Dead Sound
The Raveonettes Lyrics
I hear the sound of falling love
As I wonder where you are
Hits the ground with a dead sound
Know you ain't got far
You're too stupid and sissy-like
To say that you want out
You make the eyes of a million girls
And think you'll make them shout
[Chorus]
Dead sound
I used to take you on every time
That sparkle turned to black
I used to drag you through my streets
When you came crawling back
Your cheap words that you brought on sale
Won't help you through tonight
You make the eyes of a million girls
And think that's what they like
[Chorus]
And now you go through a million girls
And try to pick what's right
When nightfall comes and you're still alone
Do you feel it deep inside
It's oh so cold on the other side
Where thoughts can turn you down
You make the eyes of a million girls
But I see no girl around
[Chorus]

The Raveonettes is an indie rock/shoegaze/noise pop duo formed in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 2001. Comprising Sune Rose Wagner (guitar, instruments, vocals), formerly of Psyched Up Janis, and Sharin Foo (guitar and vocals), their music is characterized by close two-part vocal harmony inspired by The Everly Brothers, coupled with hard-edged electric guitar overlaid with liberal doses of noise.
The name, The Raveonettes, is a direct reference to The Ronettes, and Buddy Holly's song Rave On!.

The name, The Raveonettes, is a direct reference to The Ronettes, and Buddy Holly's song Rave On!.
Their songs juxtapose the structural and chordal simplicity of 50s and 60s rock with intense electric instrumentation, driving beats and often dark lyrical content, similar to another of the band's influences, The Velvet Underground. Altogether, they sound very much like a slightly more melodic version of The Jesus and Mary Chain.

On April 4th, 2011, they released "Raven in the Grave", a nine-track studio album with Vice Records. It's their 5th studio album.
From their site bio:
“I think we have finally hit on something quite important and different for this album,” explains Sune. “This is the first Raveonettes album we've done which doesn't feature the signature Raveonettes surf drumbeat. None of the tunes have any real sunshine to them. It’s all very un-Rave.”
“It has a mood of ethereal defiance” Sharin adds. “It’s dark but not bleak, like the single minded determination caused by crisis that is not quite hope but just as powerful. It’s the perfect winter soundtrack just in time for spring”.

I hear the sound of falling love as I wonder where you are
Hits the ground with a dead sound know you ain't got far
You're too stupid and sissy-like to say that you want out
You make the eyes of a million girls and think you'll make them shout
Dead sound

Your cheap words that you bought on sale won't help you through tonight
You make the eyes of a million girls and think that's what they like
Dead sound

And now you go through a million girls and try to pick what's right
When nightfall comes and you're still alone do you feel it deep inside?
It's "oh so cold" on the other side where thoughts can turn you down
You make the eyes of a million girls but I see no girl around

I love the mood of this song, instrumentals, all of it. I discovered this song when i was maybe 15 or 16. This song still sticks with me to this day. Screw genres, it's just beautiful. It brings me to a mood that i can't describe. I love it. I feel nostalgic for a period of time that I used to hate. God. I wish i could go back.

Lol bro. I was in my late 50's when I discovered it

I still swing my head back and fourth like he does too! Something about the metal head in me🤍

That pitch that gives the goose bumps.
I’m 17 again!

I think a lot of us get that same feeling. I do when I listen to the older albums of my favorite bands like tool, aperfect circle, autolux, radio head and such. Hated those times but man i wish i can do it all over again😌

Cuando quiero ponerme sentimental, vengo a escuchar esta canción 😢

The album “Lust” is a experimental masterpiece,…the extreme “treble-sound” is so challenging for your years and brain….it’s bloody awesome !
