Jelajahi sheet piano oleh Py Bäckman di Zen Virtual Piano. Bäckman says she was born at Karlberg Palace, where her mother worked in the mess and had staff quarters, because there was no room at the maternity ward and a doctor and a midwife came to her instead. Her spiritual foundation was laid in childhood: she read Gustaf Fröding and Dan Andersson and sang in the church choir in Iggesund. In 1957, aged nine, she joined the travelling radio program Snurran by chance, when its hosts saw her playing outside the Folkets hus in Iggesund and asked her to sing something. A birth at a palace staff residence and a chance invitation to sing outside a hall make an unusual start, with music present in her life early and a talent noticed by strangers. At seventeen, drawn by Stockholm's opportunities, she hitchhiked there with a friend, and the big car that stopped for them belonged to the Hep Stars. She played in several bands, including Songs with Basse Wickman and the girls' band NQB, and later started the Raj Montana Band with Dan Hylander in Stockholm. A teenage lift from a famous band suggests an artist who acted on instinct about when to start. Her song Stad i ljus, for which she also wrote the music, won Melodifestivalen in 1988 with Tommy Körberg, having begun as something written a little like a hymn. Over the years she wrote more lyrics but also music such as Stad i ljus, which is now in the book Psalmer i 2000-talet along with three other songs of hers. She was the group's lyricist from the beginning until the group split in 1998, and when it reunited in 2005 she declined to continue with the band. A pop contest winner that was first written like a hymn, and that later entered a hymn book, hints at a song that moved from the stage into the church, which fits how she began in a church choir. She says that if there is a common thread through her lyrics, it is existential questions about life and death. She says that she is often belittled as a woman and called capable when she has done well, as if no one expected a woman to be the author of both words and music for a superhit, but that it is not luck, it is skill. She is the only performer since 1999 to play a real instrument, the harmonica, live on the Swedish pre-selection stage, and the only Swedish artist to take part in it over five decades in a row. Lyrics about life and death hint at an artist whose public work and private concerns stay close to each other, and who refuses to be called merely capable.
