Both musicians had a fondness for '80s new wave and a thirst for classic rock, so naturally Vibrolush molded such influences into the sonic fiber behind the band's own glam-oriented sound.

Touch and Go Vassil and Mazler hooked up with drummer Tobias Ralph and bassist 'B' to make Vibrolush a solid foursome. They released their self-titled debut on Interscope in 1997, but three years later Vibrolush scored a deal with V2. Touch and Go was the band's sophomore effort released in fall 2000, introducing a tighter pop sound, layered with bits of funk and raw rock riffs.

Just Like Heaven
Vibrolush Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am the air you breathe
I live in certainty today
A fly found on the wall
I'm up I'm down to save it all
I turn around
I dig the sound
When you mention my name and it's just like heaven
And I'm lost and found

It's right in front of my face again
It's just like heaven to me
Across the universe
I touch the hand that saves the day
I am a rubber ball
And I'm up I'm down I'm thrown away
I turn around
I dig the sound
When you mention my name
And it's just like heaven
And I'm lost and found
It's right in front of my face again
It's just like heaven
And some some days
Are just like heaven
And some some days
Are just like heaven to me
And I'm a child in your arms
I'm a bullet in your head
And I'm shattered piece of glass at times
I'm everything you are
I turn around
I dig the sound
When you mention my name
And it's just like heaven
And I'm lost and found
It's right in front of my face again
It's just like heaven
And some some days
Are just like heaven
And some some days are just like heaven to me

Are just like heaven to me
Just like heaven to me
