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!

Right Is Right
RÜFÜS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stealing in the night
Like a dog to the bite
Everything in sight
Give me love, you say
There's a price you gotta pay
Momma's life you cannot play
Right is right
Wrong is wrong
Right is right
Wrong is wrong
Fist comes down
Blood on the ground
Momma's cryin'
"Lord, have mercy!"
Mercy's hard to find
It's just a state of mind
Drop the slack, get out the way
We don't have another day
Right is right
Wrong is wrong
Right is right
Wrong is wrong
Said he's comin' by five, my friend
And I desire to live again
If you hear me, let me know
Woh woh woh woh, no, yeah
Running to the fight
Stealin' in the night
A dog to bite
Everything in sight
Give me love, you say
There's a price you gotta pay
Momma's life you cannot play
Make things right you need to say
Right is right
Wrong is wrong
Right is right
(I mean it, I)
Wrong is wrong
(Sing the song)
Said he's comin' by five, my friend
And I desire to live again
If you hear me, let me know
The world is full of woe, my God, God, yeah
Right is right
Wrong is wrong
Right is right
Wrong is wrong
Right is right
Wrong is wrong
Right is right
Wrong is wrong
In "Right Is Right," Rufus conveys a message about accountability and the importance of doing what is right. The lyrics speak of those who run towards conflict and take advantage of others, comparing them to dogs who bite anything that comes into their path. As the song progresses, the singer emphasizes the importance of love, but notes that there is always a price that must be paid. Furthermore, the song mentions consequences for those who do wrong, as the lyrics describe a violent altercation where someone's mother ends up crying out in despair. In the end, the song suggests that mercy is necessary, but it is also a "state of mind" that must be reached consciously.
This piece is noteworthy not only for its message but also for its musicality. Rufus blends elements of funk, rock, and soul to create a lively track. The musicianship is exceptionally skilled and well-coordinated. The guitar playing is particularly notable, as it incorporates a variety of techniques and styles. The vocal performance is also impressive, as it showcases the singer's range and ability to convey emotion through his singing. Given the infectious groove and the impassioned message, it is no surprise that "Right Is Right" remains a classic in Rufus's discography.

You were right
I know I can't get enough of you
Leave it all to bloom, you were right
I know I can't get enough of you, no
The things that I would do
Under the water, I'm sinking further down
Floating, I'm nothing, I'm nothing
Arms are wide open, I'm calling out your name
Sitting and waiting, I'm waiting
You were right
I know I can't get enough of you
Leave it all to bloom, you were right
I know I can't get enough of you, no
The things that I would do
I'm cold in the river
Lips moving, there's no sound
Pulling me under, I'm under
You've given me nothing
Keep telling me I'll be fine
Keeping me kissing, out guessing
You were right
You were right
I know I can't get enough of you
You were right
I know I can't get enough of you
The things that I would do
You were right
I know I can't get enough of you
The things that I would do

This song was there for me after a really terrible time in my life. I was suicidal, poor, and had a broken heart. I can’t put into words unbelievably thankful I am to be free of that pain now. To those who are struggling out there…it takes time…but things always get better. You need to stop being so hard on yourself and learn to forgive yourself. Always follow your dreams…and NEVER GIVE UP ON YOURSELF.🙏🏼❤️
