Dry and Dusty
Fever Ray Lyrics

Never leave me
Walk close beside me
Your hand my hand
Fits so easy

No tomorrow
Let us stop here
We did some great things
Didn't we?

Dry and dusty
I am a capsule of energy
You speak softly
We are capsules of energy

Work as I've been told
In return I get money
Small feet in the hall
And I long for every moment

Fever Rays and the Knife's music gives me a dark, but artistic feeling. it's definitly from the heart. I like this better than the mainstream music you hear on the radio. I doubt the radio would even play this kind of music. I hope she comes out with a new album.

fever ray just gives me strength. i love karin so much!

Juan Sayago Cheein

The use of the distorted vocals on this track gives an alien, otherworldly feeling that's at the same time comforting and smooth. I think it's one of the best peculiarities about this timelessly amazing album 🖤

One of the best moments in music EVER.

ladyafrika

haha, I guess it depends on my mood. some days, I'm in a Fever Ray mood and on others, I just have to listen to the Knife more.

I've been listening to this album for a few months now, and I still feel like I don't know the album completely and I can confidently say this is probably one of the most spectacular albums I have ever heard. BTW does anyone know if she has plans to make another album with this solo project? Oh God, I hope so <3

i was always curious that who gives Unlike for amazing songs

Mark Semple

Trolls.

xn109 people with no deep soul and no music taste what so ever.

White Wolf

People who like new aged rap, aka punks and people born in the ghetto. Rap is basically clicks and whistles.

@gzussturbo OMG! I absolutely hate you! Hahah, just kidding. At the end of the day, to each their own. By the way, The Knife have some less 'upbeat' songs such as, "The Captain", "NY Hotel", "Pass this on", "Neon" and "Lasagna". Just to name a few, definitely all worth a listen.

truemmershoppen

i love the beginning, although...it reminds me of kings of leon's 'on call'. but wow. waiting for a good video. xo
