'cause i'm looking for my friend now i got you, got you

Artist- Lykke Li
Song of the day- Tonight

Have you ever had a person look at you so intensely you had to look away because you just couldn't keep their gaze? And I don't mean in the creepy getting humped on the el train kind of way, but like when you're having a conversation with someone and they look at you in a way that feels like they know every single detail about you, you can't hide at all and you didn't even really say anything. That's what this whole video feels like to me that I have a hard time watching it. There's something about that look that also works in reverse. When someone is saying something to you, maybe something deep and revealing or maybe not even anything at all on the surface but the way they look at you, you know they are being completely vulnerable to you which somehow makes you feel totally vulnerable at the same time? It's compelling but uneasy and rare enough in life that you fear it and crave it at the same time. Those intense moments when people's walls come down for just a bit. Those are the greatest and most terrifying moments in my life is to be a part of that, usually at least ha. And music kind of lives in that feeling, it thrives in it. And even if I have a hard time actually watching this video, it's why I love it. And why I'm leaving it with you for a bit while I go on my musical holiday at lollapalooza. Cuz tomorrow night she'll be singing this face to face.



watch my back so i'll make sure
you're right behind me as before
yesterday the night before tomorrow

dry my eyes so you won't know
dry my eyes so i won't show
i know you're right behind me

and don't you let me go, let me go tonight
don't you let me go, let me go tonight
don't you let me go, let me go tonight

don't you let me go, let me go tonight
don't you let me go, let me go tonight
don't you let me go, let me go tonight

you walk the surface of this town
the high heels above the ground
and high horses that we know
keep us safe until the night

you know them all, i know it all
stay put and play along
'cause i'm looking for my friend
now i got you, got you

don't you let me go, let me go tonight
don't you let me go, let me go tonight
don't you let me go, let me go tonight

don't you let me go, let me go tonight
don't you let me go, let me go tonight

don't you let me go, let me go tonight

don't you let me go, let me go tonight
don't you let me go, let me go tonight
don't you let me go, let me go tonight


i dry my eye, dry my eye
falling deeper by the hour
dry my eye. .
dry my eye, dry my eye
dont let me fall deeper now
dry my eye

don't you let me go, let me go tonight
don't you let me go, let me go tonight
don't you let me go, let me go tonight

don't you let me go, let me go tonight
don't you let me go, let me go tonight
don't you let me go, let me go tonight

don't you let me go, let me go tonight
don't you let me go, let me go tonight
don't you let me go, let me go tonight

let me go, let me go
let me go, let me go

don't you let me go, let me go tonight
don't you let me go, let me go tonight
don't you let me go, let me go tonight
