another intriguing performance video.

(track's actually ok for a german band; lyrics good, too.)

resizeable qt file here

(via del.icio.us)

I find it quite boring really, both the video and the song. It sort of hurts me to say that, I used to love Tocotronic, but then they grew up... :(

lyrics, roughly:

i like it when anger breaks and i like your powers occult

i like animals in the woods at night when they whisper making noise

i like the way i like the goal i like excess and self-exile

i like the dreading and a lot i offer some to everyone

that's what i like that's what i like

but to live here no thank you but to live here no thank you

i like the mirror-effect of the air and when desire never fades the sheen of life in a single day

i like the doubts consuming me when my fear suddenly ends

i like the dancing the idiot-fair when we're erring in circles at night in a motion against diligence

that's what i like that's what i like

but to live here no thank you but to live here no thank you

(what i like: lighting, camera work, editing, understated quality of it all.)

One chord is more then enough
