I Need Sleep - "I Should Give Up"
This song is sung by a bleary-eyed truck. and the instruments are white and yellow, dotted and solid, lines. The truck is hungry, and looking for dogs and deer, to ask a dance. What happens when you don't sleep is a look underneath the veil of 'rest'. Feeling sick is feeling good.
Also, in a more literal sense, your submissions of music seem to be getting better all the time. Keep it up.

*****
If I were Swedish, created in 1997, and a piece of music and not a person, I might be this song. But if I were, I would sing like a girl, and I don't want to do that.
You can like it because it gets loud when it should, it's a morning anthem, it's a single. And you can hate it for the same reasons. Do what you want.
It's probably because 'harbour' is one of the few words I can decipher, but I think about being in the middle of the ocean, but having a shark-proof suit and a really good life jacket. Simultaneously in danger and safe.
The singer's name is Karin, and a fansite had this to say about her:
"they say that Karin is a small girl and a mature woman in same breath."
It's almost better when you don't know the language. Je suis désolé, je ne suis pas capable.

Lately, Sweden is kicking all kind of ass on my stereo.
