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!

Tonight
RÜFÜS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're coming alive
The dead are arising
The night is coming to life
I'm kicking around day by day
I'm losing my mind every Sunday
I try to look back in my shade
I feel it coming in
The storm coming out
The temperature within
Is cooling me down
I hear them creeping in
They're calling me out
The colder warning is freaking me out
And tonight
We're coming alive
The dead are arising
The night is coming to life
And tonight
We're coming alive
The dead are arising
The night is coming to life
I'm tripping up walls, over bones
The look in my eyes everyone knows
A quivering light, a distant glow
Taking my breath, and it goes
I feel it coming in
The storm coming out
The temperature within
Is cooling me down
I hear them creeping in
They're calling me out
The colder warning is freaking me out
Is freaking me out
Is freaking me out
(And tonight)
And tonight
We're coming alive
The dead are arising
The night is coming to life
And tonight
We're coming alive
The dead are arising
The night is coming to life
The opening lines of Rufus's song "Tonight" are filled with a sense of anticipation and excitement as the singer declares that tonight, they are coming alive. The song appears to have a dark undertone to it, with references to the dead arising and a creeping feeling that something eerie is happening. The repetition of the phrase "The night is coming to life" over and over is both haunting and intriguing, drawing the listener in and making them wonder what is happening.
Throughout the song, the lyrics suggest a sense of disorientation and confusion. The singer appears to be struggling with their own thoughts and emotions, feeling as though they are losing their mind and unable to find a way out of their own thoughts. The references to being over their head in the moon and losing their breath suggest a feeling of being overwhelmed, perhaps by something supernatural and otherworldly.
Despite the eerie tone of the song, there is also a sense of energy and movement. The lyrics mention "tripping up walls, over bones" and "creeping in," giving a sense of action and suspense. The repeated refrain of "And tonight, we're coming alive" underscores this sense of momentum, building up to a powerful and compelling finish.
Overall, Rufus's "Tonight" is a haunting and enigmatic song that perfectly captures a sense of mystery and excitement.

And tonight
Tonight is a special night for us
We're coming alive
We are feeling very energetic and lively
The dead are arising
Even the dead are waking up and joining us in this liveliness
The night is coming to life
The night seems more lively and exciting than any other normal night
I'm kicking around day by day
I am living my life without any major goals or objectives
I'm losing my mind every Sunday
Every Sunday, I feel confused and unsure about my life
I try to look back in my shade
I look back at my past experiences and try to find some comfort
I'm over my head in the moon
I am feeling overwhelmed and lost in my own thoughts
I feel it coming in
I sense that something is about to happen
The storm coming out
A big and intense event is about to take place
The temperature within
My inner feelings and emotions are changing
Is cooling me down
The intense emotions are making me feel calm and relaxed
I hear them creeping in
I can hear some noises or sounds that are making me feel uneasy
They're calling me out
The noises or sounds are urging me to come out of my comfort zone

The dead are arising
Even the dead are waking up and joining us in this liveliness
The night is coming to life
The night seems more lively and exciting than any other normal night
I'm tripping up walls, over bones
I am feeling very uncoordinated and clumsy
The look in my eyes everyone knows
My eyes reveal the thoughts and emotions that I am feeling right now
A quivering light, a distant glow
I can sense a faint and distant feeling of hope or positivity
Taking my breath, and it goes
The feeling of hope or positivity is short-lived and quickly disappears

The level of artistic talent from this Aussie bunch is fantastic. Been listening since Paris Collides. As a fellow Aussie, its great to see my people doing well artistically in the world and at the apex of the EDM wave. Tonight is a great song. Congrats :)

Not much of an electronic music fan but this song is badass.

They use instruments live not just electronic

Saw Rüfüs for the first time in DC in the past month... Such an intimate setting and such amazing vibes. I've been to a lot of EDM concerts but something set this one apart. Everyone was really respecting the music and I can't wait to see these guys again! So good ❤️❤️❤️
