Lyrics:
suddenly the strangest feeling
inside of me
i don't know what it is
turning into someone else
do i need it
still i don't know what it is
suddenly my only friend is
loneliness
and all i'm wishing for is
happiness
searching for a part of me
my long lost friend
where could she be?
suddenly my world is turning
my life stands still
calling my name
suddenly my only friend isloneliness
and all that i am wishing for is
happiness
suddenly my only friend is loneliness
and all that i am wishing for is...
Paatos has been categorized as Melancholic Post-Rock. This could be a description as good as any other. The Swedish band based in Stockholm has many influenses. The sum of Sigur Ros, Bjork, Radiohead, Pink Floyd, Can, early Bowie, and many more, plus the inevitable affect of the Swedish constant state of melancholy and lack of sun during a better part of the year, creates its own voice. Ultimately it just needs to speak to you as a human being.
The five members of Paatos have varied musical backgrounds which they bring into the studio and rehearsals when the music is composed. The beauty is that this creates music that none of the members could accomplish on their own, as well as being a very unifying process for the band. One attitude which is nurtured is not paying too much attention to idiomatic aspects of style and other forms of do's and don'ts. An open mind can open many doors. And it's certainly a lot more fun!
