Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Possibility. By Songfacts®.

Timotej Zachrisson, who records under the stage name of Lykke Li, is a Swedish indie singer, who released her debut album Youth Novels in 2008. She wrote this song for the soundtrack of the 2009 movie New Moon.

Li told MTV News that it took her a long time to come up with this haunting piece of Chamber Pop. She explained: "Everyone kept asking me if I wanted to do it, how [the song] was going, when would I have it finished, and I was like, 'Eh, I don't know, maybe I'll do it, maybe I won't.' I mean, I had heard of the 'Twilight' phenomenon, but I didn't read the books or watch the first movie or anything. I mean, I'm Swedish."
She added that finally the inspiration came to her watching New Moon. "I stayed [in Los Angeles] and watched the movie, when it only had green screen on it. I had this hook in my mind, even before I saw the movie, and then I was watching it, and I was like, 'That's the hook!' " she said. "So it was very much like a discovery, inside myself and musically. I had this song growing inside of me that I had to get out, and [the film] was the trigger. Because I really connected with Bella and Edward's tortured love story."

Lykke Li blogged bout the writing of the song: "I got to see New Moon when I was in LA for a show and an idea immediately rose to my mind," said the singer. "It would take a few weeks before I even had a chance to sit down by a piano but then suddenly I wrote it while having a few days off in Sweden just coming out of a fever...I'm really proud of it and hope you will love it and need it."
