favorite song friday: habits (stay high)

Tove Lo's new song, "Habits (Stay High)" is pretty insistent, in an ear-wormy kind of way, but it is also compelling. The song by the Swedish singer, Tove Ebba Elsa Nilsson, better known as Tove Lo, appears on her first album, Queen of the Clouds. It's a broken-hearted song. Tove's angelic voice doing a tough-stance narration is an interesting juxtaposition.


"Pick up daddies at the playground
How I spend my daytime
Loosen up the frown,
Make them feel alive
I'll make it fast and greasy
I'm numb and way too easy

You're gone and I gotta stay
High all the time
To keep you off my mind
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
High all the time
To keep you off my mind
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Spend my days locked in a haze
Trying to forget you babe
I fall back down
Gotta stay high all my life
To forget I'm missing you"
