Song of the Day
Sway - Anna of the North [Anna of the North:] Sway, just move with me, darling I fell in love with this Norwegian singer-songwriter, Anna of the North , the instant I heard this song back in 2014. Anna makes a dreamy plea to take a moment outside of oneself and just feel. I routinely listen to it if I've had a long, stressful day, or if I'm feeling especially anxiety-ridden. It's a starry, ethereal, effervescent electro pop ballad that never fails to make me take a deep breath, take a step back from myself, and chill right the hell out. "Sway" has the power to melt even the coldest of hearts (I'm looking at you Mr. Scrooge , maybe if you'd had this song in your life you wouldn't have need goddamn ghostly ghosts to scare the shit out of you). Check out her beautiful live rendition too. In my head the song always brings up the images of a camera following a girl slowly twirling through quiet city streets at night under glowing street lamp...
