"If I Had A Heart" by Fever Ray

Song: If I Had A Heart
Artist: Fever Ray
Album: Fever Ray (2009)
Lyrics that resound:: 🎶This will never end 'cause I want more. More, give me more, give me more.🎶
Commentary:
I didn't appreciate The Knife's Silent Shout when it came out in 2006; I don't know if there was any electronic music I enjoyed at that time. After Fever Ray's self-titled debut came out in 2009, I went back and revisited their earlier work with their brother. I really like this album, but this song gets stuck in my head. Last week I was gushing about Fever Ray to a friend and then the next day this song came on in a TV show we were watching together. I squealed. Of course the music video is weird and dark like them as well.

Artist: Frida Hyvönen
Album: Crayon Angel: A Tribute to the Music of Judee Sill
Commentary: The original by Judee Sill is also pretty good; she seems like a fairly interesting musician. Frida Hyvönen does a good job with it and is pretty cool herself.
