"If, in your course, you don’t meet
your equal, your better,
then continue your course
firmly,
alone.
There’s no fellowship with fools."

.................I cant remember where I found it but true indeed.

I am so fucking jet lagged it hurts. Just got back from the States and then slept 18 hours straight just to spend the next 2 nights completely sleepless. So here I am in another hotelbed down south in Sweden. Sleep is no where near... Really need to cause getting up early for another day in the festival hazzle but here I am on myspace. I've told you already that Im feeling tired of the internet and its endless information stream but at this point there is actually nothing else to do.
Im debating life and its issues but non the wiser.
At the moment I just want to have a sex change and eat the world like an oyster. Have I told you this really is a mans world in many ways? Well non the wiser.

Female power.

Tickle me with a feather please miss Penelope Cruz.

Honeys. Just for the record, I'm not whining or complaining about my life on this blog or the others. I know for some people it may sound like that but believe me I'm not. I feel truly blessed to be alive and that my mind still floats like the ocean. It's just that I'm what you call Nordic and aware that the trees have scars and flaws. But I think its beatiful. Believe me, I'm not whining.

Tick tack, it's all fleeting and boom, I'm still alive. Baboom, still alive. Love is longing.

I long every minute of the day, but that don't mean I'm not living.

Hipsters and dipsters. The sun is shining and the flip flops are out. Back to the roots and back to the bottoms of bottoms where the sea is muddy. It’s not like I've only been swimming... I’m actually writing some well needed lyrics and thinking thinking thinking of the next step. All very mysterious and secret still... Anyways there is a lot going on and the summer has just begun...

Also, it’s showtime as usual so I want you to introduce my very exclusive expansive schedule below, JOIN THE CULT:

Good day fellow world members,

I’m in NY right now and the rain is finally gone, not to say that I’m safe but for now there is a little sunshine...

My life still consists of two heavy bags which I’m carrying up endless stairs, airplanes and vans. Hello personal assistant, please...

Anyways, I've been to Coachella. Wow, dream come true. The palm trees, the people, the smoke......... it was an amazing experience although my set got a bit overheated and I honestly thought I would die. But if you got to die, there couldn’t be a better way then to music, in the desert, with you guys! I was amazed that so many people came to watch my set, thank you! And thanks to my drummer, he survived. I honestly thought he was ready to go too.

After that I was off to Bermuda to do a small clubshow and some impromptu sets here and there.......... you will see some footage soon.

Bam Bam is all I say.

So now I’m in NY doing some real life investigation for new songs... We could almost call it method acting but skip the acting. All I know is that everything in life is a process and we can't always calculate the result. I’m in a very emotional state right now, trying to process the past crazy years but also trying to figure out where I stand amongst the chaos and how my poor little heart feels in the dark......

Blues blues blues baby.

Ok, enough of the talking.....I’m back on the stage soon again and I want you all to be there! Lykke Li Reunion!

Festival season!

I´d also like to mention that on my New York show 1st June at Highline Ballroom a portion of your ticket will be donated to Heritage of Pride (http://www.nycpride.org/about.html), a wholly volunteer-managed non-partisan, tax-exempt, not-for-profit corporation that organizes Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered Pride events in New York City to commemorate and celebrate the Stonewall riots......

I’m also making a visit in my hometown Stockholm where I’m doing a show with Coco Rosie at Dramaten. Wow again. Such an amazing stage, can't wait.

So my fellow myspacers / newsletterers, I hope you’re taking care of yourself and your loved ones and that you make it to some of my shows. It’s all happening right now. The dates are below.

Much love.
LL
