MP3: Susanne Sundfør - The brothel
This is only song that matters right now. I've been spinning it multiple times daily trying to find my way inside, but it yields next to nothing. The video adds extra layers of darkness and mystery. Snow swirls in night, figures walk through empty streets, visions become layered and kaleidoscopic. Everything goes up in flames and fireworks and now it seems that God has left us and so where exactly does that leave us? "Is anybody listening?" I am, on the outside trying to find a way in.
