Royksopp Remind Me

This song is about a reminiscent wanderer where the most memorable memories are the ones created while in love.






















Remind me Lyrics


t's only been a week,
The rush of being home in rapid fading.
Prevailing to recall
What I was missing, all that time in England

Has sent me aimlessly,
On foot or by the help of transportation,
To knock on windows where
A friend no longer live, I had forgotten.

(chorus)

And everywhere I go,
There's always something to remind me
Of another place and time
Where love that travelled far had found me.

We stayed outside til two,
Waiting for the light to come back,
But hid in talk I knew,
Until you asked what I was thinking.

(chorus)

Brave men tell the truth,
A wise man's tools are analogies and puzzles,
A woman holds her tongue,
Knowing silence will speak for her.

So now I'll never know,
As you will only sleep beside me,
And everywhere I go...

(chorus)
(repeat)

It's only been a week,
(Will remind, will remind, will remind me,)
The rush of being home in rapid fading.
(Will remind, will remind, will remind me,)
Prevailing to recall
(Will remind, will remind, will remind me,)
What I was missing all that time in England
(Will remind, will remind, will remind me.)

Has sent me aimlessly
(Will remind, will remind, will remind me,)
On foot or by the help of transportation,
(Will remind, will remind, will remind me,)
To knock on windows where
(Will remind, will remind, will remind me,)
A friend no longer live, I had forgotten.
(Will remind, will remind, will remind me.)

(chorus)


Here I am playing the song with my piano.

Royksopp Only This Moment

This song from Royksopp has an amazing combination of modern electronic sounds, singable melodies, and emotional lyrics. It is a song of two lovers, caught up in the moment, so attracted, enraptured, intrigued with one another, however, scared of the other person's intentions, they dare not let themselves get carried away to fall in love for fear of being hurt.



This song admits the dangerous comination of lust and insecurity. However, I am unsure of the ending of the lyrics, is it "Deep down inside I know our love will survive" or "Deep down inside I know I will survive?" The first resolves their insecurity and the second accepts it.




Only This Moment



Only this moment (Holds us together)
Close to perfection (Nothing is out there)
No one to guide us (Lost in the senses)
Deep down inside I know our love will die


Only this moment (Holds us together)
Lost in confusion (Feelings are out there)
Scared of the ocean (Doubting intentions)
Deep down inside I know our love will die

Stay or forever go
Play or you'll never know
We haven't decided
You can't deny it's all you've been waiting for


Stay or forever go
Play or you'll never know
Your spirit's divided
You will decide if I'm all you've been waiting for

Clouds in my head have been parted with grace
By the voice of an angel revealing her face
And her words they make sense 'n' I do understand
Falling in love isn't part of a plan

Forces within me, makes reason with lust
But I try to accept it and not think it works
Because I know I might lose you by taking the chance
But love without pain isn't really romance


Only this moment (Holds us together)
Close to perfection (Nothing is out there)
Always beside us (Ttrusting my senses)
Deep down inside (I know i will survive)

Only this moment (Holds us together)
Close to perfection (Nothing else out there)
Always beside us (Tusting my senses)
Deep down inside I know I will survive

ATB Autumn Leaves

I was in search of the French classic song "Autumn Leaves" written in 1945, music by Joseph Kosma and French lyrics by Jacque Prevert, later performed in English first by Jo Stafford. Instead, I had a wonderful surprise of finding a downtempo song of the same name from the Album "No Silence" released in 2004.

I must have been living in a cave because I wasn't that familiar with ATB (André Tanneberger from Germany) until I accidentally came upon the downtempo song, "Autumn Leaves" and fell in love.

What was surprising is that ATB usually produces some heavier electronic dance type of music, but this particular one, "Autumn Leaves" was slower, melodic, emotion-evoking-hurts-so-good with very very sad lyrics. I mean, check these lyrics out:


I woke under the cover of darkness
Looked up into the television sky
Tonight

I wandered through the city alone this
Rain wouldn't stop, I couldn't dry my eyes
I cried

Who is the one to blame
Why is it that you never say
...when the feeling leaves
...if you're through with me



As I'm walking through the rain
Cold tears falling down my face
...like the autumn leaves
...on a windy day

I went to the edge of town
Over bright highways where the traffic was the only sound
Around

While my eyes were looking at the ground
I could see pictures of you floating all around
I didn't doubt

Who is the one to blame
Why is it that you never say
...when the feeling leaves
...if you're through with me

As I'm walking through the rain
Cold tears falling down my face
...like the autumn leaves
...on a windy day

Who is the one to blame
Why is it that you never say
...when the feeling leaves
...if you're through with me

As I'm walking through the rain
Cold tears falling down my face
...like the autumn leaves
...on a windy day

Who is the one to blame
Why is it that you never say
...when the feeling leaves
...if you're through with me

As I'm walking through the rain
Cold tears falling down my face
...like the autumn leaves
...on a windy day

Who is the one to blame
Why is it that you never say
...when the feeling leaves
...if you're through with me

As I'm walking through the rain
Cold tears falling down my face
...like the autumn leaves
...on a windy day
