There is a tranquil and bright energy that just bursts from every glitter covered bit of Oh Land. It reaches out from her music, her videos and her very presence to calm, uplift, and rejuvenate. For me 2011 was a year of big risks, restlessness, and brave (though at times not well thought out) leaps, and there is no better song to explain that swelling of anxiety, uncertainty, risk and of course hopeful and driven optimism than ‘White Nights’. 2011 may have been a year where to top of the charts were filled with pounding beats and near meaningless lyrics, but for me 2011 was about a down shift, soft beats, graceful vocals and an introspective look at yourself and the world you are creating.
These dreams under my pillow
In the twilight of these white nights
Of these white nights
Something is about to be born
There’s a restlessness in me
Keeps me up until the dawn
There is no silence
I will keep following the sirens
