"Hurts To Liv" is the cathartic latest from the Lykke Li fronted supergroup Liv. Also featuring Miike Snow’s Andrew Wyatt and Pontus Winnberg, producer Jeff Bhasker (also the father of Lykke Li’s baby Dion) and Peter Bjorn and John’s Björn Yttling, Liv are downtempo outlet for Li's creativity.
This new track is hauntingly beautiful and dedicated to Li and Bhasker's deceased parents. The harmonies of the married duo are wonderful, with the track contrasting the birth of their child with the deaths of their parents. Li says of the tune:
“It’s been a very spiritual, beautiful, and life-awakening cycle. Creating and giving birth to a baby boy, losing a mother—as well as Andrew’s father—and to be able to put into song life’s suffering before it even happened. Sometimes we forget to live and be loved, cause it hurts to live.”
The accompanying film clip continues the theme of life and death, showing the beginnings of life inside the womb.
