Röyksopp - Skulls (Official video)

‘Skulls’ was the first track taken from the album 'The Inevitable End', a song that comes with an invitation and a stark warning, set amongst squelchy bass lines and filtered synths.

The video is made by Röyksopp and long time collaborator Norwegian director Stian Andersen.

We're heading for the woods - to a place as old as time itself. And there, amidst the trees, lies the centre of it all.

Listening in 2020.
Damnit, I wish Royksopp further explored their darker electronic side.
This is my ultimate favourite gothic electronic song. It’s perfection.

If you wanna ride with us tonight…
If you wanna ride with us tonight…

We will be the hands that lift you up
and we will be the hands that hold you high…
We will make you say our name forever,
we will make you want another try…
If you wanna ride…
Skulls!

If you wanna ride with us tonight…
If you wanna ride with us tonight…

We will be the love you’ve always wanted,
we will be the fire in your blood…
We will be the vice of your desire,
we will be salvation in the flood…

We will be the arms that lift you up
and we will be the hand that strike you down…
We will make you scream our name forever,
we will make you go another round…
If you wanna ride…

Still listening in 2024 ... cheers from Galápagos Islands.

Every sound, every beat is so perfectly placed. This is one of the best produced songs ever. Sonically perfect. I love this sooo much.

[jamiemark]

I'd love a whole album of this kind of darker Royksopp!!!

[LorgioPieper]

Can I dare say something? There it goes: KRAFTWERK + GIORGIO MORODER + DEPECHE MODE + JEAN MICHEL JARRRET = RÖYKSOPP. In another words this guys are incredible! Pelotas-Bagé/ Brazil. 

[DJSLYHARDSTYLE]

this is a truly magnificent 80s synthpop, but with modern !!!!

[Dixoneek]

can't stop listening, this is unbelievable amazing!

Skulls - Lyrics
If you want to ride with us tonight
If you want to ride with us tonight
We will be the hands that lift you up and
We will be the hands that hold you high
We will make you say our name forever
We will make you want another try
If you wanna ride, Skulls!
If you wanna ride with us tonight
If you wanna ride with us tonight
We will be the love you've always wanted
We will be the fire in your blood
We will be the vice of your desire
We will be salvation in the flood
We will be the arms that lift you up and
We will be the hand that strike you down
We will make you scream our name forever
We will make you go another round
If you wanna ride

Röyksopp is the number one since i've first time heard them with "remind me" in 2003. They absolutely rock! Röyksopp Forever ;)

[Mechimmortal]

The hardest beat I've heard in a while.

[ninnicuringa]

9 years ago? SOUNDS LIKE YESTERDAY on my mind!!! time runs fast.

[JakeStephensMrJakeStephens]

Robyn & Royksopp in concert was amazing in Chicago. This album only adds to the splendor.

[davidviteris]

One of the most metal non-metal songs I know🤘

[shawnsvancara]

I dont know if you ever read these comments but your song "This thing I had" brought tears to my eyes in all its beauty

[amrypa]

Your music is utterly beautiful...and when I die, I will surely miss it.

[HRashid]

[Verse 2]
We will be the life you always wanted
We will be the fire in your blood
We will be the vice of your desire
We will be salvation in the flood

[Verse 3]
We will be the arms that lift you up and
We will be the hand that strike you down
We will make you scream our name forever
We will make you go another round

da gusto como además de hacer excelente música, se toman el trabajo de realizar videos de este tipo, como en los 90 que se creaba mucho. Royksopp : genioa !!!
