Def not underrated. Her debut won a grammy for best electronic album. Def not ahead of her time either , she made this at a time when this style of e-pop was very popular. Not going to deny she's great though, this album is in my top 10 and Trouble in Paradise is prob in my top 20 or so.
The answer: a fractured personality; unity... two totally incongruent concepts- or are they? Through unification comes a healing of life's hurts, gained over time in a variety of ways. God is the damaged father, damaged because he has simply always existed but is lonely by nature and seeks companionship. He simply is and always has been. But where did he come from originally? That is a question he may have always asked himself and it is the question to which there is no answer. God is and always has been a paradox. He is something that, without his own existence, could not possibly exist. He just is... However; He is also just. He created us, all of us, to quench his thirst for companionship. in creating us he broke the first law of physics that He put in place to govern this universe in an orderly fashion. That law states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It simply changes forms. By creating us in his image; complete with free will, plus the power of manifestation, and the gifts of the Spirit; God bypassed the first rule that he laid out for this universe to exist in an orderly fashion in the first place. What that means is that we all, like Him and thanks to His love for us, have the power within ourselves to produce energy from nothingness through manifestation. that ability allows us to thereby create energy that can exist, and grow exponentially outside of us, just as we exist and grow exponentially apart from God. This is a good thing in the beginning, and continues to be so long as humanity does not realize its own potential or doesn't recognize its own divinity. This existence proceeds in a mostly orderly fashion through time until mankind ascends spiritually and recognizes his own divine nature in a real way. when mankind begins to grasp his intrinsic power, and individual divinity, there begins to be a real imbalance of energy and power in the universe, which is run by physical laws that demand a balance. once this balance is thrown off to a point of no return, reality begins to unravel at an ever increasing rate. There are no new or old souls. that saying may seem to hold true, but the really is that our souls exist outside of the constraints of time for the most part. We have all always been and will be and will have already been in the future and will come to be in the past. This profusion of incarnations and avatars and fractal expansion of God's powerful energy eventually will lead to the collapse of reality and the universe once its had the time necessary to proliferate beyond the ability of the universe to balance and contain. And then the universe will completely fall apart, and the whole process will start again at the beginning with God's creation of the universe through the Big Bang. This process has happened so very many times already, because God, our Creator is incredibly lonely for companionship that lies outside of himself. His nature is perfect in every way except for the longing he has for the companionship of his own kind. Thus, His desperate need for someone other than himself is the triggering factor that leads him to retry his grand experiment of creation, even though he knows it is destined to fall apart in the end over and over again. each time the cycle repeats, He watches us all develop our own imperfect personas apart from his divine unified field, and He still somehow withholds hope that one day maybe one of us will measure up or manage to ascend to his dimensional level of existence in time for us to avoid or sidestep our universe's destruction; and that whomever is capable of that realization will be raised to his side to become his companion and counterpart forever. This hope is ultimately useless, as none of us will ever be able to reach God's level of understanding before the end of time or existence, or so it would seem.... But God continues the experiment and search for company nonetheless, due to his unending love for us. until such a time when ones of us becomes worthy of being a companion of God the Almighty, which may never ultimately happen, time repeats itself endlessly in its cyclical fashion. in the meantime, God uses existence as a form of escape: a dream, or a thought into which he can immerse himself. this is done in order for him to experience the actual love of another being however flawed it may be. he still withholds hope for us, to release ourselves as well as him from this repititious cycle of loneliness. surely he knows quite a bit that we do not. it sounds unnecessary, but through separating himself from us, and then implanting his essence into one of us, though without the distinct memory of his divinity while in the flesh; he allows himself to experience the agony and the ecstasy of life. We are thus his diversion to distract himself from his solitude. even when it becomes difficult or painful, This life still is better than an eternal, singular loneliness. In life, it is loves imperfection that is the reason for life to exist. the ultimate fact is that love is really all that there is in all reality. love, Neither painless nor perfect, is the only concept in existence that makes existence worthwhile. Even when it is painful or lost, Love is still worthwhile, no matter the cost or the repercussions. Love is always worth it. Perhaps its imperfection is the reason behind its enduring value... Like the Japanese concept called wabi sabi, loves beauty is found in it's imperfections. Also, as illustrated by masters of Native American beadwork, is the understanding of the concept that nothing in this life can be truly perfect. these native master craftspeople ultimately leave one flaw intentionally in an otherwise perfect piece of their handiwork.... they leave One bead intentionally out of place or one tiny flaw in the pattern, because they realize that the intrinsic beauty lies in the imperfection of reality. They know that the behind the mundane and within the little flaws are wherein lies true perfection. it is in the quiet moments between chapters in the book of life that are held its significance meaning and value. in these concepts lie the recognition that people are flawed, and that destiny, while it does exist- is changeable through consciously applied force of will. We are all imperfect and capable of making mistakes; just as we are all capable of overcoming obstacles or overlooking said mistakes because of love and in favor of love. to err is human they say, but to forgive is devine. We all reach and grasp for an understanding of God and ourselves and existence on a daily basis, but the very unattainability of that knowledge is what makes life possible, and worth living. it is the raison d'etre, the reason to be, or the je ne se quoi, the i don't know what of life and almost unspeakable by the English language if not all human language, thus the necessity of these two preceding sayings. it is the unknowable quality of God that makes him powerful, and its the unanswerable nature of the deepest questions of life that inspire us to question and philosophize and ask the deepest questions of life. If we were able to know the ultimate answer, it would render the asking of the question impossible and irrelevant. Therefore, until such a time as one of us humans can ascend to the level of God's perfection (in a timely manner before existence unravels and ends,) we will all continue on as always, in an endless cycle of creation, self Realization, yearning, searching, and futile struggle to know and understand God our Creator. to know and understand God in this way is utterly impossible, though the search for knowledge and understanding seems to be greatly rewarding in and of itself. that search, even in failure, proves to be not only worthwhile, but worth repeating over and over again infinitely.

Caleb Jaaniste And Tropical Chancers sounds from the 90s, the next album would probably sound from the 00s... following that rate, their 5th or 6th album should be music from the future
if anyone else is in these comments wondering where she went/if shes coming back, she posted on her instagram a few days ago that shes back in business and making more music!! like this so people can see!!
''Let's go to war To make peace Let's be cold To create heat I hope in darkness We can see And you're not blinded by the light from me'' This was so beautiful
I wrote on here 13 yrs ago when it was first uploaded on here, but for the life of me I can't find my original post. Love this song and Skrillex/skream Grammy winning version. Her voice is that good that Kanye, jay Z and Chromeo all had Elly do vocals for some of their music.
@@goldflo91 It is an opinion. I was 10 in 1980 and have been listening to eighties music ever since as it is my favourite era. Kudos to you for the clip about Samuel Paty. His death was an absolute tragedy and may he rest in peace. My wife said to me how strong Macron had been in his response to what happened to him ( she is French). She is on the left and not a supporter of Macron but he has stood up for the values of the republic as President.
@@eightiesmusic1984 Thanks for watching my video about the tribute to Samuel Paty 🙂. Nobody should die this way in a civilized country, that's why I posted this tribute Frankly, if you want a carbon copy of the 80s music, just don't listen to artists who came later as La Roux or The Weeknd, simply because it's technically impossible to reproduce the sound as it was back then 😉. Not even sure if the artists who made this era are themselves that nostalgic, because of its drawbacks: Thatcher in the UK, Reagan in the US, and the hard time to program your synths and remake your programs in case it crashed, as explained by early 80s US band Suicide Here, you "only" get the vibe of the era, and that's enough. At least, we're here for it
I wish I can go back in time to be in this era. When this song first came ab-out, this was my childhood and I loved it so much. The vibes were just too real back then.
It's wild actually reading comments like this knowing full well that era was PEAK FILTH. You had Synth pop like this playing in the backround while being called 50 different slurs on xbox live or PSN.
I mentally manifested the Bulletproof song during a period of great personal stress, I energised it into this reality. I used to drink and take certain drugs that made me feel invulnerable to all the serious shit that was going on in my life at the time. I named this state 'bulletproof' and a few days later the song started playing on the radio. True story.
I was born in 76 so I grew up with Cyndi Lauper and fell in love again with Laroux nothing's better than well done pop music that brings back good memories
ok after getting a lil into production i changed my mind, its not ahead of its time in any way, whatsoever, not trying to say its bad but its poorly mastered and as far as synths go... theta sonsiq arpeggio had already been out for almost 5 years by the time this dropped and that was made by someone who (at the time) was relatively new to production sonny - mora (original 2007 remake 2009) sonny- concentrical (2007) pretty much all of sonny bells ep (2007) ghosts n stuff (2008) and so many more are popular examples of tracks that were ahead of their time this, was not ahead of its time bit of a rant but couldnt rlly bring myself to stop typing for a bit ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@vplayz7371 keep studying, people have been doing Music like this 30+ years before they came along. And the quality of their production has nothing to do with whether or not they’re ahead is their time. If you’re interested in trend setters, start with Kraftwerk and Giorgio Moroder and with your way forward from there.
Actually, it's not that surprising. The brain retains a lot of information about songs. I've come across songs that I forgot even existed and immediately remember everything about it. The brain is a mysterious thing.
SO TRUE WTF ! I went to her album on Spotify just to find Bulletproof but stumbled on this song and thought how could I didn't like this song 10 years ago 😭😭
Came back here for nostalgic purposes! First heard this back in my senior year of high school in 2010 when I was 18 years old, I'm almost 32 now! Let that sink in...... what does that sink want now!.
We can fight our desires, ooh But when we start making fires We get ever so hot, ooh Whether we like it or not They say we can love who we trust, ooh But what is love without lust? Two hearts with accurate devotions, ooh What are feelings without emotions? I'm going in for the kill I'm doing it for a thrill Oh, I'm hoping you'll understand And not let go of my hand I'm going in for the kill I'm doing it for a thrill Oh, I'm hoping you'll understand And not let go of my hand I hang my hopes out on the line, ooh Well, they'd be ready for you in time If you leave them out too long, ooh They'll be withered by the sun Full stops and exclamation marks, ooh My words stumble before I start How far can you send emotions? Ooh Can this bridge cross the ocean? I'm going in for the kill I'm doing it for a thrill Oh, I'm hoping you'll understand And not let go of my hand I'm going in for the kill I'm doing it for a thrill Oh, I'm hoping you'll understand And not let go of my hand Let's go to war to make peace Let's be cold to create heat I hope in darkness we can see And you're not blinded by the light from me Ooh I'm going in for the kill I'm doing it for a thrill Oh, I'm hoping you'll understand And not let go of my hand Source: LyricFind
I remember the first time I heard this track I was round a friends house 13 years ago it popped up on the the radio and I was hooked. La Roux is very talented and I was singing with her by the time it finished - catchy, punchy and just awesome 👏
This, for me at least, is one of the most perfect candy pop songs ever made, it has everything... and unlike many others it’s done in such a classy tasteful way. I’d love to see Elly and Ben talk about their creative process some day :)
Isn’t it amazing when you find a song and select new comments and the most recent comment is less than a week ago! Someone out there also thought of this song or video and it’s just incredible! Or maybe just me?
The vocal in this track is absolutely amazing, sounds even better today than when I first heard it in 2009. I love the synths, so early 80s, so brilliant.
i literally just discovered this song and i think i have found this song at the perfect moment in my life. sorry i didnt have anything more poetic to say
If this song isn't a precursor to the whole retrowave genre then I don't know what is. It predates Kavinsky - Nightcall. Even the aesthetic and colors used are spot on.
I was 24 when this song came out and now I'm 12
?
JAJAJAJAJAJAJJAJAAJAJAJ
makes sense
Benjamin Button, is that you?

I swear she was so ahead of her time. Truly underrated.
Nah, she wasn't ahead of her time because the video has a late 90s, early 00s aesthetic and music is def 2010s, but she was excellent for her time 👏👏
Liz G let me guess you’re under 20 years old.... she’s doing shit from the 80s
she wasnt lol
@@zezay9314 Def wouldnt say the music is 2010s. If so, then she would have been ahead of her time, this album was released in 2009.

bit of a rant but couldnt rlly bring myself to stop typing for a bit ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@vplayz7371 keep studying, people have been doing Music like this 30+ years before they came along. And the quality of their production has nothing to do with whether or not they’re ahead is their time. If you’re interested in trend setters, start with Kraftwerk and Giorgio Moroder and with your way forward from there.
Love the retro sound. Like an early 80s electro classic
This is a certified hood classic
it really is tho
Lmfao
Big facts
Hood classic?
Imagine walking in the hood and hearing this blaring
Cheers love the cavalry is here
I haven't heard this song in about 3 years, and I still know all the words, that just shows how much of a banger this song is
Actually, it's not that surprising. The brain retains a lot of information about songs.
I've come across songs that I forgot even existed and immediately remember everything about it.
The brain is a mysterious thing.
Haven't heard La Roux for years. Still love this song.
She's making an appearance in Tion Wayne's "IFTK" music video, that features her
she actually has great range on her voice
damn, la roux is a damn talented singer.
jaden ra how?
Ignore him, he's most likely a troll.
MyLittleDylanbob Pvp 50-50 chance
jaden ra Confirmed.
MyLittleDylanbob Pvp should we mark him as spam?
This absolute tune never grows old here in 2023💯
The DNB remixes are 👨🍳💋
Listening to this in 2024
Did a gig using this sound,awesome!
Everyone from the UK should remember this song
I mistreated this when I was younger but now??? Elite banger.
SO TRUE WTF !
I went to her album on Spotify just to find Bulletproof but stumbled on this song and thought how could I didn't like this song 10 years ago 😭😭
Doing 80's retropop before it was cool.
I wish I appreciated this back then.
TION WAYNE BROUGHT ME HERE ON GAAAAD 🤩💥💥💥🎶🎧
Listening to this in 2016.....I miss you, La roux!
Supernova2510 she ain't dead is she?
noooooo
*~oooouuuuuuuu-uuuuuuuu!!!~* 🎶🎵🎶
UUUUUwwwwUUUUU
Came back here for nostalgic purposes! First heard this back in my senior year of high school in 2010 when I was 18 years old, I'm almost 32 now! Let that sink in...... what does that sink want now!.
Just done the same
How the hell is this so old!! Or maybe its me 😂 wheres time gone.
@@seellehow the hell is it so old man lol
Can't believe this is the most listened to song in the world! WOW! What a talent and her mum was in the bill!
Sis literally made music and videos way ahead of time and it’s quite amazing because now music like this is literally coming into play everywhere
I feel like my parents, thinking about this song the way they talk about their fav tracks from the 80s and 90s. So this is what its like huh?
-2013 and before, were the best years for music, I swear.
Winters Chill but Birds by Travis Scott just recently dropped 💥💥💥
adzym54 just... no.
but Lady Gaga released The Cure after 2013
There is no logical reason why I; a 45 year old manly man would like this song...... But I do. I thank you!
Her voice gives me chills
Apparently she back after 5 years now cant wait to have more song
where do you have that nformation from?
Arteminerva it was on her instagram!!
Omg yessssssssss
We can fight our desires, ooh
But when we start making fires
We get ever so hot, ooh
Whether we like it or not
They say we can love who we trust, ooh
But what is love without lust?
Two hearts with accurate devotions, ooh
What are feelings without emotions?
I'm going in for the kill
I'm doing it for a thrill
Oh, I'm hoping you'll understand
And not let go of my hand
I'm going in for the kill
I'm doing it for a thrill
Oh, I'm hoping you'll understand
And not let go of my hand
I hang my hopes out on the line, ooh
Well, they'd be ready for you in time
If you leave them out too long, ooh
They'll be withered by the sun
Full stops and exclamation marks, ooh
My words stumble before I start
How far can you send emotions? Ooh
Can this bridge cross the ocean?
I'm going in for the kill
I'm doing it for a thrill
Oh, I'm hoping you'll understand
And not let go of my hand
I'm going in for the kill
I'm doing it for a thrill
Oh, I'm hoping you'll understand
And not let go of my hand
Let's go to war to make peace
Let's be cold to create heat
I hope in darkness we can see
And you're not blinded by the light from me
Ooh
I'm going in for the kill
I'm doing it for a thrill
Oh, I'm hoping you'll understand
And not let go of my hand

Dis shi hard
This song is 13 years old??
Time goes so fast...
Bless her. I'm thankful for La Roux.
my brother R.I.P love this song so much... so many memories with this amazing song.
I was born 1963,so I'm an 80s music child,this I pure class, proper 80s tune ,to late
The perfect pop song
Accidentally read this as "The perfect POOP song" and got an entirely different mental image
Who else is listening to this song in a bottomless pit of despair?
Landau ... Welcome to life outside the 80's friend..
Nah, that's what the skream remix is for
Me
daaaark... I like it
Landau
Damn. I'm just listening from my bedroom, mate.
Ive seen a lot of bands in my time , and La Roux is very up there , absolute brilliance !!!
This song lives in my head rent free❤😂
I remember the first time I heard this track I was round a friends house 13 years ago it popped up on the the radio and I was hooked. La Roux is very talented and I was singing with her by the time it finished - catchy, punchy and just awesome 👏
The first generation of MR2 is all time classic
YES!!! I own 2 of them and '85 and an '87
I looked at buying an identical navy one about a year ago. Unfortunately it was too far gone in terms of rust
This, for me at least, is one of the most perfect candy pop songs ever made, it has everything... and unlike many others it’s done in such a classy tasteful way. I’d love to see Elly and Ben talk about their creative process some day :)
pamiętam jak lata temu w Trójce nie zwracałem na ten utwór uwagi - dopiero teraz zauważyłem ile ten utwór ma detali
Doesn't matter when it came out, it is one of the best song on the playlist.
She has such a pretty voice bruh 🥺
this used to be my favorite song when i was 5, i'm turning 16 this year and this is still a banger

Just heard it again when watching a trailer for Sweetpea with Ella Purnell
I was 17 when this first came out, now I'm AW11 MR2 Supercharged T-Top variant.

Damn, good eye thats the actual car lmao

Childhood, this and bulletproof
+megan savage
samee!! 😸😸
This is such a banger!
Thanks for choosing an old school MR2 :). It's so cool to see on of those in a video clip these day!!!
I love this style of music and her voice!!❤
Isn’t it amazing when you find a song and select new comments and the most recent comment is less than a week ago! Someone out there also thought of this song or video and it’s just incredible! Or maybe just me?
The vocal in this track is absolutely amazing, sounds even better today than when I first heard it in 2009. I love the synths, so early 80s, so brilliant.
There're no need to point out what year it is. Thanks
who's watching this in 1900
+Kirby C
Original
+10TimesOver not to mention funny...
What year is it with you ?
AcheronLupus1
And what will be wrong with upload dates?
I used to love this song and hearing it on the radio when I was like 7, aw I'm only 14 but this feels like the good ol days
+Lauren Ng I like it and im a lot older than you. It's just got a good beat.
thank you twomad for bringing me here
This is pure tecnobrega.
Super underrated. 👌
i literally just discovered this song and i think i have found this song at the perfect moment in my life. sorry i didnt have anything more poetic to say
Man I'm still in love with her.
Sintonía de MI (Marcador Internacional) en Radio Marca. Sublime !!
I only knew the dubstep version but this is absolutely beautiful!!! what an artist! Much love from Brazil!
Hello Brasil, from Romania!👍
If this song isn't a precursor to the whole retrowave genre then I don't know what is. It predates Kavinsky - Nightcall. Even the aesthetic and colors used are spot on.
Wow, incel much? Kavinsky is the creepiest thing I've ever heard in my life. Your photo doesn't help. A Guy Fawkes mask would be a welcome respite.
Kavinsky has been active since 2005....
@@swayIo I'm not talking about who was first but rather who popularized the genre.
Gotta love the car choice as well, first generation Toyota mr2
I feel old. I used to love this song and this video when it came out and I still do. Amazing and underrated.
You are
Man, I had to check this out after listening to Tion Wayne's IFTK, this is madddddd! 🔥🔥
You're amazing La Roux
I listened to the skream remix over and over after my sister died in 2010. She was 21 I was 20...this song has so much meaning for me.
