Tok Rukoo – Carousel

Official music video "Carousel" per­formed by "Tok Rukoo". Director: Kirill Nong. "Tok Rukoo" from Poland and Israel present us with "Carousel", an ener­get­ic track that explores the bound­ar­ies of the post-punk and dark wave genres. This fusion of dif­fer­ent influ­ences gives the song a unique dynamic.

Right at the begin­ning, the power­ful bass line stands out, giv­ing you the feel­ing of being on a spin­ning carou­sel. The bass line relent­lessly pulls us into the song and builds the sol­id found­a­tion for what is to come.

What makes "Carousel" stand out are the intriguing syn­thes­iser sounds that are clev­erly inter­spersed through­out the song. They give the track a futur­ist­ic atmo­sphere and remind us of the hey­day of dark wave. These sound inter­sper­sions are the cherry on the music­al cake and give the song a mys­ter­i­ous touch.

The gui­tar work may seem a little too dom­in­ant to some listen­ers, as it does to me, but they still fit seam­lessly into the over­all pic­ture. Parallels can be drawn here with "An Honest Mistake" from "The Bravery", but without drift­ing into the cat­egory of a mere clone. They give the track an addi­tion­al energy that strengthens its dynamics.

Lyrics of 'Tok Rukoo – Carousel'

She's the best one here
And buddy you know what
I don't mind her for­get­ting my name
I believe that someday
She's gonna feel that
And will join this heart­break­ing game
No, you won't find me here writ­ing new novels
Crying out and start­ing to pray
Now just get in the the car and drive me away away away

Stop these thoughts in my head
Want them all to be dead
Stop, don't listen to
Oh these thoughts in my head
Want them all to be dead
Stop, don't listen to

Makes me feel like I'm on a carou­sel oooooh
Makes me feel like I'm on a carou­sel oooooh

Everyone's so crazy about her
Saying things that are hard to believe
Has it really happened or no way
I am not so eager to hear
I've seen her eyes, oh buddy they've told me
More then someone could even say
Now just get in the the car and drive me away away away

Stop these thoughts in my head
Want them all to be dead
Stop, don't listen to
Oh these thoughts in my head
Want them all to be dead
Stop, don't listen to

Makes me feel like I'm on a carou­sel oooooh
Makes me feel like I'm on a carou­sel oooooh
Makes me feel like I'm on a carou­sel oooooh
Makes me feel like I'm on a carou­sel oooooh

Makes me feel like I'm on a carousel
Makes me feel like I'm on a carousel
Makes me feel like I'm on a carousel
Makes me feel like I'm on a carousel

Makes me feel like I'm on a carou­sel oooooh
Makes me feel like I'm on a carou­sel oooooh
Makes me feel like I'm on a carou­sel oooooh
Makes me feel like I'm on a carou­sel oooooh
