In 04 Vacuum released the album "Your Whole Life Is Leading Up To This". It was followed by two singles "Six Billion Voices" in 06 and "Walk On The Sun" in 07. Due to high demand as song-writers, Vacuum the band is only active from time to time. The band still enjoys a huge fan-following.

History (unofficial version)
The group was formed in 1996 by Alexander Bard and Anders Wollbeck.
The history of the group can be divided into two distinct parts: before the departure of the group's leader Alexander Bard in 1999 and after his departure, since which the singer Mattias Lindblom has become the group's new leader. The first two full albums of 1997 and 1998 were characterized by classical music influences and socially-, politically- and even astronomically-themed lyrics, which are very unusual for synth pop music; the 2004 album "Your Whole Life Is Leading Up to This", written by Wollbeck/Lindblom, steered away from synth pop to trance/techno and personal lyrics dealing with love and the meaning of life.

Chant Like a Mantra
Vacuum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I can paint landscapes I see
Get down and chant like a mantra
Chant like a mantra, chant like a mantra
Chant like a mantra, chant like a mantra
Chant like a mantra
Fly me higher
If I could reach and touch the sky
Get down and chant like a mantra
Chant like a mantra, chant like a mantra
Chant like a mantra, chant like a mantra
Chant like a mantra
Fly me higher
One day I'll face, one day I'll find,
The mind behind this great design.
Get down and chant like a mantra
Chant like a mantra, chant like a mantra
Chant like a mantra, chant like a mantra
Chant like a mantra
Fly me higher
Go paint the scenes you see
Write down the words you hear
Live inside your dreams, go levitate, be clear.
Go climb the mountains high
Vake room for more designs
Reach out and touch the sky
The mind behind.
One day I'll write the books I read
One day I'll paint landscapes I see
'Til then I sing the sounds I hear
I levitate, my state is clear
