I'm Hardly "Over" GusGus

Somehow the Icelandic eclectic electronic music band GusGus escaped my attention until tonight when I found it perchance on Youtube. Somehow they have been at it since 1995 but I figure better late then never in enjoying their genius. In this their 2011 track "Over" from their most recent album Arabian Horse the entire track rocks but the drop starting at the 3:38 mark gives me eargasms and yes I am dancing to it alone out of sight of the public. The music video for this track is also quite good with the bandmembers looking exotic and cool bordering on bad-ass.
That this track did not receive critical and commercial acclaim is just one more example of how rigged the music promotion system is which has less to do with talent and quality and more to do with connectedness within the system.
The lyrics are below the music player. Crank up your speakers and let this thing rip! 


We have made our mistakes over
We have gone up and down over and over

Once again I have crossed, double-crossed over
I betrayed our trust, knocked it all over

Over, over, over, over

And I wonder why, why we didn't try this time
Didn't even try, try to make things right over

(As we wonder why, why we didn't try, we didn't try this time) Over
(We didn't even try, try to make things right) Make me
(This time) Over

(As we wonder why, why we didn't try, didn't try this time) Make me over
(We didn't even try, try to make things right) Make me
(This time) Over(As we wonder why, why we didn't try, we didn't try this time)
(We didn't even try, try to make things right) We didn't try
(This time) Over

We're the wind, this will blow, it will blow over
Is the time, the time to mend over?

Maybe we can dive deep into ourselves over
Find the smallest flame, restart the game over

Over, over, make me over, make me over, over

(As we wonder why, why we didn't try, we didn't try this time)
(We didn't even try, try to make things right this time)

(As we wonder why, why we didn't try, we didn't try this time) Over
(We didn't even try, try to make things right) Make me
(This time) Over(As we wonder why, why we didn't try, didn't try this time)
Make me over (We didn't even try, try to make things right)
Make me (This time) Over

We didn't try over, over, over, over, over

(As we wonder why, why we didn't try, we didn't try this time)
(We didn't even try, try to make things right this time)
