To celebrate the opening of Richard Linklater’s new coming of age film Boyhood in cinemas (which looks all kinds of fantastic) Vogue asked a bunch of artists to spill the beans on the music that reminds them of those awkward young adult years.
Check out what Cool Accident’s faves Yukimi Nagano of Little Dragon & Lykke Li chose below and head over to Vogue for the full article.
Yukimi - Kate Bush Running Up That Hill
“My sister forgot Hounds of Love in my room when I was sixteen and I never gave it back to her. I didn’t know Kate Bush at the time so it was a huge discovery for me. “Running Up That Hill” was my anthem for a good year. I can’t listen to that song without thinking about that age, sneaking puffs from cigarettes out my bedroom window with a heavy teenage heart.”
Lykke - Roxette It Must Have Been Love
“I must have been five years old and still living in Portugal. I remember having this song on a cassette tape, I would bring the cassette player on the roof top where there was nothing around me but mountains. I could smell the sea as well as feel the heartache running through my veins as the lyrics unraveled. It made perfect sense to me; it must have been love but it’s over now. How and why I knew that at such a young age I do not know. Maybe it’s the one epiphany we have as young Swedes.”
