Het lijkt me geen verrassing dat mijn favoriete album er een van Röyksopp is. Menig superlatief heb ik al over ze geschreven, dus vandaag zal ik het kort houden.
Het tweede album The Understanding is er een waar ik in 2006 een verhaal in zag:
Girl and boy have steady relationship, nice and happy..[triumphant], but boy cheats on her with another girl [only this moment], and they decide to split up because the girl wants him 100% (less than half ain’t really much of nothing) [49%], and then they both feel kinda sad [sombre detune], and then the boy has a broken heart and is mad [follow my ruin], but he gets over it more or less and learns to enjoy life without her [beautiful day without you], and he even flirts again [what else is there], and falls in love again and gets all hyper [circuit breaker], and tries to impress the new girl [alpha male], and yes, he scores! and finds the love of his life [someone like me], makes babies [dead to the world], and they live happily ever after until they die [tristesse globale].
En nu ik erop terugkijk was dat idee helemaal zo gek nog niet..
