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 Fall
The Rapture Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As the night's cold sneaks in the day
And here we lay down
In this purest white
Impervious grey
As summer lay dying
Falling, falling
A silent season
The falling year
This coldest of feelings
A sound that creeps over me
The thirsty earth
A fevered slumber
Creeping over me
Forever circle
Forever it creeps over me
As the year decays
And I fall
Again
The lyrics of The Rapture's song The Fall allude to the experience of the arrival and inevitable end of the fall season. The singer perceives the night's cold sneaking into the day and the pure white that covers the ground. The scene around them is grey, as if the summertime is dying, falling away from them as leaves do from trees. They are left alone in this grey, silent, and cold season, and the singer expresses that it brings about the coldest of feelings, a sensation that creeps over them as they witness this season's arrival. The thirsty earth is in a fevered slumber, as if waiting to receive the falling leaves and snowflakes. The season forever circles like the passage of time, and the singer expresses that even though it happens every year, it still creeps over them, as their world falls apart, and they experience the discomfort it brings.
The song seems to speak to the natural yearning for a stable and steady world, as the seasons change and everything falls apart, suggesting this song's universal appeal. The lyrics have a poetic quality, expressing an understanding of the lyrics where a listener can imagine, like the singer, the falling leaves and the changing seasons' colors, and feel the crux of emotion that accompanies the scene.
Line by Line Meaning
I see it's time again
I am aware that the same situation is occurring once more
As the night's cold sneaks in the day
The coldness of the night is gradually taking over the day
And here we lay down
We are settling down in our current state
In this purest white
We are in a state of innocence or purity
Impervious grey
A color that is immune to change, possibly symbolizing a stagnant state
As summer lay dying
As the season of summer comes to an end
Falling, falling
Things are rapidly deteriorating or declining
And leaves us alone in this grey
The situation has left us isolated and hopeless
A silent season
A time without any excitement or activity
The falling year
The year is coming to a close or coming to an end
This coldest of feelings
A deep feeling of emptiness, loneliness and sorrow
A sound that creeps over me
A feeling of distress or unease slowly taking over
The thirsty earth
An earth that is deprived of water and life
A fevered slumber
A state of feverish sleep or delirium
Creeping over me
Slowly taking over one's senses or consciousness
Forever circle
A continuous cycle of events that seem never-ending
Forever it creeps over me
The feeling of distress or unease always seems to take over me
As the year decays
As the year comes to an end or deteriorates
And I fall
I succumb to the feelings of loneliness or despair

The main issue Rapture fell wasn’t much more than restriction— the very same Andrew fled, not much more in my opinion.
First he falsely advertised to workers— because he wanted more workers for it to be made faster.
He then was controlling who entered and what they could do to some degrees which made people wonder if it was a free market— especially since it’s locked up and isolated from other trade… mercantilism (probably spelling it wrong, it’s what Canada has ‘the market is to serve the state and ‘zero sum’ fallacy belief restrict it)
Now they could also leave if they so wished.
As for charity being labeled parasites, not really charity is the best and vibrant version of the free market, however in Gary’s Gulch ‘give’ ‘can I have’ something like that isn’t quite allowed; a reverse of ‘Athem’ a pretty good dystopian novel by Ayn Rand.
It was a powder keg, with Atlas being thermite to light it
- No free market trade.
- Controlled mercantilism (auto correct corrected it)
- no export for people who are discontent (Mexico has this along with most western nations)
- Anti charity (free market)

@FX Morin mercantilism basically became known now as protectionism and they practice the same policies pretty much.
Discouraging imports, and so on ‘to save our jobs’ and to tax people to subsidize them- ‘too big to fail’
The link would go here but youtube hates it.
Canada is more free market than what America is.
We can get everything we get from China- for less of a price if we get it from Mexico due to shipping costs…this would also solve the illegal immigration problem by making Mexico a lot better in theory, or not depending on actions… we have free money to China and the USSR and choices taken didn’t improve much, if anything.
Ironically Canada is more free market than America.
Sri Lanka, Botswana and Rwanda are three countries.
Sri Lanka is the most free market of the world, the other two are up and coming; promoting free markets in Africa and are the fastest growing economies in Africa- if I can remember… this was before 2020’s pandemic panic.

I recommend reading the novel: “Bioshock: Rapture”, it’s prequel book that goes into more detail on how Ryan developed Rapture, how it was before the games time, and how it was doomed from the start even before the discovery of Adam.
