Lo-Fi-Fnk is a Swedish electropop-band. They have released two EPs, We Is in 2002 and ...And the JFG? in 2005. On April 24, 2006 they released their first studio album, Boylife. Since then they started touring the world, and in 2008 they started working on their second album, The Last Summer, which was released in August 2011.
Lo-fi (from the term "low fidelity") is lower quality of sound recordings than the usual standard for music. The qualities of lo-fi are usually achieved by either degrading the quality of the recorded audio, or using certain equipment. Recent uses of the phrase have led to it becoming a genre, although it still remains as an aesthetic in music recording practice. Many lo-fi artists use inexpensive cassette tape recorders. The term was adopted by WFMU DJ William Berger who dedicated a half hour segment of his program to home recorded music throughout the late '80s under the name lo-fi.
Lo-fi's roots can be dated as far back as a set of live cylinder recordings created in 1900–04 by Lionel Mapleson from a catwalk 40 ft (12 m) above the stage of the Metropolitan Opera. The sound quality of these "Mapleson Cylinders" is very poor (more so since they are one-of-a-kind artifacts that have been further worn down by being played over the last century); the aesthetic quality, though, partakes in the electric, authentic feeling of an unedited event being captured in real time.[citation needed] In the same historical period, commercial field recordings of folk music had begun to be created in many nations of the world, recorded catch-as-catch-can by early record producers such as Fred Gaisberg of HMV. The description of "lo-fi", however, would be slightly amiss, since the recordists used the best available equipment of the era in order to capture and reproduce the sound as faithfully as possible. With technology being what it was however, the resulting recordings would be considered quite crude, or "low-fidelity", by today's standards.

You could be all that you want to,
But you can't make someone want you,
You try your best if you want to,
But you can't change her mind even if you like to.

So long hidden it for too long
But I think you should tell us
Don't you think we've noticed
Promise tell me no fuzz
It's one thing, none of our business
But we saw who you were kissing
We just want you to be straight up between
Though its hard to tell
chorus:
Steppin out is hard to do it
You are young it's already enough
Steppin out it's hard to get trough it
When things already are so tough
Step
Be strong
Oh brother, we stand behind you
We're gonna defend your pride now
We're standing right beside you
Now don't you worry about those fools
It's one thing none of them business

Though its hard to
tired of living this country life, its time to move up
from the south
it seemed to have something for us, but now it's time to
hit the bus
60 miles of where its at to finally get things back on
track
so cmon boy, just take us home
to the city, that's where we belong
things have changed but still the same, like bars and
crowds with different names
24 hour grocery stores where the kids hang out just like
before
is this the place that we are sure could be Paris, London
of Tokyo
boy it's great to be back home, the city that's where we
belong
boy it's great to be back home, the city that's where we
belong
the city that's where we belong
we need excitement from a change but that doesn't mean
that we will stay
the beginning feels like oh so great, but soon it turns
to just okay
see, I've known this place for much too long, I'm always
one to be moving on
but still it's great to be back home, the city that's
laying on the floor listening to your records
thinking how I met ya, stayed around for so long
and oh-I'm-glad, the time we had
it really helped me out and I hope that you ain't got it
I had a feeling about you and it's all we know
you got me feeling high, you kept me from the low
and it was just what I was looking for
you don't always need somebody to adore
I wanna thank you for the day, I had the best of times
but you know that I can't stay, I gotta leave it behind
you brought me just what I was looking for
you don't always need somebody to adore
it was sheer perfection when you gave me your affection
so carefully we touched, and the music filled us up
and when it don't last long it can't go wrong
so I treasured it inside of me to keep it staying strong
I had a feeling about you and it's all we know
you got me feeling high, you kept me from the low
and it was just what I was looking for
you don't always need somebody to adore
I wanna thank you for the day, I had the best of times
but you know that I can't stay, I gotta leave it behind
you brought me just what I was looking for

Sleeping in a single bed
Can't remember the last time
You laid down face to face
I want breath of kissing taste
It was so long ago since the last time
You had a warm embrace
Felt skin and a kissing taste
Will I ever feel like the last time?
You don't want them to make you cry
But tell me what would be better now?
Your friends tell you you're so uptight
You don't agree but they must be right
See, can't remember the last time you lay down...
...face to face
A wonderful kissing taste
It was so long ago since the last time
You had a warm embrace
Felt skin and a kissing taste
Will you ever feel like the last time
You don't want them to make you cry
But tell me what would be better now
Maybe you could have a try
The moment's right, we can try
Remember the last time...
...You lay down face to face
A wonderful kissing taste
It was so long ago since the last time
We had a warm embrace
Felt skin and a kissing taste
I want to sleep cause sleeping eyes
But want to keep the sun well i
The sun is gone today.
I m sleepless
Oohh i m sleepless
Ohh i m sleepless
Ohh i m sleepless
I know this is a last good bye
And can t .to .
Oohh i m sleepless
Ohh i m sleepless

So hold on to your heart
It hits you so hard
Don't look back keep on
And embrace what's to come
Watch out - here it - comes marchin' In
Watch out - here it - comes marchin' In

Watch out - here it - comes marchin' In
So go with open arms
Take it as it comes
You need to take part
Could be a new start.
