1. Torpedo is the sparkling alliance of four confused kids all living in the Swedish capital, Stockholm. The members, also found in acts like Tiger Lou, the Je Ne Sais Quoi, Starmarket, the Crystal Committee etc, got together during the rainy summer of 2004 and gave birth to this unstoppable spectacle.
Before there even was a band the two guitarists, Pontus and Andreas, went and recorded three songs in early July 2004 at their friend, Love Martinsens, studio. The result turned out even better than expected and they knew they had to move up to the next level. But there was still a few important pieces missing in the puzzle, a bass player and a drummer. Erik Welén, old friend and band mate with Pontus in Tiger Lou, was the given man for the job as bass player. Finding the funky drummer was going to be a bigger task, but after a few weeks with the searchlights Jimmy Ottosson from "the Je Ne Sais Qoui" came from nowhere and filled the hole. The puzzle was now complete and the game could begin at last.
The band went back into the studio and completed the recording of their debut EP Anticlockwise. Torpedo quickly got in touch with a few smaller labels and finally the German based Strange Fruit Recordings released the EP.
MEMBERS:
Andreas Hogby - Vocals, Guitar

The plan
Torpedo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the summer rain in your eyes
I'm desperately trying to get the blue
Back into your sky
And darlin' I've been dreamin' of you
Have you been praying for me?
As I cast my mind & soul
I've got a plan
That will get us through
I've got a plan
I spend my days counting counterfeit
That will slip on through
For me it's all about you
I've got a plan
That will get us through
I've got a plan
Oh darlin' I feel your pain
And the summer rain in your eyes
I'm desperately trying to get the blue
Back into your sky
I've got a plan
That will get us through
I've got a plan
Oh darlin' I feel your pain
The lyrics of "The Plan" by Torpedo captures the desperation of someone trying to help a loved one who is going through a difficult time. The singer shares the pain of the one they care for and tries to soothe their emotional turmoil by bringing back the joys and happiness that seem to have faded away. The reference to "summer rain in your eyes" symbolizes the melancholy emotions that the person is going through, and the singer tries to make things better.
The singer's thoughts then move to the future, as they think of a plan that will help them both. The plan is not detailed, but it's a promise of hope and a better future. The singer then admits that they spend their days counting "counterfeit" – things that are not important, but they realize that their ultimate goal is to be with their loved one, and nothing else matters. Repeating the chorus, the singer reiterates their love, care, and devotion to the one they care for.
