I think this track is perfectly placed on the CD! Due to it not being listed on the cover, it will come as a surprise first time round (unless you downloaded the album from itunes, where it has its own track number). it's after about 2 minutes of silence so you might forget the disc is still playing, and get a bit of a fright when these disturbing sounds appear! (I also find that silence handy as time to hit the stop button since i think 'A Long, Long Way' is a better ending for the album.)
Creepy, experimental, I really adore Royksopp's music but I feel tremendously scared with this... eventhough I'm a bit grown up with my 27. Hope their next songs encompass different emotions.
I think, if it wasn't because of the fact that Röyksopp had made this, the same who made Eple and Happy Up Here, i'd be left with a very eerie and uneasy feeling after watching this too.
It's awesome they go this experimental with their music
this track is really creepy. the first time I heard it I was like what is this? it's sort of hidden on the C.D. After the last song played I would always cut it off and never knew this track was attached till one day I let the C.D stop on it's own. IDK what to make of those noises in the beginning lol
@BleachedZelmo go to hell??? man be careful what you say because someday you will be giving back the same way... It's clear that MTV is not as transgresive as it was once, it's my opinion and if you don't like it it's your problem. I love Royksopp
For some reason, I think of Twin Peaks when the reversed laughter bit starts; it doesn't freak me of, I think it's song is awesome. It's about time their songs started casting shadows.
Around 3 am I woke up hearing noises of this coming from somewhere in my dark bedroom. Since I hadn't heard or recognized this song before after about 2 minutes of being a tad bit freaked out I remembered that I fell asleep with my ipod on, and it had somehow fallen to the bottom of my bed and raised its volume.
@Kaliea I had the same feeling while falling asleep listening to the LP! A Long, Long Way faded out and I thought the album was gonna stop, when this track started playing. Freaked me out!
in my first experience of listening the album on ipod, after a little silence of 'a long, long way' i heard some creepy sounds and couldn't understand whats happening. then i realized the song hasn't finished yet. this is a real surprise to listeners from the group.
Maybe 'The Fear' is the fear of death, 'A long, long way' is the journey there, and this ('The final day') is death itself? Just doodling in my mind...
I watched this song totally stoned in the dark at like 1:00AM and it scared the hell out of me. Pretty sure they tacked this on the end of the album to give people a bad trip after their celebratory album release drug party... P.S. anyone know when the song "I wanna know" is going to be released? They played it live when I saw them last year in SF and they said it was a new one.. I assumed it was going to be on Senior but it has vocals.. so it wasn't
@mademyselfinvisible They've not said anything, but Im hoping it's going to be a track of the month, cause I doubt they'll hold off on releasing it for their next album (a few years yet)...Fingers crossed on October track of the month eh?!!
@mademyselfinvisible Well who was right then!!! I called I wanna know being released as the October track of the month and now we have it. Check out their site. Enjoy!
Ok I've been checking and rechecking itunes for Senior but it's not up yet and it's pissing me off. I don't have any money in my paypal account all I can buy it with is itunes and can't fucking download the album because it's not available in the US...this is fucking horse shit...
@GazMysticism nah I'll probably buy it from the website later tonight. I stopped using paypal because I didn't need it anymore so the only thing I could buy it with is Itunes. But it doesn't come out until next month.
@GazMysticism Yeah well I didn't realize I can't buy the mp3 copy at all...so now I ave to wait until the end of october for the US release which is so stupid...
Great video, but man: Why making such a dark, dark piece (This goes out to Röyksopp in the first place)? I hope I am never in the mood to rewatch this. This is suicide inducing.
So my conclusion: Great work but I hope I never see this again. ;)
Now dont get me wrong, im not one of these jonny come latelys that came around junior time and forms an opinion based on nothing, i have been listening to royksopp since melody am came out and bought the album when it came out. Feel free to shoot me down, but in my opinion...i was just so disappointed with senior. Tracks like senior living and the alcoholic are mindblowing, yet the rest of the album, this track included, just seem to go nowhere. I wish I could say i like it, trust me i really do
also...it kinda reminds me of the legend of zelda: majora's mask on the final day. its got that dark hopeless feeling when you know the moon is about to crash into clock town
The boys took a creative turn I could never have expected for this album. I wouldn't know this was Royksopp if I heard it. I'd probably pin it as some super rare BOC track.
The sounds were so freaky, I had to look at my speakers behind me just to check to see if someone was crawling out of them.
