Fun For People

In My Arms

Come Back

Be Mine

The Rain

Givin' My Life

Pirmoji THE ROOP lietuviška daina. Vaizdo klipas “Keista Draugystė” – dviejų, ilgą laiką draugaujančių, žmonių dialogas. Tai vizualinė istorija apie tikrą, nesurežisuotą santykį. Vaidotas ir Deimantė kartu jau dešimt metų, filmavimo aikštelėje jie buvo vieninteliai dalyviai. Prisitaikę prie saulės ritmo, vyras ir moteris filmavo vienas kitą dvi dienas lygiai po tris valandas, kad išgautų fotografišką tamsos ir šviesos žaismą.

The first THE ROOP's Lithuanian song. The video "Keista Draugystė" ("Strange Friendship") is a dialogue between two people in a long-term relationship. It is a visual story about true, unstaged relation. Vaidotas and Deimantė, together for 10 years, were the only participants on the set. Adapting to the rhythm of the sun the man and the woman filmed one another for two days for exactly 3 hours to get that photographic play between darkness and light.

Dainos žodžiai / Lyrics:
KEISTA DRAUGYSTĖ

Aš noriu pasakyti tau
Ką taip giliai savy slepiu
Gerai išmokau apsimest
Tiek daug baimės ir veidų turiu

Parodyti norėčiau tau
Visas žaizdas, tamsius kampus
Kurie neleidžia man kvėpuot
Gal suprasi ir priimsi
Gal padėsi man išsivaduot

Mūsų keista draugystė
Man artima, ji sava.
Mūsų keista draugystė
Netobula, bet sava.

Aš noriu pasakyti tau
Esi man artimas žmogus
Nelengva su manim draugaut
Vis kas kartą nežinai kas bus 

Aš noriu pasakyti tau
Tik žodžių tinkamų nėra
Galbūt geriau ir neieškot
Jų tikriausiai nesurasim
Nes daugiausia žodžių tyloje

Mūsų keista draugystė
Man artima, ji sava.
Mūsų keista draugystė
Netobula, bet sava.

THE ROOP - Keista Draugyste

Matto resurrected THE ROOP’s “Keista Draugystė”

While the summer tour is coming to an end, THE ROOP introduce a remix of their Lithuanian song “Keista Draugystė” (Strange Friendship), made by DJ and music producer Laisvūnas Černovas, better known as Matto.

“I took on remixing “Keista Draugystė” because the original song is a great piece of work which is worth being heard and revived again. The initial idea was to adapt the song to the taste of dance music lovers, to make a remix which is not too far from the original sound, but with some electronic music taste, stronger rhythm”, - told Matto.

THE ROOP band members trusted Matto’s decisions, since they already had a chance to work with him on their hit “On Fire”, which spread beyond Europe.

“It is easy and exciting with Matto. Currently we are finishing ten new THE ROOP songs which will form the upcoming album. Shortly we will introduce one of them to the public”, - intrigued THE ROOP lead singer Vaidotas Valiukevičius.

Video for “Keista Draugystė” remix was made using material from the original video where Vaidotas and his girlfriend Deimantė filmed each other at home. The couple has been together for 13 years.

“The song itself carries a very beautiful message which almost everyone can relate to, because we are all unique and different, our friendships with others are also unique and sometimes even strange. Probably one of the reasons why I had the idea to remix this song was my personal close connection to it and its message”, - confessed Matto.

The band members are four guys from Lithuania, a country sitting right at Europe's geographical centre.

THE ROOP certainly take their work seriously. This new, fresh-sounding pop rock band released their debut single "Be Mine" in November of 2014 but don't be mistaken – they're far from being inexperienced. They spent almost four years in the studio looking for that perfect sound - writing 50 songs in the process before finally deciding on 10 good enough for their debut album "To Whom It May Concern". Record came out on November 30th, 2015.

„This album is a piece into which we put all of our thoughts and ideas. Countless nights were spent for the sake of it and innumerable amount of coffee has been drunk. This is our musical dream that came true. We really hope that people who love music will enjoy our dream“, – said THE ROOP lead vocalist Vaidotas Valiukevičius.

The video of “Not Too Late”, which came out in the late October of 2015, contains the latest technologies in video shooting and allows the viewer to undergo a whole new experience in video watching.

What they and the team of the WIDE WINGS creative studio did is a combination of two complex technologies in one music video – 360 degree shooting and animation. 

Therefore, today THE ROOP can be proud of becoming the first ones in the whole world to have this type of music video with their song “Not Too Late”.

All members of the band have been previously active in other music-related projects and the lead singer is also known as a TV host and an actor.

THE ROOP is very much their labour of love. „We didn't rush things. We just gathered to try and create music that we would be satisfied with, as opposed to some hit-and-miss stuff we were separately playing in the past“, lead singer Vaidotas  explains.

An extra touch was added by Australian Leon Zervos – top mastering engineer who has worked with INXS, Aerosmith, Muse and many other music's biggest names. 

Musical style: rock / pop rock / soft rock.
