Royksopp

[Billy]

Any fans? I will admit a bit of embarrassment, I learned about them via the Geico Caveman commericals. Awesome band though my favorite song:

YouTube - Royksopp-Circuit Breaker

What is that funny light and sound
Calling me, in my head, repeatedly?
What is that vision there in sight
Before my eyes?
So prominent
So mesmerizing, turbulent

You've got a hold on me
Your ingenuity
Seems to be driving me down on my knees
The force you generate
You reinvigorate
Your body tells them 'No mistakes'

For I'm already droll
Close to the divine
Toxic human images are rushing through my mind
Embodiment of sin, has seen a way within
Sensation seems to multiply
They're building up inside

Carried through the night
Radiating light
I see you move the crowd
I know what you're about

The stories I have heard
To talk about excess
I know what people say
But surely you impress?

Caressed by a pill
You elevated soul
Vanity and pride
An addict to one
A universal force
A one and only kind
A thing I can't control
No matter how I try

What have you done to me?
This kind of chemistry
Emotions running over me
And when you arch your back
Just when you stay like that
When it's natural to interact

When others holding back
Ready to commence
Caught up in your bliss
You're so confusing and intense
Synergy of two
Energy go wild
See the stars aligned and spinning
Our name out in the sky

Jealousy in sight
So fascinating ride
So much faith between
Floating up the steam
Calling out so loud
Beautiful and true
Mystery about
Everything you do

Caressed by a drug
You elevated soul
Vanity and pride
An addict to one
A universal force
A one and only kind
A thing I can't control
No matter how I try

...

This electricity
Injected into me
Emotions running over me
And when you're getting close
You touch my innermost
A feeling deep inside me knows

On a floaty light
Carried through the night
We have got it all
I get through without
Flowing in my veins
Ribbing through my soul
I'll never be the same
The secret can't be told

Charismatic pill
You elevated soul
Vanity and pride
An addict to one
A universal force
A one and only kind
A thing I can't control
No matter how I try

Royksopp FTW.

I like 'The Understanding' better than any of their albums. 'Junior' is pretty good but definitely has a different feel. Actually.. changed my mind.. I'd say I like 'Junior' just as much as 'The Understanding' though I like them almost as though they were done by different bands if that makes sense.

They just sound so different from each other.

 

[Litvyak]

Yeah, love their music! 'Remind me' is my favourite.

Where are they from? Norway? I couldnt remember I should wiki them.

 

[Phantonym]

:hi: I'm not a fan of anything but I like listening to Röyksopp. Occasionally.

Don't think about it, do it.

Here are my faves:

Falcarius went to see them play live in London five years ago or whenever their album The Understanding came out.

LOL, me too. I never even paid attention to the version on TV but late one night the radio played the slower version and I was like "I've heard that song before but where?"

The radio never played it again either. Really sad that people in the USA seem let a commercial blind them to a good song and a great band.

[decided]

Yeah, they're great. I don't remember when I learned about them, but it was many many years ago! I remember spending many a Winter night playing board or card games with Royksopp on in the background.

I particularly like Poor Leno and Blue on Blue.

My cat is a Russian Blue, and we have blue couches so sometimes when she's sleeping on the couch I sing "Blue on Blue" to her.

PS. I don't know if they've been used on commercials here.

PPS. Does Falcarius always speak in the third person?

 

[Ouroboros]

I like "What Else Is There?" and "Only This Moment" best, but I haven't heard much by them.
