The general rehearsal of the 2nd Heat of Melodifestivalen 2024 has just started. We are happy to be watching it live, at Scandinavium in Göteborg, Sweden. We will be covering this rehearsal, describing in detail what is happening during the show, for you to follow the entire process.

This article is being updated in real-time, all you need to do is hit the refresh button on your browser and all the rest is on us!

We will keep you up to date with all the latest information and images off this semi-final rehearsal, allowing you to get a glimpse of what you will get to see tomorrow February 10, at 20:00 CET, when you watch the actual show of the heat, on SVT and SVT Play.

The experts

New in Melodifestivalen this year is the participation of a couple of really knowledgeable music and Mello-experts – radio and TV profile Tina Mehrafzoon and Mello-oracle Ronny Larsson. During both the races and the final, they analyze the evening’s line-up and give their opinion on how they are doing.

The show

• “When I’m Gone” – Maria Sur

Totally different than “Never Give Up”. A POP Dance banger with a hint of melancholy! Amazing performance, crystal clear vocals, very much more improved than her rehearsals. The best I’ve seen from her, she totally feels true to herself with this performance. Love seeing this! Hopefully she will directly qualify!

---

• “Norrland”– Engmans Kapell

If you mix Swedish folk with a beat then you got Norrland. I wouldn’t say I am impressed by this kind of song. They’re very much improved and their lead singer definitely did not forget the lyrics this time. He did on one of the rehearsals. But No-No-No-No-No-No-Norrland probably will not qualify.

---

• “The Silence After You” –  Dear Sara 

A mid tempo song for Dear Sara, sounds familiar. It is sort of a ballad, could listen to it to a roadtrip. Pleasantly. That’s Sara’s best run. The crowd claps throughout her performance which is good to see. Maybe she will remain in the competition? Let’s find out tomorrow.

---

• “Ahumma” – C-Joe

Aftobeat vibes are here but in a pop way to do it! C-Joe is not very stable vocally though, he had some vocal issues with his performance during her rehearsals. A feel-good song that the crowd loved though. Would he qualify now? I am not sure, probably not.

---

• “Dragon” – LIAMOO

Now imagine LIAMOO’s kind of songs mixed with Imagine Dragons. This is epic. I don’t wanna hear anyone compare this performance to Andrew Lambrou’s last year’s entry with Cyprus. This is so much better. By far his best performance and it is 100% himself. Love to see this! Totally a DTF for me. Also a strong contender for the win. Best song of the contest so far.

---

• “Unga & fria” – Fröken Snusk

Now mix a bit of epadunk with Swedish folk, a tiny bit of Käärijä’s “it’s crazy, it’s party” but on a female Swedish version. Too much pink. Louis Vuitton balaclava is removed for the televised program. She is quite good vocally I must admit, the crowd went nuts on her. Either second DTF or goes to second round.

The Intervals

First to be inducted into the Hall of Fame this very special Melodifestivalen and Eurovision year is none other than the host Kristian Luuk, in good company with the artist and presenter Lotta Engberg – and her Fyra bugg och en Coca Cola. During the evening, we will hear the song, which was Sweden‘s entry in Eurovision 1987, in its own version signed by the artist Viktor Norén.

Björn Gustafsson is of course on stage again and explains to the audience that he cannot say what he will say tomorrow at the live show, therefore, he is now doing a 4:30 minute comedy show.

A while ago, SVT, the Swedish national broadcaster released the lyrics of all six competing songs, of this upcoming heat.

You can read the lyrics of the competing songs down below:

•  When I’m Gone – Maria Sur

You’re just like a river

Flowing through the night

Feel my body shiver

I’m so bad at goodbyes

I’ve been running all

running all

running all night

I’ve been living on

living on

living on a lie

Now I’m coming a-

coming a-

coming a-

coming alive

Coz I gave it my all

But I don’t even think of you

Now I rave on my own

And I don’t even think of you

Will you lo-o-o-o-o-o-o o-o-o-o

love me when I’m gone

Will you lo-o-o-o-o-o-o o-o-o-o

love me when I’m gone

Love me when I’m gone

I’m just like an island

Waves are rolling in

I’m aching but I’m smiling

I can’t hold it in

I’ve been running all

running all

running all night

I’ve been living on

living on

living on a lie

Now I’m coming a-

coming a-

coming a-

coming alive

Coz I gave it my all

But I don’t even think of you

Now I rave on my own

And I don’t even think of you

Will you lo-o-o-o-o-o-o o-o-o-o

love me when I’m gone

Will you lo-o-o-o-o-o-o o-o-o-o

love me when I’m gone

Love me when I’m gone

Will you love

me when I’m gone

Coz I gave it my all

But I don’t even think of you

Now I rave on my own

And I don’t even think of you

Will you lo-o-o-o-o-o-o o-o-o-o

love me when I’m gone

Will you lo-o-o-o-o-o-o o-o-o-o

love me when I’m gone

Love me when I’m gone

• Norrland – Engmans Kapell

Jag packade min ryggsäck i så unga år

För äventyret väntade någonstans

Visst blev jag fascinerad av allt nytt jag såg

Men sökte något som kanske aldrig fanns

Jag jobbade ett tag i London på en bar

Och ägaren bad mig snälla stanna kvar

Men jag sa

No-no-no-no-no-no

Norrland

Jag saknar Norrland

Jag längtar hem

Tillbaks till

No-no-no-no-no-no

Norrland

Ta mig till Norrland

Ja, ta mig hem

I djupaste Sahara i en värld av sand

Stod jag vid en oas och längtade hem

Med vinden kom en doft ifrån ett fjärran land

Men Norrlandsvinden, inget är som den

När guiden började prata om en karavan

Då tänkte jag på älvar, berg och gran

Och jag sa

No-no-no-no-no-no

Norrland

Jag saknar Norrland

Jag längtar hem

Tillbaks till

No-no-no-no-no-no

Norrland

Ta mig till Norrland

Ja, ta mig hem

Och så en dag kom jag tillbaks till Norrland

Med tomma händer stod jag där igen

Och vinden var så skön som den kan vara ibland

Det var som om den sa välkommen hem

Tillbaks till

No-no-no-no-no-no

No-no-no-no-no-no

No-no-no-no-no-no

Norrland

Jag saknar Norrland

Jag längtar hem

Tillbaks till

No-no-no-no-no-no

Norrland

Ta mig till Norrland

Ja, ta mig hem

Ta mig till Norrland

Ja, ta mig hem

Ta mig till Norrland

Ta mig hem

• The Silence After You – Dear Sara

Darkness came without warning

Now it’s worst in the morning

When the dreams dissolve

When the dreams dissolve

I’m still sick but I’m better

Started climbing the ladder

They say “don’t look down”

So I don’t look down

All eyes on you

Gonna rise up from this burning ground

Gonna raise my voice and shout it out

Cause I know you wanted me to drown

In the silence

The silence

I’ve been broken down by compromise

Gonna face the music in my eyes

Now I hear my voice is coming through

In the silence

The silence after you

I know fate will deliver

So I flow with the river

Let it carry me

Let it carry me

Gonna rise up from this burning ground

Gonna raise my voice and shout it out

Cause I know you wanted me to drown

In the silence

The silence

I’ve been broken down by compromise

Gonna face the music in my eyes

Now I hear my voice is coming through

In the silence

The silence after you

Oh-oh oh

Now I hear my voice is coming through

In the silence

The silence after you

Through the scars and the blisters

There’s a future that whispers

“Now you’re on your way”

“Now you’re on your way”

Gonna rise up from this burning ground

Gonna raise my voice and shout it out

Cause I know you wanted me to drown

In the silence

The silence

I’ve been broken down by compromise

Gonna face the music in my eyes

Now I hear my voice is coming through

In the silence

The silence after you

When you wake up in the night and feeling like you’re lonely

Just wait ’til the morning light and you won’t be down

We all wanna be alright

• Dragon – LIAMOO

I was my own

Worst enemy

But I made

My fear

My energy

I found him in the darkest cave

He told me that I should be brave

Showed me what I’m really about

No matter what happens

I won’t slay my dragon

No won’t run away

I’m breathing fire

And I’m spreading my wings

They take me higher

I finally found that I am

Not not my enemy

Not not my enemy

Not not my enemy

Cause I found my dragon

I don’t need

No aid

Or remedy

Cause I finally found

My melody

Yeah, found him in the darkest cave

He told me that I should be brave

Showed me what I’m really about

No matter what happens

I won’t slay my dragon

No

I’m breathing fire

And I’m spreading my wings

They take me higher

I finally found that I am

Not not my enemy

Not not my enemy

Not not my enemy

Cause I found my dragon

I’m breathing fire

And I’m spreading my wings

Not not my enemy

Not not my enemy

Not not my enemy

Cause I found my dragon

• Unga & fria – Fröken Snusk

Sjung en låt för sommaren

För vi är back igen

Och nu går säkringen

Vi gör historia igen

På alla ängarna

Står vi på händerna

För vi ska riva hela haket

Stampa fötterna på taket

Vi ska ropa högt så alla hör

Och vi kan göra nånting naket

Bara älska att få hatet

Ta min hand och sjung i kör

För vi ska leva varje dag

Väcka liv i hela stan

Dunka plåten och känna vi är fria

Och när morgondagen kom

Vill du bara somna om

Vi dunkade plåten och kände vi var fria

Och jag sa, du där

Kom som du är

Vi ska sjunga

Vi ska sjunga

Vi är fria

Och jag kan se dig

Vad är det med dig?

Vi ska sjunga

Vi ska sjunga

Vi är fria

Ingen täckning i vår bil

Så en kassett åker i

Med samma låt på repeat

Och det är öppna vägar här

Häng med på våran färd

Och vi kan sväva iväg

För vi ska riva hela haket

Stampa fötterna på taket

Vi ska ropa högt så alla hör

Och vi kan göra nånting naket

Bara älska att få hatet

Ta min hand och sjung i kör

För vi ska leva varje dag

Väcka liv i hela stan

Dunka plåten och känna vi är fria

Och när morgondagen kom

Vill du bara somna om

Vi dunkade plåten och kände vi var fria

Och jag sa, du där

Kom som du är

Vi ska sjunga

Vi ska sjunga

Vi är fria

Och jag kan se dig

Vad är det med dig?

Vi ska sjunga

Vi ska sjunga

Vi är fria

Här har ni vilda flickan

Som tycker om att kittlas

Och masken sitter på

Hör mig flämta

Hör mig flåsa

Alltid klädd i rosa

Det är fröken ni tittar på

För vi ska leva varje dag

Väcka liv i hela stan

Dunka plåten och känna vi är fria

Och när morgondagen kom

Vill du bara somna om

Vi dunkade plåten och kände vi var fria

Och jag sa, du där

Kom som du är

Vi ska sjunga

Vi ska sjunga

Vi är fria

Och jag kan se dig

Vad är det med dig?

Vi ska sjunga

Vi ska sjunga

Vi är fria
