Day 201 – Lykke Li – Sadness is a Blessing

I love her 1st two albums. This is a gem from her second. She has a tragic sort of tenderness to her voice, with such a melancholic grace about her that I find alluring to listen to. And I agree, although only sometimes, that ‘Sadness is a blessing’, though mostly believe it to be the most worst curse.

These scars of mine make wounded rhymes tonight
I dream of times when you were mine so I
Can keep it like a haunting
Heart beating close to mine

Sadness is a blessing
Sadness is a pearl
Sadness is my boyfriend
Oh, sadness I’m your girl
