I'm No Longer In Command

Today was a very gray and wet day. One of those days that just feel wet, humid and damp but it doesn't rain. It just feels like rain. What better day to listen to Anna Ternheim? It feels like her entire debut album Somebody Outside was recorded solely on gray, wet days like today and this has been taken advantage of by myself. The song that I listened to repeatedly was "My Secret" which is probably my favourite on the album. It feels very genuine and balanced emotion-wise. The biggest problem with her album in general is that it just feels so heavy to listen to. So many bad feelings concentrated into the lyrics and the melancholic music brings you down immediatly, but "My Secret" manages to be a little pearl sparkling in the darkness. It's not a particularly happy song but it's one of those songs that you can level with so easily, especially on gray days like today.
