Sofia Talvik has emerged like a lady of the forest, bringing a new interesting side to folk music. Soft, airy, and graceful, Sofia Talvik sings both songs that touch on themes of love and heartbreak, as well as a healthy dose of anecdotal stories from her own life.
At the age of eighteen she left behind the comfort of home for the bright lights and lonely nights of Stockholm. There every experience, good and bad, would soon take the form of a beautiful, funny or heartbreaking song.
She's playing a unique blend of folk-pop (someone said Neo-Folk). This American genre filtered through her Swedish heritage, becomes something totally unique, a blend that has attracted attention from a broad audience all over the world.
Her soft and airy music at her combination of modal chord changes and beautiful 60's euro-pop melodies combined with the gentle singing of a 70's folk songstress will make you think of Joni Mitchell, Nick Drake, Jewel and Aimee Mann.
Her soft and airy music has been recognized by music lovers and critics all over the world letting her tour the US several times and making her the first ever Swedish female singer to play at the Lollapalooza festival.

Delusional
Sofia Talvik Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Maybe I was chosing my truth
What if I was disorientated and
Delusional
Maybe you are really sad
Or maybe you were really scared
Delusional
Maybe we were both so wrong
Misjudging and mistaking
Confused and fantasizing and
Delusional
But it's important not to blame each other
To remember the good times we shared
Maybe then we can stop being
Delusional
Sofia Talvik's song "Delusional" talks about the complexities of human relationships and how our perceptions can be altered by our emotions. The song is quite introspective and the lyrics point out to the possibility that we might be delusional in our understanding of reality.
The opening lines of the song suggest that the singer believes that she may be insane or at least was choosing her truth. This could indicate that she isn't sure of her thoughts, and it's up to others to determine what is accurate or not. As the song progresses, the singer portrays the idea that maybe the other person in the relationship is also delusional, lost, or confused. However, they both need to remember the good times they shared and not blame each other to move on.
The mood of the song is reflective, and the simple melody contributes well to the pensive mood of the lyrics. There is a somberness to the sound that is almost melancholic. The song expresses empathy and that every now and then, we might need to take some time off from our delusions to understand reality.

I *love* Sofia's music. This piece, in particular though, is away from what I would describe as her comfort zone, (acoustic folky, to quote Sofia herself), but loses nothing for all that... For me, it is reminiscent of some of the more 'accessible' techno tracks of the 1980s - but the pure clarity of the voice is distinctively Sofia. It bears repeating - I *love* Sofia's music!
