Concrete Walls
Fever Ray Lyrics

I live between concrete walls
When I took her up she was so warm
I live between concrete walls
In my arms she was so warm

Eyes are open the mouth cries
Haven't slept since summer
Eyes are open the mouth cries
Haven't slept since summer

I live between concrete walls
When I took her up she was so warm
I live between concrete walls
In my arms she was so warm

Oh, how I try
I leave the TV on and the radio
Oh, how I try
I leave the TV on and the radio

I live between concrete walls
When I took her up she was so warm
I live between concrete walls
In my arms she was so warm

I live between concrete walls
When I took her up she was so warm
I live between concrete walls
In my arms she was so warm

[Verse 1]
Eyes are open and mouth cries
Haven't slept since summer
Eyes are open and mouth cries
Haven't slept since summer

[Chorus]
I live between concrete walls
When I took her up she was so warm
I live between concrete walls
In my arms she was so warm

[Verse 2]
Oh how I try
I leave the TV on

Oh how I try
I leave the TV on
And the radio

[Chorus]
I live between concrete walls
When I took her up she was so warm
I live between concrete walls
In my arms she was so warm

nobody I know understands the beauty of this song, and actually just fever ray in general. I guess its just meant for certain people.

I love this song and Fever Ray specially. She is my guide and the light on my darkened way. And yes, she is very underrated, i think it's because people are afraid to be open- minded...

you're totally right about many people not getting it - I feel like that's because they don't take the time to think about it while listening

I love how Dreijer paints her face with creepy black lines. I've just read a description in a Swedish novel of priestesses with black "grief lines" painted starkly on their faces that make them look like deathly disir and all I could think of was Fever Ray, high priestess of them all.

πολυ ιδιαιτερο γκρουπ.!!

Kim Le

I think that the celebs finally shared that the stalker and I have never had a conversation? He's been in the background all of my life too. During my first awakening, I had all of these different memories about him surfacing in my mind, but the strange thing was that his face was actually blurred out in my memory. I believe that the first person who I contacted in regards to this mess surrounding me, was PW, who I believe was the stalker's closest friend. The neurologist told me about the stalker, but used 2 different terms for him. Most of what I know about my situation comes to me telepathically from different people. I think the neurologist said that the stalker led a meeting about me where many people from my life had been gathered. I didn't really know the neurologist. It may have been our second time speaking to each other and while he was giving me all of this information, the CIA made sure that the cardiologist witnessed this. I remember RD telling me not to speak to the docs, but to just have her speak to the docs. I thought that was a little strange. The neurologist said that the stalker was tall, dark, and handsome. He said that he was like a prince. He said that the stalker was also like the cowardly lion and a spineless jellyfish. The neurologist seemed to know the stalker really well, but also seemed to be genuinely fearful of him and told me not to tell the stalker anything that he had told me. The celebs just told everyone that they can give me lots of info telepathically and make me forget the info just as fast. I remembered wanting to ask the neurologist about something, but I didn't know what. I remembered wanting to tell my classmates at the Christmas party about what the psych instructor had said to me in his office, but I just couldn't really remember the details of what he said. I remember going home and trying to journal about what the celeb/regular person had told me, but I could only remember a few things. I remember this guy coming to my door with some pamphlet. He just stood there looking at me. I want this say that the stalker did this after he held the meeting. He's been inside of my house and has hugged me, dressed as a gorilla. It's not like a I knew that this was the stalker. He would also prank call me around age 12 and tell my sister and I that we were sexy. I remembered being very fearful of these calls and my mother called Christine's husband. Her family is pretty involved. Normally, the police can trace these calls, but Christine's husband could not. When Christine's daughter and I were about 7, we went to Chuck E. Cheese's and there was this guy who was trying to do back flips into the balls. I heard that this was the stalker. I think that I remember PW asking our teacher if he could bring his friend to the lock-in with our class. I remember N and I playing in the women's locker room for most of the night and I believe that we talked to the stalker in the sauna. I remember PW telling me that his friend had a video of me in my backyard and he didn't know how his friend had gotten this. We were 12? I think that some other classmate told me that PW's friend had a poster of me on his wall and they weren't sure how he had this. I heard that it wasn't a very good photo. I think that the CIA got the stalker to build a little shrine to me and worship me. I just remember E and the guys always talking going over to John's house. I wondered who that was and why I never got to come. I think that the CIA instructed the stalker to play flavor of the week and this was how he ended up sleeping with every other girl from my life. I think it may have been the neurologist who told me that the stalker had to keep a notebook about all of the girls and guys that he slept with--how many times, who, what the experience was like, etc. I think someone told me that the stalker went on a date with Ivana, who has red hair and tan skin. After I got fired from the hospital, I tried calling the stalker and spoke to him twice. He asked me how long it was that I thought that he had been stalking me for. I said since age 12. The celeb/regular person told me that it started around age 3 and told me that there was a picture of this day. The neurologist told me that the stalker would follow me to the ends of the earth and I do have memories of him following me on my trips around the world. I think he may have followed me to Long Beach, CA. I kind of remember looking over my shoulder as I was trying to catch the 111 bus. I want to say that there were 2 guys running after me? I remember sitting on Waikiki Beach and I think the stalker had a navy blue shirt on. I can't remember if he tried to talk to me, but I remember him walking off. I think he barged into the room that I was staying in, while I was sleeping in Hawaii. I think that he saw me buying the bunny socks in Japan. I think he would actually stay in the same hostel rooms with me in Japan and also in Puerto Vallarta? I think that the CIA sends him to Walmart to open up the photos that I develop and take pictures of those. I remember finding the envelopes opened when I would go to pick up my order. I remember my co-worker blocking the break room door because the stalker was busy talking photos of my photos. Another co-worker told me that this doctor just opened up my cell phone and put something inside of it. I had a few items that went missing over the years. The neurologist was able to describe these items and when I sat around thinking about this, I figured that it was the stalker who had stolen these things. The stalker thought that I saw my name tattooed onto his chest? I don't actually remember this. I remember him pulling his shirt to the side. Sarah Mac took me to the stalker's dorm room, which was along the sidewalk with a tree by his window. If I had actually seen my name on his chest, I would have put my face really close to it and touched it. Then I would have started asking him why and who he was. I heard that he would actually cover up my name when he would fornicate with other girls. They didn't want to see my name. I think that they made him date someone who looked very similar to me. I remember N & S talking about her. Then I met her later in life and my spouse in most lifetimes asked me what I did to this girl. I didn't do anything. I could just tell that this girl didn't really like me and I didn't know why. I think that it was my spouse in most lifetimes who told me that there was this guy who would drive up from Tucson every weekend and would tell the other students about me? I contacted a friend from college and told her about all of this. She told me that the stalker was in class, but didn't participate in all of the activities for the medical students. I think the neurologist said that the stalker recently broke up with his long time girlfriend. Then I started watching her and there were clues on TV. I think she would talk about the weather being violent and something about the dog's nose being a pin cushion?

The horror of having children.

Tim K

1y↑1

@Slithering Soundcat People don't like to admit that parenting is sometimes a thing of horror, and it's born of the same thing that makes it so rewarding: love. If you have ever worried about a baby's health, felt overwhelmed or had a child hurt itself etc. you know the creeping pit of stomach dread that parenthood can bring. It's not a bad thing either, it's a reflection of your deep connection and care for them - but it hits hard and deep.

vbhacker you got that right. This is demonic music. But Satan ain’t no savior. He kills steals and destroys. You must want to go to hell. Brother I’ll pray for you. Jesus Christ is king. I know you’ll probably have nothing to say at all or nasty things to say. Satan will be defeated. GOD is letting him do what he wants for now. Satan is a fallen angel. And brought down angels with him who are now demons. I’m pretty sure you know that. And there is only one GOD

Does anyone know what vocal effect she is using to achieve this sound?

Official HipBurn

There are so many around.
They used a lot in The Knife as well.
Sounds like the same effect used in horror movies when someone is possessed.

funatish

It's manipulating pitch and formants plus harmonies. You can do this in Ableton by pitch shifting an audio file and choosing the Complex mode (or something like that, I don't recall the name). There you can manipulate the envelope and formants.
