@billiesrus - this is a Erlend himself covering the Smiths song "There Is a Light That Never Goes Out," which he has layered over the Silicon Soul remix of Royksopp's "Poor Leno." (Which he also did the vocals for originally, as it happens, although the Silicon Soul remix removed almost all the singing.) It is indeed from his DJ Kicks album.
Nice version !! 'There is a light' is according to me one of the best songs ever... and I admit I have also committed the 'sin' to cover it just now :)... but we (erroV and reef) did it with all the respect and love we feel towards the original masterpiece.... but yes... its a dance version.. (with video)
(not 2 copy but be inspired) Windows down and engine loose Green smoke floating out my nose On the way home from my party Sly girl in the passenger seat I know she wants me to love her And I want to love her And its so easy The air is warm but the wind is cool And we are young And she wants to make love No consequences, no consequences All smiles, for miles, and miles
@michaelctanner So strange,I had this idea when I first listened to this treasure.I have to drive from Weiden in Bayern all the way to landstuhl and I plan on doing just that....live deep.
This is an excerpts from Erlend Oye's awesome "DJ-Kicks" session. The music is straight away Royksopp - Poor Leno (Silicone Soul's Hypno House Dub), with Erlend singing on top.
He does this a number of times in the record: sings classics over a number of remixed tracks. At the end of this video you can hear the next track start where he sings "Always on my mind" (Metal Chix / Always on My Mind (A Capella) (Brenda Lee cover) - Skatebård)
I have been looking for this version of this song for so long, it's unfathomable that I stumbled it on Pandora. It's like knowing you love someone, going years without seeing them, connecting again, and falling in love all over again.
great music, if i didn t look well id thought it was me doing video in london;)great sound royksopp and erlend oye great voice kings of conveniance;) come to portugal and play , electro yeah forever;)
As I said this version is better because the music and the voice and also the melody fits better to the lyrics,than the Smiths version which is in my opinion not so "dark&deep" as this one okay?
I have an impression that the part when it says 'If a ten tone truck kills the both of us and so on...' the Smiths sing somehow cheerfully and it just don't match to me...it's supposed to be sad and Erlend made it to sound sad..
I always thought that the lyric "if a ten ton truck kills the both of us" was a sort of positive thing, since he's saying that he would die happy being by the person's side. I love this version though, with the constant background beats. It's the best cover of a Smiths song I've ever heard.
I don't like the original that much...this version is more hmm let's say darker and somehow deeper and fits better to the lyrics then the "happy-singing" Smiths version...
silicone souls remix of poor leno by royksopp (for which erland did the vocals) plus an accapella of erland singing theres a light = this. justified and good remix of all songs mentioned if you ask me!
On reflection, there's plenty of room for both versions. Let us eagerly await his take on 'Necromantical Screams' by Celtic Frost, complete with the full Travolta treatment ;-) . . . .
A peerless song and a typically Erlend rendition, which can never be a bad thing. I would, however, suggest that Schneider TM's version 'The Light 3000' captures more of the pathos of the original. A thing of beauty nonetheless . . . .
i believe that if you hear something and it sounds good and moves you then it is a tune you should listen to again, and if it doesn't then don't. My music willy is bigger than your music willy id silly. Silly music willys
Maybe, but for me this song become beautiful after this cover. I think it's better than The Smiths. The original maybe has great lyric, but also mediocre music. In this version music is great, you can feel a kind of anxiety when you listen to it. Yeah, for me it's really moving. And i can't say the same thing about original.
Everybody has his own tastes, my friend. But come on, how can you say taht the smiths' one has mediiocre music and this version has great music? This one has no music at all, IMHO. I'd rather call it noise. And by the way, I think that in 99% cases, the original is better than any cover.
it's discordant for me. music is joyful and unconcerned, but lyric is sad. It's one reason why i used a word "mediocre" to describe the music of this song - i rather like sad music. I used "mediocre" also because it's really nothing special about it, there are tons of tunes like that, i heard a thousands of similar bands on myspace or lastfm. But, to be honest, i haven't heard even a one artist who would sing and play similar to Erlend Oye.
Thousands of bands that sound like that on myspace??? This doens't make no sense at all. This song is from 1985, that bands you're referring to were born 20 years later. The original one is performed with real instruments, this one is electronic crap!
what do you mean when you say "real instruments"? Synthesizer or computer is not real because it's electronic? I tell you one thing, i'm musician, i have a few synths in my house. When you say that they aren't real instruments, you also suggest they doesn't exist in reality, and (maybe) it's all just my illusion. I don't understand this kind of thinking, something is electronic, so it's not real?
Aha, and don't forget that every single album is mastered and mixed JUST on computer, which is an electronic device!
And about the smiths - if original was recorded 20 years ago, i can only say that the kind of music they play is not timeless, on the contrary, to for example Chopin. Their music is just out-of-date and crappy for me. Salut!
Being a guitarist, I can proudly say I'm a musician, too. I didn't mean that what's electronic ain't real. But music is noy about mastering and mixing o computers: before that someone must have a played a guitar, a bass guitar, some drums, some keys... Then it get mixed up... You can say that The Smiths (which I am not a fan of at all, I only know a few of their songs) are out of fashion, not out of date.
