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 me

When 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 me

I 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 you

You’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
