Jennie Lofgren vs. Matt Cerf - Butterflies (Original Mix)

JENNIE LOFGREN - ABOUT ME!

I was born in Östersund, in the northern part of Sweden and I grew up in a little snowy suburb called Odensala. It didn’t snow all year but when I think about it, I see myself standing on the corner of my block dressed in a thick boiler-suit and moon boots. Looking up at the winter sky, silent snow flakes would land on my nose. It seemed like the rest of the world was a fuzzy dream somewhere in another galaxy or lifetime.

Growing up, I spent a lot of the time in front of my fathers piano. This was before internet and cable tv, so I couldn’t think of a better way to spend a dull Sunday afternoon than creating little pieces of music. We had a music room in our house. There we had a piano, an organ, an accordion, a broken guitar and some flutes - but my big love was the piano.At age twelve I started my first rock group with some girls in the neighborhood. I wanted to play the drums but ended up in front of the microphone. Music had become a big part of my life. I remember walking through the forest listening to a tape that I had borrowed from a friend. It was the first time I used a portable cassette player and a song called “Over & Over” started playing. I hadn’t heard anything like it before. It was so full of energy! All of a sudden I knew that I wanted to be a part of whatever that was. I wanted to be in that world. I didn’t know it then, but the female singer was Madonna.
