From their early mixes of new wave, to Stooges-like powertrip rock, and electronic ambiance (furiously captured on their '87 first LP), The Young Gods have covered a large scale of yesterday and today's music. They incorporate organic sounds from outer space (L'eau Rouge), elements of classical music (play Kurt Weil), or heavy metal satire (in the amazing TV Sky '92) ... that has never overloaded their major songwriting talent. A talent that reminds us now of such soulful and poetic artists as The Doors, Jeff Buckley, Pink Floyd, Nine Inch Nails, or Kraftwerk.

After their live album (Live Sky Tour) came out in '95 the overwhelming and worldwide success of Only Heaven (Interscope, produced by Roli Mosimann), proved that the band was not just another industrial outfit, but one of the most important musical channels of the last decade. With six albums to date, The Young Gods have created a magical universe of sound, landscapes and emotions attracting a huge and eclectic following who are still surprised by the many different aspects of their music.

In '98, after being involved with various projects (Al Comet and Heaven Deconstruction) Al and Franz parted company from drummer Uese. The Young Gods soon recruited another long time friend Bernard Trontin to join them on their journey. They started a new European tour to fuse as a band, with a new musical rush, head-set, and sweat-drenched live experience.

Back in their hometown in '99, the pioneers of sampling started building their own studio and locked themselves in to work on new songs, a long and awaited process of creation that as usual was as unique as the fusion of three free electrons.

Today, we live within electronic overdose and out of focus rock and roll in a multi-cultural melting pot. The Young Gods return with their most focused, strong album to date. Second Nature (produced by the band itself) is a genre - bending flow of digital and organic emotion showcasing the band at its peak, pure and simple.

Listening to such mighty tracks as Lucidogen, Attend, the mind-blowing Supersonic or The Sound In Your Eyes including astral journeys as In the Otherland, Love 2.7 and Toi du Monde, The Young Gods have proved their relevance and their will to push the wall of sound forward.

Tomorrow will be another rebirth for the Gods.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Our House" by Young Gods describe a dynamic and constantly changing living space that can be compared to the movement of the ocean. The repetition of the phrase "our house is an house that moves just like the ocean" emphasizes the idea that the space inhabited by the singer and their companions is fluid and unpredictable. The metaphor of the ocean highlights the power of nature and illustrates the idea that the house is subject to forces outside of human control.

The lyrics then shift to a commentary on the presence of hatred in the world. The singer suggests that hatred is easily accessible, and can be purchased like a commodity. The repetition of the word "hatred" underscores the sinister nature of this concept. The lyrics then describe hatred as being "in front of the sky," again evoking the idea of a force that is outside of human control, but is always present.

Overall, the lyrics to "Our House" convey a sense of transience and unpredictability in the living space of the singer, and also touch on the darker aspects of human behavior.
