Song: "What Else Is There?" || Artist: Royksopp || http://youtu.be/ADBKdSCbmiM ||
Comments: Happy Tuesday, folks! I thought I'd change the pace up a bit with a slower song today. This song is from Royksopp's album "The Understanding," featuring vocals by Karin Dreijer Andersson. Her vocals are emotive and expressive, and give a slightly dark feeling to this otherwise mellow song. It's a slower end of electronica, never meant to be dance-able, but rather built to relax and tell a story. Royksopp are masters of their craft. Enjoy!

Stuck In My Skull 394 -- "What Else Is There?"

Stuck In My Skull 377 -- "Silver Cruiser"

Comments: Sorry about the lack of me posting this morning, folks. To make up for it, I decided to post this immediately, instead of waiting until tomorrow (Friday) morning to post it. So, this song. This song never singled, and there's nothing terribly smashing or record breaking about it. It's just a really good track form ROyksopp's album Junior, which is fantastic and you should all listen to! This song is a nice, slow, chill number with some jazzy influences. It's a very melodic tune, and I really love it. It puts me in a calm, quiet, relaxed mood that I really enjoy, and can bring a smile to my face. It tends to take whatever mood I'm in and just smooth it over -- if I'm feeling sad, I'll probably be a little less sad. If I'm feeling happy, I'll be a calmer happy. It's a nice song. And the video is pretty relaxing too -- just some planets and such.

Entry 228: Heart Week 2, Part 3-- "Only This Moment"
Written By Christopher Audiophile on Wednesday, June 20, 2012 | 6/20/2012 05:00:00 AM
Heart Week 2, Part 3
Song: "Only This Moment"
Artist: Royksopp
http://youtu.be/qz-nhcfTfWQ
Comments: I've known about Röyksopp since someone (Kelsey) showed me the video to "Remind Me" about two years ago. I don't know when I found this song, but I liked it, and oddly enough, promptly forgot about it. Most of the Röyksopp I know comes from their album "Junior," whereas this song comes from "The Understanding." Since I forgot about it, it never really crossed my mind to think about the lyrics at all, much less as a love song, but when I stumbled across it preparing for this week, it just sounded perfect. The lyrics are a tad misleading in the first half, and not always the most cheerful, but like any good relationship, it works out by the end. "Only this moment / Holds us together / Close to perfection / Nothing else out there / Always beside her / Trusting my senses / Deep down inside I know love will survive."

Entry 130: Break Up Week, Part 1-- "Beautiful Day Without You"

Break Up Week, Part 1
Song: "Beautiful Day Without You"
Artist: Royksopp
http://youtu.be/nww7ywDLzY0
Comments: I don't usually do so many theme weeks so soon, but two dear friends of mine and friends to this blog just split up, and so I'm throwing a week to help them out as best I can. This song is one of the two that helped me move on after my previous relationship ended, and I hope that all the broken hearts out there find it helpful. I can't promise that random butterflies will appear or any of the other fantastical things that happen in the video, but I feel confident in saying that this song might manage to brighten your day. Also, a happy birthday to Amanda!

Entry 60-- "It's What I Want"

Song: "It's What I Want"
Artist: Royksopp
http://youtu.be/TzfEKmO4V4o
Comments: What I want-- several more hours of sleep. As this song says, however: "It's what I want that's easy. It's getting it that's complicated." Anyway, I couldn't decide between this song, "Tricky Tricky" by Royksopp, or "Teardrop" by Massive Attack, but after listening to this song on my way to grab breakfast, I decided to use this one. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Entry 56-- New Spins Week, Part 3: "Clocks"
Written By Christopher Audiophile on Wednesday, September 21, 2011 | 9/21/2011 04:26:00 AM
New Spins Week, Part 3
Song: "Clocks"
Artist: Royksopp
Spin on: "Clocks" by Coldplay
http://youtu.be/OVPJMMwzIC8 (Spin)
http://youtu.be/vKw7yvoZ-Tg (Original)
Comments: Unlike the first two songs featured in this series, this song is a straight remix-- no sampling, no vocal alterations, just a pure remix of an existing song. I'm a pretty harsh critic of remixes, and finding one that I actually like is generally impossible, but this remix pulls it off with amazing style. Enjoy!

Comments: Sorry this is going up so late. I really hate doing two electronic songs in a row, but I feel as though this is different enough from "Children" to make up for it. Also, I promise that tomorrow won't be a third electronic song. Right, so-- this song is one of my all-time favourite songs, holding both a great deal of sentimental value to me, and my praise as an excellent song in general. The video, too, should not be missed.
Entry 12 -- "Judas (Royksopp Remix)"
Written By Christopher Audiophile on Sunday, July 24, 2011 | 7/24/2011 11:14:00 AM
Song: "Judas (Royksopp Remix)"
Artist: Lady Gaga

Comments: This is one of my favourite two remixes of this song. The mood of the music is completely different than the original. I think the Norwegian duo does this well.
Also, for any who missed it, there was a late night update last night: http://stuckinmyskull.blogspot.com/2011/07/entry-11-revisit-hide-and-seek-tiesto.html
