1. Moderns (also known as 'The Moderns') was a mod revival band from Sweden that existed from 1979 to 1981. It was made up of three high school friends that had previously served in the british invasion cover band Buddyboys. They self-released an EP, "Got to Have Pop", in January 1979. They also released their final 45 "Ready for the 80s" in 1980 and-- after a successful tour in the UK-- their only LP "Tro, Hopp & Fruktan" in 1981.
2. The Moderns was a garage rock band from Australia. Samuel John Rees fronting the band, Willi Hamilton wielding a 335 high in the air, Andre Franco slapping the bass and Swanny hitting the hell out of his skins; The Moderns are dirty Gold Coast rockers who are fast becoming the best live rock band in Australia.
After playing their first show in September of 2007, the four of them can now be found loudly unleashing their flavour at every divey dingey club on every corner of every town.
They've been referred to as a glass of coca cola, for some would say, they; 'looks kinda dirty, but go down a treat'.
3. The Moderns was an industrial dance band from Wichita, Kansas (1980's)
4. MODERNS is the Los Angeles-based synth-pop duo of Christopher Fudurich and Rosie Okumura. Fudurich is an engineer, multi-instrumentalist and analog enthusiast. As a producer, he has worked with a variety of pop artists but MODERNS is his first collaboration with his own musical output. Okumura is a songwriter, vocalist, and performer who has partnered with veteran producers. Musically, MODERNS is synth-pop built on an organic foundation.

Said it quietly, can't unfold me
Do what you say
Do what you say
Ill only do what you say
Do what you say
Ill only
I get lonely but you don't know me
Do what you say
Do what you say
Ill only do what you say
Do what you say ill only
Today you say
It's not the way
I'll be okay
You want to to change me
Why can't you stay
It's not the same
We'll be okay
You want to take me
But I won't hold still
You say it all the time
I'm worth the loss of mind
If only i could find a single piece of mine
You say it all the time
I'm worth the loss of mind
If only i could find a single piece of mine
A piece of mine
A piece of mine
A piece of mine
Mine mine mine
You say it all the time
I'm worth the loss of mind
If only i could find a single piece of mine
You say it all the time
I'm worth the loss of mind
If only i could find a single piece of mine
A piece of mine
A piece of mine
A piece of mine
Mine mine mine
Too late to mean it
I didn't say it
You'll find me writing
While you're still deciding
While you're still deciding
The lyrics of MODERNS's song Terrestrial contains a mix of emotions that revolves around the theme of self-discovery and being true to oneself. The first two stanzas speak to the idea of treading lightly and being cautious because someone else is controlling the situation. The singer feels like they are only doing what the other person says, and they are unable to be their true selves. The chorus then shifts to a more introspective tone, with the singer questioning why they are being changed and why they cannot stay the same. They realize that they cannot remain still and that they need to find their own voice.
The third verse is where the singer takes control of their situation. They acknowledge that they are worth more than just being told what to do and that they need to find their own way. The fourth stanza further emphasizes the importance of self-discovery with the line "Too late to mean it, I didn't say it." This line implies that the singer has already wasted enough time being someone they are not and that it is time to find themselves. The song closes with the line "While you're still deciding," implying that the singer is ready to move forward and find their true self while the other person is still undecided.
Overall, Terrestrial is a powerful song that highlights the importance of staying true to oneself and the journey of self-discovery. The lyrics capture the struggle of being in a situation where someone else has control and the realization that we all have the power to take control of our lives.

One of those songs that just melts you with how well it is composed. I typically don't like a lot of singing in songs like this, but the vocalist absolutely NAILS it. She makes this song.
