Day #9: Dancing On My Own, Robyn (2010)
Man it really feels great (and flattering to one’s taste, and therefore feels great to one’s ego) to be sort of ahead of trends. I discovered this gem (and the rest of Robyn’s discography) when I was assigned to do a 2-page essay about Sweden in our geography class in college. I still remember that book – it had a landscape layout with glossy pages, and the book’s cover featured a couple belonging to the elite. There was a section about Swedish music and pop culture, and I saw photos of Ace of Base, Eagle-Eye Cherry, and Robyn, who with a severe, short, white hair attracted my homosexual tastes. Personally, the early 2010s were my best years. Not coincidentally: it was also my late teens and I was in college, the perfect place to expand your mind, try different styles and identities, experiment with everything, feel intense emotions for the first time.
It turned out that Dancing On My Own wasn’t the first Robyn song that I heard or knew about. So I used to watch The X-Factor UK, and its fifth series in 2008 remains a personal favorite of mine. One of the contestants I loved, Rachel Hylton, did a cover of With Every heartbeat for that season’s first love song. Response was lukewarm, but I loved the arrangement + the vocals and the fact that they chose a more upbeat song to perform. I remember downloading songs from Body Talk in a frenzied haze, and listening to them obsessively during my daily commute to school and during my daily commute when I interned at a senator’s office. I remember all the cool kids on the internet were listening to Robyn, and when she eventually blew up I had a smug satisfaction of listening to hear way earlier than the rest.
As with Bad Romance, this was also featured on Gossip Girl. I think it was used during a Chuck/Blair scene. Rewatching Robyn’s music video for this song, her physicality is still a breath-taker. She moves as if it’s on impulse. In 2015, The Cracked Podcast – I was listening to that podcast obsessively – featured her live performance of Call Your Girlfriend as an undiscovered gem, and the hosts made it a point that choreography made the performance. Long story short, this song is about longing and love (or something close to it) unrequited, a theme which will continue to follow me as I piece together my sexuality, and how it relates to my outside world.
Favorite Lyrics:
I'm giving it my all
But I'm not the girl you're taking home
I keep dancing on my own
