I don't know much about Lykke Li other than that she's probably Scandinavian and has a remarkable wide-eyed, open hearted innocence, even for a Scandinavian.
I think anybody who cares about their music knows that notes do things that words can't: a Bach fugue, an old Hank Williams 45, a 25-piece salsa orchestra, the calls of a drum & bass vocalist or the guitar of a hippie-chick on a corner all have sounds that move you to move.
Nerdy to the core, I loved a recent Economist article on the role of music in evolution. It starts with a Shakespeare quote, “If music be the food of love, play on, give me excess of it” and I thought of that article when I first heard this song - there is something about the motion and sound that ends up written in the air, and there is something about this song that seems to make her pretty cute.

yeah, i like her music a lot. it's very authentic.
she was in town about a month ago, but i had to work that night. apparently, her live act is awesome as well.
and i think she is indeed Scandinavian, but i read in a magazine that she calls herself a citizen of the world.
