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 Âmaking her the first ever Swedish female singer to play at the Lollapalooza festival.

Tonight
Sofia Talvik Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Choose a direction
If you fail
You can make a correction
Somewhere now
Make life faster
Make your mind
Up for once this time
It's hard
To know
Where I
Supposed to go
It's hard
So hard to know
To know
Where I'm supposed to go
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight it's time
Choose a direction
If you fail
You can make a correction
Somewhere now
Make life faster
Make your mine
And for once this time
It's like
To know
Where I
Supposed to go
It's hard
So hard to know
To know
Where I'm supposed to go
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight I'm going let it go
And try to let it be
Because I know you see
That it's hard
To know
Where I supposed to go
But there is
A way
And tomorrow is a brand new day
And it's hard
So hard to know
Where I supposed to be
But there is a way
And tomorrow is a brand new day
Tonight
Tonight
