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.

The Rapture Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My eyes like butterflies you caught 'em and they're open wide
Clouded and hazy future clear whenever I'm with you
Just think of all the things we could do to pass the time
It's a walk in the park, it goes
Na na na, na na na, na na na na na na
Na na na, na na na, na na na na na na
Cuz everybody's got a little pieces of someone they hide
It's okay, it's the way we distract until the day that we die
And though our future's gone uncertain, it's gonna be alright
'Cause though I'm leaving longing leaves me ever by your side
And all our time together is tearing me apart
I can't hold you tomorrow but I hold you in my heart
And all our time together is tearing me apart
I can't hold out forever, but I hold you in my heart
Don't try to tell me that my intentions are untrue
Don't even bother tryin' to tell me 'cause you live a lie
'Cause a moment or a minute I can see it through
And have a precious little second of you by my side, it goes
Na na na, na na na, na na na na na na
Na na na, na na na, na na na na na na
And our future's lookin bright
In all the little pieces of the people that we keep inside
'Cause you can do-make-say-think-laugh-sink-drink all night
All the little visions all the little moments that we keep inside
And all our time together is tearing me apart
I can't hold you tomorrow but I hold you in my heart
And all our time together is tearing me apart
I can't hold out forever, but I hold you in my heart
The lyrics to The Rapture’s “Pieces of the People We Love” are about the uncertainty and impermanence of relationships, and the different ways we cope with those emotions. The singer seems to be addressing a partner who doubts their intentions, but they argue that they are sincere and committed. They are captivated by the other person, and when they’re together, the future becomes clear. But they also acknowledge that their time together is limited, and they try to distract themselves from that fact by focusing on small pleasures and moments, represented by the “little pieces” of people that we all keep hidden inside.
The song has an upbeat, almost danceable quality, with its driving bassline, handclaps, and catchy chorus. But there’s a melancholy lurking underneath, as the singer grapples with the idea that they can’t hold onto the person they love forever. They try to console themselves by holding onto memories and feelings, but they know that they can’t cling to them forever.
Overall, “Pieces of the People We Love” is a bittersweet meditation on love and loss, and the ways we try to cope with the inevitability of change and separation.

Don't try to tell me that my intentions are untrue
I won't believe you if you try to say that my intentions aren't genuine
My eyes like butterflies you caught 'em and they're open wide
You have a strong impact on me, and I'm completely entranced by you
Clouded and hazy future clear whenever I'm with you
Whenever I'm with you, my future becomes crystal clear, and I don't feel lost anymore
Just think of all the things we could do to pass the time
There are so many possibilities of fun activities we can do together
It's a walk in the park, it goes
It's easy and effortless to be with you
Cuz everybody's got a little pieces of someone they hide
Everyone has a part of themselves that they keep hidden from others
It's okay, it's the way we distract until the day that we die
It's okay to have these secrets since it's a way of distracting ourselves until the end of our lives
And though our future's gone uncertain, it's gonna be alright
Even though our future is uncertain, I believe that things will turn out fine
'Cause though I'm leaving longing leaves me ever by your side
Even though I won't be physically present, my longing for you will always keep me connected to you
And all our time together is tearing me apart
Being with you is making it hard for me to be away from you
I can't hold you tomorrow but I hold you in my heart
I can't be with you in the future, but I will always keep you close in my heart
And our future's lookin bright
Despite the uncertainties, I feel optimistic about our future
In all the little pieces of the people that we keep inside
Our future success will come from the different parts of ourselves that we keep hidden
'Cause you can do-make-say-think-laugh-sink-drink all night
We have the ability to do anything we want and have fun together all night long
All the little visions all the little moments that we keep inside
The visions and special moments we share together will lay the foundation for our successful future
I can't hold out forever, but I hold you in my heart
I know that we won't be able to be together forever, but you'll always remain in my heart
