Somewhere Between Your Shoulder and Your Chest

Chairlift’s I Belong In Your Arms does something I find hard to articulate without overselling it—Caroline Polachek’s voice hovers just above the melody like it could leave at any moment but never does. The whole album Something has this early-eighties softness, all rounded corners and warm air, and this song sits at its center like a confession you keep meaning to take back but don’t. It’s the kind of track that attaches itself to a specific time of day in your memory and refuses to be dislodged.
