If Cupid’s Got A Gun, Then He’s Shooting

Kleerup featuring Lykke Li “Until We Bleed”

Lykke Li sounds tired and numb, maybe sick. She’s singing about love as if it were a poison, and in this case, it may very well be true. Andreas Kleerup’s arrangement is similarly drowsy, but his tones convey more potent emotions, adding layers of gut-wrenching anxiety, restlessness, and melancholy to the bleak lucidity of Li’s performance. It’s a heavy song, and it has the sort of intense gravity that can pull on your mood even if you’re feeling just fine and cannot relate to the situation at all. You’ve been warned.
