Jonas Isaksson is one of the writers of the song “Med hjärtats egna ord” (English something like: With the hearts own words) which was selected to be one of the songs for the swedish competion to Melodifestivalen 2005 / Eurosong. The other writers are Tommy Lydell and Lotta Ahlin. Read about the songs selected in Aftonbladet here:

Right now I can’t remember, but has Jonas written any songs before? I think I’ve heard of one before but am I wrong?
As TDR reported earlier, Per might become one of the 4 jokers in addition to the 28 contributions selected today. Lets hope he does this, cause he will do very well.

A people’s jury made the selection of the 28 songs from a total of 3131 songs submitted to this years competion. In addition 4 jokers will be selected/invited by SVT, the TV channel to write songs. These 4 will be experienced song-writers who are well known for making hits, so Per is a natural choice. Finally Sweden’s contribution will be selected through tele-voting over several weekends, and a few songs goes to the next level, like in a sportscup. In the end one song is selected. This is good, and means that the music chosen are the favorites of the people, and not only musical experts like in the old days.
You can see the “secret” jury here:
