From across a vast galaxy of musical taste, these three young vagabonds with Scandinavian roots have collided to form a dancefolkpopindielectronica silenced explosion. Their healthy combination of live instruments and electronic production ignite - forming moments of dance floor euphoria, stomping vocal driven breakdowns and roaming lo-fi grooves.
After an extremely successful debut EP release at the start of 2011 and a thumping live show doing the rounds in Ol' Sydney town, RÜFÜS are poised for a very big year!

RÜFÜS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seven stars, heaven's eyes
Seven songs on seven seas
Just to bring all your sweet love home to me
Hey, you fill me like the mountains
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You fill me like the sea, Lord
Your love brings life to me
Your love brings life to me, hey!
Rings of cloud and arms aflame
Wings rise up to call your name
Sun rolls high, Lord, it burns the ground
Just to tell about the first good man I found
Yeah, you fill me like the mountains
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You fill me like the sea, Lord
Not coming past but still at last
Your love brings life to me
Your love brings life to me
Oh oh oh oh oh oh yeah!
Half moon on night time sky
Seven stars, heaven's eyes
Seven songs on seven seas
Just to bring all your sweet love home to me
Hey baby, you fill me like the mountains
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You fill me like the sea, Lord
Not coming past honey still at last
Lord, you fill me like the mountains
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You fill me like the sea, Lord
Not coming past but still at last
Hey, you fill me like the mountains
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You fill me like the sea, oh Lord
You're not coming past, honey, still at last
Your love brings life to me
Your love brings life to me
Your love... la la la la la, la
Won't you bring life to me
I said you're gonna ride around
When I'm on a little home babe
Bring it on home, you bring it on home
Bring it on home, bring it on home
I said your love brings life to me, yeah
The song "Half Moon" by Rufus features vivid imagery of a half-moon in the night sky, surrounded by seven stars that represent heaven's eyes. The lyrics also describe the seven seas and seven songs that are necessary to bring the singer's love home to him. The imagery and metaphors in the song create a sense of longing for the singer's love, which fills him up like the mountains and the sea. The love he speaks of also brings life to him, and he sings about the way the sun rises high and flames surround him, signifying the intensity of his love.
Beyond the surface-level interpretation of the lyrics, "Half Moon" can also be seen as a song about the power of love and how it can change a person. The singer feels like he is being filled up by his love, and that the love brings life to him. He also seems to believe that his love is connected to heaven in some way, as if his love is a force of nature that cannot be tamed or contained. Overall, the song's lyrics paint a picture of love as a driving force that cannot be ignored or denied, and as a source of strength and hope in the face of uncertainty.
