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!

Stranger To Love
RÜFÜS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shake me to love somehow
I need warm embraces, yes, I do
I need smiling faces to look into
I know that time erases the wounds of man
Love is not all I crave
I know there's a world to save
And I think, I've passed every test
But there's something about a brand new heart
Send me a stranger to love
(Stranger)
I need a stranger to love
(Stranger)
Send me a stranger to love
(Stranger)
So I can leave my past behind
(My past behind, my past behind, my past behind)
Hmm, my past, my past behind
I know that love may not come
But if I can dream like everyone
I'd dream the warming feelin' of an early spring
I'd dream the magic elation a touch can bring
I wanna capture the feelin' of a newborn heart
Send me a stranger to love
(Stranger)
Send me a stranger to love
(Stranger)
I need a stranger to love
(Stranger)
So I can leave my past behind
(My past behind, my past behind)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, my past behind
(My past behind)
Send me a stranger to love
(Stranger)
I wanna stranger to love, yeah
(Stranger)
Send me a stranger to love
(Stranger)
So I can leave my past, wanna throw it out the door
(My past behind, my past behind)
Ooh, ooh, baby, baby, my baby, yeah
(My past behind, my past behind)
My past behind
(My past behind, my past behind)
[Incomprehensible]
(My past behind, my past behind)
[Incomprehensible]
(My past behind, my past behind)
