I can make it good, I can make it hood, I can make you come, I can make you go! I can make it high, I can make it fly, make you touch the sky, hey maybe so!

"L TO THE O! V TO THE E!": SINGLES 2010.
01/Robyn - Dancing on My Own
The girl at the center of this song before us is a broken heart ridin’ solo, floating in the abyss. She appears to have lost him and is watching him carry on from the shadows, catching peaks in broken stilettos, while trying to hold it together and dance, on her own. Except she can’t, cause we won’t let her. This song won’t let us. We, like this song, are too triumphant for all that. We roll our eyes with Robyn. We’ve been there like Robyn. We’re in the corner, watching him kiss her with Robyn. We laugh, damn near cry, and shout, “Can you believe this shit?” with Robyn. We feel for Robyn, understand with Robyn, and refuse to wallow in the emotions you would expect from a woman in this song’s situation. We are simply HERE & THERE with Robyn, relating, letting the music take us away and remind us to keep it together; Stuntin’, cause we got our own. What a beautiful escape.
