We Invented Paris is a European artist collective - a pool of musicians and friends who constantly “re-invent” their subtly arranged Indie-Pop-Songs in ever-changing instrumentation. The collective came together in mid-2010; surprising for their short existence: they already have an impressive concert-history. Within one year We Invented Paris played over 70 shows in more than 50 cities. Amongst others they supported Kettcar, Octoberman and The Pains of Being Pure at Heart.
The “project” does not only include musicians but also other creatively-active heads beyond the circle of fifths. From web appearances and merchandising through to stage design the collective members make everything on their own. Not surprisingly the band releases their records on their own label “Spectacular Spectacular”. Even the tour booking and organisation is still part of the band’s daily business. They did an entire tour last year using with the help of “Couch Surfing” (www.couchsurfing.org) – travelling through living rooms and kitchens with the goal of exploring abandoned backyards, house boats and cosy bars all over Europe.
We Invented Paris mix up traditional instrumentation with electronic elements and live they often transform sentimental songs into danceable artefacts. 'Melancholic Joy of Life' someone said - which might be the best way to capture the aura of We Invented Paris. The producers of TV Noir, a popular German music show, also recognized the beauty in their songs and invited the inventors of Paris into their live show in Berlin.
We Invented Paris are currently (and most of the time) on the road. Their debut album released on November 4th, 2011.

Iceberg
We Invented Paris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A melody is humming in the sky
It reminds me of the song I sing
When there's nothing left to say
And this iceberg keeps me asking why
Hold you here in my arms
For a lifetime or more
Don't you dare let go
At night my thoughts rest with you in my sleep
I sometimes wonder will they ever die?
All I see is a very short clip
Of what lies underneath
Your love always keeps me asking why
Hold you here in my arms
For a lifetime or more
Hold you here in my arms
Don't you dare let go
Oh how can we lose our perfect lives
Oh how can we lose our perfect lives
Oh how can we overcome ourselves
Oh your love keeps me asking why
This iceberg keeps me asking why
Oh your love keeps me asking why
This iceberg keeps me asking why
Hold you here in my arms
For a lifetime or more
Hold you here in my arms
Don't you dare let go
"We Invented Paris" is a French Indie pop band which has gained popularity within the Indie scene. The song "Iceberg" is a beautiful song that speaks of love and the struggle to understand it. The lyrics revolve around the singer's thoughts and feelings about his significant other, which he compares to an iceberg, full of mysteries and questions that he still has yet to answer.
The singer starts by describing an early morning and how the melody in the sky reminds him of a song he sings when there's nothing left to say. He then mentions that this iceberg, which represents his lover, keeps him asking why. This can be interpreted as the complexity of trying to understand a person completely, their thoughts, feelings, and emotions.
In the chorus, the singer expresses his desire to hold his lover in his arms forever and never let go. He then goes on to say that at night, he thinks about her and wonders if his thoughts will ever die. He only sees a short clip of what lies underneath her mystery, but her love keeps him asking why.
The last verse talks about how they can lose their perfect lives and how they can overcome themselves. It's a reminder to cherish what they have and work through their struggles together. The song ends with the repetition of "Oh your love keeps me asking why/ This iceberg keeps me asking why/ Hold you here in my arms for a lifetime or more/ Hold you here in my arms, don't you dare let go," emphasizing the importance of holding onto their love and never letting go.
Overall, "Iceberg" is a beautiful and poetic representation of the complexity of love, the struggles of understanding each other, and the importance of holding onto each other through thick and thin.
