Never ever would I wake up in the middle of the night Thinking about the meaning my life I cannot count how many questions I was there to reply Talking about the guidance I supplied No way you don’t know me Baby I was your remedy Somebody else now Somebody else If you like your new friend More than me And you know we’re wasting Every day we seize Say that you love me Send me flowers And I can guarantee You and I will meet If you want it like that Your old friend’s gone We’re better of like that If you want it like that Your old friend’s gone And it’s better like that Why are you looking like that What was it gonna be, now that it’s gone? I don’t need it like that You were playing around with the devil on your back No way you don’t know me Baby I was your remedy Somebody else now Somebody else If you like your new friend More than me And you know we’re wasting Every day we seize Say that you love me Send me flowers And I can guarantee You and I will meet If you want it like that Your old friend’s gone We’re better of like that If you want it like that If you like your new friend More than me And you know we’re wasting Every day we seize Say that you love me Send me flowers And I can guarantee You and I will meet If you want it like that Your old friend’s gone We’re better of like that If you want it like that If you want it like that Your old friend’s gone We’re better of like that If you want it like that Your old friend’s gone And it’s better like that

The stars aligned and we Were there I used to watch the sky for hours In your eyes Every time I go to the city I see your face in every brick wall It’s a lot It’s a lot But if you do think of me again Call me up and tell me how you’ve been Like any other day I will be Waiting for the clouds to disappear I know I told you to be gone But I think it’s too hard so don’t ever go Away again It took you twice as long to feel How I feel I’ve seen you laugh and seen you split In halves Every time I go the city I see your face in every brick wall It’s a lot It’s a lot But if you do think of me again Call me up and tell me how you’ve been Like any other day I will be Waiting for the clouds to disappear I know I told you to be gone But I think it’s too hard so don’t ever go Away again You are everything That I am not Maybe you left Because of that If you do think of me again Call me up and tell me how you’ve been Like any other day I will be Waiting for the clouds to disappear Disappear

You so right about me? Why are you staying not leaving here So casually In your fantasy You say that this is just a phase You’re gonna come along and stay Like family Like family Leave the worst in history I’m not gonna leave you But you use me You use me If I told you my heart turned cold I’m tired of trying To tear my eyes apart from yours You’d be on your own If I told you my heart turned cold I’m tired of trying To tear my eyes apart from yours Tomorrow it’s worse than it was today A life with abnormalities It’s sad to me So sad to see I know that you need amnesty I know you fall away from me No melodies Just disbelieve Leave the worst in history I’m not gonna leave you But you use me You use me If I told you my heart turned cold I’m tired of trying To tear my eyes apart from yours You’d be on your own If I told you my heart turned cold I’m tired of trying To tear my eyes apart from yours If I told you my heart turned cold

Whatever came to me I didn’t take it for granted I wish I could’ve handle it What did I do to you? It’s not like you’re like It’s not like you’re like any others So come on and hear me out Let’s go scream and shout Maybe a fight this time around I’m around ‘Cause it’s a race for caress It’s a lifelong mess Take me to the party Carrying on for better and worse Take me to the party You made me feel like someone new but I know It’s a race for caress It’s a lifelong mess Take me to the party now I took what came to me Why is it dramatic It used to be so romantic You felt safe to me Cause It’s not like you’re like It’s not like you’re like any others So come on and hear me out Let’s go scream and shout Maybe a fight this time around I’m around ‘Cause it’s a race for caress It’s a lifelong mess Take me to the party Carrying on for better and worse Take me to the party You made me feel like someone new but I know It’s a race for caress It’s a lifelong mess Take me to the party now Symptomatic You said you didn’t want it I said no woman no cry I have myself I don’t think you ever will Complicated Is it only sunny if the sun shines on you And if we’re not together are we ever gonna be? It’s a race for caress It’s a lifelong mess Take me to the party now Carrying on for better and worse To the party now You made me feel like someone new but I know It’s a race for caress It’s a lifelong mess Take me to the party now

about

After his breakout alt-pop EPs Faded. Dream. (2017), Destiny (2019) and his debut album Armlock (2020), School of X out with an ambitious, timeless indie-pop sound on his new album Dancing Through The Void.

Dancing Through The Void is a message to have self-confidence—and Rasmus Littauer is walking the walk.

In a year of noise and interruption, Littauer—who has spent most of the past decade touring and working with artists such as Liss, Clairo, Deb Never and MØ as well as on his own music—has been affected more than most. Still, the past year’s global interruptions are the least significant of his recent life changes.

“This year I became a father. It makes my thoughts go around and around about my own childhood and how I was raised. You notice a lot of things you want to do differently than your parents, and maybe some things you want to do the same. I also think a lot about the world I’m putting my child into. He will encounter the whole spectrum of emotions and experiences, and it’ll be fun and hard. At times he will be dancing through the void and at times he will be in the void, and so on.”

Dancing Through The Void features Clairo collaborator Kim Tee on “Heart Turned Cold” and Danish band Liss on “Bag of Bones”. Every next song on the album oozes with the confidence and a new spin on his timeless songwriting.

This album can--and should--be revisited in aeternum, and Posing for Cars should be incentive enough to ensure you do. The pacing and build of the track pulls you in, and the three minute outro sweeps you away. mccreadymatthew

Take a look at the liner notes on bandcamp: The album is crafted from soft, glowing synthscapes, dawns and skies transformed into sounds. I couldn't describe it better. Wonderful, spheric, warm & intense. brouwsEIT
