Remember when we'd hear the distant sound of human life?

Today's Recommended Listening: Vision One - Röyksopp
This is one of my top 3 Favorite bands.
Have you ever found one of those albums where every single song was awesome?
This band has not one, but TWO such albums.
Melody AM
Junior - The album Vision One is on.
I like this song for many reasons,
the lyrics strike me, the rhythm suits me, and the sound effects intrigue me.
It was described to me as the sound of 'someone playing a comb as an instrument'.


There was a time when all the shadows of these tall buildings
Would throw their cape around each corner of the grassy field
And one by one, each new shade, would cover the green way back;
Allowing changes that we could not have foreseen

Everybody let us gaze upon the world we created
And let's rest our eyes upon the great machine, as we wave goodbye
Feel the evening breeze caress your smile, the cities are dying
As we watch it fall to a modern state, a modern time

Remember when we'd hear the distant sound of human life?
A zillion noises whip our eyes that travel through the sky
And one by one, each little sound, has faded away with time,
Allowing changes that we could not have foreseen

Everybody let us say goodbye to all our notions.
'Cause there's not enough to say that we're humane, when we're left behind
It's too late to think that we can worship human emotions
'Cause we've already evolved into machines, in our minds
