Speaking with Songfacts in an interview, Iversen explained how the song got in the Apple commercial: "We have this company working for us in the States called Synch, and they got in touch with Apple. I think they had this meeting with Steve Jobs himself, and he picked that song out of the bunch and said, 'This is it, this is the new track for the iPod Touch.' Apparently he just loved that track, but we never saw it as one of our singles. We have some other songs that we thought would be great singles, and that would work cool on for the radio, but he really loved that song."
The Asteroids reached instant global exposure when their song Around The Bend was featured in an Apple iPod Touch advert in late 2008. Their music also appeared in US hit TV series Gossip Girl, CSI Miami as well as Chuck.
Around The Bend was also chosen as one of the key tracks to the R.J. Cuttler documentary "The September Issue", based on Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.
Their song The Golden Age is featured in the latest Heineken advert The Entrance from 2011.
Their first show ever was as opening act for Amy Winehouse in their local Copenhagen and Katy Perry chose The Asteroids as opener for her European tour summer of 2009.
The band spend most of 2009 touring all around Europe and the US with their six piece live band which includes trumpet, saxophone, drums, guitar, keys, bass and more...
The press says:
Addictive quirky soulful Pop Music with attitude,
sweeping musical arrangements with one of the hippest vocals around, Known for their infectious live shows, shiny, shimmering, upbeat pop, albeit with a horn-infused, slightly psychadelic edge, C-walking, up rockin’ leg-splitting and hip-shaking their way through, infusion sound like no other,
effervescent music that reminds you of a dozen glorious summerskaleidoscopic monster, bubbly and hypnotic...
At the moment they are busy recording new material for future releases and getting ready for playing their "FRUIT" spring/summer tour around the world for festivals and club shows.

The Sun Ain't Shining No More
The Asteroids Galaxy Tour Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lost the common sense,
Got a rave in my brain
Like I'm without defense.
Till I catch my eyes right in front of me,
It's a bloke of a man finally taking me.
Hey cute from the left, oh yeah
He really had it going
The crowd's getting thinner
We are getting closer,
With a hole in my head
He took me to his sofa
Well now the sun ain't shining no more,
I don't know why but I've seen it before.
Ain't got no joy no man to lean on,
He leaves my soul on the floor like a doll.
He was young, he was hot,
He made me feel alive.
So in love I was falling,
Ooh, it's early morning.
He took me in his hands
And squeezed me real tight.
I was humbled (???)
But depending on this guy
He didn't last very long,
A week or maybe two.
When he called me on the phone
Saying baby I don't love you.
Just another lonely love
Always giving never get.
And now I feel so stupid
It's like a deja vu ooooooo
Because the sun ain't shining no more,
I don't know why but I've seen it before.
Ain't got no joy no man to lean on,
He leaves my soul on the floor like a doll.
Oh no the sun ain't shining no more,
I don't know why but I've seen it before.
Ain't got no joy no man to lean on,
He leaves my soul on the floor like a doll.
Yeah, yeaaahhhh
For a while I'm shining
But later I'm crying.
I'm sick and stronger,
I'm always getting weaker.
For a while I'm shining
But later I'm crying
I'm sick and stronger
I'm always getting weaker
Yeah now the sun ain't shining no more,
I don't know why but I've seen it before.
Ain't got no joy no man to lean on,
He leaves my soul on the floor like a doll.
The Asteroids Galaxy Tour's song The Sun Ain't Shining No More deals with the inner turmoil of the singer who is infatuated with a man who ultimately ends up leaving her. The song speaks to the universal experience of relationships that start with an intense burst of feelings and passion but eventually fade away, leaving one feeling empty and used.
The first verse of the song describes the singer's state of mind, which is in disarray, and she feels like she lacks control. She describes her mind as being "out of sight" and "without defense," which suggests that she has lost her rationality and is at the mercy of her emotions. In the later part of the verse, she meets the man she is interested in and is impressed with his looks, which makes her ignore his move to deceive her.
The chorus of the song talks about how the singer's world has turned bleak and joyless since her love interest left her. The lines "Well now the sun ain't shining no more, I don't know why but I've seen it before. Ain't got no joy no man to lean on, He leaves my soul on the floor like a doll" convey her sense of loss and despair.
The second verse of the song talks about how the singer's relationship with the man was short-lived, and he left her soon. Despite that, the singer was deeply affected by the relationship and feels humiliated by the experience. The ending of the song repeats the chorus, emphasizing the emotional cost of an intense relationship that ends abruptly.
