Nice to have friends sometimes… Take 2

A few years ago Efterklang started a project to help music education and to encourage young musicians. They provided a free downloadable kit including their music in sheet form as well other materials. Eventually they recorded some joint performances with some of the kids.
If you get a chance to see Efterklang live don’t miss it. Great energy and crowd interactions. Genuinely nice group of people. Live has a lot of fun solos and diverges nicely from the recording studio.

[details=Lyrics]You’re always a follow
We will cross that line and get away
To the hope that follows
For the dream that swears on better days
Can you hear them calling ?
Can you hear them falling now ?
Can you hear them coming ?
Can you hear them falling now ?
Can you hear them coming ?
Can you hear them falling out ?
There is nowhere to escape
There is nowhere
There isn’t anywhere
There is nowhere to escape
There is nowhere
There isn’t anywhere
There is nowhere to escape
Only rythms that will keep you awake
Can you hear them calling ?
Can you hear them falling now ?
Can you hear them coming ?
Can you hear them falling out ?
I can hear it
I can hear them calling out
For the river
I can hear it all
I can hear it
I can hear them calling out
For the rythm
I can hear it all[/details]

Mouse On Mars - Actionist Respoke (2001)
Current mood.
ionnalee is the solo project of Jonna Lee, who has spent the past decade making enigmatic and alluring pop music as part of iamamiwhoami. Currently going it alone, the Swedish artist released what she calls her first audiovisual single “SAMARITAN” in March. Today, June 2, her follow-up “NOT HUMAN” is premiering on The FADER.
Interview at Fader
I really enjoyed her initial releases as iamamiwhoami when everyone was trying to guess who she was.

Take On Me always makes me think of the “literal video” version now

ODESZA – Say My Name (feat. Zyra)
[details=Lyrics]I wanna go so what’d you say
When you gonna let me know
If you give a damn about me
’Cause you got my hands tied
In my defense I always fall for confidence
And your compliments look good on me
'Cause nobody knows it better
Than the girl in the corner with the scarlet letter
And while you’re watching
You may think that she doesn’t matter
But no one knows you better, oh yeah
I wanna dance, I wanna dance with you
So take a chance, take a chance, oh yeah
I wanna dance, I wanna dance with you
So take a chance, take a chance, oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
I need a sign or a signal
I’ve overthought everything I can think of into symbol
I need the coat and your jacket
And the remnants of your cigarette packet
I wanna go so what’d you say
When you gonna let me know
If you give a damn about me
’Cause you got my hands tied
In my defense I always fall for confidence
And your compliments look good on me
'Cause nobody knows it better
Than the girl in the corner with the scarlet letter
And while you’re watching
You may think that she doesn’t matter
But no one knows you better
I wanna dance, I wanna dance, I wanna dance with you
So take a chance, take a chance, oh yeah
I wanna dance, I wanna dance, I wanna dance with you

Interesting. Did they both take the video from a common source? I always assumed the Moan video was a mix of original launch footage plus new footage for that video.

[details=Lyrics][Chorus 1]
You say there is nothing to hide
There is nothing to change
Just look into my eyes
And there’s no stuff too
You say there is nothing to hide
There is nothing to change
Just look into my eyes
And there’s no stuff too
[Chorus 2]
And the wind goes round and it follows the back sides
We’re running down roads and crossing track stones
Pay for the ticket, just enjoy the circus
Run away another day
And the wind goes round and it follows the back sides
We’re running down roads and crossing track stones
Pay for the ticket, just enjoy the circus
Run away another day
[Chorus 1]
You say there is nothing to hide
There is nothing to change
Just look into my eyes
And there’s no stuff too
You say there is nothing to hide
There is nothing to change
Just look into my eyes
And there’s no stuff too
[Verse 1]
You keep it flying so high
But lock it down low so it feels right
Just look into the sky and it becomes you
Sweeping through on a dark night
Lifting me up into arms tight
Open up my mind and it becomes you
[Chorus 2]
And the wind goes round and it follows the back sides
We’re running down roads and crossing track stones
Pay for the ticket, just enjoy the circus
Run away another day
And the wind goes round and it follows the back sides
We’re running down roads and crossing track stones
Pay for the ticket, just enjoy the circus
Run away another day
(Nobody seems to, nobody seems to)
[Verse 2]
And it’s times like these when you wish you weren’t
A double-eight-nine-six wishing bird
And nobody seems to fly at your level
Just go faster than the others
And it’s times like these when you wish you weren’t
A double-eight-nine-six wishing bird
And nobody seems to fly at your level
Just go faster than the others
(Nobody seems to, nobody seems to)
Just got faster than the others, faster than the others
Faster than the others, faster than the others
Go faster than the others
(Faster than the others)
[Verse 1]
You keep it flying so high
But lock it down low so it feels right
Just look into the sky and it becomes you
Sweeping through on a dark night
Lifting me up into arms tight
Open up my mind and it becomes you[/details]
It looks like they lifted the Trentemøller video and added the JoCo song to it.
Here, have something more original

Oh I see. Great video. Interesting guy. He sounds familiar but I wasn’t specifically aware of him. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Coulton

He is. Most people know him from the Portal themes, but he’s actually produced quite a lot. His songs are well crafted and the lyrics are funny and clever. I would recommend listening to…well, everything.
He also hooks in with the Wil Wheaton/Felicia Day/John Scalzi nerd crowd and organises an annual cruise (JoCo Cruise Crazy) for nerds. He’s one of the good guys.
Here’s a song about pants.

Nice on all counts. Someone just mentioned Jonathan Coulton on the other site in the McCain thread. Now I imagine I will notice him everywhere.

Oh, he also did that version of Baby’s Got Back that was ripped off by Glee, and he did the opening recap/theme songs for Braindead. Yeah, he’s everywhere.

[details=Lyrics]It’s unfortunate that when we feel a stone
We can roll ourselves over 'cause we’re uncomfortable
Oh well, the devil makes us sin
But we like it when we’re spinning in his grip
Love is like a sin, my love
For the ones that feel it the most
Look at her with her eyes like a flame
She will love you like a fly will never love you again
It’s unfortunate that when we feel a stone
We can roll ourselves over when we’re uncomfortable
Oh well, the devil makes us sin
But we like it when we’re spinning in his grip
Love is like a sin, my love
For the one that feels it the most
Look at her with a smile like a flame
She will love you like a fly will never love you again[/details]

RY X / Frank Wiedemann “HOWLING”
[details=Lyrics]Hot nights coming
Keep the car running
Lavender fingers
Swallow my pollen
Gold I fell into your spell
On the rite of god we fell
You were plush and I laid bare
You had me howling
Cold I fell into your skin
On the night you led me
Under your sin
You had me howling
You had me howling
Blush
Golden siren
Under exposing
Come lay your weakness down
On the floor in the backseat
Gold I fell into your spell
On the rite of god we fell
You were plush and I laid bare
You had me howling
Cold I fell into your skin
On the night you led me
Under your sin
You had me howling
You had me howling
Blush
