First half is a tension-building cinematic piece with a solo shakuhachi flute. The second half includes a yangqin and drums.

Lyrics

VERSE 1
Do you remember the fun we used to have in the 80s?
Do you remember breakdancing in the street? 
In the summer we would hitch hike everywhere and we were 15!
Do you remember watching scary videos with me? 

CHORUS
”All night long” is what we used to sing.
The ”Blue Lagoon” is what we used to drink. 
My hair was high and my shoulders were huge. 
Yours too, your too! 
And to celebrate (celebrate!) we would have cheese fondue.

Verse 2
Whatever happened to the movie stars after the 80s?
Whatever happened to disco moves on the floor?
People smoked on the airplanes, and the cold war was on the news. 
Whatever happened to the mix tapes I made for you?

CHORUS 
”All night long” is what we used to sing.
The ”Blue Lagoon” is what we used to drink. 
My hair was high and my shoulders were huge. 
Yours too, yours too! 
And to celebrate (celebrate!) we would have cheese fondue.

”All night long” is what we used to sing.
The ”Blue Lagoon” is what we used to drink. 
My hair was high and my shoulders were huge - to impress you!
And to celebrate (celebrate!) we would have cheese fondue.

Do you remember the fun we used to have in the 80s?

Whatever Happened To The 80s?

Piano On Mars

The battle of Linköping, by the river Stångån in 1598, ended all civil wars in Sweden. King Sigismund lost the battle to his uncle, Duke Karl. Many men drowned in the river as they retreated. The battle was followed by the execution of five noblemen at the main square of Linköping in 1600: the event is known as the Linköping Bloodbath.

The Battle Of Stångån

The daughter of Ran and Ägir carries a secret in the depths.
