It’s no secret that the landscape of Birds of Tokyo’s home of Western Australia; a desert-like state so vast and unforgiving that to provide it with a soundtrack requires a higher level of grandeur and majesty one would ever dare associate with the ‘pop’ music tag.
But, down to its bones, pop music is what Birds of Tokyo write… they just layer those bones in muscle, and give the beast a heart.
Beautifully expressive in its texture, yet thick and rich in its deceptive simplicity; Birds Of Tokyo’s music is universal and incredibly humanistic. In what could be described as the blink of an eye, the band have struck a nerve in their homeland, giving way to an unprecedented rise to popularity, but it is in their blossoming international recognition can be seen the band’s true strength and ability to connect with people.

Birds of Tokyo Lyrics
We made plans to kiss the sun at night
Hopeless dreamers, hopeless types
Shedding skin you show your beauty scars
Don't forget me or who you are
You know this don't feel right
Who knows what we feel?
I just met you I can read your thoughts
What they tell me is what I want
I'll keep you guessing keep you wanting more
'Cause where we're going no one knows
You know this don't feel right
Who knows this could feel right
I just met you, I swear I read your thoughts
So don't forget me or what you want
Light up the stage, make your move, give me something
So I can dance in your light and to your rhythm
Soon it unfolds who we are in this masquerade of stars
Tear off the mask, the face you hide is what I'm missing
We made plans to kiss the sun at night
Hopeless dreamers, hopeless types
One was turning, one was standing still
I won't forget what was promised here
You know this don't feel right
Who knows what we feel?

"We made plans to kiss the sun at night
Hopeless dreamers, hopeless times
Shedding skin you show your beauty scars
Don't forget me or who you are
You know this don't feel right
Who knows what we feel?
I just met you I can read your thoughts
What they tell me is what I want
I'll keep you guessing keep you wanting more
'Cos where we're going no one knows
You know this don't feel right
Who knows this could feel right
I just met you, I swear I read your thoughts
So don't forget me or what you want
Light up the stage, make your move, give me something
So I can dance in your light and to your rhythm
Soon it unfolds who we are in this masquerade of stars
Tear off the mask, the face you hide is what I'm missing
We made plans to kiss the sun at night
Hopeless dreamers, hopeless types
One was turning, one was standing still
I won't forget what was promised here
You know this don't feel right
Who knows what we feel?"

Still the song of the decade for me. Almost ten years later, this still encapsulates all the emotions and desires of this time well. Birds of Tokyo are also one of the best true rock bands of the decade. The Aussie music scene killed it during the 2010's!

I heard this song for the first time whilst driving home after a terrible day at work, and I was lost for breath.. All I could think of was how beautiful the song was, how unimportant my crappy day was, and how this song will be touching the broken hearts of people with bigger worries than my own.. Brilliant!

I wish I was. You Aussies (and the Kiwi's, mind) know how to stand your ground. Here in 'snowflake Sweden there's a sure and sad slippery slope down to Hades thanks to our so called politicians. Keep it up, mates!
Never forgive, never surrender.
Cheers from Gothenburg!
