I could hear them howling from afar
I saw them rushing to your car
In a moment all went screaming wild
Until the darkness killed the light

I remember running to the sea
The burning houses and the trees
I remember running to the sea
Alone and blinded by the fear

And the river flows beneath your skin
Like savage horses kept within
And all is wasted in the sand
Like breaking diamonds with your hand

I remember running to the sea
Remember falling to my knees
I remember gliding off the shore
Until I touched the ocean floor

And the river flows beneath your skin
The savage horses kept within
And all is wasted in the sand
Like breaking diamonds with your hand

And the river grows inside of me
And the river grows inside of me
And the river grows inside of me
And the river grows inside of me

I know it's nothing special, but I still love the melody and her beautiful voice - 8 points!

Hauntingly beautiful.Love it.

The vocal was iffy, the riff was icky, really wanted to give this a chance because RP is offering ... but that pounding beat is a dealbreaker. No redeeming qualities. Glad it finally stopped. Thank you.

From the album called The Inevitable End. The horror.

Holy Shit. That changes the tune completely.

Generally speaking, synth-heavy music with a pulsing synthobeat does not appeal to me, but this does. In some way, knowing what it's about adds to its qualities. Really cannot separate the theme of the piece from an emotional pull. Music can do some pretty weird things.

Gorgeous voice, but let's start a Kickstarter campaign to buy her a real rhythm section. And a producer. The whole production is like, nineties electropop gloop.

Royksopp rules! And Suzanne Sundfor's voice matches perfectly their world. Hope they will continue to collaborate. The title "Save me" on the same album or their cover of "Ice machine" from Depeche Mode are awesome as well.

These guys are from  Tromsø?  That is way up there.....

So aside from Norwegian performers, I'm thinking that relative to population, RP plays more Icelanders than any other country.  Norway might be a close second.  

First they come raiding, and steal everything.  Then they fill your heads with music.

Equally unstandable as Rockfish, with the sole exception that this seems to be a real female voice at last. Too bad I can't PSD on my hi-fi tuner.

Simply put: Röyksopp are crazy. Maybe just like most Scandivanians (blame it on weather conditions, lack of affordable alcohol or whatever) but in this very case crazy equals great.

I'd say RP is the place for all kinds of music. Discovered quite a lot of bands/artists (and genres!) I didn't know myself. EDM has a place here, albeit an odd one, since the 'general' EDM crowd wouldn't listen to RP anyway
Posted 9 years ago by DippingSauce    [ Reply ]
I kind of like the vocals, but it's a bit too euro-rave dance sound for me. But I don't mind really, as RP is nothing if not eclectic, which means that, yes, once-in-a-while a song will get played that I or someone else might just not like ALL THAT MUCH. Keep on keeping us listening and thinking Bill!

Pleasant voice but track could have done with a bit less of the Thumping, ruins quite a nice pop song.

It's kinda crazy to see votes come in after only 20 seconds of the song being played.

I voted right away because I own this album already, and love this track, but hey, that's me.
