Anna_TernheimSometimes simple is beautiful. With a "voice that cuts like a knife and sings about those feelings that hurt, so beautiful it makes you want to cry" (Karoline Eriksson, Svenska Dagbladet), Anna Ternheim takes the stage as our featured artist for today.

I don’t remember how I came to know of her, but I’m glad I did! Anna Ternheim is a Swedish singer-songwriter. She performs in English, and she released her debut album Somebody Outside in 2004. Following the release of the album, she won a Swedish Grammy Award for Best Newcomer, and was nominated for Best Female Artist, Best Lyricist and Best Songwriter 2005.

In September of 2006, she released her second album in Sweden, entitled Separation Road. I have yet to hear this album. Meanwhile, today’s featured song, Shoreline, is a song I really love from her first album.

Shoreline is a cover for a song originally by Broder Daniel. The mellow piano score in this song is just outstanding, and I just love the ending as well.

Lyrics

Ever since i was eight or nine
I’ve been standing on the shoreline
Always waiting
For something lasting
Loose your hunger, you loose your way
Get confused and you fade away

Oh this town
Kills you when you are young
Oh this town
Kills you when you are young

I’m not the boy i used to be
This town has got the youth of me
All eyes turn hollow
From the work of sorrow

Standing on the paving
By the office building
They’ve got so much to do
Never time for you

We are shadows
Oh we’re shadows
Shadows in the alley

You die when you’re young
You die when you’re young
You die when you’re young
