1) Orkid is the solo project of Bryan McAdam, playing lush IDM influenced by Boards of Canada.
2) The three angry shoegazers that decided to go by the name of Orkid are Vlad Ilicevici – guitars & vocals, Radu Pop – drums and George Frățică – bass. They have just released their first album, available here orkid4.bandcamp.com. The nine tracks that are included on the album are based on 30 years of sensations, ideas, emotions, stories and experiments that Vlad gathered since his first musical experiences – childhood violin & guitar lessons, but also very loud music through the headphones of the most precious thing he owned as a kid, a green Aiwa walkman. Vladi is a film director and producer directors and Radu – an animator and visual artists. They also work together for Animest www.animest.ro and its educational platform, the Animation Worksheep.
Nevertheless, Orkid is probably their most personal and beloved project.
3) Matilda Melin, placing 6:th in the 2013 season of Swedish Idol. OKID describes her music as indie-electro-pop.

Said we won't go this far
Oh, such a mess you are
But I seem to forget
We're better off when we're wasted
Who knew when all alone
That we could feel this way
Forgotten all I've lost
I don't if you notice, when I tell 'em
Whatcha' want when you're looking at me just like that
If it's all we ever wanted Why do we end up tomorrow
The night that we ever said
Drop that sweater
When you're in my bed
I still don't get why
We're better off when we're wasted
We're better off when we're wasted
We're better off when we're wasted
Don't sober up, you will waste it
Say this is just for now
Until we both find out
Who we are meant to find
We're better off when we're wasted
And it is quite bizarre
I won't confess, you are
Exactly what I want
Don't sober up, you will waste it
I don't if you notice, when I tell 'em
Whatcha' want when you're looking at me just like that
If it's all we ever wanted why do we end up tomorrow
The night that we ever said
Drop that sweater
When you're in my bed
Drop that sweater
When you're in my bed
I still don't get why
We're better off when we're wasted
We're better off when we're wasted
We're better off when we're wasted
We're better off when we're wasted
(We're better off when we're wasted)
I should have faith in you
When you feel this too
Ain't got time wasting time
If it's not spent with you
It's way too obvious
When the both of us
We feel exactly the same
I can't have enough of you
Drop that sweater
When you're in my bed
I still don't get why
We're better when we're wasted
Drop that sweater, can't have enough of you
We feel exactly the same when
We're better off when we're wasted
Drop that sweater, can't have enough of you
We feel exactly the same when
We're better off when we're wasted
We're better off when we're wasted
(Wasted)
(Don't sober up, you will waste it)
We're better off when we're wasted
The lyrics of Orkid's song "Wasted" reflect on a complicated and on-off relationship that seems to work best when both parties are under the influence of alcohol. The opening line ("We're better off when we're wasted") sets the tone for the whole song, suggesting that perhaps the only time the relationship feels right is when both partners are not sober.
The lyrics suggest that both partners are aware of the complexity of their relationship ("Said we won't go this far / Oh, such a mess you are / But I seem to forget"), but despite this, they find solace in each other's company when they are intoxicated ("Who knew when all alone / That we could feel this way / Forgotten all I've lost").
The repeated line, "Don't sober up, you will waste it" seems to be the core message of the song. The relationship only works when both partners are on the same level, and sobriety will only reveal the difficulties and challenges that they may face in the relationship.
Overall, Orkid's "Wasted" is a raw and honest portrayal of a complicated, love-hate relationship that only seems to work when both parties are intoxicated.
Line by Line Meaning
Said we won't go this far
We promised ourselves that we won't take things too far
Oh, such a mess you are
You're such a hot mess
But I seem to forget
But I can't seem to remember that
We're better off when we're wasted
We seem to have a better time when we're drunk
Who knew when all alone
Who would've thought we could feel this way when we're by ourselves
That we could feel this way
That we could feel such a strong connection
Forgotten all I've lost
I forgot all the things I've lost or given up while we've been together
Don't sober up, you will waste it
Don't ruin the moment by sobering up
I don't if you notice, when I tell 'em
I don't know if you notice, but when I tell them
Whatcha' want when you're looking at me just like that
What do you want from me when you're looking at me that way
If it's all we ever wanted Why do we end up tomorrow
If this is what we both wanted, why do we always end up hurting each other the next day
The night that we ever said
The night that we promised each other something
Drop that sweater
Take off your sweater
When you're in my bed
When we're together in bed
I still don't get why
I still don't understand why
We're better off when we're wasted
We seem to have a better time when we're drunk
Say this is just for now
Let's just say that this is temporary
Until we both find out
Until we find out who we truly are meant to be with
Who we are meant to find
Who we are meant to be with
And it is quite bizarre
And it's quite unusual or strange
I won't confess, you are
I won't admit that you are
Exactly what I want
Exactly what I'm looking for
We're better off when we're wasted
We seem to have a better time when we're drunk
Drop that sweater, can't have enough of you
Take off your sweater, I can't get enough of you
We feel exactly the same when
We have the same exact feelings when
We're better off when we're wasted
We seem to have a better time when we're drunk
We're better off when we're wasted
We seem to have a better time when we're drunk
We're better off when we're wasted
We seem to have a better time when we're drunk
I should have faith in you
I should trust you
When you feel this too
When you feel the same way
Ain't got time wasting time
I don't have time to waste
If it's not spent with you
If it's not spent with you by my side
It's way too obvious
It's very clear or evident
When the both of us
When both of us
We feel exactly the same
We have the same exact feeling

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
(We're better off when we're wasted)
Said we won't go this far
Oh, such a mess you are
But I seem to forget
We're better off when we're wasted
We knew it all along
That we could feel this way
Forgotten all our flaws
Don't sober up, you will waste it
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't know if you have noticed,
Want to tell how much I want you
When your looking at me just like that
If it's all we ever wanted
Why do we end up tomorrow
Denying that we ever said
[Chorus]
Drop that sweater
When you're in my bed
I still don't get why
We're better off when we're wasted
we're off when we're wasted
We're better off when we're wasted
Don't sober up, you will waste it
[Verse 2]
Said this is just for now
Until we both find out
Who we are meant to find
We're better off when we're wasted
Admit It’s quite bizarre
I won't confess, you are
Exactly what I want
Don't sober up, you will waste it
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't know if you have noticed, want to tell how much I want you
When your looking at me just like that

Drop that sweater

We're better off when we're wasted
We're better off when we're wasted
We're better off when we're wasted
(We're better off when we're wasted)
Why shall I fake with you
When you feel this too
Ain't got time wasting time
If it's not spent with you
It's way too obvious
Clear that both of us
We feel exactly the same way
can't have enough of you
[Bridge]
Drop that sweater
When you're in my bed
I still don't get why
We're better when we're wasted
[Chorus]
Drop that sweater, can't have enough of you
We feel exactly the same way
We're better off when we're wasted
Drop that sweater, can't have enough of you
We feel exactly the same way
We're better off when we're wasted
We're better off when we're wasted
