Ólafur Arnalds - So Close (feat. Arnór Dan)

At first it was the rhythm that drew me in ~ as so often is the case. Then it was the haunting quality of Arnór Dan's voice, the searching, the reaching for something just out of grasp. So close, it seems, and jet so far. Ólafur Arnalds' music frequently has a drifting dreamlike quality to it that makes it perfect for a dreary time ...



Through dark and light I fight to be
So close
Shadows and lies mask you from me
So close
Bathe my skin, the darkness within
So close
The war of our lives no one can win

The missing piece I yearn to find
So close
Please clear the anguish from my mind
So close
But when the truth of you comes clear
So close
I wish my life I'd never come here
So close

Through dark and light I fight to be
So close
Shadows and lies mask you from me
