What Else Is There?

When I first heard this song, it felt spacey to me - I felt I understood it.  The first thing I thought of was posting it here, sharing it with you.  I’ve listened to it over and over again.  It still feels embryonic to me.  Take the time to hear it, watch it.  As with all art, it’s meant to induce questions and illicit feelings, perhaps even satisfy a chord within you, as it has with me.

I've shared my pain, my love, exercised my demons and expressed some thoughts on concepts (though there are still a few to cover, I'm not sure if I'll touch on them or not - I'll play it by feel). 

I've hoped you've travelled with me, and I think you have; Thank You.  I was hoping this endeavour would be a bit more interactive, but you, like me, are likely selective and introverted by nature.  I can respect that.  I wish you'd use your voice now and then though - share it with me, it wouldn't feel so lonely.  I wouldn't feel so alone in this place.  I wish you were here singing me a song, reading a poem or just watching the stars with me.  All Warriors need rest, maybe we can watch the storm go by, together.

What Else Is There? By Röyksopp (Röyksopp)

It was me on that road
But you couldn't see me
Too many lights out, but nowhere near here

It was me on that road
Still you couldn't see me
And then flashlights and explosions

Roads end getting nearer
We cover distance but not together

I am the storm I am the wonder
And the flashlights nightmares
And sudden explosions

I don't know what more to ask for
I was given just one wish

It's about you and the sun
A morning run
The story of my maker
What I have and what I ache for

I've got a golden ear
I cut and I spear
And what else is there

Roads and getting nearer
We cover distance still not together

If I am the storm if I am the wonder
Will I have a flashlights nightmares
And sudden explosions

There's no room where I can go and
You've got secrets too

I don't know what more to ask for
I was given just one wish

It was me on that road
But you couldn't see me
Too many lights out, but nowhere near here

It was me on that road
Still you couldn't see me
And then flashlights and explosions

Roads end getting nearer
We cover distance but not together

I am the storm I am the wonder
And the flashlights nightmares
And sudden explosions

I don't know what more to ask for
I was given just one wish

It's about you and the sun
A morning run
The story of my maker
What I have and what I ache for

I've got a golden ear
I cut and I spear
And what else is there

Roads and getting nearer
We cover distance still not together

If I am the storm if I am the wonder
Will I have a flashlights nightmares
And sudden explosions

There's no room where I can go and
You've got secrets too

I don't know what more to ask for
I was given just one wish
