SIGN UP TO NEWS AND UPDATES FROM LYKKE LI

I had some kind of complete meltdown on Marks&Spencer in Glasgow on one of those very rare days off while on route. For various reasons, various hardships sneaked up on me and I was standing at an isle contemplating life and death and the struggles of being an artist/soul/woman/human being when the overbearingness sneaked up on me like Batman himself. I fell to the floor and so did the raspberries I had in my hand, the troubled breathing lead to some severe lumbago which ment I couldn't move and had to lay straight for a few days. In a valium haze I took a flight back to my loved ones where a strong man cracked my holy spine loose and I was soon able to walk again. Little did I know it was my troubled hip joint that was the problem in the first place, so had to go back to a horizontal mode. My body then decided Easter was the perfect time to let a god damn flu blossom out, so I spent the whole easter praying to God to get better, drinking ginger tea while watching Apocalypse Now wishing nothing more then that I could have been on that stage with you.



I am really sorry for not being able to perform but I will make it up to you as soon as I possibly can, which is probably announced today already.



Happy late Easter apologies.



Had some unexpected time on my hands so more philosophizing will follow.



In the meantime:



Rilke: No feeling is final.

Simone: Don't give people what they want but what they need.

Someone: If you want answers, never ask questions.





Love always and truly.

PS. Video to Sadness is A Blessing is coming very shortly. From one heart to another.

      Been in a whirlwind, singing, stomping. Forgive my ranting but I am insanely jet lagged. Drived to LAX at 5 am yesterday morning, stopped for some espresso and a homeless man told me he liked my shoes. Asked a lady if I should check in my hatbox, she said not, planes can't be trusted. Yes mam. Almost missed my plane in New York but made it thanks to my brand new sneakers.

     Wide awake on the plane, watched Gran Torino. My lord, Clint Eastwood is on fire! I think I could be him when I get older. Off course they misplaced my luggage in New York so I'm now back in grey, windy, ice cold Stockholm with a very spartanic outfit. I fly to Copenhagen tomorrow to perform so I guess I will have to rely on other peoples mercy for mascara and heels.

     Oh forget my rambling, this was suppose to be a love letter to you but I don't know where to begin so I'll just continue this freewheelin' style of writing and instead give you glims off what I've gone through the last weeks. Wish I did this more often but time is simply not enough cause I feel life is important to live and not tweet about.

     I did some TV shows and you know, you always fuck up, so nervous and not vibrant enough but what can one do? I was nervous! My heart melted at Amoeba, to see all of you who actually still care enough to go buy my record was simply moving, I love you. And EL REY! What a night, I hope I made Tina proud! And then, I decided I needed a small little vacation. Been working like a maniac since God knows when.

     Los Angeles, how glad I was to be back and how sad I was to leave. Nothing makes me happier then sunshine, some jazztobacco and a spicy Kale salad. Went out to the desert for my quarterlife birthday and it was a FULL MOON! How lucky am I. Double lucky cause later that day I got to meet no other then mr David Lynch himself! I gave him my record and he said; Lykke Li, how nice to meet you. If that wasn't a moment then what is? I got evidence to prove it!

Hey Indigos!

I am as we speak arriving at a special time, the release of my second and most sacred album yet.

I have done all I could trying to fill it with as much healing powers as possible. It is no longer mine to keep so I am handling it over to you.

Here is a link to where you can buy "Wounded Rhymes":

Please handle with TLC.

Yours truly,
