Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs swings between overt musicality and scarily on-point dance floor intuition, ripping up gigs around the globe with his live show of bizarre instruments, glitter cannons and of course… dancing dinosaurs. Having completed successful tours across America, Europe and a recent sold-out run of headline dates across the UK, as well as featuring at every notable summer festival for the past two years, TEED will release his début album this June 2012.
His second EP, "All In Two Sixty Dancehalls EP" (2010, Greco-Roman), brought notoriety, in particular the lead track, Garden. 'Garden' was revisited last October via Polydor with support from Radio 1, both day and night, and a global sync for the Nokia Lumia ad campaign. It’s one of the most instantly recognizable electronic-pop records of recent years, having clocked up over 2.5million views on YouTube and counting.
Early releases from Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs have been compiled on two EP's - 'Prehistory I' and 'Prehistory II' (both 2011 , Greco-Roman).
TEED's long remix discography includes: Lady Gaga, Friendly Fires, Professor Green to name just a few.
His biggest adventure to date took him to the Congo in Africa, working with local musicians as one of the personally invited producers to collaborate on Damon Albarn and Oxfam’s DRC LP project.
Debut album 'Trouble' is released on the 11th June 2012.

Move On
Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So I find you when I'm home
Leave a light on for me
So I find you when I'm home
It looks like you're gonna leave me
Won't you, won't you be lonely?
Don't you wanna lay
Leave a light on for me
So I find you when I'm home
Leave a light on for me
So I find you when I'm home
It looks like you're gonna leave me
Won't you, won't you be lonely?
Don't you wanna lay
With me always, I know you do
It looks like you're gonna leave me
Won't you, won't you be lonely?
Don't you wanna lay
With me always, I know you do
At first listen, "Move On" by Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs is a pulsing, danceable track that features repetitive lyrics. However, the lyrics themselves convey a deeper meaning. The singer is pleading with someone to leave a light on for them so they can find their way back home. The repetition of this request emphasizes the importance of this light, perhaps representing a beacon of hope in a dark and tumultuous world. The lyrics also suggest a feeling of desperation, as the singer expresses concern that the person they are pleading with is going to leave them behind. The phrase "always, I know you do" implies an established connection that is at risk of being broken.
The second half of the song features repeated lyrics that suggest that the singer believes that the person he is addressing does in fact want to stay with him but is unsure of how to proceed. The lyrics convey a sense of longing and a desire to be close to someone who you fear may leave you behind. The overall tone of the song is somewhat melancholic, with a sense of impending loss that permeates the repeated requests for a light to be left on. The song seems to be about clinging to hope and reaching out for help to find one's way back home.
