You're The Storm

That this track was instantly recognisable from Witnness is testament to the strength of both the songwriting and the performance. Whatever approach The Cardigans take on each album, it is always backed up by simple but strong songwriting and this is a no exception. It is a gorgeous love song, with an eerie echoey vocal on the chorus that upgrades it to the best of pop and creates a beautiful soundscape to paint subtle metaphors of war in a way that’s almost country. Nina’s vocal is rich, raspy and sexy. If chocolate sang while it melted it would probably sound something like this.
