4 am, high and drunk to a level of stupidity, sitting on the bed and looking up at the lights as your mind struggles between overthinking and not thinking at all.. the beautiful clarity you get when you're free from crushing thought for just a few hours.. This is that feeling. Knowing that you have a problem with escaping from reality.
Everybody that is here commenting are the lucky ones that came across this music. This is truly a piece of art ❤️ I have wandered off in my mind into places I maybe have been trying to suppress regret. The past. Decision s. But at the same time it's enlightening sorrow. Idk.
This is seriously without a doubt the most wonderful sounding song i have ever heard. i feel like i wanna just lie in the grass and listen to it for a thousand years straight. and btw, i'm almost never poetic OR deep... so yeah, thats how good this song is. it makes me feel high or somefing!
This music makes me nostalgic... I can feel a kind of despair into this song that remind me worst and best part of my life and let all around me in a deep coma... Thank you so much Royksopp.
This song. It makes me feel so many emotions at once. Like I just want to sit an ponder things. The way music can change the way you think is just amazing. And this song does an amazing job if doing that.
Funny story. I went to work one more, and for some reason, this song absolutely touched me. I don't know why. I had heard it before, but this one morning on the way to work, I really listened. I pulled up to the stoplight. I screenshot it from Pandora. When I got to work, I sat in my car and looked at my photo album only to see this song called "The Alcoholic." I was stunned. I felt like there was a meaning behind it. I looked it up on RU-vid. The first video I clicked on was the one with the puppet. I broke down crying. That puppet was me.
This song gives me the feeling of a lot of weight getting taken off my shoulders. The sound of making it in this world; although I'm not there yet, i have a more clear vision. Simply a great feeling.
its not a fast song, but today while in a science lesson listening to this, my heart started beating and my blood preassure raised... i have no idea what this song does to me.. but its either good or bad . still, love the song because it has power over me .
F€&@ing good track! Listening to it every now and again... sadly other people then think i‘m going bonkers... they just don‘t understand that music doesn‘t always has to be as expected!
I love laying in bed at night looking out my bedroom window when the sky is clear i can see the moon and the stars....i put on this album and i feel like im being transended to another dimension:) and no i havnt smoked any weed;)
Such a beautiful track as ever from Royksopp if I had a set of decks in the house I'd be testing this out at different speeds Hint hint > nudge nudge 😏
@heavylurker I rather think it's how you feel when you're an alcoholic and start to drink. Everything starts to get sweet and mellow the more you get wasted.
*Good music video idea:* There's a girl, struggling with depression. She has a crush on a guy at her school. He's the only thing that makes her life worth living. Then she sees him hanging out with another girl. She starts to get suspicious, but puts it off thinking "it's probably just a friend." The next day, she's dropped off at school. She says goodbye to her mom, who's on her way to work, and hops out of the car. The girl thinks, "this is the day I'll tell him." She strides confidently into the school for the first time. Then she sees them holding hands. Tears stinging the corners of her eyes, she runs off. Blasting through the school doors, she runs and runs until she reaches the woods behind the school. A noose awaits her, hanging on a branch above a large rock. She slips her head into the loop, kicks the rock away, and her depressed soul floats slowly above the trees and searches for another body to possess. It finds a lonely girl who faces the same problem. The cycle repeats. Each time it does, the sequence shown on the screen gets faster and faster. At the last girl to be possessed, the boy she has a crush on tells her he loves her before it's too late. He stops the cycle, saving her life. You can make a difference in someone's life. #SaySomething
@ctparker914 i think it's meant to be a caricature of the 'thoughtful winter chillout music' album cover cliche, for irony of course as you would expect from these two
