1. A Swedish … Read Full Bio ↴There are three acts making music under the name Asteroid:
1. A Swedish psychedellic / space-rock band;
2. An electronic solo musician from the Netherlands;
3. A changing group of improvising musicians from London.
1. Heavy, progressive Swedish spaced-out 70's-style fuzzrock. The band was formed in the winter of 2003-2004. Releases: "Demo 2004", "Ep 2005", "Asteroid & Blowback" (Fuzz Split 2006, Release April 2006 by Fuzzorama Records), "Asteroid" (2007), II (2010). The history of Asteroid is a psychedelic space saga, timeless and endless, with no upside or downside, but with a beautiful ending. The band, formed during the winter of 2003, has undertaken a long musical journey and developed a sound well fit to the trio constellation. After being formed as a regular stoner band, it didnt take long before new grounds were conquered. Since then, influences have been collected from blues and British 70s classic rock, but also from Swedish traditional folk music. Asteroid is now back with their second album, called simply II. It is a more evolved but also relaxed and groovy follow up to their highly acclaimed debut album S/T. This time they locked themselves up in a studio deep in the forest, trying to capture the raw and naked sound and feeling in their music. You will hear a tighter, heavier, but also darker Asteroid. You will still recognize the characteristic energy in the sound and feel the joy delivered by the musicians. This record is like transporting yourself back to the psychedelic woods of Sweden, but unlike other 70s influences bands this is also fresh and unique on its own. Asteroid is today a well-known live act all over Europe with constant touring and a reputation of wild and sweaty live shows. Hold on to your hats!
2. Asteroid is an alias for a 23 year old young man called Jonathan, who lives in Kampen, The Netherlands. his songs are a mix of melodic progressive breaks, drum 'n bass, lounge, and a tiny bit of industrial.
He started mixing and producing in early 2005. He's always focussed on producing spatial and spacey melodies, i.e., lots of strings and reverb.
3. Asteroid is a changing group of improvising musicians formed in 2011, making drone, noise and sci-fi soundscapes. Members have included Kevin Quigley, Graham Dunning, Nabil Ahmed, Jo Thomas, Christos Fanaros, Mark Wagner, Colin Webster and Farooq Janjua.
Lady
Asteroid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Somebody drowned
When lady Jesus come to town
She made the calls, she made it fall
In a "gruesome vibe" never seen before
Somebody joined
Somebody drowned
Who's gonna save this blinded fool?
Watch out everyone, here she comes,
Claiming like she's the chosen one
Who's gonna save this blinded fool?
This is it, a money pit
I sense a fear of mother wit
Disguise
Smokey eyes
How come she don't take advice?
Hey you
Hiding away
Forever on the outside never getting inside
Big fool
Digging a grave
Forever on the outside never getting inside
Hey you
Hiding away
Forever on the outside never getting inside
Big fool
Digging a grave
Forever on the outside never getting inside
Walk the streets of my city/silly hood?
A silly sense of love and youth
What is left of an empty space
Is society screaming for a better day
Walk the streets of my city/silly hood
This is it, a money pit
A sense of fear of mother wit
Disguise
Smokey eyes
How come she don?t take advice
The lyrics of "Lady" by Asteroid are cryptic and can be open to interpretation. The song appears to be depicting a mysterious figure, Lady Jesus, who arrives in a town and causes a "gruesome vibe" leading to people joining and drowning. The chorus begs the question of who will care and save a blinded fool while warning everyone to watch out for Lady Jesus who acts like the chosen one.
The lyrics then shift towards a commentary on society and its issues. The idea of a money pit perhaps represents how society is becoming more and more obsessed with material things, losing sight of what is truly important. The line "forever on the outside never getting inside" highlights how certain individuals might feel left out of this obsession with materialism. The lyrics also seem to suggest that the figure Lady Jesus is taking advantage of this societal weakness for her own gain.
The song makes use of metaphors, such as "gruesome vibe," "money pit," and "disguise smokey eyes" to convey the deeper meaning of the lyrics. The song also paints vivid images of city life, both its positive and negative aspects, with a "silly sense of love and youth" and "society screaming for a better day."

LYRICS:
I met a strange lady in the woods one night. And the moon above was big and bright.
She smiled and said, "your're not alone. This is a place where shadows go."
Where shadows goo.
There are things you cannot see. Behind each stone, beyond the trees.
Beyond the treeees.
Darkness surrounds us now, it's been here since the dawn of time. Dawn of tiimmee.
Lady turned and looked up high, at the moon above, so big and bright. Biigg and briighttt.
She turned back, her smile was gone, and I had been alone all along...All along, all allong!
Matias Mango
Conocí una extraña dama
En los bosques, una noche
la luna arriba
grande y brillante
ella sonrió y dijo
"No estas solo
es aquí donde las sombras se van.."
Hay cosas que no podes ver
detrás de cada piedra
más allá de los arboles
La oscuridad ahora nos rodea
estuvo ahí desde el comienzo de los tiempos
la dama se volteó y miro a lo alto
la luna, arriba
grande y brillante
ella volteó
y su sonrisa no estaba más
y yo, había estado siempre solo
