Warmth

Such a situation where it seems that you want to scream, but the words get stuck in your throat. When you want to go, but you sit down because your head is spinning from memories and the uncertainty of the future. Most of the time, the transition to a new stage is accompanied by some pain.

The sea cannot always be rough, just like life, it calms down, the sun comes out again and here comes the WARMTH.

New song and video "Šiluma" (Warmth). This Friday, October 21.

Time For Changes

We are leaving. Changes always lead to interesting things. We became independent musicians. What does this mean? We will be operating without Lithuanian management at this time. This is not new to us and it is not a spontaneous decision. We realized that three members of the group can cover all the work (at least for the time being). We are currently working on Lithuanian songs, and we will present one of them on October 21. Event organizers are welcome to contact us directly at info@theroop.com

Friendship

We value our friendship. Realizing that we are all different, we try to accept it.

Vaidotas: I experienced it myself and realized that...

👉You won't achieve anything new by being afraid to leave your comfort zone. Comfort (especially long term) is a dream killer.

👉The most important pleasure lies in the process, on the way to the goal, not the goal itself. If you don't know how to enjoy every small step or even difficulty, you won't reach your goal. Or even after achieving it, you will still feel unhappy.

👉Various crises can not only destroy what is important to you, but at the same time it opens up many new, previously unthinkable opportunities.

👉Disrespecting yourself, being silent when you want to scream and say that it's not right for you - you won't go far in peace.

👉A person does not grow old when a mathematical number increases, but when he/she does not want to learn, understand new things, when his/her enthusiasm disappears.

👉You should not be afraid of your attractiveness (physical appearance). Yes, you read that right. Especially that fear ("after all, only the amount of knowledge is important") manifests itself in really intelligent people who have written off simple physicality to the lowest level, because it has no meaning. It has. Of course, I'm not talking about extreme overexposure.

👉It's ​​normal to make mistakes. It's not how many times you fall, but how many times you get up.

"Multiply" Music Video Out Now

"The Roop" premiere: our drummer sings! And in the "Multiply" video clip, we put images of behind-the-scenes, trips and concerts that took place during the year. We share our light and positivity.

In addition to our native country of Lithuania, we presented our musical program to the audiences of Italy, Germany, Poland, Great Britain, Spain, Latvia and Estonia.

Have a good vibe!

#10 "Multiply" Story

Let’s talk about the 10th song from our album “Concrete Flower”. This is the first song to feature another member of the band singing. Robertas, who usually sits behind the drumset or records a bass part, now picks up the microphone.
Robertas starts the song and later he is joined by Vaidotas - we really like this duet ourselves.

We recall the moment when Robertas sent over his demo vocals part. At first the line “One-body-da-ooooh” seemed to have some strange resemblance to a Lithuanian folk motif “Ram-ta-drylia-opapa”.
Hours later Vaidotas and Mantas found the part still stuck in their heads, so it was decided to leave it the way it was. The song concludes the album inviting everyone to share light.

#inspiredbytheroop

Did you know that in the "Concrete Flower" CD booklet you will find not only stories about each song, photos, but also started drawings that we invite you to finish yourself! Free your imagination and share with #inspiredbytheroop hashtag.

Now we share our own drawings. As you can see, these do not necessarily have to be gallery-worthy works. It's not about that. The most important thing is the feeling and the pleasure of drawing.

What do we do every day?

It may seem that the life of musicians is only concerts, trips, photoshoots, parties. Unfortunately, not only.

A lot of the time we just sit, write, search and record. Very often we erase everything and start again. And so day after day.

For several days now, Vaidotas realized, we haven't posted anything. But is there anything to post here? We thought there was. This is our reality. We have captured at least the last 3 days.

We often sit at home and send each other ideas, share moods through photos. And those moods are different.

Concerts and public participation make up about 1% of our activity. 99% of work is invisible to public eyes, but it is that work which brings that percentage of success.

#9 "Every Second" Story

About the 9th song from our new album “Concrete Flower”. The song “Every Second” is like a sequel to “On Fire” where we boldly state that even if others say that we are out of date or in a situation of doom and gloom, we will still go our way. We heard many different opinions about us, but they were not justified. Of course, it required great confidence in our ideas and inner strength not to give in to the influence of others. That’s why we wish to inspire our listeners not to lose their way and not to wait until someone gives you the right to live. Live your life to the fullest here and now, every minute, every second.
P.S. Don’t forget to have fun and sometimes to be funny.

We Are Coming To Gdansk (PL)!

On September 2, we are coming to the Polish city of Gdansk! 🇵🇱 For the first time, we appeared on the stage of "Wilno w Gdansku" in 2016. We had only recently started THE ROOP's concert activities. We remember that even then we received a very warm welcome.

We are coming back after 6 years with our hearts full of the best feelings. Such cultural exchange events enrich not only the audience but also the participants. Everyone gets new impressions, gets a better feel about the country, broadens the perception of a more diverse world.

Our concerts are not only about playing our setlist, but more about getting to know the audience and finding common ground. We are still surprised when people in different countries know our songs and sing along. It is an amazing feeling.

A great desire is to continue creating and performing music that connects people from different countries. To talk about unity through music.

The best concerts are when you come without any preconceived notions. Expect nothing, wait for nothing, just come and be together in the moment. Ok, of course we will also perform our most famous songs like "On Fire" and "Discoteque". That's all we'll say. This is an invitation!
