New single feat. Richard Oakes (Suede)

The Void, the new single from Stockholm electronic duo Unify Separate, featuring Richard Oakes (Suede), is an epic breakdown of a relationship that’s almost lost but still – somehow – worth saving.  The song is propelled by a thrilling blend of urgent, new wave vocals, a driving bass and Moroder-esque synths, lifted skyward by the

Visitors out now!

Visitors – the new single from Unify Separate, is an epic anthem for a world in deep trouble. It’s about the ‘overview effect’, when astronauts  look back at Earth from space and realise how small, fragile and beautiful our planet is.  The soundscape is a mix of the Blade Runner soundtrack, Brian Eno and Muse

Radio Waves – out now!

Radio Waves, the new single from Unify Separate, is an elegy for a relationship or time lost, a place to which there’s no going back, in your head or in your heart. But if the message is bitter, then the medium is sweet. Because you have to mourn lost beauty in a beautiful way. And

New single ‘Embrace the Fear’ out now!

Why is it so many of us are living in fear? Fear of infection, fear of failure, fear of each other and even fear of our own shadow? What if we accepted our uncertainties and learned to live with them? What if we learned to embrace the fear, and by doing so make it lose

About

We are Unify Separate [aka Us]

Unify Separate are the Scottish-Swedish duo of ex-Geneva singer Andrew Montgomery and Lowe frontman Leo Josefsson, whose dark and beautiful electronic pop is a soundtrack for your dreams.

The pair started writing together in 2015, a few months after Montgomery had relocated to Sweden.

With a unique voice that’s equal parts choirboy and soul boy, Montgomery made waves in the Britpop era with Geneva, scoring four emotive Top 40 singles and two critically-feted albums (‘Further’ and ‘Weather Underground’) on Nude Records between 1996 and 2000, touring with label mates Suede along the way. In 2014, after a long silence, he released his debut solo album ’Ruled by Dreams’, produced by Sean McGhee (Robyn, Alison Moyet, Imogen Heap). The album attracted rave reviews in Q (4 stars) and Uncut (7/10).

Josefsson is a luminary of the Stockholm synth scene with the bands Lowe and Statemachine, whose work has been recognised with several Scandinavian Alternative Music Awards, including Best Newcomer, Best Live Act, Best Song and Best Album. He’s also a respected video director who’s worked with the likes of Kent, Miriam Bryant, Tilly & Elephant, Eric Saade, The Mobile Homes and Smith & Thell, and has technical direction credits for Rihanna and Robyn. He has a growing collection of analogue synthesisers that are taking over his studio by stealth.

Lyrics
MUSIC SINCE TOMORROW

Stains, all around
I try to count and give them numbers
Stains, without sound
Soaked in long deserted wonders
Remains, of fired rounds
They keep a secret in their slumber
Remains, lost and found
We told the truth and then we stumbled

Let the splinters take the stand and wait for a rewind
Let them tell you all about the crime

I will be mute and let the numbness shout to you now
I will be mute, cos only silence speaks the truth
I will be mute, and fill the air without vibrations
And I will be mute, only silence speaks the truth

Break, what is whole
Then smash the parts into tomorrow
Break, a broken hole
And fill the nothingness with sorrow

Let the void sound, hear it scream confessions in your head
Let the perfect emptiness embrace you in its lead
Conversate oblivion to see how it’s combined
It will tell you all about the crime

I will be mute and let the numbness shout to you now
I will be mute, cos only silence speaks the truth I will be mute,
and fill the air without vibrations I will be mute,
only silence speaks the truth

(There’s no ending, no ending, no ending)

Though it all seems like light years ago
There’s no ending, there’s no ending
Travelled so far but still not enough
There’s no ending, no ending

I’m gonna go to the end of the world
I’m gonna go to the end of the world 
I’m gonna go to the end of the world 

Come on, come on, to the end of the world x 3

There’s no ending, no ending…

Surly bonds that only hold me down
Can’t escape your orbit, pulling me back
Termination shock won’t stop you now
Energy to feed off, pulling me back (back)…

Though it all seems like light years ago
There’s no ending, there’s no ending
Travelled so far but still not enough
There’s no ending, no ending

Come on, come on, to the end of the world x 6

No ending, no ending, no ending

Come on, come on, to the end of the world x 6

Remember when I should’ve stayed with you?
All those years ago, all that time ago
But then, I couldn’t wait to
Sing a different song
Prove my own heart wrong, oh…

Still don’t trust myself to love you
So much time has passed, don’t know how to act
The stars that arc across the sky to you
Are all you’re gonna need
Not someone like me

We all do what we do what we have to do
Even if we’re wrong, even if we’re wrong
We all what we do what we have to do

Remember when I should’ve stayed with you?
All those years ago, all that time ago
The stars that arc across the sky to you
Are all you’re gonna need
Not someone like me…

We all what we do what we have to do
Even if we’re wrong, even if we’re wrong
We all what we do what we have to do
Even if we’re wrong, even if we’re wrong…

With no explanation
You killed the conversation
How can you turn your back on us now like this?

You showed yourself to me and gave me all your glory
Didn’t that even mean something to you, maybe?

I see the world, I see the world 
In technicolor, technicolor

Now see the world, come see the world
In technicolor, technicolor

With no hesitation
You broke with the sensation
Why can’t we just live moment to moment, tell me

I see the world, I see the world 
In technicolor, technicolor

Now see the world, come see the world
In technicolor, technicolor

Now, now and then I’ve found
There’s a truth that hides in doubt
Why can’t we work it out?
I’m so sick of being 

Let down… (Technicolor)

Come see the world, come see the world
(But I think I’m losing you…technicolor)

Now I don’t wanna to lose you
I don’t wanna lose you
But I think I’m losing you

I see the world, I see the world 
In technicolor, technicolor

Now see the world, come see the world
In technicolor, technicolor

Come see the world, come see the world
(But I think I’m losing you)

Now see the world, come see the world
In technicolor, technicolor

I don’t wanna lose you
I don’t wanna lose you
But I think I’m losing you

I want you back
Cos I can’t take anymore
Since we broke up
I’ve been sleeping on the floor

And I don’t mind saying
That I can’t go on
What is the point?
And I don’t mind saying
That I’ve nothing left
I just give up

You… Never get over… You

I want you now
To just tell me what went wrong
Still don’t know why
After five years we are gone

And I’ve broken down
And I can’t get out
I just can’t get out
And I’ve broken down
Till I’ve nothing left
I’m finished now, now, now

You… Never get over… You
I want you back
You… Never get over… You
I want you back

You… I want you back… You
I want you back … You … Never get over… You

I want you back
Cos I can’t take anymore
Since we broke up
I’ve been sleeping on the floor

I have been worn down
I have been strung out
I have been controlled
Now it can be told

Suspend the denial x 4

How do you carry your sins?
How do you carry your sins?
Does the weight of self-hate not do you in?
How do you carry your sins?

I have been worn down
I have been strung out
I have been controlled
Now it can be told

Suspend the denial x 3
Suspend…

How do you carry your sins?
How do you carry your sins?
Does the weight of self-hate not do you in?
How do you carry your sins?
Ooooh…

Suspend the denial
Suspend the denial
Suspend the denial
Suspend…

I have been worn down
I have been strung out

You could be my refuge
From my ingratitude
You could be my saviour
My saviour

At least you did something
(Something when you look back)
Tried something
(Gave us all the love you had)
Were something
(My saviour)

Now I flow my tears
Wash away my fears
Till I can see clearly
Till I have you with me again

Now I flow my tears
Wash away my fears
Till I can see clearly
Till I have you with me again

At least you did something
(Something when you look back)
Tried something
(Gave us all the love you had)
Were something
(My saviour)

Now I flow my tears
Wash away my fears
Till I can see clearly
Till I have you with me again

Now I flow my tears
Wash away my fears
Till I can see clearly
Till I have you with me again

You know where I’ll be
If you feel you need me
We are broken friends
Hope we’ll meet again

In a feedback loop
Everything I do
Don’t believe in fate
But I make the same mistakes

As a child, I used to wander
With the secrets of the world
But now I only wonder
Can this all be real?

Every time I try
To restart you and I
Something stops me dead
I will not be led

As a child, I used to wander
With the secrets of the world
But now I only wonder
Can this all be real?

In a loop, you’re my broken friend
In a loop , we are broken friends

In a loop, you’re my broken friend
In a loop, we are broken friends…

Can it still be real?
With the secrets of the world

Can it still be real? x 3
Can you still be real?

On the road of suffering
Each one takes their turn
The shaking and the burning
Each one has to learn

Wait, just wait for it… wait…

On the road less travelled
Searching for a cause
The twisting and the turning
Sometimes we get lost

All I want to do is stop your hurt
All I want from you is try to make it work

Looking for the memories
Smashed inside our hearts
How could we forget about
All the things we are

All I want to do is stop your hurt
All I want from you is try to make it work
(Again)…

If it doesn’t feel right
If it doesn’t seem right
Then you have to fight
Till the dying of the light

If it doesn’t feel right
(All I want to do is stop your hurt)
If it doesn’t seem right
All I want from you
Till the dying of the light
(Again)…

My heart’s desire
Gave up long ago
My soul’s bonfire
Gave me all I know

My heart’s desire
Gave up long ago
My soul’s bonfire
Gave me all I know

Can you sense the need in me?
Do you fear the greed in me?
Can you sense the need in me?
Do you fear the greed in me?

Radiating desperation
Drowning in anticipation
Radiating desperation
Drowning in anticipation

I’m lost at the party
And not a friendly face in sight
It feels so far from home here
In this strange, strange light

My heart’s desire…oooh…
My Heart’s desire…oooh…

I’m lost at the party
And not a friendly face in sight
It feels so far from home here
In this strange, strange light

Can you sense the need in me?
Do you fear the greed in me?
Can you sense the need in me?
Do you fear the greed in me?

Radiating desperation
Drowning in anticipation
Radiating desperation
Drowning in anticipation

I’m lost at the party
And not a friendly face in sight
It feels so far from home here
In this strange, strange light

I never told you
Just how I feel
But I’ve cried over and over again
Can this be real?

I want that feeling
I used to know
It used to be so very simple
So long ago

This hazy language
This masquerade
Going through the motions
Repeat to fade

You have to hurt me so I can heal
You have to hurt me so this is real
You have to hurt me… so I can heal

I don’t want to live with nothing
I just need your love
I’m desperate to know you’ve got me
Secure in your arms

You have to hurt me so I can heal
You have to hurt me so this is real
You have to hurt me… so I can heal

(so I can heal… so this is real… so I can heal) …
