Dopo le a dir poco straordinarie collaborazioni con Robyn e dopo Something in my heart sono finalmente tornati i norvegesi Röyksopp (feat. Jamie Irrepressible) con un pezzo magnifico, intitolato I had this thing: se vi piace l’elettronica, magari un po’ ovattata, questo è indubbiamente il pezzo che fa per voi.
Il video ufficiale del brano, che vi pubblico qui sotto, racconta di una storia d’amore un po’ tormentata “funestata” se così si può dire da una specie di non meglio definita invasione aliena. Testo e traduzione sono sotto.

Testo
Just one slip and it was gone
A minor flaw and then it fell
I brought this house down on myself
I didn’t know just what I’d done
I didn’t know just what I’d done
I don’t remember anymore what I used to be
Where is the quiet piece of home where I could breathe?
Just like a razor to my soul when I’m alone
Oh, I had this thing to call my own
I’m so confused, I cannot see
This wave of guilt is drowing me
It feels like blood is on my hands
I’d give it all for a second chance
I still don’t know just what I’ve done
I still don’t know just what I’ve done
I don’t remember anymore what I used to be
There was a fire burning strong inside of me
Just like the soothing loving warmth of summer sun
Oh, I had this thing to call my own
I had this thing to call my own
I had this thing to call my own
I never meant to let you go
I never meant to let you go
I never meant to let you go
I never meant to let you go
