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 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 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 discovered this song after my Dad died, lost my house, my dog and my 5 year relationship. Moved onto my Dads property with 5 cats and a lot of determination. It’s been on repeat through a lot of deconstruction and rough times. This property will represent a moment of my life…

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 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.
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'm dying of renal cell carcinoma. I'm currently on Opdivo, and it shows promise, but like the other chemos (votrient and afinitor) that I've been on, it too will stop being effective one day.

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 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.
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.
@@coreytyler6066 It took me a week to find this song again... I guess its been a year since I listened to it again. I thought I saved it to my playlist, but couldn't find it. So happy I did tho. 😊

I'm obsessed with this song, too. The video is an absolute work of art: it should have won awards. And the combination of the song and the video, I just wish it could go on forever, and that I could be in there with them! I wish my screen could suddenly get bigger and engulf everything, and me with it.

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 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
OMG!! i’ve heard some beautiful songs in my 67 years....but i think this is one of the MOST beautiful!! can’t stop playing this,and only sad that it’s taken me this long to discover it.👍😀❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

@@GhSt-vl5sq people like you are the same people that would attack an elderly person and think it was justified. No room for racist. Go play elsewhere. You're the same type of person who has been attacking asians in the United States. Coward.
I am in absolute awe of this. The subtelty, depth, incantation-like quality... The creative and unexpected elements (her mouthing of words unheard, and the unexpected, smooth, dreamy saxophone)... What I love most is the feeling that it left so much unsaid.
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."
...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
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 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.
Concordo, diria q onde moro e por estes lados tem mais “fama” mas é estupido como não são tipo, mais conhecidos. Acho a eles são como moderat. Extremely good mas não há muito povo a apreciar.
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 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 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.
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!
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 🖤
Honestly, music has been getting better and better recently. After finding just a few gems this year (even of stuff that is kinda older) my hope for the future of music is 👍💞🤯
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!
No big deal, I've just bought "Junior" few weaks ago, fan of" the understanding " discover röyksopp I was looking for" what else is there" Karin dreijer, etc when it came out in 2002 no internet etc listen all kind of music, royksopp 👍. From France.
@@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 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! 🥰
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!
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...

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.
I'm still obsessed with this masterpiece and I listen to it on repeat for days sometimes 😅this is one of those many days
I'm obsessed with this song, too. The video is an absolute work of art: it should have won awards. And the combination of the song and the video, I just wish it could go on forever, and that I could be in there with them! I wish my screen could suddenly get bigger and engulf everything, and me with it.

Lyrics
Make a space
For my body
Dead or whole
Push this side apart
This is what I'm controlling
It's a mold, the inside that I cart
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
Soon when that 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
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 song makes me want to dance, and cry, at the same time.

Music that was ahead of its time
Two years later. Still listening. Still enjoying every single second.
Since five years ago im still enjoying
☺ 👍

I started watching in my room and I don't know where I am now.
AWESOME review!
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!
An absolute classic song to chill on a rainy Sunday morning with a coffee
Saturday rainy night 👌
❤❤amazing
I must have listened to this song a thousand times and it gets better every time.
Same😍
exactly
It’s hard to stop 😂
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.
Not the kind of video you show family or friends at a party, but absolute bliss to witness in solitude. Wow.
Music is art and only gets old in the minds of people who see it other than art...😎
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
OMG!! i’ve heard some beautiful songs in my 67 years....but i think this is one of the MOST beautiful!! can’t stop playing this,and only sad that it’s taken me this long to discover it.👍😀❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
BUT
you are such a cliché
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.
I love Monument. Röyksopp got me through a lot of airplane time. So grateful.
Tears flowed down my face because this is so beautiful
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.
what can I say .... what a collaboration.... im in heaven
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
What 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.
Let go of
How you knew me.
Let go of
What I used to be
❤
Of my life..

I'm seriously addicted to this song. I've been listening to it for a week now
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. :)

I am in absolute awe of this. The subtelty, depth, incantation-like quality... The creative and unexpected elements (her mouthing of words unheard, and the unexpected, smooth, dreamy saxophone)... What I love most is the feeling that it left so much unsaid.
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? ;)

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.
versatile, classic, timeless, and spiritually powerful
Hi! Right click on the video and it will show you a menu. Click on Loop, first option of them all. ;)
Can’t undo perfection . Robyn #1 and only
the sax in this is the best!
Волшебно, нежно. Такое мощное женское начало!!!!
+Martin Demsky i like that too
The song I needed. The rhythm too. That floating feeling.
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.
Como pode essa dupla ainda não ter conseguido uma projeção internacional maior do que a atual???? Meu Deus são músicas ótimas
Concordo, diria q onde moro e por estes lados tem mais “fama” mas é estupido como não são tipo, mais conhecidos. Acho a eles são como moderat. Extremely good mas não há muito povo a apreciar.
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 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 🙏🥰
Is that trance?It did something to my brain i can not describe.
Damn...this is musical LSD
I think it's a mixture of ambient & down tempo
DMT
The beat is distinctly Latin American influenced. You could almost call it a Rhumba.
Roger Levy no just no
Electronic, electronica, dance, electro???
The more times I listen to this, the more I want to listen to this
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.
im just addicted to this 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.
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!
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 🖤
2019 where you at.. step your game up "artists" this is what music is and should always be...
Honestly, music has been getting better and better recently. After finding just a few gems this year (even of stuff that is kinda older) my hope for the future of music is 👍💞🤯
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.
Last Time, this song its an haven tunnel... Forever and ever and ever. Love ❤️
I always listen to this when I'm on long flights. It makes me fall asleep every time. I love this song
This is probably the best music video I have ever seen and the song itself is absolutely amazing...
I apologize to myself for discovering this song 7 years late.
Lol me to
X 3 me to
Me too. 😊
Fully with you on the regrets
No big deal, I've just bought "Junior" few weaks ago, fan of" the understanding " discover röyksopp I was looking for" what else is there" Karin dreijer, etc when it came out in 2002 no internet etc listen all kind of music, royksopp 👍. From France.
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. 🎵 🎶 🎧
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.
I just discovered this song in 2019...better late than never. 🎶🎧
Stephanie L me too. Just found it💥💥
Almost ends of 2019, aren't you lucky? ^^
I'll discover it in 2020
listen to inevitable end version of this song, it is smoething special
omg really
Was just introduced to this song by a dear friend. It's been on repeat since...it's so mesmerizing.

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! 🥰
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 felt the higher spirit.
So Godspeed.
I discovered this song today. Stong piece of music.
Me too heard from tik tok

August 2019... and still here, in my heart. Love you Robyn!!
