1)The Rapture is an American rock band formed in San Francisco. The band mixes influences of post-punk, dance-punk, acid house, disco, electronica, and more.
The Rapture formed in 1998 by drummer Vito Roccoforte and guitarist/vocalist Luke Jenner. After relocating to New York, the original bassist left and was replaced by Matt Safer. The band toured extensively and in 2001 released the six-song EP Out of the Races and Onto the Tracks on Sub Pop Records. The Rapture were forerunners of the post-punk revival that was taking place in the early 2000s. Multi-instrumentalist Gabriel Andruzzi joined the band in 2002. Their first full-length record, Echoes, was released to critical acclaim in 2003.
In January 2004, the Rapture acted as main support to Funeral for a Friend on the NME Awards Tour, alongside other burgeoning acts Franz Ferdinand and The Von Bondies. Later that year, the band toured on the main stage of the Curiosa Festival alongside Interpol, Scarling, Mogwai, Cursive, The Cooper Temple Clause, Head Automatica, and their own idols, The Cure.
The Rapture announced the completion of their second full-length album, Pieces of the People We Love, which was released on Universal Motown Records in September 2006. Paul Epworth, Ewan Pearson and Danger Mouse produced the album.
Their fourth album In the Grace Of Your Love Love was released on September 6, 2011 following a five year hiatus during which Jenner attended church regularly and sang in its choir. His ecclesiastical experiences influenced his songwriting and such songs as the first single "How Deep Is Your Love?" were his interpretation of gospel music. (How Deep Is Your Love Songfacts).
Phoenix producer/Cassius member Philippe Zdar produced the record, which the Rapture recorded in Brooklyn and Paris.
In 2014, a press release for the Red Bull Music Academy tribute to William Onyeabor featured Luke Jenner as one of the acts participating. In the press release, Jenner was tagged with the brackets "formerly of The Rapture." It was confirmed by Jonathan Galkin, manager of DFA records, that the band had split. The band reunited in 2019 without bassist Matt Safer.

Echoes
The Rapture Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The people churning
The conversating
The price is what?
The conversating
This place is heaven
I put on lipstick
Life makes echoes
If you see them
Life makes echoes
Come together
Come together
Come together
Come together

The Rapture's song "Echoes" is a powerful reflection of the hectic urban life and the overwhelming stimuli that it brings. The opening lyrics express the idea of the city being alive, with its constant movement, noise, and hustle. The churning people, the endless conversations, and the ever-changing price of living in such an environment all contribute to the background noise that pervades daily existence.
The next lines draw attention to the contrast between the chaos of the outside world and the calmness within oneself. The singer puts on lipstick, a small act of self-care that creates a moment of stillness amidst the busyness. The lyrics "This place is heaven" are a thought-provoking statement that suggests the possibility of finding beauty and peace even in the midst of chaos.
The chorus of the song, "Life makes echoes," is a powerful metaphor for the interconnectedness of all things. The actions we take and the choices we make reverberate through our lives and the lives of those around us, creating a ripple effect that can be felt far beyond our immediate environment. The repeated invitation to "come together" is a call to make meaning out of these echoes by connecting with others and working towards a greater purpose.

I met a guy 7 years ago; we both loved music; he lend me some CDs and he was particularly fascinated by The Rapture's first album, and even more by this song. I loved it too, and I still do... just as much as the guy first showed it to me. Now we're getting married <3
