I like the drummer, he looks like he's having fun and the drumming sounds funky. The song really puts the drumming center stage too, so I guess I like it as a whole well enough. :)
I don't like the video though. I though it was some form of commercial for the headphones everyone is wearing. And why is there half an orchestra there?
I guess it could be just a recording session… But it looks too staged for that? Eh, yeah I dunno. :v
Røde Mor - Grillbaren
My Danish isn't very good, but here's an attempt at translating the lyrics anyway:
[hide]
- Grillbaren[1] closes now
and the neon lights go out
Behind the counter she stops
and wipes with her rag
She tallies the till [2] - paper, paper
she puts coin on coin
and tens on tens - Grillbaren closes now
She collects glasses and mugs
and I can see that she is tired
Now it's over with sausages, chips and mash
end of the daily dish
But she can not really get going
I think she dreams that my truck
takes her with - The grill bar closes now
Yes - she surely feels the vibrations
leather , lacquer and chrome
Maybe she feels the explosions - Now glows each atom
Come, we ride off in my cage of tin and glass
See - the sky is filled
with petrol and gas - Grillbaren closes now
Yes, here on the banks of
the cultures glossy power
Here you are often stunned by
a hot and strange dream
You dream that you live, you dream that you smile
dream that you love
dream that you see - Grillbaren closes now
Here I sit and there she stands
and see, my table it shouts: come
come clean me, touch me now
But no - her gaze is blank
She looks past me and dream only because[3]
she hears the soft rush of cars
which runs past - Grillbaren closes now
[1] A "grillbar" is a kind of resturant that serves simple food like hotdogs and hamburgers. Dunno what you would call them in English. "Grillbaren" is the definite form of "grillbar", "The grillbar" so to speak.
[2] "Till" as in "cash register"
[3] No idea what the meaning is of this line

Danish lyrics:
[hide]Grillbaren lukker nu
og neonlysene går ud
Bag disken standser hun
og tørrer med sin klud
Hun tæller kassen op - papir, papir
hun lægger mønt på mønt
og tier på tier
- Grillbaren lukker nu
Hun samler glas og krus
og jeg kan se at hun er træt
Nu er det slut med pølser, chips og mos
slut med dagens ret
Men hun kan ikke rigtig komme afsted
jeg tror hun drømmer at min lastbil
tar hende med - Grillbaren lukker nu
Ja - hun føler sikkert vibrationerne
af læder, lak og krom
Måske hun mærker eksplosionerne - nu gløder hvert atom
Kom, vi rider væk i mit bur af blik og glas
Se - himlen fyldes
af benzin og gas - Grillbaren lukker nu
Ja, her ved bredden af
kulturens blanke strøm
Her blir man tit bedøvet af
en hed og mærkelig drøm
Man drømmer man lever, man drømmer man ler
drømmer at man elsker
drømmer at man ser - Grillbaren lukker nu
Her sidder jeg og der står hun
og se, mit bord det råber: kom
kom ryd mig, rør mig nu
Men nej - hendes blik er tomt
Hun ser forbi mig og drømmer kun fordi
hun hører de bløde sus af biler
som kører forbi - Grillbaren lukker nu
