about

Written, performed and produced by Ruben and Matthijs, and mixed by Dave Bascombe (Depeche Mode, Tears For Fears, Erasure), ‘Comme Ça’ is an affecting slice of new wave - replacing digitally produced sounds for analog synths and drum machine samples. Disconcerting and complex, speaking further about the track they say:

“Creating this track felt like telling a story, giving the listener a sort of ominous feeling each time. Taking the song from the demo to the final product took various steps. We can’t really recall in what order we did things, we were mainly sailing on intuition.”

“The song is about experiencing a disconnect with current society. The girl is being used as a metaphor for society as a whole. There is a sense of absolute loneliness. Not being able to connect with anyone on any level - but then somehow accepting that and drawing energy from it, symbolised in the energy of the music.”

lyrics

You do your make up in the dark
As you’re strolling down the park
Is there any light in darkness?

I know you’re rich enough you might
Do something else than make it right
Is there any light in darkness?

She walked in in silence
And tried to see
What I could see

‘though you feel just like me
Can you feel
How I should feel?

Comme ça , Comme ça
Oh do me like this, like that
Comme ça , Comme ça
Don’t be shy, to try
I'll see
You’re not really me
Can’t you see?
Comme ça , Comme ça
Oh do me like this, like that

What is real is undefined
Common questions graze my mind
Is there any light in darkness?

You paint a picture with your eyes
Doesn’t matter what it’s like
Cause there is no light in darkness

She walked in in silence
And tried to see
What I could see

You said you feel just like me
So can you feel
How I should feel?

There is more to find
But there is more to hide
There’s so much we could be
Can’t you see?

Comme ça , Comme ça
Oh do me like this, like that
Comme ça , Comme ça
Don’t be shy, to try
I'll see
You’re not really me
Can’t you see?
Comme ça , Comme ça
Oh do me like this, like that
