We started writing Monument after playing around with a software that can stretch short bits of music into billions of years of sound. It made total sense to me that Max wanted to explore this floating feeling and mediation in the video...
Hey, I just want to say good job, and that the black and white structure reminded me of a book written by Dean Koontz, Brother Odd, where there is a monster that constantly changes shape, beautiful and scary at the same time, the monster turns out to be an expression of vanity, arrogance and insanity. good music, good voice and good video, thx for your excelent work over the years.
I am a 61 year old truck driver love music. The first time I heard this song loved it witch was today and you know or would think listening to a song 100 times would be enough . But NOOOO not me I've listened to it 300 times I can't explain why soo many times but I have. Ohhhh well enough talk. Gotta listen again...
I ve done the same, sometimes I cry, laugh, or feel outside of my body… this song has been my rock and savior… I lost my sister, father, and currently getting a divorce!!!! Amazing song to go through all the memories and grieving! 🙏🏼🦋❤️🙌🏽
I was 33 years old when I had a massive stroke. I could not talk, walk or use my right hand. This is the soundtrack of my life. Life gets better every day, but it will never be the same. Thank you Röyksopp & Robyn!
I was 34 when I had cardio myopathy. It means my heart is enlarged and the muscles on my left side of heart is damaged. I am now 52 and refuse to let this disease beat me. I'm not the same, I get tired easy and there are days I just stay in bed. Praying has helped me a lot. Stay young and live free.. life is short, enjoy it
I was passing by the São Francisco river in Alagoas, Brazil. This song was playing in the car and I had an almost mystical experience. This song has been marked in my head ever since. I feel chills whenever I listen. Gratitude. From Fortaleza, Brazil.
I was taken aback when working as a lifeguard as a kid when Peter Bjorn and John, "The Chills" played on the PA, then Hard Candy Christmas at another job, nobody pays attention to how dark the lyrics are.
this song embodies the feeling of existing for me. i used to listen to it a lot when i was depressed and it felt dark then. now it makes me feel alive.
You don't listen to this, you step into it and experience it. They are incredible, the song and video. And, of course, the people who created this and shared it with us.
Same. Listening through headphones. I was actually asleep and woke up to this playing. Then, dozed off again. Later when I woke up I was like what the hell was that song playing earlier. I was hooked to it. Thankful I was able to go back and find the song to see who and what it was.

This may be one of my favorite songs of all time! Certainly makes my top five! I’ve played it on repeat literally hundreds of times. It’s just perfect!
I know when you first listen this song you don't feel that it's right (coz you haven't listened to something like this ever before) but then after one or two repeats, this is kinda crazy that this song goes deep into your soul subconsciously. You are stuck with this song forever and then you start to realize that what meaning it has. Beautiful depiction of life. No matter what are you doing whether sleeping or staying awake doing your job this monument 🏛 keeps playing in your head and soul. I know this is something I can't explain but this is happening to me ever since I discovered it. I want this song to be, "when I'm gone" song for me.
Yes it definitely is original and beautiful. To be honest, from the first time listening this song I did feel that it is right - well, it became an everyday song. Can't take my 'ears' off it.
I am 69 and one of my younger neighbours was surprised, when they came to borrow something and found Royksopp playing on the laptop in my kitchen. :) I love their music and this video is superb.
It's amazing what one can do with PLC synthesisers, Korgi Organs and Beat Box Electro Drum banks. All this gear was mothballed back in the late 80's. What goes around eventually comes around, age has excluded me from acceptance but I always love to hear artist's keeping the dream alive. Poetry, the rhythm of the body and sweet sounds are what it's all about. It's timeless. Cheers.
I heard it live yesterday in Katowice on Tauron Nowa Muzyka festival and I can't stop listening it. And listening to it live it was awesome, and those lights, wow! I'll remember it forever! 🥰
This song means something different every single time I hear it. It evokes so much emotion. This is a spectacular and well written song. Gorgeous. They collaborate so well. It really is special.
6 years have gone by since I first saw this and it still remains one of the best (if not THE best) video clips I've ever seen. Few things have the power to teleport to other places like this one does. Love it 🖤
SAME. I just found out last year or maybe 2022, and I was so upset to realize that. It's such an incredible song. It's truly magic when Royksopp and Robyn get together!
i can not imagine a more sophisticated way of expressing feeling of anxiety. this is pure art. this is the represantation of what david represents for sculpture, in music. times i listen this sing, are the only times i feel like it is still worth to be alive and still to be capable of feeling somethings. thanks people for creating music like this.
I love Metal - nearly exclusively listen to my favorite bands. And here comes youtube and suggests this song to me. The first time, YT changed my life for the better! o. O I dig that songs for whatever reason - won't get out of my head.

I lost my dad last year to brain cancer (glioma stage 4). This song makes wanna cry every moment, thinking what the hell was going on inside his had before his last breath. I wish I could comfort him of all the pain and the terror of the unknown.
OMG I felt that. The truth, I believe, is you could not have truly empathized with him on his trip to the unknown, because you'll only know it when you make it yourself. But if he felt your love before passing, you gave him all you could, and to him that would have been enough.Love was the only and best thing you could give, and you gave it. You did enough, honey.😗😗💓💓❤
We know that the brain makes us feel happy when we are dieing, the "Heaven" feeling many that return have. While it seems very mean to say this, you shouldn't focus on the last days of his life, but the many years shared. The love doesn't go anywhere.
Io ho perso mia Mamma per un cancro al cervello... posso capire molto bene il tuo dolore. L'ho vista spegnersi giorno per giorno... sono passati 7 anni ed il dolore è sempre lì. Ti abbraccio da lontano😔
I feel for you but how lucky you are I lost my dad at the prime age of 2 weeks old not nice never met him but if you believe in jesus then the resurrection will fall in your lap may jehovah be with you sorry about your loss x
I've found this song just in this days! ...I was taken away to another world across this MAGIC! OMG?? What is it?? The power of real music?? I LOVE IT!

I have my doubts... This song is wonderful, ethereal, transcendental... But tell me... How many songs does the group have in that same vibe? It doesn't even look like royksopp. I'll change my mind if you show me more songs in this environmental, ethereal, mystical, spiritual footprint... If all the songs were like that, they would be quite a group... This song and this clip is a philosophical.. work of art... the rest... it's just fun dancing songs
@@Diego_Curcino Why on earth would you want any artist to have all songs in their opus in a same manner? That is the beauty of Royksopp in particular, no two albums are the same. Melody A.M. f.ex. in one of the best electronic music albums ever made. Here's a few other gems to discover: eple, in space, here she comes again, if you want me, what else is there... I mean, do your homework man, wtf?
The first time I heard this song was when A-ha played it on their speakers when they did their concert at Scarborough Open Air Theatre in the UK in 2022. I LOVE this song! 😍
I love this song so much I would ask my family to play it at my funeral. Thank you so much for creating such a beautiful piece of music. I truly wish I could thank you in person and express how this song affects me. Thank you :)
This video fits the feeling of the music well. The scene when Royksopp's eyes roll back like a skinchanger from GOT is awesome! I also feel that way listening to the song. It's deep and hits a chord beyond the 8th chakra. LOVE IT!!
It seems weird that such a trippy video is not even about drugs, meditation or some religious experience. Robyn described this song as being "about death", "defining who you are" and "a physical sensation of an emotion," inspired by the Juliana Cerqueira Leite clay sculptures she saw at London's Saatchi Gallery. The song's music clip was directed by Robyn's frequent collaborator Max Vitali. The director explained that the video is about, "exploring the space around you and finding your own space in it all."
for god sake! this is.. overwhelming, and i meant really overwhelming, somoving, the beat, the development of the sound and the constancy of the beat is like a heart beating, and the lyri, well, such amazing pfff this thing has inspired me to make an sculpture!! and im going to!! :D amazing, just amazing, im completely speechless and is wonderful
This is just fantastic! I still can't believe I was actually in Tromso in the 90's when Royksopp were just starting out. A fabulous, timeless sound just as fresh today as all those years ago.
I came across this amazing song and video by chance. It spoke to me. I have a PET scan this week (I'll be made mildly radioactive). The song made me focus on my own mortality yet coincidentally addressed some of my fears. Robyn is in top form (as ever) and much aided by Royksopp and an excellent video. Haunting and memorable.
The monument is your body. If you just listen to the words ( because this type of beat is meant to hypnotize you) she is being spoken through by the force. It is declaring her body as it's territory. It's serious, guys.
@@positivehighvibesx Hi, I think MONUMENT is unic. But in the past I liked listening WOODKID - IRON or not so known THOMAS AZIER - SHADE OF BLACK. 🎵 🎶 🎧
I had no idea Robyn used to be a pop princess. When I found out, first I was disappointed, but now I am actually impressed by the nerve and bravery to join with Royksopp, and her voice is perfect for it.
Evolution of pop is different in all countries. In the 2000's when pop went more rnb in the US, it went more indie in Sweden with bands like The Knife, Kent, The tough alliance, the hives, håkan hellström, broder daniel, Robyn etc
@@davidLAMF I’ve heard of Kent and The Knife, not the others. Correct me if I’m wrong, but Robyn was a pop singer long before she collaborated with Royksopp, wasn’t she? Sweden has always produced successful pop, and also death metal. Wasn’t aware if the indie scene at all.
@@PersonalityMalfunction Yes when she dropped her first album I think she was 16, but she is still considered a pop star, at least here. I think maybe our view of what it means to be a pop artist is different. It is not considered negative to be a pop artist. Indie scene here was huge, at least in 2000's when it was a thing in UK too, which of course influenced Sweden. Karin from the knife started out in a more indie rock kind of band called Honey Is Cool (not very good IMO). The Concretes, Lykke Li, Mando Diao, The Radio Dept, could argue The Cardigans played indie rock. At some point electronic indie started taking over. Though I'm getting older so I'm not staying as up to date as back in the day :)
@@davidLAMF Tell me about it, brother, I spent my miss spent youth listening to DAF, Kraftwerk, Nitzer Ebb and Front 242. I don’t think the label of pop star is in itself negative. I myself have found Britney Spears and Katy Perry soothing in my old age! Just the usual poserism of wanting to be seen as being on the fringe! I’ve heard of Lykke Li and of course the Cardigans, but the other bands you mention are completely foreign to me. Going for a TH-cam dive!
I'm so happy with this. The video perfectly captures the feeling and emotion of the song. The vastness of it all, the feeling of being a tiny vessel in the universe. It's beautiful, but also sad in a way. Bravo, Röyksopp, Robyn, and Max Vitali.
We started writing Monument after playing around with a software that can stretch short bits of music into billions of years of sound. It made total sense to me that Max wanted to explore this floating feeling and mediation in the video...
Thank you for SO MUCH
It's fantastic! it definitely evokes emotion

Make a world
Are you ruling?
Make a world
That I used to be
I will let this monument
Represent a moment of my life life life
Of my life life life
Of my life
I will let this monument
Represent a moment of my life life life
Of my life life life
Of my life
Make a cast of my body
Pull back out,
So that I can see
Make a world
Are you ruling?
Make a world
That I used to be
Dead or whole
- dig a hole
Not cart, but carve. Not pull back out, but pull back now. Not that, but what I used to be.
Wow you spot on. Tribute to your spiritual discernment.
Het is een wonder.
Het is een oneindig wonder.
Bewustzijn is het doel.
Je omgeving verzorgen is de weg.
Geef het door.
**"So that when the moment comes I can say I did it all with love".
This may be one of my favorite songs of all time! Certainly makes my top five! I’ve played it on repeat literally hundreds of times. It’s just perfect!
I know when you first listen this song you don't feel that it's right (coz you haven't listened to something like this ever before) but then after one or two repeats, this is kinda crazy that this song goes deep into your soul subconsciously. You are stuck with this song forever and then you start to realize that what meaning it has. Beautiful depiction of life. No matter what are you doing whether sleeping or staying awake doing your job this monument 🏛 keeps playing in your head and soul. I know this is something I can't explain but this is happening to me ever since I discovered it. I want this song to be, "when I'm gone" song for me.
You are correct sir....
Yes sir
Yes it definitely is original and beautiful. To be honest, from the first time listening this song I did feel that it is right - well, it became an everyday song. Can't take my 'ears' off it.
I am 69 and one of my younger neighbours was surprised, when they came to borrow something and found Royksopp playing on the laptop in my kitchen. :) I love their music and this video is superb.

I hope you have some serious speakers hooked up to that laptop. Playing this on a laptop, is just wrong. ;o)
@@steenbirkedahl2442 Hello Steen, You are right of course; the speakers that I have hooked up are not so hot but my wifi headphones are. :)
@@davidmannukraine Cool man, just saying because I had lousy speakers for a long time, but finally got some great ones.
So this is how the beginning of the Universe sounded like. Good to know. Thank you.
Beginning and the end.

A message to the future generations: "DON'T LET THIS SONG DIE" 💞👌😊👍
Music never truly dies. Sometimes it just gets lost for a while until someone else rediscovers it.
Not the kind of video you show family or friends at a party, but absolute bliss to witness in solitude. Wow.
'So when the time comes, I can say I did it all with love.' Beautiful and sad.
So make a cast, of my body...
Of what I used to be.
This will be my monument.
It's amazing what one can do with PLC synthesisers, Korgi Organs and Beat Box Electro Drum banks. All this gear was mothballed back in the late 80's. What goes around eventually comes around, age has excluded me from acceptance but I always love to hear artist's keeping the dream alive. Poetry, the rhythm of the body and sweet sounds are what it's all about. It's timeless. Cheers.
I heard it live yesterday in Katowice on Tauron Nowa Muzyka festival and I can't stop listening it. And listening to it live it was awesome, and those lights, wow! I'll remember it forever! 🥰
Pure masterpiece. This is my funeral song for sure
Thinking the same..
You have time again
Yes.
Same thought... so I told my daughter
my *suicide song
This song means something different every single time I hear it. It evokes so much emotion. This is a spectacular and well written song. Gorgeous. They collaborate so well. It really is special.
6 years have gone by since I first saw this and it still remains one of the best (if not THE best) video clips I've ever seen. Few things have the power to teleport to other places like this one does. Love it 🖤
How is it that I didn't hear this song until 2023? This is AMAZING!!!
Never to Late!!!👍
Join the club! Same here, unfortunately. Anyway, better than never! :)
Then you must hear sordid affair. My favorit from Röyksopp.
SAME. I just found out last year or maybe 2022, and I was so upset to realize that. It's such an incredible song. It's truly magic when Royksopp and Robyn get together!
For me, this is one of those songs that you kinda dismiss the first few times hearing it, then all of the sudden it hooks you and you fall in love.
i can not imagine a more sophisticated way of expressing feeling of anxiety. this is pure art. this is the represantation of what david represents for sculpture, in music. times i listen this sing, are the only times i feel like it is still worth to be alive and still to be capable of feeling somethings. thanks people for creating music like this.
This isn’t about anxiety at all.
obviously to you, it is not.
To each their own
No one's interpretation is absolute
Nah, not anxiety at all. I have panic disorder and this song is one of the few thinga that calm me immediately along with Lyfjaberg by Wardruna.
I'm seriously addicted to this song. I've been listening to it for a week now
The BRASS KILLS ME EVERY TIME!!!
I love Metal - nearly exclusively listen to my favorite bands. And here comes youtube and suggests this song to me. The first time, YT changed my life for the better! o. O I dig that songs for whatever reason - won't get out of my head.
Tears flowed down my face because this is so beautiful
This video brings chills down to my soul. Artistic genius.
No doubt.
Make a space
For my body.
Dig a hole.
Push the sides apart.
This is what
I'm controlling.
It's a moat
The inside that I carve.
This will be my monument
This will be a beacon when I'm gone
Gone, gone
When I'm gone
Gone, gone
When I'm gone
So that when the moment comes,
I can say I did it all with love
Love, love
All with love
Love, love
All with love
Make a cast
Of my body.
Pull back out,
So that I can see.
Let go of
How you knew me.
Let go of

That feeling when you have a night when TH-cam FINALLY keeps suggesting you nothing but the coolest music....one video after another.... :D
yes! my story tonight 🍻
Enjoy! :)
I lost my dad last year to brain cancer (glioma stage 4). This song makes wanna cry every moment, thinking what the hell was going on inside his had before his last breath. I wish I could comfort him of all the pain and the terror of the unknown.
OMG I felt that. The truth, I believe, is you could not have truly empathized with him on his trip to the unknown, because you'll only know it when you make it yourself. But if he felt your love before passing, you gave him all you could, and to him that would have been enough.Love was the only and best thing you could give, and you gave it. You did enough, honey.😗😗💓💓❤
Oh, im so sorry to hear that.
We know that the brain makes us feel happy when we are dieing, the "Heaven" feeling many that return have. While it seems very mean to say this, you shouldn't focus on the last days of his life, but the many years shared. The love doesn't go anywhere.
Io ho perso mia Mamma per un cancro al cervello... posso capire molto bene il tuo dolore. L'ho vista spegnersi giorno per giorno... sono passati 7 anni ed il dolore è sempre lì. Ti abbraccio da lontano😔
I feel for you but how lucky you are I lost my dad at the prime age of 2 weeks old not nice never met him but if you believe in jesus then the resurrection will fall in your lap may jehovah be with you sorry about your loss x
I must have listened to this song a thousand times and it gets better every time.
Same😍
exactly
It’s hard to stop 😂
Эта песня и другие этой группы дают огромное количество энергии !!!
Полностью согласен, чудная группа.
I've found this song just in this days! ...I was taken away to another world across this MAGIC! OMG?? What is it?? The power of real music?? I LOVE IT!
If you like this video, I think you will enjoy the "What else is there?" video, from Röyksopp too.

This is probably the best music video I have ever seen and the song itself is absolutely amazing...
...kocham sensualnosc swiatow wyobrazni,gdy muzyczne utkania mnie prowadza dookreślają tajemnica,gdy...nie wiem co sie wydarzy,a moze tym bardziej poddaje sie temu,aby poznac zmyslow dotkniecia...zderzaja sie emocje,a ja poddana im chce trwaaac doswiaaadczac tylkoTYCH dzwiekowych obrazow...podroz istnienia we wszechswiecie w nieskonczonej przyjemnosci przeplywow...prosba o niepamiec-tak ona cialo pokona lecz serca nigdy nieee
Piekna metafora,,,muzyka nawiazuje do g£ebszej refleksji...najlepiej zamknac oczy I poddac sie tym frekfencjom
Pozdrawiam🤗
Two years later. Still listening. Still enjoying every single second.
Since five years ago im still enjoying
☺ 👍
😏😋
actually Royksopp is underrated duo....they are one of the best synth Pop producers in Europe
they're not underrated, they just don't need to dip in the american carnage
i dont like your mood pal , get out of here , this song is not for the aggressive kind of your ........pshhhh pshhhh ( angry cat noise )
Right up there with The Knife!
I have my doubts... This song is wonderful, ethereal, transcendental...
But tell me... How many songs does the group have in that same vibe? It doesn't even look like royksopp.
I'll change my mind if you show me more songs in this environmental, ethereal, mystical, spiritual footprint...
If all the songs were like that, they would be quite a group...
This song and this clip is a philosophical.. work of art... the rest... it's just fun dancing songs
@@Diego_Curcino Why on earth would you want any artist to have all songs in their opus in a same manner? That is the beauty of Royksopp in particular, no two albums are the same. Melody A.M. f.ex. in one of the best electronic music albums ever made.
Here's a few other gems to discover: eple, in space, here she comes again, if you want me, what else is there... I mean, do your homework man, wtf?
The song I needed. The rhythm too. That floating feeling.
The first time I heard this song was when A-ha played it on their speakers when they did their concert at Scarborough Open Air Theatre in the UK in 2022. I LOVE this song! 😍
I love this song so much I would ask my family to play it at my funeral. Thank you so much for creating such a beautiful piece of music. I truly wish I could thank you in person and express how this song affects me. Thank you :)
I feel the same 🙏🥰
This video fits the feeling of the music well. The scene when Royksopp's eyes roll back like a skinchanger from GOT is awesome! I also feel that way listening to the song. It's deep and hits a chord beyond the 8th chakra. LOVE IT!!
What ?!
Belabyad Naoufal GOT= Game of Thrones. Is that what you were asking with your "what ?!" comment?
Yes :D . And im asking how can you do this analysing .. :D
Belabyad Naoufal I just feel it and relate it to what I know and see.
Awesome :D
I've been listening to this song for 7 years, it's still beautiful
Burda bir Türk'le karşılaşmayı hiç beklemiyodum
Same here ❤️ sending you hugs
Music that was ahead of its time
for me, this song goes straight to my soul and awakens and revives it. it makes me feel alive again
Amen Kayla. What a wonderful way to say it. :)
Thank you for this. It's exactly the feeling this song evokes in me as well. :)
i keep saying "this is what my soul sounds like". i'm glad people feel the same way.
how did anybody create such a beautiful piece of art?
Yes.
Absolutely stunning!
Talanted beautiful Robyn and Röyksopp=magic💜
yes that's is mos
a youtube tutorial...
I'm 157 now, still appreciate Robyn. was on her show once in 2011 when I was only 149
Lmao, did you discover immortality?
@@camaroman101 me to, just noticed this trend, dont know whats the purpose, don't ask)))
you liar....dont pretend to be so young just to be accepted online
Loool
That’s amazing I’m a young at heart 224 and love it!
This song needs more attention asap! 🖤🖤🖤
I am addicted to this. So many emotions going through me. Thankyou Robyn
I had not heard monumnet until like this week. I am obsessed with it though. I love this track. I am so gald Röyksopp & Robyn made it
i'm listening this song like a mantra. over and over.. feels like i'm enchanted with it.
It is a mantra )
Can't blame on you for it. :)

you should also listen to it with weed ;)
Sure this is Art; thanks so much for this beautifull video

❤❤amazing
2021 is the first time I hear this masterpiece. Thanks TH-cam for finally a perfect recommendation 👍🏼
This song is beautiful, and the video is riveting!
It feels like there should be a full story to it - it should be a movie.
Stunning!
It seems weird that such a trippy video is not even about drugs, meditation or some religious experience.
Robyn described this song as being "about death", "defining who you are" and "a physical sensation of an emotion," inspired by the Juliana Cerqueira Leite clay sculptures she saw at London's Saatchi Gallery.
The song's music clip was directed by Robyn's frequent collaborator Max Vitali.
The director explained that the video is about, "exploring the space around you and finding your own space in it all."
Cant say it defines lsd trip and death of ego can he? ;)
One thing u ou oi Rio
I
resonates very much with "space consciousness" as explored/explained by Eckhart Tolle
@@upshiftgo on drugs, religiously.
I love Monument. Röyksopp got me through a lot of airplane time. So grateful.
My favorite Robyn song/collab. Also, can we all recognize how she brought back the mullet before it became popular again? Ahead of the game!
2014/15 seems like it was a nostalgic little window of time right before shit hit the fan again.
Listening this song for the first time with closed eyes, literaly gave me goosebumps. A simple yet extraordinary masterpiece.
Music is art and only gets old in the minds of people who see it other than art...😎
This is pure art. This song is art, this composition is art, this video is art. Thank you so much for let us feeling these emotions
This has an ethereal, new age, transcending vibe to it which I love. Very soothing and meditative.
for god sake! this is.. overwhelming, and i meant really overwhelming, somoving, the beat, the development of the sound and the constancy of the beat is like a heart beating, and the lyri, well, such amazing pfff this thing has inspired me to make an sculpture!! and im going to!! :D amazing, just amazing, im completely speechless and is wonderful
Wow i think this song is a masterpiece. The sounds are magnificient!
This is just fantastic! I still can't believe I was actually in Tromso in the 90's when Royksopp were just starting out. A fabulous, timeless sound just as fresh today as all those years ago.
This music made me cry today. Don't know why. Felt like it's touching my soul.
... as a all of slow Roksopp slow songs...
Me too.
One of the most beautiful songs I have ever experienced. Goosebumps in the back of my brain, wow.
I came across this amazing song and video by chance. It spoke to me. I have a PET scan this week (I'll be made mildly radioactive). The song made me focus on my own mortality yet coincidentally addressed some of my fears. Robyn is in top form (as ever) and much aided by Royksopp and an excellent video. Haunting and memorable.
Hope you are well
I frikkin love this song. It's a go-to when I need to shake off a slump or get moving. I always have to listen to it at least twice in a row.
what can I say .... what a collaboration.... im in heaven
This song makes me want to dance, and cry, at the same time.
Bro, do you even get high? Try that while listening to this song and get back to us.
🤍
that's true🌱💓⛅🌊🌳🌺
yup I just silly philly boy
yuppers
The monument is your body. If you just listen to the words ( because this type of beat is meant to hypnotize you) she is being spoken through by the force. It is declaring her body as it's territory. It's serious, guys.
Discovered MONUMENT in 2023 and can´t stop listening - it´s deep in me. Thank you for the music. + + +
Same
@@positivehighvibesx Hi, I think MONUMENT is unic. But in the past I liked listening WOODKID - IRON or not so known THOMAS AZIER - SHADE OF BLACK. 🎵 🎶 🎧
I always listen to this when I'm on long flights. It makes me fall asleep every time. I love this song
I had no idea Robyn used to be a pop princess. When I found out, first I was disappointed, but now I am actually impressed by the nerve and bravery to join with Royksopp, and her voice is perfect for it.
Evolution of pop is different in all countries. In the 2000's when pop went more rnb in the US, it went more indie in Sweden with bands like The Knife, Kent, The tough alliance, the hives, håkan hellström, broder daniel, Robyn etc
@@davidLAMF I’ve heard of Kent and The Knife, not the others. Correct me if I’m wrong, but Robyn was a pop singer long before she collaborated with Royksopp, wasn’t she? Sweden has always produced successful pop, and also death metal. Wasn’t aware if the indie scene at all.
@@PersonalityMalfunction Yes when she dropped her first album I think she was 16, but she is still considered a pop star, at least here. I think maybe our view of what it means to be a pop artist is different. It is not considered negative to be a pop artist.
Indie scene here was huge, at least in 2000's when it was a thing in UK too, which of course influenced Sweden.
Karin from the knife started out in a more indie rock kind of band called Honey Is Cool (not very good IMO). The Concretes, Lykke Li, Mando Diao, The Radio Dept, could argue The Cardigans played indie rock. At some point electronic indie started taking over. Though I'm getting older so I'm not staying as up to date as back in the day :)
@@davidLAMF Tell me about it, brother, I spent my miss spent youth listening to DAF, Kraftwerk, Nitzer Ebb and Front 242. I don’t think the label of pop star is in itself negative. I myself have found Britney Spears and Katy Perry soothing in my old age! Just the usual poserism of wanting to be seen as being on the fringe! I’ve heard of Lykke Li and of course the Cardigans, but the other bands you mention are completely foreign to me. Going for a TH-cam dive!
I'm so happy with this. The video perfectly captures the feeling and emotion of the song. The vastness of it all, the feeling of being a tiny vessel in the universe. It's beautiful, but also sad in a way. Bravo, Röyksopp, Robyn, and Max Vitali.
Beautiful words
So many extraordinary songs on Royskopp,s The Inevitable End album, the beautifully sad "You know I have to go" is stunning.
