Biography

The Swedish indie artist Lykke Li Zachrisson (better known as Lykke Li) grabbed the attention of international bloggers in the early 2000s with a handful of catchy, retro-chic singles made available on her MySpace profile. Armed with sensuous, barely there vocals and backed up by a quirky, bass-heavy electro dance sound (courtesy of producer Björn Yttling of Peter Bjorn and John), Lykke Li released her debut EP, 2007's Little Bit Of Everything, on her own fledgling LL Recordings label. The disc's title track went on to earn a good deal of buzz among not only indie pop-centric bloggers but in the mainstream Swedish music press as well. She made her first appearance on Swedish MTV that same year, and the video for "Little Bit" was nominated for Best Video at the Swedish Grammy Awards. Soon, she signed with Atlantic for worldwide distribution of the Little Bit Of Everything EP and her first album, 2008's Youth Novels. The album proved an international success and Lykke Li increased her visibility through touring, a guest spot on Swedish producer Kleerup's debut album, and appearances on late-night television talk shows. In 2011, Lykke Li returned with her atmospheric and edgy sophomore effort "Wounded Rhymes". ~ Margaret Reges, Rovi

    Oh, I beg you, can I follow?
    Oh, I ask you, wanna always
    Be the ocean, where I unravel
    Be my only, be the water where I'm wading

    Come down from where you are and get down
    We are what we are, now we are found
    Till the sun of the prison, the guns
    We've taken all our vows, we are find
    Come on get down, come get down

    Lyrics
    Rather die in your arms than die lonesome
    Rather die half than die hollow
    The higher that I climb, the deeper I fall down
    I'm running out of time so let's dance while we're waiting
    We will live longer than I will, we will be better than I was
