Song of the Day – Collide “Euphoria”

An amazon recommendation turned me on to Collide. I only recently discovered them but I love their sound. They have a cover of “White Rabbit” which is the reason I purchased the album, but the songs Euphoria, Frozen and Razor Sharp made me a fan. Her sultry voice and the bands unique sound make them something special. I find myself listening to them at the gym a lot. The pace of the songs help me on long runs while the soothing vocals and dreamy chords keep me centered.

If you like this song then I suggest you try the song “Frozen” off of the same album.

Here is what wikipedia has to say about Collide

“Collide is an industrial rock/darkwave band founded in 1992, in Los Angeles, California, USA, that has incorporated elements of trip hop, darkwave, techno and music from the Middle East into their sound. Their imagery is said to be a wicked and neo-dark version of Scheherazade Arabian Nights tales.

The name comes from the ‘collision’ of musical styles, primarily the ethereal vocals provided by kaRIN and the electronic music provided by Statik. Collide’s debut album, Beneath the Skin, was released in 1996, followed by a remix album, Distort, in 1998 containing remixes by artists such as Kneel Cohn of the bands Spirits In Sin and The Dead Stars On Hollywood. Dissatisfied with the music industry, Collide started their own record label, Noiseplus Music, and in 2000, they released their second studio album, Chasing the Ghost.

Three years later, they released their third studio album, Some Kind of Strange. The following year, the band released another remix album, Vortex, containing remixes by numerous remix artists, including Charlie Clouser. Joining kaRIN and Statik this time around, and for their first live performances a little later in the year, were Scott Landes (guitar), Rogerio Silva (guitar), Chaz Pease (drums), and Kai Kurosawa (Warr Guitar/bass).

In 2005 Collide released a DVD, entitled Like the Hunted, along with a live CD. They then recorded with Curve‘s Dean Garcia in a project called The Secret Meeting. The album, Ultrashiver, was released under their Noiseplus label on June 26, 2007. On September 23, 2008, the band released their fourth studio album Two Headed Monster. Special guests on the album included Danny Carey from Tool and Dean Garcia from Curve.” souce (Wikipedia)

Lyrics

::I calibrate you
Could get lost along the way
I confiscate you
While I find the meaning

I feel I could not escape you
I feel I could not escape you
Euphoria
Close to euphoria

I could get lost
Variations
Come closing in
Evaporating

What I am
Like a pin that pricks you
And perforates you further
Your simulations could get lost along the way

I could get lost
Variations come closing in
Evaporating what I am
Feel some kind of strange

Open the doorway
Love will find you
Would you wait forever?
Love will find you

Would you wait forever?
Variations come closing in
Evaporating what I am
Feel some kind of strange
