Sandra Oxenryd
Sandra Oxenryd (born on 1 October 1982 in Kristinehamn) is a Swedish singer who won Fame Factory in 2005.
Oxenryd is a former economics student and floorball player. Aged eleven, she started her singing career by performing on national television. At 18, she placed second in a look-alike competition, where she mirrored Swedish superstar Carola Häggkvist. After winning the Swedish Fame Factory in 2005, Sandra recorded her debut album with the largest Swedish schlager record company. An international jury decided that Sandra Oxenryd would represent Estonia at Eurovision 2006 with the song Through My Window, a song with up-tempo country-soul music. The song is written by Pearu Paulus, Ilmar Laisaar, Alar Kotkas (composers) and Jana Hallas (lyricist), the same authors who wrote the Estonian entries for 2000 ("Once in a lifetime") and 2002 ("Runaway"), which came 4th and 3rd, respectively.
Despite the song becoming a 'fan favourite', "Through My Window" only scored 28 points and finished 18th in the semi-final, therefore not qualifying for the final.

Through My Window
by: Sandra OxenrydWhen life is a road going nowhere
I'm alone though you're gonna be right here
You're my baby
When life is a road going somewhere
All alone I have to hold on to go on
I'm looking through my window
What about sun you made shine
What about rain you cried on my pillow
And maybe somebody some day
Finds a way back home but it's gonna be a long way
It's been a long day
And maybe somebody some way
Highs and lows it's always the same thing
Anyway
I'm looking through my window
What about sun you made shine
What about rain you cried on my pillow
I'm looking through my window
What about us tell me why
I still can't see where's the rainbow
I can't find the words lose my nerve
And grass just turns to stone
When all hopes are high I have my pride
Show you what I'm really like inside
