Song of the Week (Week of June 5, 2011)

You've probably never heard of Oh Land but you definitely should hear of her...which is exactly why I picked her for this week's Song of the Week. Oh Land is the stage name of Danish singer-songwriter/record producer Nanna Øland Fabricius. She released her first album "Fauna" in Denmark in 2008, but her follow-up album "Oh Land" really got her attention when it was released this year.

It served as her debut album in the U.S. and just cracked into the Billboard 200 albums chart when it was released. She appeared on a few televised U.S. shows for the first time ever around the album's release, and is now going on tour with Sia and Katy Perry (on select dates) this summer. The first single off the album, "Sun of a Gun" is perhaps her best known song, but my favorite is another track on the album called "White Nights." Enjoy!



Ooh ooh Ooh
Has it been a day or a week?
As my eyes begin to close
I am walking in my sleep
Living in a state in-between
Do the signs begin to show
See the eyes fare in the dark
As they glow
As they glow

These dreams under my pillow
In the twilight of these white nights
These dreams under my pillow
In the twilight of these white nights
Of these white nights
Of these white nights
Of these white nights
Oooh Ooh Ooh

Something is about to be born
There's a restlessness in me
Keeps me up until the dawn
There is no silence
I will keep following the sirens
There is no silence
I will keep following the sirens

These dreams under my pillow
In the twilight of these white nights
These dreams under my pillow
In the twilight of these white nights
Of these white nights
Of these white nights
Of these white nights
Oooh ooh ooh

These dreams under my pillow
In the twilight of these white nights
These dreams under my pillow
In the twilight of these white nights
Of these white nights
Of these white nights
Of these white nights
Of these white nights
