THE ROOP Releases New Song “Ohmygodable”
Lithuanian pop-rock band THE ROOP, consistingof Vaidotas Valiukevičius, Robertas Baranauskas and Mantas Banišauskas, released a new song “Ohmygodable” with an accompanying music video on November 26, 2021.
The song follows up “Discoteque”, which was released back in January.
It was written in the woods of Aukštaitija national park Lithuania, in wooden cabins, where “The Roop” had their musical workshop.
“I always return there to finish songs - far from civilization and city tempo,” Vaidotas Valiukevičius said of the song. “The name of the song is a new, rarely encounterable word, defining a person or a phenomenon if you see which you would say: 'Oh My God'!”
The Saulius Baradinskas-directed the music video was inspired by a Greek myth of Pygmalion, who fell in love with a sculpture he had carved.- Vaidotas Valiukevičius explained of the video, “I think that the myth of Pygmalion is particularly relevant today, because we live in the age of social networks, within which we create our own social network 'sculptures', wishing to be liked, accepted and significant. It is human. Probably every one of us has a bit of Pygmalion's characteristics, – tells S. Baradinskas. – The whole music video is like a separate myth of a divine dream that occurs in the world of famous works of art. I wish that in this music video of ours the viewer discovers those art pieces and experiences our myth, like a single beautiful dream, together.”
He adde, “In this clip the viewer wanders through world famous artworks which are interpreted in a contemporary context. I believe the music video really turned out ohmygodable” - source : Apple Music
