The Band, whose songs are primarily sung in English, performed their first concert on November 20th, 1989. The band displayed a bewildering array of influences, including Can, Captain Beefheart, Mingus-styled jazz, J.J. Cale, Leonard Cohen and Velvet Underground. Consequently, they incorporate a wide variety of styles into their work. dEUS have become one of the most successful (and influential) Belgian rock bands.
Many musicians became well-known after having been members of dEUS: Stef-Kamil Carlens (Moondog Jr., Zita Swoon), Rudy Trouvé (Kiss My Jazz), Danny Mommens (Vive La Fête), Craig Ward (The Love Substitutes), Jules de Borgher and Tim Vanhamel (Millionaire, solo). The current line-up (as from the album Pocket Revolution) includes Mauro Pawlowski (who became famous as solo artist and before with the band Evil Superstars) on guitars and vocals, Alan Gevaert on bass and Stephane Misseghers on drums.
Erik Drew Feldman and David Bottrill have acted as producers.
dEUS has made 8 studio albums up to now:
Worst Case Scenario (1994),
In A Bar, Under The Sea (1996),
The Ideal Crash (1999)
Pocket Revolution (2005)
Vantage Point (April 21st 2008)
Keep You Close (September 20st 2011)
Following Sea (June 1st 2012)
How To Replace It(February 17th 2023)
Other releases include:
My Sister = My Clock (1995) and
No More Loud Music - The Singles (2001), a best-of compilation.
Before Pocket Revolution (2005), dEUS took a "sabbatical" for over 6 years. In these years, Barman was busy with his second passion: film. He wrote and directed Anyway The Wind Blows, a movie received well by critics in Belgium. The key-song of the soundtrack for the film was Summer's Here by Magnus, a project by Tom Barman together with CJ Bolland.

Include Me Out
dEUS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When will I feel it again?
Somebody opened a door
I'm afraid to walk in
Imagination will kill
If imagination stands still
I read it in open book
Read it in open book
Oh man, I read it in books of laughter
Oh man, I read it in books of pain
What are you talking to me
Cause I'm not really there
Like a spirit that's free
I'm as light as the air
Oh man, I'm as light as the air and floating
Oh man, I'm as light as the air and floating
Take me on
Where the fire winds blow
Of where a fallen leaf stays
For days
On your shoulder
Cause all I need
Is to find my own
And that summering drone
Illicit and golden
Oh lord where have I seen this before
Oh lord when will I feel it again
Read it in every move
Read it in every game
Read it in what you do
Read it in everything
Oh man, as light as the air and floating
Oh man, as light as the air and floating
Take me on
Where the fire winds blow
Cause when time stands still
I wait until
It's over
And all I need
Is to find my own
And the summering drone
Illicit and golden
The opening verses of dEUS's song "Include Me Out" express a sense of déjà vu and anticipation. The singer asks, "Where have I seen this before? When will I feel it again?" suggesting that they have been in this situation before but are still unable to predict what will happen next. This sense of uncertainty is reinforced by the image of a closed door the singer is afraid to walk through. They recognize that imagination can be both a weapon and a hindrance in such situations. The reference to having "read it in open book" suggests that the singer has studied and learned from past experiences, but this hasn't necessarily made them any more confident or prepared for the present situation.
The chorus of "Include Me Out" suggests that the singer has found some solace in reading about the experiences of others. The repetition of the phrase "Oh man" seems to indicate a mixture of awe and resignation. The following lines, "I read it in books of laughter / I read it in books of pain," suggest that the singer has found something universal in human experience, something that transcends their own individual circumstances.

Yeah the beginning is awesome, especially 'Hello from the children of planet earth.' It's actually a real recording from a probe we send out into space a few years ago containing the Voyager Golden Record hoping some day another extra terrestrial civilization will find it. Much like throwing a bottle in the ocean hoping some day someone will find it.

This song hits different
@Anneke95
Ever since I watched the movie I wondered which song this was... I found it back then but never listened to is again... Now I found it again and I can't stop listening anymore...
@josecarlosamador
I came here from the movie Ben-X which I am watching right now. And it's funny because it's so hard to just keep watching that movie. Not because it's a bad movie, it's the opposite. It's amazing how you can actually feel what the caracther felt in the movie - very very few films can make you feel that way, even if it's a terrible feeling.
