Lyrics: Here it ends No one’s gonna shed a tear No need to shout Just to stand the silence well spent time In the early morning’s haze You sit and wait Watching full glasses through blank eyes This is not What you wanted Not What you had in mind Vacuous winter stare Worn out version of yourself To tough to fall But not strong enough to turn This is not What you wanted Not What you had in mind
I've heard this album in full already and good lord it is another one to add to the list of great 2013 electronic albums. Many of the songs draw on Burial's sounds and UK Garage in general, but there is still the distinctive Moderat sound. Amazing production.
"The story is set in and around London / England in the year 1966 and features a descendent of the English aristocracy who turns from being an ambitious young man into a ruthless power broker."
Watch MODERAT perform "BAD KINGDOM" live and in 1080p HD video at Electronic Beats Festival in Prague (28 March 2014): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YA9e0fAKquA.html
Just came back from seeing their show in Montreal, it was epic! They opened with this incredible song, there was a 3D screen projecting this excellent video, and everyone was just BLOWN-AWAY!!! And yeah, he was singing soooo gooood :)
God I love this track. it embodies exactly how I feel about our global society. "This is not what I wanted and Not what I had in mind." POWER TO THE PEOPLE
I recently went to an interpretation of 'An Ideal Husband' by Oscar Wilde(in NTgent, in Belgium) and thinking about it. This music video actually touches some similar ground. The main character even looks like the actor who played Robert Chiltern in the play. What a coincidence.
I remember seeing Modeselektor and Pfadfinderei live...best show ever. But I always preferred the music of Moderat...sooo...this is the best of both worlds!
[Verse 1] Here it ends No one’s gonna shed a tear No need to shout Just to stand the silence [Verse 2] (A) well spent time In the early morning’s haze You sit and wait Watching full glasses through blank eyes [Hook] This is not What you wanted Not What you had in mind This is not What you wanted, oh Not What you had in mind [Verse 3] Vacuous winter stare Worn out version of yourself Too tough to fall But not strong enough to turn But not strong enough to turn But not strong enough to turn
only 4 years catching up. hey! a new rekindle of a talented artist. this guy is madder than mad. hands down the best vid I've seen, since the 80's. yeah! i'm old but back then they told stories, as this one did. and it's appropriate for these times. spot on I'd say!
Great song, I love the refrain: "This is not what you wanted.... Not what you had in mind... Ooohhh" Set against the music video it is for me a direct response (and criticism) to the great minds and revolutionary rulers of the enlightenment, such as Adam Smith and Thomas Jefferson. The song depicts how the ideals of Liberalism (in the classical sense) and Capitalism were corrupted to serve the emergence of Corporate Imperialism across the globe. It shows a fraction of the destruction and death that these ideas have caused. Despite the fact that corporations might diversify power more than feudal or monarchic states in the past, it hasn't solved many of the problems it was intended to. Chiefly, Corporate Imperialism comes with its own unique set of evils, not the least of which is the exponential expansion of GREED as a virtue in society.
Seit Release! Immer wenn ich mir zwischen ne spirituelle Session gönne kipp ich da rein und finde dass Sie no nen perfekten Flow für nen 1-Move-hat. Also von Start bis Ende alles voll geschmeidig ;D
I wished someone made a movie out of this in the exact same style (blue-lined illustration). A young, ambitious British aristocrat teenager who wishes to escape the system of power and cold-heartness just to see himself finally turn into what he hates most, a ruthless and criminal industrialist who finally pays for it, losing all he had.
when I realized there was a new moderat song out, I told myself id wait til the album dropped...almost 20 listens later, i'm finding the best punishment for my impatience is to keep hitting repeat,
I'm 99% sure it's Apparat, it does sound a lot like him, especially when you listen to his vocals on his "The Devils Walk" album. I think he's progressively been working more and more on his vocal style and skill during his time as a producer, definitely sounds like him, and definitely sounds great.
When I hear this song, I keep reminding myself how blind and sturdy we run through life and the fact that everything breaks down. I am stunned how each one of us watches as the humanity and the world that was given to us go to the ground. Your faithful, unquestioning, all-revealing, good citizen rofland
