Archive fue creado por los músicos Darius Keeler y Danny Griffiths en 1994, partiendo de la disuelta banda Genocide 2, a los que se unieron la vocalista Roya Arab y el rapero Rosko John para crear su primer álbum "Londinium" , editado por Island Records en 1996.
Entonces su estilo fue identificado con el Dark Trip Hop, el rap y el rock alternativo, estilos en los que por entonces destacaba en el panorama británico la banda de referencia Massive Attack.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
Gm So much writing on the wall, can you read it all? Can you see through the haze when the writing's small? Fm Can you read what it means, is it make any sense? 'Cause it's all dollar bills, and pounds, and pence Gm Telling you what to do and what pills to take, when your head's in your hands and your belly aches, Fm Where to go in the world when you need a change, don’t you worry about the bill, that can be arranged. Gm Make me sad, make me sleep, make me question, Give me things that can calm this depression. Fm Make me sad, make me sleep, make me question, Give me things that can calm this depression.
Verse (1:28)
Gm Let me know what to do when my money's spent, Let me know how to smell and to pay the rent, Fm Let me know what to do when my hair is gone, Let me know who to kill when the war is on. Gm There's a woman of your dreams and she's on the phone, Better send her a text when you're on your own. Fm Make me sad, make me sleep, make me question, Give me things that can calm this depression. Gm Make me sad, make me sleep, make me question, Give me things that can calm this depression. Fm Make me sad, make me sleep, make me question, Give me things that can calm this depression.
