With Every Heartbeat vs. Dancing On My Own

[Suedehead]

Which Robyn classic do you prefer?

 

[Marilyn]

With Every Heartbeat by a mile

 

[Lucille]

Dancing on my own is a bit of a GAY CLICHÉ at this point, every heartbeat has held up a bit better for me and still packs an emotional punch that DOMO doesn’t have for me anymore.

 

[Lucille]

The ultimate reading of DOMO.

 

[Lucille]

The melodrama, you’d think one of them was getting SHOT after!

 

[Dark Carnival]

Love Dancing On My Own, but With Every Heartbeat wins easily here for me. WEH holds such a special place in my heart.

 

[lolly]

DOMO, in a 17/10 compared to a 13/10 kind of way.

 

[funky]

I’m not really a fan of the latter tbh

But the kleerup one is a classic

 

[Penelope]

It was DOMO but last year in the midst of a high I had a vision of Anna Book making a hauntingly beautiful Melodifestivalen comeback with a pathos-laden blatant rewrite of With Every Heartbeat and it made it a 12455/10 for me

 

[Joseph]

With Every Heartbeat

 

[funky]

*generic “Longing For Lullabies” beats both of them though post*

 

[straightorbroken]

Love that Kleerup sound that also worked well on his own Longing for Lullabies, Cyndi's Lay Me Down and his remix of Roxette's Reveal, but the sound was never developed or expanded enough in subsequent outings. With Every Heartbeat is ultra special.

 

[Martelo Estrada]

With Every Heartbeat.

 

[Loufoque]

With Every Heartbeat is THAT mid-00s girl. I think it's probably sitting in that lovely pocket with Bleeding Love, Call The Shots and Umbrella.

 

[GNL]

I never cared for 'With Every Heartbeat'.

 

[Tisch]

DOMO. Just because it's overplayed and has been bastardised by others doesn't take away from the fact it's an absolute stone cold classic that captures THAT feeling perfectly.

 

[Sheena]

With Every Heartbeat is perfect. The delivery, the emotional impact of that vocal and just the sheer impact it had at the time.

Dancing On My Own I like very much too, but it feels like its a bit of a rewrite.

 

[Apoca]

DOMO, in a 17/10 compared to a 13/10 kind of way.

This is where I land as well.

Shockingly enough, I might prefer Hang With Me and Call Your Girlfriend to BOTH.

 

[lolly]

This is where I land as well.

Shockingly enough, I might prefer Hang With Me and Call Your Girlfriend to BOTH.

I can't quite get behind either of those (sadly both only 11/10 to these ears), but I do potentially feel the same about Indestructible.

 

[jivafox]

DOMO, in a 17/10 compared to a 13/10 kind of way.

This.

 

[Sheena]

And NONE of them touch Be Mine!

 

[lolly]

I tend to underestimate Be Mine! until I listen to it again and remember those STABBING DISCO SYNTHS AND STRINGS

 

[Rita]

My GOD. No contest Dancing On My Own.

So far away, but still so near
(The lights go on, the music dies)
But you don't see me standing here
(I just came) to say goodbye
I'm in the corner watching you kiss her, oh

 

[Rita]

PERFECTION

 

[straightorbroken]

Yeah, I just can't relate to being that bothered by someone being into someone else. I'll be in the corner. On my grindr. Giving it my nothing.
