aware about this. i hope after they watched the movie of Eurovision song contest : the story of fire saga will make them love them the way i did.

Wow watching Eurovision the movie right now and damn, girl is good!

Molly keeps getting better and better. Amazing song, superb power vocals without need to scream. She's the best thing out of Sweden since IKEA.

[@jameshawkins6201]

Amazing voice! Great control over full range of her beautiful voice.

[@gertandersson9362]

Bra låt. Gillar symboliken Alla människors lika värde går inta att rucka på. Att man ska ha chans att komma tillbaka om man har gått vilse Tack Molly

[@derreander]

Dock är alla inte alla människor lika värda och det kommer aldrig bli så heller så länge pengar styr vår värld. För ju mer pengar du har desto mer värde har du

Good 💯 song ....MY FIVE 🤞🏻 FROM AREQUIPA 🇲🇦⚜️ in South America...love your song !

[@existentialchrisis430]

Back here 5 years later. So glad she got her moment of spotlight after the Eurovision movie. Pure magic!

[@ahuitt2me3]

as an american, had this on my spotifiy for years. didnt know she was so big until the Will ferral movie.

[@carpetclimber4027]

She isn't big, she's basically unknown, like most Swedish singers. She is far from the only hugely underrated singer from Sweden, or band.

[@martial_matters]

This woman deserves an award for Husavik and so many of her songs. Absolutely incredible... Not to mention she's gorgeous... Am I in love? Ha! But seriously, that voice is spellbinding ❤️😍🎶 never expected someone with such talent in the Eurovision movie but I'm glad she was. She deserves the recognition more than anyone!

[@davidisrael8537]

Amazing, great video and a great song. Keep up the great work!

I just can say... thank you, Molly. Thanks so much.

[@_o..o_1871]

I found Molly and this song a few years ago probably thanks to Melodifestivalen. I’m so happy that she finally gets the recognition she deserves. Well done girl!

[@danielledicksonmakeupartis6714]

Agreed!!! So happy for her 😍😍 so talented!!

[@bastardjustice]

Just goes to show we still do not know how many great singers are out there, not given a big break worldwide.

The making of a song and music video is harder than what manny of us can ever understand. But it seems to be more hard to give good credit for really hard and good work. Hopefully the person who made this song maybe one day will read this comment and fell proud over just one of many actually good comment. I love this song and video, and that I am proud to say! Keep it up Molly and have a really good luck!!!

Blev nästan tårögd av videon! Helt otroligt underbar video och låten går på repeat här hemma! Bra gjort, Molly! Du är en bra förebild för alla yngre människor där ute! :)

[@Lillis815]

mynameisjossan Det är inte hennes personliga åsikter utan de som kastar in saker i elden. Den här videon ska handla om vad olika människor vill lämna bakom sig, och just de ville kasta det i elden. Och när det gäller Barbie dockan handlar det om ett sjukt skönhetsideal, vad är så jävla fel med det?

[@Jullebulle1991]

mynameisjossan Du missar ju poängen med låtens budskap om du (och många andra) ska haka upp er på småsaker! Låten handlar om att börja om på nytt. En fågel Fenix återföds genom att brinna upp och sen födas igen genom sin egen aska. Jag lade inte ens märke till vad som kastades i elden, mer är tabletter, barbie-dockan och spritflaskan. Alla som slängde något i brasan ville ju bli av med en del av sig själva. Det är ju det som hela budskapet i låten är om! Barbie-dockan står ju helt klart för det sjuka skönhetsideal vi har (eller så ville tjejen som slängde dockan säga att "jag är stor nu och vill visa att jag inte leker med leksaker"), angående ordboken med ordet "gay" inringat, så var det ju ett homosexuellt par som kastade boken. (förövrigt så är ordet "gay" ett gammalt engelskt ord för glad). Om den politiska åsikten, så kan det ju faktiskt vara så att personen varit en del av det partiet, men sedan ändrat sig. Döm inte boken efter omslaget, säger man ju. Det är ju inte Mollys personliga åsikter som är med i videon, det är ju återigen personerna som är med i videon som kastat föremålen, för att just kasta en del av sitt liv och börja om igen!
