Read additional information about the song. What do you think it is it about? • Lukas described "7 Years" as a song about his life so far and what he hopes to achieve in the future. He said that the reason the lyrics go as far as the age of 60 is because his father died at 61 and he needed to "pass it to believe it." He continued: "It's a song about growing older. I'm also coming to a realisation that being a father is the most important thing. My biggest dream is not to be some negative old dude, but to have my kids' friends say, 'You're going to visit your dad? Say hi! He's awesome.' I had a perfect father.". • Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten critic Anders Houmøller Thomsen compared the song to The Beatles' "When I'm Sixty-Four": "The ballad '7 Years' sounds like a current answer to The Beatles' 'When I'm Sixty-Four'".

  • 7 Years, Lyrics.Pdf
    7 Years by Lukas Graham Once I was seven years old. My mama told me, "Go make yourself some friends, or you'll be lonely." Once I was seven years old. It was a big, big world, but we thought we were bigger. Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker. By eleven, smoking herb and drinking burning liquor1 Never rich, so we were out to make that steady figure.2 Once I was eleven years old. My daddy told me, "Go get yourself a wife, or you'll be lonely." Once I was eleven years old. I always had that dream like my daddy before me, So I started writing songs; I started writing stories. Something about that glory just always seemed to bore me 'Cause only those I really love will ever really know me. Once I was twenty years old. My story got told Before the morning sun, when life was lonely.3 Once I was twenty years old. I only see my goals; I don't believe in failure 'Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major. I got my boys with me, at least those in favor. And if we don't meet before I leave, I hope I'll see you later. Once I was twenty years old. My story got told. I was writing about everything I saw before me. Once I was twenty years old. 1 The songwriter grew up in a community in Denmark where it was not difficult to get drugs and alcohol. 2 We were out to make that steady figure.

  • Royal Arena Copenhagen Welcomes Over 1 Million Fans in Only 20 Months
    ROYAL ARENA COPENHAGEN WELCOMES OVER 1 MILLION FANS IN ONLY 20 MONTHS COPENHAGEN (17 Sept, 2018) – Live NAtion-operAted RoyAl ArenA in CopenhAgen hAs welcomed its one millionth visitor just 20 months After opening. This landmArk milestone wAs reAched during a sold-out Jeff Lynne ELO concert lAst night. The 16,500-capacity Arena has had an incredible year with international stars like Depeche Mode, Kendrick Lamar, Sam Smith, Justin Timberlake, U2, Bon Iver and Paul McCartney on the bill. The venue opened with a trilogy of sold-out Metallica shows and events have continued ever since. Dan Hammer, CEO of Royal Arena, says: “The numbers speak for themselves. However, the credit should go to the extremely talented Danish organisers, who work hard each day to attract musical mega stars and major sporting events to Copenhagen and Royal Arena. Their efforts are world-class. “The Ice Hockey World Championship in May was a unique, profitable experience for both the city and the arena, but such events do not come to Denmark by themselves. I am sure that the event will serve as a positive example of the fact that it pays to invest resources and finances in attracting experience-driven customers. “One of the keys to our success is an extremely varied programme with many different music genres, traditional sports, e-sports, stand-up and amazing shows. I am particularly pleased that we have attracted highly coveted Danish names such as Nephew, Anden and Lukas Graham on the programme.” The Danish business community has also given the arena a warm welcome, with a total of 125 companies currently members of the Audi Club, which is Royal Arena’s commercial network.

  • President Jean-Claude Juncker Wednesday, 29 June 2016 European Commission Rue De La Loi 200 1049 Brussels Belgium
    President Jean-Claude Juncker Wednesday, 29 June 2016 European Commission Rue de la Loi 200 1049 Brussels Belgium Re. Securing a sustainable future for the European music sector Dear President Juncker, As recording artists and songwriters from across Europe and artists who regularly perform in Europe, we believe passionately in the value of music. Music is fundamental to Europe’s culture. It enriches people’s lives and contributes significantly to our economies. This is a pivotal moment for music. Consumption is exploding. Fans are listening to more music than ever before. Consumers have unprecedented opportunities to access the music they love, whenever and wherever they want to do so. But the future is jeopardised by a substantial “value gap” caused by user upload services such as Google’s YouTube that are unfairly siphoning value away from the music community and its artists and songwriters. This situation is not just harming today’s recording artists and songwriters. It threatens the survival of the next generation of creators too, and the viability and the diversity of their work. The value gap undermines the rights and revenues of those who create, invest in and own music, and distorts the market place. This is because, while music consumption is at record highs, user upload services are misusing “safe harbour” exemptions. These protections were put in place two decades ago to help develop nascent digital start-ups, but today are being misapplied to corporations that distribute and monetise our works. Right now there is a unique opportunity for Europe’s leaders to address the value gap.

  • Lukas Graham Annoncerer Ekstrakoncert På Refshaleøen I København
    2020-08-15 10:00 CEST LUKAS GRAHAM ANNONCERER EKSTRAKONCERT PÅ REFSHALEØEN I KØBENHAVN Lukas Grahams første koncert på Refshaleøen i 2021 er for længst udsolgt, men nu meddeler Lukas og bandet, at de spiller en ekstrakoncert den 13. august 2021. 'Mama Said', 'Love Someone', 'Drunk in the Morning', 'You're Not There' og '7 Years', naturligvis. Listen af ørehængere kunne blive ved,og du kender dem alle sammen. Siden debuten i 2012 har det danske band med sanger Lukas Forchhammer i front nærmest ikke set sig tilbage, men leveret det ene kæmpehit efter det andet. Ude i verden tog karrieren for alvor fart i løbet af 2016, hvor singlen '7 Years' førte an for et massivt internationalt gennembrud. Bandets internationale debutalbum gik Top 10 i 11 lande, inklusiv Top 3 placeringer i bl.a. USA, UK, Sverige og #1placeringer i Canada, Australien og Danmark, hvor albummet nu er certificeret 10xPlatin. Med den verdensomspændende succes opnåede Lukas Graham desuden hele tre amerikanske Grammy-nomineringer. Siden det internationale gennembrud i 2016 har Lukas Graham spillet på et utal af festivaler over hele verden, men ifølge Lukas selvhar han og bandet savnet at spille for det danske publikum. "Efter at have spillet mange festivaler i udlandet, kommer man til at savne at spille hjemme i København, hvor vi får lov at feste med de fans, som kender os allerbedst. Jeg glæder mig til at spille en koncert så tæt på hjem igen. Personligt tænker jeg at sejle derud i min lille kutter med familie og venner," fortæller en storsmilende Lukas Forchhammer. Bandet, som udover Lukas Forchhammer består af trommeslager Mark Falgren, har i løbet af de seneste år markeret sig som et af landets absolutte livefavoritter, og de har flere udsolgte Danmarksturnéer på bagen.
