Profile
Trying hard to make a stand with everything i am
I know that this will be a very obscure band for anyone outside of Sweden but when I started thinking about what other tribute pet that I could make, H.e.a.t immediately came to mind. I have loved this band and their sound ever since I first heard their entry for the Swedish music competition Melodifestivalen. It’s where we have a lot of artists and bands compete for the honor of representing Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest. We do this every year over the course of six weeks. For four weeks in a row we have competitions every Saturday where a number of artists/bands compete for the votes of the Swedish viewers. Two of the songs get to go directly to the final, and two of the songs get a 2nd chance to qualify for said final. And on the 14th of February 2009 H.e.a.t took the stage in the 3rd competition that year. The song they performed was called 1000 Miles and it qualified for the final. They ended up in 7th place in the final, but for me they had secured a solid, and permanent, place in my heart. I have loved the sound of 80s glam metal (or poodle rock as we like to call it here in Sweden) for a long time. My real love for it probably solidified in the early 00s, but before that I had always had songs from the genre that I really liked. Especially the rock ballads. But as Bon Jovi struck it big again with their song It’s My Life in the year 2000 my eyes, and ears, were really opened up for this genre. And I haven’t stopped loving it since then. So, when H.e.a.t came into my life with their modern take on this genre that I loved I was more than happy to embrace them wholeheartedly.To make a lasting memory
With six albums under their belt to date there are a lot of songs to listen to, and I can honestly say that there isn’t a single song that I dislike. But there are certainly ones that stand out more than others to me. So, there is going to be an extensive list of honorable mentions before we get to my top ten songs by this band. Without further ado here are the honorable mentions: There For You, Never Let Go, Cry, Feel It Again, Bring the Stars, You’re Lying, Bastard of Society, Black Night, I Can’t Look the Other Way, Shelter, Danger Road, Stay, Nobody Loves You (Like I Do), I Know What It Takes, High On Love, Who Will Stop the Rain, Breaking the Silence, Falling Down, Better Off Alone, In And Out of Trouble, Need Her, Heartbreaker, Shot At Redemption, Inferno, All the Nights, Laughing At Tomorrow, Shit City, Blind Leads the Blind, Come Clean, Victory, Adrenaline, One By One, Heaven Must Have Won An Angel and Under the Gun.To be one with time and space forever
In tenth place we have Living On the Run. This is a song with a pretty classic H.e.a.t sound, which is part of the reason for me liking it as much as I do. But, a common theme among the top ten songs will also be that I like the lyrics a bit more in these songs than in the honorable mentions. And this song is a perfect example of that.
Next on my list we have Follow Me. This is a ballad, and as I mentioned in the beginning I have liked rock ballads for quite some time. And this is a great ballad with nice lyrics, and some great guitars. And just great music in general. I also really like how it builds up to the chorus and then really soars during it to then go back to being mellow for the verses.
In eighth place we have Keep On Dreaming, which to me is almost like a middle ground between a ballad and one of their really fast songs. Again though, great lyrics and overall sound.
Next up we have the song that started it all for me, 1000 Miles. There’s certainly a lot of nostalgia for me when it comes to this song, which makes it stand out to me. But I also really like the strong beginning of the song. And I have to say that I really love Kenny Leckremo’s voice. I’m certainly happy that he’s coming back to the band after a few years apart from them. There’s also a great guitar bit in this song that I love.
Okay, in sixth place we have Dangerous Ground. This is from their latest album, where they return to more of a classic H.e.a.t sound. Which I love. This is just a fast and fun song. With a great rock sound to it.And so I'm reaching out for someone to love me
On to the top 5 now. And in fifth place we have Eye For An Eye. Not only does this song have a nice and heavy sound, but it also has great lyrics. I especially love the first bit of the chorus that basically goes Doesn’t matter who you are, if you take an eye for an eye, you’ll make the world go blind. Which is so very true. You can’t always keep fighting fire with fire.
In fourth place I have put Straight For Your Heart. Back to the first album they released, we have another fast and fun song. The reason for this one ending up this high on my list is purely down to the chorus. And that it's a very catchy song.Everybody needs to find their way
Alright, now the top 3. Getting real close to the top now, aren’t we? Well, in third place we have Everybody Wants To Be Someone. Another ballad. This one tops the previous ballad on my list because it’s just more beautiful. And has more impactful lyrics to me. And that’s something that always stood out to me with the rock ballads that I’ve liked to this day. They all have lyrics that make me feel something. Whether that be happiness, sadness or hope doesn’t really matter. As long as I get the feels.
The runner up now then. In second place I have We’re Gonna Make It To the End. Right off the bat it has such a nice sound in the beginning of the song. And I love the finger snapping sound in the beginning of the first verse. And this is another one that has a great build-up to the chorus. A chorus that just makes me happy to listen to. As does the rest of the song. It’s just filled with hope.
Now, for the first place. My number one favorite song with this wonderful band is Beg Beg Beg. It is fast, it is fun. Just 100% pure perfection to me. Kenny’s rock voice is just so perfect too in this. And I will always love a great rock voice. I can listen to this song on repeat all day long and never tire of it. Or tire of singing along to it.Everybody wants to be someone
Now, I’ve mentioned Kenny already. And the fact that he hasn’t been with the band the whole time. He was with them from the start in 2007 until 2010. He then returned in 2020 and is now their lead singer again, which I’m very happy about.
During the 10 years that he wasn’t there they had another lead singer. A guy by the name of Erik Grönwall. Now, I might not love his voice as much as Kenny’s, but that doesn’t mean that he was bad in any sense of the word at all. Quite the contrary. I really liked him as well. He has a nice rock voice, but Kenny just takes the cake for me.Don’t let it slip away
Glam metal is just such a force of nature to me. It’s fast, fun and pretty darn crazy at times. But that’s the 80s for you. It’s a genre that oozes what I love about the decade that I was born in. It is just unapologetically fun. So, when modern bands choose to embrace the sound of glam metal like H.e.a.t has done I will welcome them with open arms, and an open heart. I hope that they carry on for many years to come and that they keep creating awesome songs for me to listen to and sing along to ♥️Before my life is over, won't let it slip away
