A lot of bands meet as kids at school. Others come together after an over-enthusiastic conversation about music at some random party. Aluna Francis and George Reid however, met through the internet.
While their online encounter is more MySpace than Match.com, it was in fact through a mutual respect for each other's work that led them to go on to form AlunaGeorge. Now together for just barely a year, the talented duo have been churning out a series of infectious mixes which fuse Francis' sweet vocal harmonies with the hushed electronic stylings courtesy of Reid.
Having already caught the attention of Rob da Bank who championed their initial collaboration Sweetheart on Radio 1; they've since succeeded in initially tapping the American market having had a track featured in the US series of Skins earlier this year. Now this month sees the release of their debut AA single Analyser/ We Are Chosen, two impressively mastered melodies of sensual synths complemented by Francis' contagious vocals which evoke notions of the likes of Shanks and Bigfoot, yet at the same time remain utterly unique.

AlunaGeorge Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Resuscitated too many times
I circle way too many sites
Must be a gift from a future crime
Supernatural, Supernatural, Supernatural
Light this up, better save our money
All hands up in a big finale
Is this dream state or awake?
Create the science that we make
The perfect innovation
So close to real, we can't tell it's fake
Supernatural, Supernatural, Supernatural
Light this up, better save our money
All hands up in a big finale
Like our interplanetary
Boy, your touch is haunting to me
It's so extraordinary when you're simply holding me
I go interplanetary
Boy, your touch is haunting me
It's so extraordinary when you hold me
Like our interplanetary
Boy, your touch is haunting to me
It's so extraordinary when you're simply holding me
I go interplanetary
Boy, your touch is haunting me
It's so extraordinary when you hold me
Supernatural
The lyrics to AlunaGeorge's song "Supernatural" are all about questioning the boundaries between reality and fantasy, the tangible and intangible, and life and death. The opening lines "Is this dead, or is it alive? Resuscitated too many times" suggest that the singer is questioning their own existence and perhaps has experienced some kind of near-death experience. They then go on to talk about "circles way too many sites," which could be interpreted as a reference to the idea of reincarnation or the cyclical nature of life and death.
The chorus, which repeats the word "Supernatural," seems to be a nod to the idea of the supernatural or other-worldly, which fits with the overall theme of the song. The line "light this up, better save our money" could refer to the singer trying to hold onto the vividness of their experiences, whether real or imagined.
The second verse talks about "create the science that we make" which could be interpreted as the singer trying to find ways to understand and explain the supernatural experiences they are having. The final lines of the song, which repeat the idea of going "interplanetary" and feeling haunted by someone's touch, suggest a sense of transcendence and a connection to something beyond this world.
