Sarah MacDougall set out to create a record that emulated the feeling of being surrounded by nature, and that is exactly what she accomplished.
The high-risk, high-reward album was teased to fans with the cinematic single Empire in Spring and her fourth album, All the Hours I Have Left to Tell You Anything was released in Fall.
91裸聊视频淚 wanted to create something big sounding and I wanted to reflect what I had seen in the Yukon because I have lived there for the last eight years and I have been lucky enough to do a few hikes and helicopter rides and I always felt I wanted to write some songs that reflect this,91裸聊视频� said MacDougall.
Born in Sweden, the musician has lived Whitehorse, Yukon since 2010. This album was something that she had never created before, reflecting on human nature, life, death and nature.

91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 more just that feeling, the feeling you get when you are seeing such a massive and vast landscape. It91裸聊视频檚 more about that and creating that space musically rather than just reflecting nature per se,91裸聊视频� said MacDougall.

91裸聊视频淚 grew up there, it91裸聊视频檚 a little more primal for me. Swedish is a little more of an expressive language and even though there are fewer words. It91裸聊视频檚 simpler, it91裸聊视频檚 hard to explain there are just other things I can say in Swedish,91裸聊视频� said MacDougall. 91裸聊视频淐ertain things might sound really clich茅 in English, but it might sound beautiful in Swedish you just have more of a palate to choose from.91裸聊视频�
