Lyrics
There was a time…
Dark and devine…
Exciting and new.
shameful and true…
Free to explore,
we had it all:
Towering trust,
insatiable lust…
Clouding the truth,
both of us knew:
this sordid affair
is ending in tears…
Yes, we would go on,
knowing the wrong.
Until the day,
it was taken away…
Oh, all our love
fell down
to earth…
Here, broken and cold…
With grave remorse…
But for a while
it all made sense…
It might have been just a dark pretence,
but you had me…
And I loved it…
To be with you,
to be the one,
to live a lie,
it really got me all excited…
I felt wanted…
Then in the night,
the sorrow inside,
was taken away,
deliverance came…
Fell from the sky,
heaven replied…
Salvation in streams,
silent and clean…
All that we were,
all that we knew,
faded away,
with tears in the rain…
yes, all that we were,
all that we knew
is fading away,
like tears in the rain…
All that we were,
all that we knew…
…fading away…
All that we were,
all that we knew…
…fading away…
Is it normal for a 62yr old man to be loving this music ❤
yes
I would hope I’m 62 listening to this
It's normal to love something that you enjoy.
Wow 2024 just discovered beautiful song and rhythm ❤
2023 and this masterpiece doesn’t fade away,it never will!
Barely found this song because of a random Mexican radio so glad I heard it
@@crispycock5964y yo, en un podcast español.
Oh yes!!
A thing of beauty will never fade away ❤
The sadness of a failed relationship is conveyed so beautifully here
They are not failed, they are sordid affair which is how it supposed to be.
@@lonnleafIt is a failed relationship, that obviously resulted in the sordid affair that ultimately also failed...
this song reminds me of my late wife. It ended in tears for me. I knew she was sick. I lived that lie that she wasnt going to outlive me. It made me excited for the future, for our future. It all made sense for a while. It was a dark pretense... I knew she was sick. I knew she would not live, I ignored it... I didn't want to see it. I couldn't or wouldn't see it. To be the one, to be with her, I felt wanted. but in the night... deliverance came. All that we knew... all that we were... fading away. Now, I'm falling out of the sky... like so many tears in the rain. My Love fell gently into the earth, cold, broken, Grave, ...Remorse. I miss here so much. I miss here so... so... much.
may God bless her
Be strong man
I promise you one day it will get better
You just made me reconsider what i was about to do
❤
Somebody help me... I can't stop playing this! 😳❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Why stop ?
@@johnnys518 very good point! I wouldn't anyway 😁.... Just a fantastic tune.. 😉

Eivør Pálsdóttir: Tròdlabùndin (Trøllabundin)
Perhaps one of the most beautiful songs ever composed in electronic music.
this song hits me deeply, i got involved with a man that was living a double life and i fell for it and him.. probably the most painful thing i had to endure, letting someone go that you know you could never have
I can relate to this man and it’s the most painful thing for both sides. I will never forgive myself for not having the courage to follow the ONE
This is the kind of beautiful art that makes you simultaneously want to cry and smile.
So True
Julie D exactly
I don't remember I listen to this song to smile
ive seen you before, you usually have very nice, meaningful and deep words to describes some kind of emotional states :)
simultaneously + at the same time
I heard this for the first time in a roof top bar in Santa Monica as the sun set over the palms and the ocean. I had a beer buzz, was with good people, and there wasn't another song that could have sounded better at the time.
One of the most underrated songs of all time. A poem of music and lyrics…
I'm 69 I love this song ever since it come out it touches my soul
Check Maceo plex remix of this song
I just discovered this track on a shared playlist and I spent the entirety of last night listening to it on repeat because I had no other choice but to hear more and more of this. There are so many layers, the mood, the tone, the cadence, the sentiment is absolutely astounding. I got chills, but not superficially - chills from my core outward to all parts of my body, deeply. I have never experienced anything like that and I am so happy to find this. Overjoyed.
Discovered Royksopp in 2005 during a sailing trip over the Atlantic, and some songs like this one still give all those immense feelings you described... 15+yrs later .. :-)
Thank you for detailing your experience listening to this song. My own experience was very similar. I had tears in my eyes from joy and sadness.
I did the same thing about six years ago, and I still listen to it frequently. I lived this song because it had happened to me.
@@Linguaholic23 I completely feel you
You should listen to the Maceo Plex remix --> watch?v=HZfnmNf5MwA
I put a rock on the repeat button!
This is like one of the best songs ever created. Listen to this album on repeat for 4 days now.
I don't even usually listen to electronica, I listen to progressive metal and rock. This album is #3 on my list of my most cherished albums. This album is nothing short of a masterpiece.
Anyone listening to this in 2021? :D
Anyone been listening since it came out? :)
If you look closely at the lyrics, it doesn't make sense that this song talks about a couple's relationship, it's another thing, I'm from Brazil, I'm getting to know this song, band, now because of a French Netflix series called: Marseille in Perigo . When I heard this song I researched it and understood, it really is a work of art.
Why I wasn’t listening to this back in 2014 is beyond me but here I am in 2023 and I love it beyond words ❤
Just found this song by accident and I can’t stop listening❤️
Me too Fischer😎
sameee
Welcome to the Röyksopp world 🙂
Deliverance came.. I was rly sick along with being depressed..went through a very dark time, hanging on with a very thin string. I wished an angel would take me away. I recently crawled out that dark hole. Never ever wanting to go back. Ty Royksopp this helped me through that.🖤
This song means so much to me. I was listening to it since I was little in my dads car. It reminds me of my grandma who passed away from cancer 6 years ago. Today it’s her birthday and I’m listening to this song
I first listened to this after I broke up with my Ex.. the song brought feelings that are hard to describe with words.. 3.5 years later I have listened again for the first time. It brought back a lot of feelings but surprisingly it felt good. Things heal overtime
That's how healthy brain works, masks all with good memories hiding feels that hurt. Time is healing, now you really now it.
5.8 million views... probably 1mln could come from my computer
and the rest from mine
This song brought me back to the old days, when i first discovered Royksopp. I had my headphones on, at Nordkapp , Norway, listening to only this moment and enjoying the breathtaking view from the cliff on a cold november day :)
Standing on a cliff in Norway on a cold November day? You should have listened to Immortal then!
@@utamusic3438 tu lo savws
That’s what’s up
A nice, nostalgic November day in Nordkapp, Norway? It would have been perfect if it was at night.
NØrdkapp! HeadphØones. Hugs!
Listening to royksopp in the early mornings hits differently
I’ve an exciting day ahead but here I am being sad from early morning 😂
Pax Massilia, merci
Oe
Although the text is somewhat dark, this songs' lyrics are taken straight from life as it sometimes happens, it is absolutely perfect arranged, the music, the lyrics, they match like not too many other songs these days. It goes deep. It is amazingly beautiful despite the text... A wonderful timeless masterpiece!
I feel this song is the outcome of loving someone to hard and fully giving them your all, such as your heart, body and soul then they unexpectedly crush it, the pain can last for years even if you don't want it to even when you try to move on that shit haunts you.
Yes.
You've captured that nicely in words that I couldn't.
@@CubeCyclone exactly
No I don't think it's about that. It's about something that you shouldn't have done. It was fun at the time but it was taken from you. And just as well. Things are better now that it's gone.
@@Splodge542 eh everyone interprets the song differently from others but now I have another interpretation of this song since you said this, I feel now this is the outcome of having an affair with someone you shouldn't have but at the time it felt right but was wrong and it eventually ended .
I welcome the sadness I thrive on emotions
I will be here every single day for the most precious person to me
i'm in love with you
Wow. Awesome group! Thanks to Spotify’s algorithm
I want to paint this song 🎨🎊💫💜
Simple melodies, subtle strengths, listening from uk and working in Norway for a long time... Best nordic music ever
Listening to it everytime during takeoff in many years. Calms me down and whispers "Yes all that we were, all that we knew
Is fading away like tears in the rain". And it's not scary anymore. Thank you 💜
up :-)
AlwYs
:3
The best art piece in history of whole world. How does this song feels can not expressed. Maceo plex remix is also another level. Thank you royksopp for bring this song to world.❤
I love this shit!
Everybody has one special person this song speaks to them about. 12 years ago...
I used to listen to this song over and over when i was younger;
Back then i couldn’t speak or understand english at all but now im very happy that i remembered this song
Damn... I Can't believe it's 8yr old stuff...⚡💯❤️🔥
2023 and still going strong
"To lead a life that really got me all excited...I felt wanted" *tears* this songs a fucking masterpiece. Best on this album.
I though it said "to live a lie, it really got me all excited"
Agree god is fucked
fell from the sky heaven replied.
@@stellarjanetty and I thought that said "THAT REALLY GO BEYOND EXCITEMENT"
Had a urge to listen to this song from out of the blue. It felt like meeting old friend after a long absence. Good stuff
I so agree with this! Such a talented group! Their music feels like coming home!
I lived this, word by word. The music represents exactly the sense of loss and despair that it feels like having such a relationship.
Played this song at least 100 times already, something very powerful behind it, like all of Röyksopp's music. Chills.
2021
Merci Pax Massilia❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
grave !! bien vue l'avoeugle ;)
There was a time.
Dark and divine.
The way he changes up the vocal melody from 3:30 - 4:00 is absolutely heavenly.
Agreed...my favorite part of the song and a most sublime breakdown.
2017/2018 me being really into this one. Miss the times. It wasn't too late back then to turn my life around.
2023 🙏🙏💫💫💫 but the Remix is Epic...
Listening to this masterpiece with Spatial Sound from Dolby Atmos .......hmmm just blisssss....
Just found this song. Cant stop playing it..
You should also check out the Maceo Plex remix of this song.
A beautiful song that really touches our feelings deeply, is simply magical
One song I keep coming back to.. Royksopp are so distinct and alternative..can't ever get enough of them!!
they use to play this at my old job, i hated the job but this song was always nice to hear
What job?
@@callsignfrankcastle3761 p.f. chang’s 😂
@@gentle2k504 I worked on the boats in Alaska with my family since I'm from there and we played this song all the time
@@callsignfrankcastle3761 you know my friend, many people dream of visiting Alaska, I hope you found some advantages while living there:-)
this simultaneously gives me happy and heartache feelings
This whole album is AWESOME and I'm sad for people that don't know😍
2023 🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎶💜🙋 always songs are memories of the soul if a muscian captures that touche''' 🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎶💜🙋🎶🎶🎵🎵
Blir så lei meg hver gang. Samtidig en uendelig glede som ikke kan måles. Tusen takk Røyksopp.Dere er fantastisk e. Takk fra Søversvig
Summer 2021 be better than 2020
Came here after listen this song in Netflix Blood Coast. Good one to spend night with
Гипноз, сказка, замечательно ❤
**To whatever unknown force that has led me to this song: You have my gratitude to the extreme of my being**
This is timeless, everytime it i hear it remind me of someone i was so madly in love and she was too atleast apparently for a decade. Always remind me of my very long sordid affair of my own. Exactly how the song describes it.i hope she is having the best of life now and forever.
Have been hearing this song for a few years now, and NEVER GET TIRED of it (and many other Røyksopp tracks)
I love it when their songs put me in that melancholic and sad mood. I know this might sound weird but my favourite Röyksopp are the ones that make me cry.
This gets immediately to my top 3 R- songs.
It's just smile of a melancholy :-)
What's your other favorites by them?
Agree!
it is trueee
Im only just discovering this group. But I think I may be the same as you, what are some more examples like this one?
"To be with you,
to be the one,
to live a lie,
it really got me all excited…
I felt wanted…" My last mistake...
love that too.. amazing
Same
ONe of the most beautiful songs ever made. Royksopp is king.
2023. What a masterpiece!!
Me too - It’s beautiful and brilliant - Definitely in my top 10 of all time 👍
First time listening to this song, didn’t mean to cry but the lyrics are 👍
Fell from the sky. Heaven replied
Salvation in streams, silent and clean.
Extraordinary. One of the greatest songs ever made!
It's ok 😅
There was a time, dark and divine,
Exciting and new, shameful and true
Free to explore we had it all.
Towering trust, insatiable lust
Clouding the truth both of us knew
This sordid affair is ending in tears
Yes we must go on knowing the wrong
Hunting the day it was taken away
Oh, all our love fell down to Earth.
Here, broken and cold, with great remorse
Before a while it all made sense
It might have been just a dark pretence
But you had me
And I love it
To be with you, to be the one,
To live a lie
It really got me all excited.
I felt wanted
Then in the dark a sorrowing sigh
Was taken away. Deliverance came
Fell from the sky. Heaven replied
Salvation in strings, silent and clean.
All that we were, all that we knew
Faded away with tears in the rain.
Yes all that we were, all that we knew
Is fading away like tears in the rain.
All that we were, all that we knew
Fading away
All that we were, all that we knew
Fading away
All that we were, all that we knew
Fading away
All that we were, all that we knew
Fading away
Pp
👌
I always thought it was "shameful and true."
Thank you!💜
"Until the day", not "hunting the day", and "But you had me
And I loved it", not "left it".
I always get tears in my eyes when I listen to this. This song is an absolute masterpiece.
The lyrics get me!
@@ivangpavlovic5721 why?
Just words 🤷😂
I'm a sensitive kinda guy! 😁 The last 2 minutes of the song!!😭😭😂😂
omg, I can't even say how much I love royksopp...
I´ve never imagined this is 9 fookin years old !?!? I first heard it 2 years ago in a Trippy Visual comp. while being on LSD...it was soooo mesmerizing! Now i heard it again on Netflix in PAX MASSILIA and it was faaaaaantastic! What a beautiful Song
My favorite Royksopp song............... kissesssssss of Peru...
Light keyboard touches in the background are incredible.
I've been listening to this song for years and only now realized how fascinating the lyrics are
From time travel 🧳 2023. Song - perfection 🔥
This is so beautiful I cant express how much
Oh, Röyksopp, you don't know how many people you have made cry with these lyrics and chords... Oh... you'll never know... Oh, those lyrics... true as life itself.
I love Röyksopp. Their music feels like a flock of birds made of thought and magic flying around me, whispering of hope and chaos.
Heard this in the lobby of a friends apartment in NYC this summer during my internship. 🔥
I just don't know what to say! Its sadness and perfect and love and all feelings in this song! Hope one day I can visit your live concert ❤️😢 amazing! One of the best songs ever!
I love this song so much..
This song is GOLD
2023... still a gemstone. So true, so close to my life. 8 years and still brings sadness, a smile and a tear.
i was so high when i listened to this song in a coffeeshop in amsterdam and now i’m obsessed 😂
Exactly how an affair feels...such heaven until it ends and when it does its like being cast to hell
"deliverance came…" ... the words to ease the pain of a broken heart, Röyksopp, thank you for this song and lyrics
Just beautiful.... Wow....
Royksopp the best😊❤️❤️
It just hits me. Even after all these years.
Same
Beautiful, addictive, an intoxicating sound.... I can't use a single adjective for describe this song. Good Job again R.
Удивительный плейлист! Я давно так не наслаждался музыкой. Спасибо огромное!
Heard this song years ago on Boiler room Maceo Plex Set. The remix didn’t impressed me me much and last week heard this original while watching Blood Coast on Netflix. Since then can’t stop listening.
2025 anyone..? 🙄😀
2039!
2099 ok 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
yes, forever
And beyond
20024
слушаю в 2024 году ))
Anyone else listening to this beauty in 2022?
Masterpiece 🖤
