Nagano Video

Koop is Oscar Simonsson & Magnus Zingmark. When listening to Koops music it's somehow easy to believe that it's played by a small orchestra, but in fact the music is based on samples. Thousands of small clips from records puzzled together into new songs. All the drums, strings, horn sections and choires are actually sampled! This is a very time consuming way to make music (it's one of the reasons it takes such long time to make a koop album), but it's the only way to create the surreal Koop sound. One thing though, that for sure aren't sampled, is the vocals. Many singers has blessed the Koop albums with their talent, and on Koop Islands the singers are : Ane Brun, Yukimi Nagano, Hilde Louise Asbjornsen, Rob Gallagher and Mikael Sundin. Come to me is sung by Yukimi Nagano and is taken from the album "Koop Islands". Marcus Söderlund directed the video in Stockholm. Lyrics: Baby, I've been waiting for you Don't run away now You've got nothing to lose Baby, I feel so alone And I need someone To call my own 'Cause my love has just left me And I need someone new Who can tell me forever And my eyes are on you Baby, oh baby, oh baby Come to me Baby, I've been waiting on you Don't run away now You've got nothing to lose Maybe, I feel so alone And I need someone To call my own 'Cause my love has just left me And I need someone new Who can tell me forever And my eyes are on you. Baby, oh baby, oh baby Come to me
