Somehow, I’ve made it this far having never really paid attention to Fever Ray. Luckily, Coilhouse has shown me the error of my ways!
I’ve only heard a few songs, but am downloading the album from Amazon as I type this. My favorite song so far is ‘When I grow up’ – I’ve listened / watched the video several times already. I can’t get enough.
When I grow up
I want to be a forester
run through the moss on high heels
thats what I’ll do
throwing out a boomerang
waiting for it to come back to meWhen I grow up
I want to live near the sea
crab claws and butter so raw
that’s what I’ll have
staring at the seashell
waiting for it to embrace meI put my soul in what I do
last night I drew a funny man
with dark eyes and a air guitar
it goes way back
I never liked that sad look
from someone who wants to be loved by youYou’ve got cucumbers on your eyes
too much time spent on nothing
waiting for a moment to arise
you’re facing the ceiling
then asked to look and waiting for him to catch me
