Rather die in your arms, than die lonesome Rather die hard, than die hollow

Lollapalooza Edition
Artist- Lykke Li
Song of the day- Love out of lust

Probably my favorite artist of the year, Lykke Li is often known for her innocent voice and dance beats, but I think my most favorite song off her new album is today's ballad. In fact after being obsessed with her music for the last 6 months I've come to realize she writes / performs some pretty fantastic, heartbreaking, emotional, beauty of a ballad. But alas ballads aren't really an outdoors music festival scene but I'm crossing my fingers for this song. It's about the battle of settling in order to not be alone, risking too much to find love, knowing it is the greatest thing life has to offer but maybe going about all the wrong ways to find it. it's tragic, it's relatable, it's Lykke Li.



Rather die in your arms, than die lonesome
Rather die hard, than die hollow
The higher that I climb
the deeper I fall down
I'm running out of time
So let's dance while we're waiting

We will live longer than I will
We will be better than I was
We can cross rivers with our will
we can do better than I can
so dance while you can
Dance cause you must
Love out of lust
Dance while you can

Rather live out a lie than live wondering
how the fire feels while burning
for life is like a flame
and the ashes for wasting
so honey don't be afraid
to dance while we're waiting
we will live longer than I will
we will be better than I was
we can cross rivers without wind
we can do better than i can
so dance while you can
dance cause you must
love out of lust
dance while you can

so tired of waiting
come baby
so tired of waiting
come baby

we will live longer than i will
we will be better than i was
we can cross rivers with our will
we can do better than i can
we will live longer than I will
we can cross rivers with our will
we can do better than i can
so dance while you can
dance cause you must
love out of lust
so dance while you can


Love out of lust
Love out of lust
Love out of lust..
