Lykke Li - Breaking It Up (LL)
By: Dan Monsell
Breaking up is hard. Some of us might have thought it much harder when you're always on the receiving end, but not for this smashing Swedish pop superstar. According to Lykke Li, she's always the one that always ends relationships, and that really gets her down. But what about the dumped Li? What about those guys left crying themselves to sleep, losing their jobs and friends, maybe finding themselves standing in the rain outside their ex-lovers houses at midnight with nothing but a pair of binnocolas and wearing all the clothes they left at your house? What about them?
So, as she tells us: "It's about me always being the one to leave someone in order to pursue my dreams. It's about how my creativity is keeping me from having a steady relationship because I'm always thinking about new ideas. I do feel bad for beginning things with people when I know it's never going to last. I'll stay a while, but never for long..."
What a heartbreaker. And you can see this femme fatale in action in this new slice of video magic right below this big slab of text. Chunky.
