This song is just fantastic. From the side band of the lady-half of the Knife, Fever Ray, comes this haunting, ass-kickin walk through a dream-filled cityscape. I'm not sure if the dreams have fallen apart, gone wrong, or were ever there at all, but you search your way through the landscape, being toted along by the bass, booming with each footstep as you search for the safety of the title.
A great cover of the Peter Gabriel classic of the same name, this version removes the x-files-esque flute, adds the somewhat off-kilter voices of the Knife crew, and resonating boom that envelopes the song in a somewhat darker shadow than their predecessor.
