An offshoot of the Denmark-based Boom Clap Bachelors massive collective, Quadron is an avant R&B (with an occasional nudge toward folk-soul) duo of multi-instrumentalist/producer Robin Braun (aka Robin Hannibal, also one-half of the duo Owusu & Hannibal) and vocalist Coco O. In 2009, Quadron began issuing their collaborations, led by the off-center mid-'60s soul throwback "Slippin," which was used in the film Se Min Kjole. A little later in the year, outside their homeland, BBC DJ Gilles Peterson was floored enough by the sparse, abstract "Day" to slot the song into the year-end All Winners special of his Worldwide program. Los Angeles' Plug Research label picked up their self-titled album for wide circulation and issued it in March 2010. Braun and Coco were subsequently sought out by numerous artists -- including Leon Ware, the Internet, and Tyler, The Creator -- for collaborations. Their cover of Michael Jackson's "Baby Be Mine" was included on the soundtrack to the 2012 film Think Like a Man. In 2013, Braun made an album with Mike Milosh as Rhye, while Coco was featured on the soundtrack to Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby. That June, they released their second album, Avalanche, on Sylvia Rhone's Epic-associated Vested in Culture label. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi
Herfra Hvor Vi Står
Quadron Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Og snart står solen op igen
Månens harmonikaskrig
Dør langsomt hen
Herfra hvor vi står,
Kan vi se os omkring - til alle sider
Det bevæger sig når vi går
Vi har talt sammen næsten hele natten
Og her der er vi så gået i stå.
Rundt om ligger folk og sover
Jeg ved ikke rigtigt, hvorhen vi skal gå.
Herfra hvor vi står,
Kan vi se os omkring - til alle sider
Det bevæger sig når vi går
Det forandrer sig i alle tider.
Det var en ven der tog afsted lidt før de andre,
Og nu sir de han kom for langt ud.
Men når der ikke er nogen der kender retningen
Så er der jo altid en eller anden fyr der må stå for skud
Herfra hvor vi står,
Kan vi se os omkring - til alle sider
Det bevæger sig når vi går
Det forandrer sig i alle tider.
Herfra hvor vi står,
Kan vi se os omkring - til alle sider
Det bevæger sig når vi går
Det forandrer sig i alle tider.
The lyrics to Quadron's "Herfra Hvor Vi Står," which translates to "From Where We Stand," speak of a sense of stagnation and uncertainty among the singer and their companions. The opening lines indicate that everything has quieted down and the moon's "harmonica screams" slowly fade away, hinting at a moment of stillness before the day starts anew. The chorus emphasizes the importance of looking around and observing how things change and move as we do, acknowledging the constant evolution of the world around us.
The second verse reveals that the singer and their companions have been talking all night and have reached an impasse, unsure of where to go next. The final verse tells the story of a friend who has gone too far and gotten lost, highlighting the importance of having someone in charge and making decisions when no one else knows the way.

Alting er faldet til ro
Everything has calmed down
Og snart står solen op igen
And soon the sun will rise again
Månens harmonikaskrig
The moon's harmonious scream
Dør langsomt hen
Slowly dies away
Herfra hvor vi står,
From where we stand,
Kan vi se os omkring - til alle sider
We can look around in all directions
Det bevæger sig når vi går
It moves when we walk
Det forandrer sig i alle tider.
It changes at all times.
Vi har talt sammen næsten hele natten
We have talked together almost all night
Og her der er vi så gået i stå.
And here we have come to a stop
Rundt om ligger folk og sover
People are sleeping all around
Jeg ved ikke rigtigt, hvorhen vi skal gå.
I'm not sure where we should go.
Det var en ven der tog afsted lidt før de andre,
It was a friend who left a little before the others,
Og nu sir de han kom for langt ud.
And now they say he went too far.
Men når der ikke er nogen der kender retningen
But when there is no one who knows the direction
Så er der jo altid en eller anden fyr der må stå for skud
There is always someone who must take the blame
Herfra hvor vi står,
From where we stand,
Kan vi se os omkring - til alle sider
We can look around in all directions
Det bevæger sig når vi går
It moves when we walk
Det forandrer sig i alle tider.
It changes at all times.
Herfra hvor vi står,
From where we stand,
Kan vi se os omkring - til alle sider
We can look around in all directions
Det bevæger sig når vi går
It moves when we walk
Det forandrer sig i alle tider.
It changes at all times.
