While Laufey will forever embody that glorious Coquette Summer we celebrated a couple of years ago, she’s been a staple on the cafe playlist where I’ve been spending my afternoons. It’s good winter music as well, and so I seek out a proper seasonal song from her impressive oeuvre.
Like so much of winter, Laufey is a languid sigh.
A wistful half-wish upon a summer memory, faded and brittle like some dusty dried flower.
And maybe a whimsical winter daydream, cocooned by a steaming mug of tea and a small plate with a single cookie on it.
This is ‘Sabotage’ – a brilliant addition to the Winter Obscura scene:
I get in my head so easily
I don’t understand, I’m my worst enemy
You assure me you love me
And seal it with a kiss
I can’t be convinced
It’s just a matter of time ’til you see the dagger
It’s a special of mine to cause disaster
So prepare for the impact, and brace your heart
For cold, bloody, bitter sabotage
