Sparks / Röyksopp
I sat on top of a hill in the afternoon, the sky was blue and I looked up and saw the moon and I thought it pretty much had embodied and was serenading this song, instruments and all, towards the Earth. "Sparks" is really quite different stylistically for Röyksopp, especially compared to other songs off Melody AM like "Remind Me", "Eple", "Poor Leno", etc. "Sparks" is more traditionally downtempo and carries a big sound for the Norwegian duo's debut album which was released 10 years ago!
The song has an awesome video however it cuts out the beautiful synth solo in the beginning (my favorite part of the song) so I have posted both versions for double enjoyment! Actually, it could be a synth but I'm not positive that it is...
