Having troubles telling how I feel But I can dance, dance and dance

Artist- Lykke Li
Song of the day- Dance, Dance, Dance

Two things I learned tonight. Lykke Li puts on an amazing show. And Lykke Li is as she puts it in this song shy, shy, shy but can dance, dance, dance. After seeing three concerts almost back to back in the last few days it's interesting what you can learn about a person, especially artists who actually puts their souls on display to perfect strangers for about two hours a night. It is what I love about live music and the idea of live performing and what terrifies me about it. As a shy / fairly private person myself I can understand the appeal and the need to connect with people in a way you can't in normal life. What I write in a song I could never actually admit to in regular conversation but sharing it with a crowd of people is both horror and like a therapeutic release. And in the past couple days I"ve seen musicians get a high from it, become used to it, and both shy away and reveal everything at the same time. Because when it comes down to it, there are some things you can't say, but some things you can only dance, or you know, play a kazoo to. So for all the things you shy, shy, shy away from, this is for you.



Having troubles telling how I feel
But I can dance, dance and dance
Couldn't possibly tell you how I mean
But I can dance, dance, dance
So when I trip on my feet
Look at the beat
The words are, written in the sand
When I'm shaking my hips
Look for the swing
The words are, written in the air
Dance
I was a dancer all along
Dance, dance, dance
Words can never make up for what you do
Easy conversations, there's no such thing
No I'm shy, shy, shy
My hips they lie 'cause in reality I'm shy, shy, shy
But when I trip on my feet
Look at the ground
The words are, written in the dust
When I'm shaking my hips
Look for the swing
The words are written in the air
Dance
I was a dancer all along
Dance, dance, dance
Words can never make up for what you do
Dance, dance, dance
