The heart wants what it wants, and sometimes our efforts to quash our feelings only ends up fanning the flames even further. We think that cutting someone out of our lives is a sure way to move on, but sometimes absence merely makes the heart grow fonder. With their new single ‘Atlantic’, Swedish sibling duo Sixten explore how long distances can often serve to amplify the longing of unrequited love. Taken from their sophomore EP Misemotional, the track’s nostalgic swells threaten to sweep you away, much the same way as when your thoughts turn to someone you thought you were finally over (“You’d think I learn my lesson, It’s been a year or two, But all of my obsessions, They’re pointing straight at you“). Throwing distance into the mix before resolving your feeling for someone just adds a world of new questions into the ether. Beyond all the same ‘what-ifs’ you keep replaying, imagining a scenario where it all worked out, you now also have to contend with the dizzying notion of the life they’re building without you in it. ‘Atlantic’ feels like a longing for closure that keeps slipping further away; how much harder it is to tie up loose ends when they stretch across oceans.
