This week has been a drag. I’ve been alone at home, a cold and fever, not ill enough to sleep all day, but not well enough to enjoy reading a book either. The constant battle has been to find entertaining music that suits my mood.

Today, I’m finally starting to feel better. Maybe it’s the fever wearing off, or maybe it’s Robyn’s Be Mine which I heard for the first time today. This song is fantastic. The staccato strings immediately stabs you right in the heart, the bass punches you in the stomach, Robyn crying out her desperation. This is exactly what great pop is all about. It makes you feel and it makes you strong. Because, in the end, hearing a song like this just makes you happy.
