2) Savoy is a Norwegian-American rock trio consisting of Paul Waaktaar-Savoy (famous from Norwegian hit machine a-ha) (vocals/guitars/bass/keyboards), Lauren Savoy (vocals/guitars) and Frode Unneland (drums/percussion/vocals).
The band has released 5 albums to date. Savoy, unlike Waaktaar-Savoy's other band a-ha, has a certain down-to-earth indie rock approach.
All songs are composed by Paul Waaktaar-Savoy with his wife Lauren Savoy. Lauren herself is known as a film maker and has, amongst other things, directed both a-ha and Savoy music videos. Frode Unneland is one of Norway's best drummers known from the Bergen music scene as drummer with Chocolate Overdose and Popium. He has also drummed for Norwegian pop sensation Sondre Lerche.
3) Savoy is a German emo band.
4) Savoy, a Romanian band, active during the Communist regime and sponsored by the Union of Young Communists. It was supposed to be the rival of dissident rock bands like Phoenix and Sfinx, it got a lot of media support. Jokes about the leader of the band concern his cheap imitation of the Dire Straits vestimentation and garments. Savoy sounded more folky and progressive rather than hard or heavy.
Half an Hour's Worth
Savoy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Half an hour's worth
Of feeling fine
Oh yeah, I won't pretend
Half an hour
Would be heaven sent
Once in a while
Oh why, can't you see...
(It's okay)
Those clouds will pass away
Go see a friend of mine
(It's alright)
Stay out right though the night
The song "Half an Hour's Worth" by Savoy is a contemplative piece about the singer's longing for just half an hour of peace and happiness. The opening lines "Oh how, I wouldn't mind / Half an hour's worth / Of feeling fine" express this desire. The singer goes on to say that they won't pretend that this half an hour of joy wouldn't be a much-needed respite. The lines "Oh yeah, I won't pretend / Half an hour / Would be heaven sent" illustrate this point.
As the song progresses, the singer acknowledges that feeling happy and content is not an everyday occurrence. The lines "Once in a while / I felt a smile / Oh why, can't you see..." show a sense of frustration about the fleeting nature of happiness. However, the singer still tries to remain optimistic, telling themselves and the listener that clouds will pass away and it's okay. They encourage the listener to seek out a friend and stay out all night, which could be interpreted as a way to find joy and escape from the mundanity of everyday life.
Overall, "Half an Hour's Worth" is a poignant expression of the human desire for happiness and the difficulties we face in maintaining it. The song's wistful lyrics and somber melody create a melancholic atmosphere that is at once relatable and cathartic.
