Röyksopp - Happy Up Here [Official Music Video]

[@arcanecrow7498]

It's 2023, today is my 24th birthday and I'm taking a trip down memory-lane. This song used to my absolute favourite for the longest time, since around the time it first came out, and Röyksopp my favourite group throughout my childhood (even though I could barely pronounce it when people ask me what I listen to ahah). It's been many years now, and my musical horizon has broadened a LOT since then. But when I finally replayed this song, man, I instantly remembered why I was such a huge fan. Happy up here, and many other of Röyksopp's songs will stay with me forever. You guys are the best.

[@urban_phantom7750]

Well, art and music are not things to be compared. It's like saying Apple Cinnamon tea was my favorite, but then I discovered the taste of Sumatra Coffee. The beauty is that widened horizons don't require a diminished appreciation for what we originally discovered. Cheers 🍻

"roy-sop" Two syllables, short o on the sop. no K.

My little brother died from a stroke. I went through his Xbox One and found that he shared a small clip of this video on his profile. I didn't know what this song was until I heard it on my brother's Xbox. I Shazam'ed it. I'll always remember my little brother turned me on to this after he passed. RIP Michael Leonard Angelo

I remember now, I was a kid :5 years old watching MTV back to 2009, didn't know the name of song but the video still familiar stuck into my mind until now I knew it. The video aired in winter on MTV as A Special Creative one that describes its era and the beginning of music media/internet Phenomenal moment Gosebumps . I used to get scared and amazed by that song. It Brings back memories with Nokia & Blackberry people were playin this song on Myspace . Great memories.

[@ayphd]

I remember when I first heard this song on the way to a hiking expedition with a youth group I was a part of when I was a little younger and a little more innocent. Sitting in the back, laughter bouncing between all the glad-filled girls and boys, this song shimmered through the mini-van; mixing with the swelling warmth that reverberated though that small moment and into the swelling landscape that rolled by. I just sat with a smile on my face and a glazed mind, taking in each second as it came.
