Just looking back at what I’ve listened to the past year, I listen to Zero 7 and Royksopp the most. Maybe it’s the haunting melodies, the amazing sound engineering, or maybe I’m just lost in cheap delirium, I’m really not sure why I’m so immensely attracted to this sound. My ears will literally crave this music. I do know part of the symbiosis is that my vocal quality matches some of the female session artists both of the bands employ. I guess it’s just my inner Scandi showing.
Here’s one of my favorite songs, Home, from their 2nd album, When It Falls. The song is sung by Danish singer/songwriter, Tina Dico.
Wrapped in silent elegance
Beautifully broken down
As illusions burst
Too late to learn from experience
Too late to wonder how
To finish first
