Ólafur Arnalds ft. JFDR - "Back to the Sky"

 

Icelandic composer/producer Ólafur Arnalds collaborates with singer JFDR on this poignant track that touches on love and loss.  The music is minimal with low clicking percussion, synth drones, and gradually building strings.  The affecting lyrics move from despondency to eventual acceptance.  I love the last lines: "And then when stars align with some kind of peace/I know I'm loved by you, either way/Where did you go? You’re going home/You're going home."
