Consisting of Lauri Ylönen (lead singer/songwriter), Eero Heinonen (bass), Aki Hakala (drums) and Emppu Suhonen (guitar). Former guitarist Pauli Rantasalmi left the band in January 2022 to focus on his own path. The band was formed at the end of the band members' schooling and were initially known as Rasmus. They recorded their first single, 1st, released independently through Teja Kotilainen Records in late 1995. They signed with Warner Music Finland in 1996 and released their first album, Peep, that same year. The album went gold in Finland.
The band won the Finnish Grammy Award EMMA for “Best New Artist” in 1996. Playboys, the band's second studio album, and its single Blue, released in 1997, both went gold in Finland. Hellofatester was released in 1998, spawning singles Liquid and Swimming With The Kids. The video for Liquid received regular airplay on Nordic MTV.
Rasmus became The Rasmus in 2000 to avoid confusion with the similarly named Swedish electronica artist, known simply as Rasmus. Into was released in 2001 and went double platinum in Finland debuting at #1. The first single F-F-F-Falling was #1 in Finland during three months in early 2001. The second single Chill reached the #2 place in Finland. The Rasmus toured Scandinavia and Europe along with HIM and Roxette that year to promote the album. The band finally gained international fame with their 2003 album Dead Letters which went gold and platinum in several countries, accompanied with the single In the Shadows which reached #1 in a number of countries. iTunes Music Store offered the track as one of its free singles, a positive public response prompted many listeners to buy the rest of the album. Guilty was released in 2004 and was the last single of the album. The three other singles; In My Life, First Day of My Life and Funeral Song also received mostly favourable reviews and response. During the 2004 Reading Festival in England, the band was pelted with plastic bottles filled with urine and mud (an act reserved for the worst band on the bill each year) until they eventually walked offstage when immediate medical attention was required for Eero's eye.
Hide from the Sun, the band's sixth studio album was released in September 2005. It received Platinum status in Finland and sold more than 15,000 copies in the UK alone. All in all, the album sold 400,000 copies worldwide. The album's three singles were No Fear, Sail Away and Shot. The Rasmus began recording their seventh studio album Black Roses in 2006, recording began and in Helsinki and continued in Nashville, Tennessee. Smaller parts were recorded in Stockholm, Singapore, Berlin and Greece. Livin' In A World Without You and Justify are the two singles released from the album, videos for both songs have received airplay around the world.
A compilation album celebrating The Rasmus' 15th Anniversary, titled Best of 2001-2009 was released November 28, 2009. It includes songs released from 2001 to 2009, as indicated in the album title, and features a previously unreleased song October & April, with the vocals of Anette Olzon from the band Nightwish. This song was recorded during the same time as the other songs from album Black Roses, but wasn't included as it didn't follow the album concept.
Self-titled eighth album The Rasmus was released in April 2012. The album's lead single I'm a Mess was the official song for the 2012 European Athletics Championships. The album won Best album cover and Best music video on EMMA awards.
In the fall of 2016 the band started recording their ninth album Dark Matters. The lead single Paradise was released in March 2017 and the album itself was released in October 2017.
In 2021 the band released two singles for upcoming album. The single Bones was released in May and the single Venomous Moon was released in September featuring Finnish band Apocalyptica.
In January 2022 the band announced their participation in Finnish national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 with the song Jezebel. This was band's first single with their new guitarist Emppu. They won the national selection and went on to participate in Eurovision Song Contest. The Rasmus made it through the semi-finals and placed 21st in the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 final.
On June 10th 2022 a new track, Rise was released, and on the same day it was announced that the new album, also titled Rise , would be released on September 23rd 2022.

The Rasmus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't go to school every Monday
I've got my reason to sleep
Don't you tell me how I should be
Made up my mind 'bout the music
Made up my mind 'bout the style
I know that I'm stable and able to settle down
But I keep...
F-f-f-falling...
Down with the sun
I can't give it up
The night is calling me like a drum
I keep on f-f-falling...

This life is so full of temptation
And I want to keep it that way
I know myself I can handle the game
Made up my mind 'bout the future
Made up my mind 'bout the past
I know that I'm stable and able to hold on

F-f-f-falling...
Down with the sun
I can't give it up
The night is calling me like a drum
I keep on f-f-falling...

I need a flame, I need a spark
Don't be afraid to open my heart
I need a game, I need a shock
Don't be afraid my heart is unlocked

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh woh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh woh yeah yeah

F-f-f-falling...
Down with the sun
I can't give it up
The night is calling me like a drum
I keep on f-f-falling...

I need a flame, I need a spark
Don't be afraid to open my heart
I need a game, I need a shock
Don't be afraid my heart is unlocked
Made up my mind 'bout the music
Made up my mind 'bout the style
I know that I'm stable and able




To settle down
F-f-falling

The lyrics suggest that the singer enjoys the freedom and excitement of not going to school every Monday and making their own decisions about their music and style. They feel that they are in control of their life and can handle the game of the music industry.


The refrain of the song, "F-f-f-falling down with the sun, I can't give it up. The night is calling me like a drum, I keep on f-f-falling" portrays the conflict within the singer's mind.

@ereynolds72

Ever since I heard this song, I cannot say the word falling without in my head going “f-f-f-falling” then the song is stuck in my head again.

The amount of times I’ve had a conversation go

“Yeah I had a dream, I felt like I was falling”

Me- whispering “down with the sun”

“What?”

“What?”



@user-eh4qk4pm9x

Я не хожу в школу по понедельникам
У меня своя причина поспать
Не говори мне какой должна быть жизнь

У меня своё мнение о музыке
У меня своё мнение о стиле
Я знаю, что я стойкий и могу остановиться,
Но я продолжаю

Падать
Вниз вместе с солнцем
Не могу с этим покончить
Ночь зовёт меня барабанной дробью
Я продолжаю падать

Эта жизнь преисполнена искушениями
И я хочу продолжать в том же духе
Я знаю себя, я могу руководить игрой

У меня своё мнение о будущем,
Своё мнение о прошлом
Я знаю, что я способный и устойчивый, чтобы удержаться

Падение
Вниз вместе с солнцем
Не могу с этим покончить
Ночь зовёт меня барабанной дробью
Я продолжаю падать

(Падение) Мне нужно пламя, мне нужна искра
(Падение) Не бойся открыть моё сердце
(Падение) Мне нужна игра, мне нужна искра
(Падение) Не бойся, моё сердце открыто

(Падение)

Падение
Вниз вместе с солнцем
Не могу с этим покончить
Ночь зовёт меня барабанной дробью
Я продолжаю падать

У меня своё мнение о музыке
У меня своё мнение о стиле
Я знаю, что я стойкий и могу остановиться

Падаю...

I don't go to school every Monday
I've got my reason to sleep
Don't you tell me how I should be

I've made up my mind about the music
I've made up my mind about the style
I know that I'm stable and able to settle down
But I keep

[Chorus:]
F-F-F-Falling down with the sun
I can't give it up
The night is calling me like a drum
I keep on F-F-F-Falling

This life is so full of temptation
And I want to keep it that way
I know myself I can handle the game

I made up my mind about the future
I made up my mind about the past
I know that I'm stable and able to hold on

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
(Falling) I need a flame I need a spark
(Falling) Don't be afraid to open my heart
(Falling) I need a game I need a shock
(Falling) Don't be afraid my heart is unlocked

(Falling)

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

I've made up my mind about the music
I've made up my mind about the style
I know that I'm stable and able to settle down

I remember this song had been playing at Viva every morning when I was 15/16. That had such a great impact on me. 36 now and I am still in love with them.

@ShadoCroc

We have the exact experience, and we're also the exact age. In the Shadows has a very deep and personal meaning for me. Specifically that song.

@luzdaryfernandez8756

That moment when you're feeling so old, but you're , actually, 23.

I love this song!
