History [link]

Beginnings and early singles [link]

Robbie Furze and Milo Cordell started making music as The Big Pink in 2007, taking their name from the debut album by The Band.^[3] Furze used to play guitar for Alec Empire and run the record label Hate Channel with Cordell. Cordell (son of Denny Cordell and brother of Tarka Cordell) had also been releasing records through his own label Merok Records, which featured early noise rock releases by Klaxons, Titus Andronicus, and Crystal Castles.^[4] After joining forces in mid-2007, the band issued their first single "Too Young to Love" on 7" vinyl in October 2008 on the House Anxiety label.^[5] The single was limited to 500 copies worldwide,^[5] and features a homoerotic photograph by Dennis Cooper as its cover. Similarly, a limited edition 12" single for "Too Young to Love" released only in Japan features more of Cooper's photography as its cover.

The Big Pink signed with British record label 4AD in February 2009.^[6] On 25 February 2009, The Big Pink won the prestigious Philip Hall Radar Award for best new act at the NME Shockwave Awards.^[1] The duo were presented the award by James Allan and Caroline McKay of Glasvegas, who had won the award in 2008. In April, 4AD issued the duo's first single for the label, "Velvet," which Pitchfork Media described as "undeniably immense, but it's a tribute to the Big Pink's skill and maturity that it still manages to sound intimate", and awarded the track a 7 out of 10 rating.^[7] The single was again produced by the band and mixed by Alan Moulder. A 7-minute remix of "Velvet" by Gang Gang Dance followed as an online-streaming single.^[8] The Big Pink provided a cover of "Lovesong" for The Cure tribute album Pictures of You: A Tribute to Godlike Geniuses The Cure, which was made available with the 25 February 2009 issue of NME.^[9] Following the releases, the duo opened for TV on the Radio in Europe before embarking on their first headlining UK tour.^[10] A second single on 4AD, the non-album track "Stop the World", was released as a limited edition 7" single on 29 June 2009.^[11] It was co-produced with Paul Epworth.

[edit] A Brief History of Love

The Big Pink's debut album A Brief History of Love was released on 14 September 2009,^[2]^[10] the fourth single "Dominos" having been released a week before.^[12] The band produced the album themselves at Electric Lady Studios in New York City, and it was mixed by Rich Costey.^[13] Cordell told BBC 6 Music that the album encompasses "every different aspect of love... The good, the bad, the boring, the exciting, the dreams, the nightmares, the whole thing."^[14] Nationwide tours of Europe, Japan, and the United States occurred August through the end of 2009,^[15] with dates in Australia^[16] and a second North American tour set for spring 2010.^[17] They also supported Muse on their UK arena tour in November,^[18] and in turn, provided a remix of Muse's song "Undisclosed Desires," which was made available on the single released on 16 November 2009.^[19] On 24 February 2010, "Dominos" won Best Track at the NME Awards.^[20] The Big Pink appeared at the 2010 Coachella Festival in April^[21]^[22] and once again opened for Muse at London's Wembley Stadium on 10 September 2010.^[23]

[edit] Future This

In an interview with NME, Robbie Furze noted a strong hip-hop influence for the recording of the band's second album. However, he later retracted this statement regarding the band's musical direction in a further NME interview in October 2011 in which he wishes he hadn't made such a claim. He also stated that the band has approached Nick Launay and Dave Fridmann as possible producers, and added "I think we've got our heart set on Alan Moulder to mix it."^[24] The first single "Stay Gold" which came out in October 2011,^[25] and was featured in SSX.

The band's second album Future This was released in January 2012,^[26] first single "Stay Gold" which was released on 11 October.^[27] One of the songs "Lose Your Mind" started with a sample of the single "Happy House" by Siouxsie and the Banshees to get a certain vibe.^[28]^[29] ^[30] The second single "Hit the Ground (Superman)" was based on a track by another act, Laurie Anderson.^[30]

US Bancorp Tower is the second tallest skyscraper in Portland, Oregon. It stands at 163.38 m (536.0 ft) with 42 floors. The building has nearly 69,000 m² (740,000 sq ft) of office space inside, making it the largest office building in Oregon in terms of volume, and the second tallest building in Oregon, with only the Wells Fargo Center exceeding its height.

Design [link]

Designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill (SOM) with Pietro Belluschi as a consultant. The tower opened in 1983 with construction costs of $128 million.^[4] At first the building served as the national headquarters of U.S. Bancorp, and was the regional headquarters of that organization until a 1997 merger moved the corporate offices to Minneapolis, Minnesota. U.S. Bancorp has 480,000 square feet (45,000 m²) leased until 2015.

Perhaps the most unusual features of the building are its shape and color. Pietro Belluschi was most concerned about the play of light and shadows on its surface; meanwhile, the SOM team had to work with a uniquely shaped lot due to the street grid. The meshing of these two concerns led to what has been called Portland's most dynamic building.^{[citation needed]} Because of the street grid, the tower features no right angles in its parallelogram footprint. This, in turn, makes it look either extremely slender or wide depending upon your viewing angle. Belluschi carefully selected the glass and granite for the exterior facing. The windows can absorb or reflect light depending upon how much light is upon them, while the surrounding granite may appear darker or lighter than the window pieces depending upon the time of day. The building can be described as being pink, orange, purple, or even gray all in the same day. The unusual pinkish color earned the building the nickname "Big Pink", after an album by The Band.^[5]

During the 1980s and 1990s, the top floors held the headquarters of Louisiana-Pacific.

Since a $4 million renovation in 2002, the 30th floor of the tower has been occupied by the Portland City Grill, Portland's top-grossing restaurant.^[6] It is often cited as the restaurant with the best view in Portland.^[7]

The building was purchased by JPMorgan Asset Management in August 2006 for a price of $286 million.^[8] It was previously owned by Unico who purchased it in 2000 for a price of $165 million. Currently, 92% of the building is occupied.

On September 9, 2008, LaSalle Investment Management entered a purchase partnership with Unico Properties for $285 million to acquire the building.

Top Big Pink, Velvet

Seen it in my head, burning my heart
Seen it in my past, back in my home
Doesn't make sense, see her again
I don't, know
I felt it for some time, ever not at all
Poison in my head, gun love hurts
I'm not looking for love, but it's hard to resist
I don't recall, me and mistakes
She's the only one, that's the best I've had
I found her in a dream, looking for me
This heart's on fire, I'll bring myself
Up to the force, down again
These arms are mine
Don't matter who they hold
So should I maybe, Just leave love alone
You call out my name, for the love you need
Which you won't find in me
These arms are mine
Don't matter who they hold
You're made for me, and I'll leave love alone
You call out my name for the love you need
Which you won't find in me
Seen it in my head, burning my heart
I found her in a dream, looking for me
Doesn't make sense, see her again
I don't, know
I can see the end, of what I've become
A tale of a love, come and gone
But now my love, no promises

Top Big Pink, Too Young To Love

Once, now and then and never again
Once, now and then and never again
All night we turn and turn
It makes sense to turn again
All night we turn and turn
Innocence, too young to love
Alone
Once, now and then and never again [x4]
Break
Once, now and then and never again
Once, now and then and never again
All night we turn and turn
It makes sense to turn again
All night we turn and turn
Innocence, too young to love
Alone
Alone alone alone
And you're too young to love
And you're too young to love
Once, now and then and never again
Once, now and then and never again
All night we turn and turn
It makes sense to turn again
All night we turn and turn
In a sense too young to love

Top Big Pink, Tonight

Tonight
You take of part of my life
Only lovers are left alive
Only lovers are on my side
Wasted days and wasted nights
Cause my dreams to slowly die
Stand by me
Stand by my side
Change you love and make it mine
With your arms around me
I'm satisfied
Take me to your music
I'll come inside
Tonight
You take a part of my life
Take that trip
Forget the world
Find those girls all made of gold
I've done a lot of things I know are wrong
So please forgive me
Before I'm gone
Tonight

Top Big Pink, Sweet Dreams

Turn the lights on
Every night I rush to my bed
With hopes that maybe I'll get a chance to see you
When I close my eyes I'm going out of my head
Lost in a fairytale, can you hold my hands and be my guide?
Clouds filled with stars cover the skies
And I hope it rains, you're the perfect lullaby
What kinda dream is this?
You could be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I don't wanna wake up from you
(Turn the lights on)
Sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Somebody pinch me, your love's too good to be true
(Turn the lights on)
My guilty pleasure, I ain't going no where
Baby long as you're here I'll be floating on air
'Cause you're my
You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I don't wanna wake up from you
(Turn the lights on)
I mention you when I say my prayers
I wrap you around all of my thoughts
Boy you're my temporary high
I wish that when I wake up you're there
To wrap your arms around me for real
And tell me you'll stay by side
Clouds filled with stars cover the skies
And I hope it rains, you're the perfect lullaby
What kinda dream is this?
You could be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I don't wanna wake up from you
(Turn the lights on)
Tattoo your name across my heart so it will remain
Not even death can make us part
What kind of dream is this?
You could be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I don't wanna wake up from you
(Turn the lights on)
Sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Somebody pinch me, your love's too good to be true
(Turn the lights on)
My guilty pleasure, I ain't going no where
Baby long as you're here I'll be floating on air
'Cause you're my
You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I don't wanna wake up from you
(Turn the lights on)

Top Big Pink, Stop The World

Obsessed
With the shades of a ghost face
They don't belong here
We set them free
Obsessed
With the feeling you held
I'll meet you down there
Send us to sleep
[chorus]
To dream alone
Stop the world
For as long as we want
To love, to hold
To stop the world
Forever we'll sing along
Loveless
I suggest you go there
To magnetic zero
The world as you want it
Loveless
I'm afraid to kiss again
We dream to remember
Send us to sleep
[chorus]
Stop the world
Stop the world

Top Big Pink, Stay Gold

A time to love, a time to fly
And beat the darkness into light
We'll write our names across the town
Up is up and so is down
Forgive your lovers, but don't forget their names
And let their spirit remain
Stay gold (gold)
Shut the lights, for the rest to follow
Gold
Shut the lights, for the rest to follow
GOld
Shut the lights, for the rest to follow
This... just won't go
Come let the...
Forgive your lovers, but don't forget their names
And let their spirit remain
Stay gold (gold)
Shut the lights, for the rest to follow
Gold
Shut the lights, for the rest to follow
GOld
Shut the lights, for the rest to follow
How fast the darkness, we disappear into the light
Follow the dark...
In the end will be a better...
And now I know I will not be saved
Unless I follow
And now I know I will not be saved
Unless I follow
Stay gold (gold)
Shut the lights, for the rest to follow
Gold
Shut the lights, for the rest to follow
GOld
Shut the lights, for the rest to follow
If you leave I will follow
Stay gold (gold)

Top Big Pink, Love Song

Top Big Pink, LOVE IN VAIN

If you really love him then tell me that you love him again
And you won't mind when
I suggest you go
Then you said to keep calm
And we won't tell a soul
And you really must do this
So we'll never be alone
I won't treat you wrong
And at least in love
The hearts won't be apart for too long
So don't say it again
If you really love him then tell me that you love him again and go
I can see your love changing hands before too long
If you really love him then tell me that you love him again and go
If you really love him then tell me that you love him again
I let go of your hand and you suggest I go
And with that I was gone
And after all that was said
Was it meaningless
When you danced with me
To "walkin' in the sand"?
And I'd like you to know
That my love is love that you can be sure of
So tell me now and I won't ask again
If you really love him then tell me that you love him again and go
I can see your love changing hands before too long
If you really love him then tell me that you love him again and go

Top Big Pink, Lose Your Mind

I owe it to me, now yesterday's gone
Doing it on my own
I know I'm unique, wear my scars with pride
Doing it all alone
I wanna be great, I wanna be adored
Doing it on my own
Chameleons change, our true colors are too strong
Doing it all alone
The tall world is falling down, now there's nothing lost
I know what I've got, my lights aren't crossed
Naked before I
Lose your mind
Doing it for the love
Lose your mind
Doing it on my own
The future's fine
Doing it all alone
Lose your mind
Doing it for the love
I had a taste, now what I want is more
Doing it on my own
I wanna leave an impression when I'm gone
Doing it all alone
In the back rooms, in the basements
The love or hate is wasted
Over water, the four quarters
Naked before I
Lose your mind
Doing it for the love
Lose your mind
Doing it on my own
The future's fine
Doing it all alone
Lose your mind
Doing it for the love
I owe it to me, now yesterday's gone
Doing it on my own
I know I'm unique, I'll wear these scars with pride
Doing it all alone
Doing it on my own
Doing it all alone
Doing it on my own

Top Big Pink, Hit the Ground

Fly at the speed of sound
And in the night was heading out
I call you now
We need em streets to move all around.
Leave everyone behind
Leave...
We need our friends
With plastic bags full of cans
Chorus:
Look where it goes we don't make a sound
Feel you're all full of...
Oh Superman
I don't wanna hit the ground
I don't wanna hit the ground
I don't wanna hit the ground
Oh Superman
Oh Supermanoh oh!
Feel the guilt when the light pulls in fast
Most of the days are gone in the hours bells
Not a fighting chance
Call me... of the future
... with the single bells
I'mma laugh out loud
Chorus:
Look where it goes we don't make a sound
Feel you're all full of...
Oh Superman
I don't wanna hit the ground
I don't wanna hit the ground
I don't wanna hit the ground
Oh Superman
Oh Superman oh oh!
I don't wanna hit the ground
I don't wanna hit the ground
I don't wanna hit the ground
Oh Superman
Oh Superman oh oh!
I don't ever wanna stop you cannot...
You can touch me when I drop
And stop me falling
Is this ever gonna stop?
Can you catch me when I drop?
I know there'll never be no Superman
Chorus:
Look where it goes we don't make a sound
Feel you're all full of...
But if I fall off this ground
If I fall off oh Superman
Oh Superman
I don't wanna hit the ground
I don't wanna hit the ground
I don't wanna hit the ground
Oh Superman
Oh Superman oh oh!
I don't wanna hit the ground
I don't wanna hit the ground
Oh Superman

Top Big Pink, Golden Pendulum

We all live
Somewhere near nowhere
On dusty roads there
All soft and free
You said I feel no pain
Where are you going
With number nothing
Unnaturally
It's the feeling that you can't be lost
It's another that you can't explain
It pulls on strings like falling in love
Instant love, instant love
Only you asked to go lower
And don't you just know it
Dead fingers falls
A star fades out of my heart
But you laughed and just rolled and rolled over
Everything slowly goes
You said you knew and that's what you wanted
If time gone is history
Then this is a victory
A victory worth losing for you
And all you need
It's the feeling that you can't be lost
It's another that you can't explain
It pulls on strings like falling in love
Instant love, instant love
You said I feel no pain
Where are you going
With the number three
A star fades out of my heart
But you laughed and just rolled and rolled over
Everything slowly goes
You said you knew and that's what you wanted
If time gone is history
Then this is a victory
A victory worth losing for you

Top Big Pink, Future This

Believe in love
Calling my heart
Time will come
To give all we lost
Future this, extend your range
Stand up and then change your name
Choose your fix when attraction's gone
Make your mark when the waters run
Hidden ants in a vocal sun
Girls in soft explosion
Head out in the gold crush
Feel the warmth and you'll know it's us
Time will come
To give all we lost
I see now what you've always known
All hearts break when the light has faded
Love runs faster than time
I see now what you've always known
All you wanted was what I needed
Love runs faster than time
Voices play out my creed
22 eyes stare back at me
Luminate an astroplane
Send us back from where we came
All these float in front of me
Like purple leaves on golden trees
Bend as I look the through the frame
In a crooked hook in a concrete wave
Believe in love
Calling my heart
Time will come
To give all we lost
I see now what you've always known
All hearts break when the light has faded
Love runs faster than time
I see now what you've always known
All you wanted was what I needed
Love runs faster than time

Top Big Pink, Frisk

Oh-oh-oh
I'll burn the maps
And feel the people all lost inside you
Stamp your feet if you know where you're from.
Love's a rose in the snow
You turn around to the wind
Fill your pockets full of stones and walk upstream
It's not making sense
Freak out again
These tears are real
And lurk in shadows of paradise
[chorus]
If this is love
Then I might just leave it
Inhale, I'll give you what you want
If this is love
You forget to answer
The day of my birth
My death began its walk
Am I in love
Alone in a cruel world
But this time I know you're on your own
The machine watches over this unfortunate boy
A monument for forever
Versus me and you
Cupid's whore stole the arrows of time
A perfect mirror would do well
Reflecting further than you
Forget love
I wanna die asleep in your arms
Do you dream of me as much as I do of you?
[chorus]
Am I in love
Alone in a cruel world

Top Big Pink, Dominos

These girls fall like dominos, dominos [repeat]
As soon as I love her it's been too long
Talks of future with you caves me in
Swallow my sugar kiss and eat it alone
Hearts collide, smash any dreams of love.
These girls fall like dominos, dominos [repeat]
Three words we shared said too early on
Start with forever to the point of tears
Swimming with a fear where we slowly drown
Ending at never arching melody
As soon as I love her it's been too long
And I really love breaking your heart
These silver apples will shine on, I was wrong
The hottest love has the coldest end.
These girls fall like dominos, dominos

Top Big Pink, Crystal Visions

She held lightening in her hand
It's been cornered by the man
I pretend no answering riot
As we hid it on the hill we ran
Fuel the mission
With our passion
Fighting still we ran
Do you know the way
To the silver colored road
By the city that's run dry
On a sequin covered horse
And they'll wait for us to arrive
Two hundred naked pure gold girls
And then we'll sit and watch them ride
Made of crystals in the sand
If you want a taste you can
In the city where the people are alone
She held lightening in her hand
It's been cornered by the man
I pretend no answering riot
As we hid it on the hill we ran
Fuel the mission
With our passion
Fighting still we ran
Do you know the way
To the silver colored road
By the city that's run dry
On a sequin covered horse
And they'll wait for us to arrive
Two hundred naked pure gold girls
And then we'll sit and watch them ride
Do you know the way
To the silver colored road
By the city that's run dry
On a sequin covered horse
And they'll wait for us to arrive
Two hundred naked pure gold girls

Top Big Pink, Countbackwards From Ten

I've seen it all and I said
She's calling out to us all
And I ache
She did not know it belonged to me
And we could fall into each others arms and severed clean
Oh where to lean
Now, it's something that I could've asked for
Apparently
We're not alone
And I don't know what I saw
And I hope that no one saw
Stand by my side
Better off dead [x3]
You seem a little low again
I'm ready to leave again
Seem a little
And eyes start to roll
I reveal [x2]
To see that little glow again
I'm ready to leave again
Seem a little low
And the wheels start to roll
I reveal [x2]
To see that little glow
I've seen all that's there
And I seen it all and I said
It's calling out to all and I ache
She did not know it belonged to me
And it was something that I couldn't ask for [x2]
Better off dead [x2]
Seem a little low again
I reveal
Seem a little glow again
To see that little glow again
Seem a little low
And the wheels start to roll
I reveal
I rebel
To see that little glow again
Seem a little low
And eyes start to glow

Top Big Pink, At War With The Sun

Up for too long
At war with the sun
A crown of stars that we all wish upon
And you whisper to me
Are we out of time
And if so then don't let go.
Show me where teardrops run
Ragged bloom we all let loose on
Hands disappear, pull you close
Shoot out lights for all our pleasures
[chorus]
Young hearts know nothing but say it all
Celebrate no control
But is it enough to realize your love
And miss us when we're gone.
Live for the words
That we've sung
And don't let go
No one hears 'cause no one cares
Until we fall over the edge
Surrender your thoughts
The odd ones out
And I said we'd meet tonight
Into the dark, and out of this world
Blow a kiss and burn it down
Together we'll live, turn to dust
Through the smoke and into the sun
[chorus]
To feel it
See it
On it
I'm on it

Top Big Pink, A Brief History Of Love

This time I'll leave you as the one that you love
The taste of your lips and the true meaning of love
Your beautiful smile all bent out of shape
Is this the road to heaven that you wanted to take?
Come on baby don't you want to feel love?
Have I left you too long waiting for the feeling to come?
Another kind of lover holds my baby today
Crush the tissue to break the fall
Let's get lost and feel warm tonight
Hit by another and feeling it's right
It's all over tonight
It's all over tonight
It's all over tonight
As you leave me
It's up to you to lend me your heart, but you won't let go
And as you leave me
You're in my heart I feel true love and it won't let go
It's up to you to mend my heart, please don't let go
I've seen the lights of this city go out at night
Instant living rarely works out right
You never turned down what you wanted to be
It's a kind of magic that you can't help but feel
I dreamt we were sleeping and we floated away
And we shone like a star and we blinded who stared
We listen to the heavens at the silence above
Never ask the devil to help the one that you love
You said to me baby that you want to feel love
Babe we gave it our all but it's never enough
It's all over tonight
It's all over tonight
It's all over tonight
As you leave me
It's up to you to lend me your heart, but you won't let it go
And as you leave me
You're in my heart I feel true love and it wont let go
It's up to you to mend my heart, please don't let go
It's over
It's over
It's over

Top Big Pink, 1313

Convey your thoughts, translate them well
Say those words on baited breath
I'd asked to go, i'd asked to go
Obey the form, choose it well
Cross the line to a personal hell
I'd asked to go, I'd asked to go
To a man like me, to a man like me
Words are far too kind
To a man like me, to a man like me
There's something missing
I will stop at nothing
I will be loved or die trying
I've been waking up just to sleep again, to sleep again
I will stop at nothing
I will be loved or die trying
I've been waking up just to sleep again, to sleep again
Cry those tears and hide them well
Say those words on a sharpened breath
I'd asked to go, I'd asked to go
Alll my friends don't care at all
After all these years they're dead and gone
I'd asked to go, I'd asked to go
To men like us, to men like us
Words are far too kind
To men like us, to men like us
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
I will stop at nothing
I will be loved or die trying
I've been waking up just to sleep again, to sleep again
I will stop at nothing
I will be loved or die trying
I've been waking up just to sleep again, to sleep again
I will stop at nothing
I will be loved or die trying
