Statement from Exploded View:
The song “Orlando” was written at the end of 2014, and its video was completed shortly before the terrible events in Orlando, FL, in the early hours of June 12th, when the most deadly mass shooting in the United States shook the country, the world and the queer community to its core, as the targets were clearly chosen, simply for being who they were, conducted in a space that has traditionally been one of protection, a safe haven for the queer community for decades: the dance floor.
Quoting from Virginia Woolf's iconic novel Orlando: a Biography (1928), “Life, it sings, or croons rather, like a kettle on a hob, Life, life what art thou?”, as the main character has become a symbol to all those who believe they can free themselves from the restrictions imposed on our bodies, on our freedoms, to or from; the song is a celebration of life's simple pleasures; of union in our differences. In the wake of our pain, when some have downplayed the chosen identity of the victims, while others may have concentrated solely on that, it is important to remember that this affects all of us. Whatever happens, dance floors should continue to be a space for freedom of expression, for life's simple pleasures and a safe haven for so many communities around the world.

It's like having just finished watching a David Lynch film and thinking "that was beautiful" and "what the fck did I just watch?" Wonderful stuff!

[@dv3963]

Not sure what u call it but that drum riff is excellent. What a tune!

[@abelcoss]

Life, it sings, or croons rather, like a kettle on a hob, Life, life what art thou?

[@MrDivineMilk]

The message of the video is enjoying life. Crazy to think some of the people (depicted elderly) are grooving but are not around anymore (vids 4 years old)

Lyrics:
When I wait
When I wait beneath the
When I wait
Beneath the egg yolk sun
And reflect on the days gone
I'd like to feel, believe, it was worth it
That it was for someone
[Hook]
Life it sings, it croons, like a kettle on a hob
Life, Life what art thou?
[Verse 2]
When I return from the depths of the night
I hope to see your world, but still alive
Or is that just me?
Is that just [?]?
[Bridge]
Don't you remember yourself from this love
Stop being that endless turning cog
And live a little bit, breath a little bit
