This is the song on repeat in my head this week (although sharing space with one or two others).
It always takes a while to get through a new Kent album because each song, in turn, has to become my favorite for several weeks at a time while I play it a lot, study the lyrics, and lol about Jocke's hilarioustupid metaphors, wondering things like "But why does he want to share it with himself?" and "How is a person like a dollhouse?" and "But if the problem is that he slipped out of the grip of someone's hand and drowned, then wouldn't you say that they had held on not hard enough, rather than too hard?" and "What does their breakup and the depressing view from the window have to do with Satan? I mean, a breakup is depressing, but they haven't even actually broken up and still, attributing jet trails to Satan seems a bit melodramatic, and also random, because what does he have against jets?" (I'm just kidding, Jocke! Yours are my FAVORITE pretentious lyrics! ♥)
Kent is Sweden's biggest rock band.
