Nova (The Sound of Arrows song)
Encyclopedia
Nova is the second single by Swedish duo The Sound of Arrows
.
That’s how the singer of The Sound of Arrows
Stefan Storm describes what is this song about:
"It’s a song that we actually struggled with a fair bit in its creation. It just wouldn’t sit right and we’ve got at least three different productions of it lying around on the computer, but it’s finally seeing the light. I’m very happy with how the lyrics came out in the end, the second verse especially."
Nova is quite a common theme for The Sound of Arrows
– it's about escapism, kind of what the theme of the whole album is about. Wanting something better when you're stuck in a rut and just driving toward an ideal. Sometimes it can be great because it can get you places, but it's sometimes like you're diluting yourself into thinking that there is always something better out there. It goes both ways. Its kind of like hope but still there is a part of hopelessness.

Video clip
That's a real cave in the video. Its like 200 - 300 meters below ground! The shooting took 48 hours. It was filmed in summer so outside was super, super warm but down in the cave it was so damn cold!
