They added the 1979 suffix to the name following a legal dispute with New York City dance-punk label Death From Above (known as DFA Records since the September 11, 2001 attacks). "Death from above" was written on a helicopter in the movie Apocalypse Now, which was copyrighted in 1979. However, Grainger says this is simply a coincidence; 1979 was chosen as it was, amongst other reasons, "the year I was born."
Death from Above 1979 had planned on recording the follow up to its debut full-length You're A Woman, I'm A Machine. There were plans to release it in three versions: the traditional bass/drums lineup, a full-band lineup with musicians assembled by Grainger, and a remix album. The albums featuring a full band and remixes were supposedly to be released on the band's official website.
In 2005 the video for "Romantic Rights" won a VideoFACT award at the MuchMusic Video Music Awards.
On August 4, 2006, the band announced they had decided to split "almost a year ago" due to the strained relationship between the two - claiming they only talked during interviews and just before shows - not to mention the fact that they had achieved all their aims after the record went gold in their native Canada.
Keeler was slated to play bass on the Queens Of The Stone Age album Era Vulgaris, but later revealed on the Death From Above 1979 message board that he could not due to scheduling conflicts. Keeler is now one half of MSTRKRFT, his new project with producer Al-P.
Sebastien Grainger is now in his own side project band Sebastien Grainger & the Mountains
In 2011 it was announced that the band were reuniting to perform at Coachella, then the band announced that they were planning to reunite on an ongoing basis.
Turn It Out
Death From Above 1979 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't hold your breath
I'm on the move, move, move
Move
I know you have so much to
Say to me but I'm on the move, move, move
Move, move, move
Oh, we'll take the time
Take the time to turn it out
The lyrics to Death From Above 1979's song "Turn It Out" convey a sense of restlessness and a desire to keep moving forward. The opening lines, "Be there for you someday soon, Don't hold your breath," suggest a promise for future connection, but with a caveat that it may not happen immediately. The repetition of "move, move, move" emphasizes the need to keep going and not slow down for anyone or anything.
The second verse expresses an understanding that there may be unresolved issues between the two people mentioned in the song, but the urgency to keep moving forward is too strong to stop and address them. However, the chorus offers a glimmer of hope - that there will be a moment to "turn it out" and perhaps work through these issues. The use of the phrase "turn it out" suggests a desire to confront and solve these problems, perhaps even to the point of celebration.
Overall, "Turn It Out" is a song about embracing a sense of forward momentum, while acknowledging that there may be obstacles and difficulties to address along the way. It speaks to the human desire to keep moving forward, even when faced with challenges.

I heard this on shoresy and immediately had to figure out who this was. As much as I love music I can't believe I've never heard this, I've missed so much.
