Sky 03:19 video
I, I could have been better Got us feeling stuck and I dont know what to do I hide under my feathers Staying for a while cause I can't get you out of my mind Can we try once more? Cause we did it before You dont know what you’re wasting Getting up one more time than you fall And i know we're gonna feel it I’m, l’m getting wiser Running out of wars I could fight over you Some space would have been easier than staying with you now guess you’re worth all the times that I try Can we try once more? Cause we did it before You dont know what you’re wasting Getting up one more time than you fall And i know we're gonna feel it And I wanna swim in your innocent light Like a fool in a cage you’re staying inside my head Take a look at me and at all that we've got Do you see im no good without all my mistakes

Flashbacks 03:35
Walking by where we used to live Remember how, remember how you asked me: Can we go back, can we go back one day? Still think of you from time to time All the nights i spent with you I dont even have a clue ‘bout how i feel about it Rewind and go back in time What if we had talked it through? Would I even have a clue ‘bout how I feel about you messin' with me? I’m giving up dancing You're messin' with me I’m giving up us But when I keep having these flashbacks maybe i should just admit that nobody moves the way you moved me I’m giving up dancing Do you remember the times we went driving Moving down, moving down the highway Killing time like we didn’t mind Still think of you from time to time All the nights i spent with you I don’t even have a clue ‘bout how i feel about it Rewind and go back in time What if we had talked it through? Would I even have a clue ‘bout how I feel about you messin' with me? I’m giving up dancing You're messin' with me I’m giving up us But when i keep having these flashbacks maybe i should just admit that nobody moves the way you moved me I’m giving up dancing I go back to every minute, every time we moved, every minute, everytime we moved Breaking waves It was something that we couldn't do Something that we couldn't do You’re messin’ with me I’m giving up dancing You're messin with me I’m giving up us But when i keep having these flashbacks maybe i should just admit that Nobody moves the way you moved me I’m giving up dancing

Don't Bother 04:13
Baby it’s written all over your face Shouting the words you don’t say It’s coming your way You got it figured out You keep getting closer You keep me going I see that your making me blind I try So could you release me? “Get away”, you said “Cause im gonna keep you waiting” I don’t know what im waiting for I don’t know how to keep you off my mind Don’t bother I’m wondering why Don’t bother wondering why Don’t bother I’m wondering why Don’t bother wondering why Don’t bother Baby I’ll break it all open again Stay inside of my head if you're coming my way You got it figured out You keep getting closer You keep me going I see that your making me blind I try So could you release me? “Get away”, you said “Cause I’m gonna keep you waiting” I don’t know what I’m waiting for I don’t know how to keep you off my mind Don’t bother I’m wondering why Don’t bother wondering why Don’t bother I’m wondering why Don’t bother wondering why Don’t bother I guess everyone gotta let everyone go I guess everyone won’t let anything go

Out Of Doubt 03:18
Suddenly out of doubt I’m sitting here quietly wish I could do it more I don’t know what I’m running for I’m sitting here quietly listening to the dawn before I carry on Break loose I think I really need to care less I need to step back and be a little reckless Rest my head and letting it go Suddenly filled with light The winter seamed longer cause we didn’t build a house What were we thinking of? I’m greeting the sun as it finally breaks the dark Finally no war Break loose I think I really need to care less I need to step back and be a little reckless Rest my head and letting it go

Indigo 03:22
Indigo child you wanna play? And do you wanna know? Do you wanna know? Indigo child you wanna stay or do you wanna go where you can really glow? Uh if you’re running away what am I gonna say? Do you dare looking up before you move on? And I was blinded by the light I can’t think about it Oh but you got me all cured Indigo child I see you're turning I dont wanna know I dont wanna know Indigo child i see you’re fading I dont wanna know I dont wanna show Uh if you’re running away what am I gonna say? Do you dare looking up before you move on? And I was blinded by the light I can’t think about it Oh but you got me all cured Wanna know why you shiver inside Wanna know just how everyone fights And I want rumors to say my name

about

Named after a Carl Sagan’s revered documentary series, Cosmos: A spacetime Odyssey, WATWFTCTKI shared a fascination for the epic and 'over the top' mood that Carl created in the series. Taking a quote from the series, “We are a way for the cosmos to know itself” describes the epic and lush sound that the trio strive to create.


Electro-pop group We Are The Way For The Cosmos To Know Itself returns with their debut EP ’Flashbacks EP’, which was written on a farm in the countryside of Denmark where Mads and Julie moved to recently. In many ways the songs reflect this transition from a busy city-life in Copenhagen towards a more peaceful period where there has been a lot of time and peace and quiet to reflect on past relations and forgotten memories.


The songs have all been created in the studio that the band built themselves and many of the lyrics have been written during early mornings when the boys were still sleeping and Julie was walking by Roskilde Fjord – close to the studio and house.

The trio tells us: “We have been drawn to exploring the retrospective and nostalgic. We wanted the songs to be the kind of music that brings back memories and that you put on when you feel like being a little reflective. To capture this we have drawn on inspiration from various 80s and 90s bands,

however we have tried to mix the nostalgic vibes with more up-to-date productions in order to keep the music sounding fresh and modern.”
The songs are about taking time to reflect on relations to the people around you, both the ones you still enjoy fighting for and the ones you've had to let go.


Receiving praise from tastemakers such as Hillydilly & Dancing Astronaut calling their most recent releases as "infectious vocal melodies” and “sugar-sweet synthpop. With notable appearances on New Music Friday playlists in Denmark, Germany, Columbia, Iceland, Switzerland and Spotify’s global Indie Pop playlist boasting 780,000 followers and a deal with NIF Music to release music in South Korea, the group is sure to thrive on an international scale.
