When you're young... you embark routinely on these labored, epic train rides across boroughs, testing the seams of your Jansport with blank cassettes, bound for uncle's. You tape LPs from New Order, Prince, and Bowie. At home, Mom & Dad alternate musical selections, Al Green, then Zeppelin. Sam Cooke, then The Beatles. Deposit your newly copied tapes into shoeboxes. Blink and you're a high school senior. New York in the early oughts reclaims disco, house and electro, imbuing these modes with a distinctly punk rock hue. Young wallflowers and budding music nerds are coaxed to cease habitual nose-thumbing and general wet-blanket behavior. They begin to dance. Inspired, you borrow two synthesizers from parents' Christian-rock band. Start a band of your own. Attract the interest of a producer with a name and manager who manages several of your heroes. Leave college and set up shop in Los Angeles. Indulge endlessly, perform ferociously and frequently. Get offered a modest deal with an immodestly large record company. Discover that well-intentioned handshakes and agreements that had taken place early in the life of the group had become shackles. The resultant music grows bloodless and the band withers. You move back in with your parents. Join a panel of indie-ish wirehangers who bartered Polo gooses for old leather and acid washed denim, dragging drunken, romantic bones about places you know, holding court with skinny, spectacled, smart-haircut pixies over Jameson and bathroom-coke. Weekend warrior Don Quixote-ing to a soundtrack of Animal Collective, Hot Chip, The-Dream and Diplo. While at your parents house, by chance of luck, you rediscover the old shoe box containing the decaying magnetic ephemera of your earliest musical loves. The low-bias tapes of Movement, Sign 'O The Times, and Heroes that you'd copied so long ago, all faded and gently distorted. This collection of sounds becomes your conceptual skeleton. You reunite with old friends. Unite with producer Tony Hoffer, (M83, Beck, Depeche Mode) and together, endeavor to imagine what music might bridge your past and your future.

Danger
Mirror Talk Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You need a danger in your nights
When you went out alone
Oh, you drive me crazy
Oh, you drive me crazy

You needed some of midnight drives
Until the danger's on
Oh, you drive me crazy

Oh, you drive me crazy

To made me lose control
It only made me want you more
Crashing my car into the sea
You came in and save me

And underneath the echo lines
You only dance alone
You drive me crazy
Oh, you drive me crazy

To made me lose control
It only made me want you more
Out and about the city streets
But really I'm waiting

For you to call on me
For you to call on me
For you to call on me
For you to call on me

To made me lose control
It only made me want you more
Out and about the city streets
But really I'm waiting

For you to call on me
For you to call on me

For you to call on me
For you to call on me

Overall Meaning

The song describes the lover as someone who enjoys going out alone at night and going for midnight drives until they feel the thrill of danger. The singer admits that this behavior drives them crazy, but at the same time, it only makes them want this person more.

The lyrics suggest that the lover's need for danger has caused them to lose control at times, resulting in accidents like crashing a car into the sea. However, this same danger brings the two of them closer together, as the lover saves the singer in this instance. The lyrics also mention that the lover often dances alone, which could suggest a sense of independence or detachment.

Despite the lover's tendency to seek out danger on their own, the singer is waiting for them to call on them. This could suggest that the singer wants to be a part of the lover's life, to experience the danger together, and to be there to help if needed. Overall, the song Danger seems to explore the theme of the allure of danger and the desire to experience it with someone you care about.

Com essa musica, pareço que volto aos anos 80 e suas baladas. Batida que não se ouve mais, um vocal marcante e um som muito bom. Valeu Mirror Talk por me proporcionar musicas boas novamente....
