Tonight
by Lykke Li
"You walk the surface of this town
The high heels above the ground
And high horses that we know
Keep us safe until the night
"

Have some more Lykke Li, you lucky devils. This song has an incredible driving rhythm and the way it builds up gets me everytime. To say anything more about it would be pointless because I can't really even begin to describe how beautiful this is.

Listen to it here!
And enjoy :)

Until We Bleed
by Kleerup (feat. Lykke Li)
"I need you to need me
So we're bound to linger on
We drink the fatal drop
Then love
until we bleed
Then fall apart in parts"

Oh yeah, I'm a bad blogger. It's been ages but with my recent plunge back into mania and what feels vaguely like either actual contentment or genuine enjoyment of day-to-day life, this may stay active for a little while.

So yes, I have quoted a little more in the lyrics department than usual but I do so adore that little section. And Lykke Li's voice is just beautiful. I got into her just recently after stumbling upon this track and then I started listening to her album quite a lot and she has got a really unusual but compelling style.

The song itself sits pretty much perfectly into a genre that I am very much into. It's basically dance but it has this bizarrely dark quality about it. I don't remember if I ever posted Operate by Peaches on here but I'd put them on the same compilation I think. Along with another track that I am bound to post soon. God, I'd totally forgotten the joys of having somewhere to record my new musical interests. Bliss.

Anyway, enough rambling for today. You can have some more tomorrow.

Listen to it here!
And enjoy :)
