"if I had a heart... I could love you"

I got my hands on some Fever Ray tracks a little over a month ago and today checked out the video for the song "If I Had a Heart." I loved, loved, and love this particular song, now seeing the video for it- speechless. It captures the mood of the song perfectly. So haunting, so beautiful, there's this eerie simplicity to it (both the song and the video) and at the same time this weight and heaviness. A wonderful juxtaposition of sound, emotions, and now visuals. And oh, it doesn't hurt that the lyrics to this song is written for my life.

this will never end
cause i want more
more, give me more, give me more

this will never end
cause i want more
more, give me more, give me more

if i had a heart i could love you
if i had a voice i would sing
after the night when i wake up
i'll see what tomorrow brings

if i had a voice i would sing

dangling feet from window frame
will i ever ever reach the floor?
more, give me more, give me more

crushed and filled with all i found underneath and inside
just to come around
more, give me more, give me more
