THE REVIEW

Martin De Thurah (Dan): Videoclip of "What else is there?", Röyksopp (Nor) from "The Understanding"  (2005)

I am still suspended: Floating.

I had chosen the forests, but just five minutes with you were enough to bring me back to the wild mundane life. I don't know what I need: I traveled alone and often searched for you around me, even knowing you weren't there. You have always been honest: "I will destroy you, my love.

I am still floating: Suspended.

I don't know if, after traveling far, far away, I am more mature: a useless question now that I understand I am living based on those five minutes and everything around me seems to fly away, carried by the storms you unleash. I leave myself. Don't destroy me.

Floating, suspended, confused....

Time seems to never pass here, where you have decided to place me: only you can end this twilight, and I don't know what's beyond. You have always been frigid, and I have been many things: too bad that now I can't be any of those. Only what you have decided for me.

The protagonist is the model Marianne Schröder. With a minor role also appears Karin Dreijer Andersson (singer of The Knife), who is the performer of the piece: curiously, in the video, it is Marianne who "sings" the song and not Karin...
