Notes
"Out of My Mind" was renamed "Outta My Heart" in the UK.
The song is based on a poem written by Patrick Currier, which is a letter to his imaginary future daughter, called Aurora, who is confronted with the end of the world. He imagines speaking to her and soothing her, despite the fact that the skies are filled with exploding bombs and the world is being torn apart. He tries to put it across that the explosions are just a lightshow for her, like the Northern Lights, her namesake.
Music video
The video was filmed in a field in Surrey on a cold night. The idea behind it is that the band are trying to put the sun back in the sky.

Velocifero is the fourth studio album by English electronic band Ladytron and their first to be released by Nettwerk. The album was made available on the iTunes Store as of 19 May 2008, followed by a physical release on 2 June in the United Kingdom and on 3 June elsewhere. Velocifero peaked at number seventy-five on the UK Albums Chart, becoming the band's second highest-charting album to date in the UK (after Gravity the Seducer reached number seventy-two in 2011). It was also their first album to chart on the US Billboard 200, reaching number 131.
According to band member Reuben Wu, "velocifero" literally means "bringer of speed", and is also the name of a classic retro-styled scooter. "Black Cat" and "Kletva" are both sung entirely in Bulgarian. "Kletva" (which means "oath") is a cover of a song from a solo album by Kiril Marichkov of Bulgarian rock band Shturtzite. Daniel Hunt provided additional vocals on "Versus".
Velocifero produced three singles: "Ghosts", "Runaway" and "Tomorrow".
Runaway is the story of a young boy who takes to the streets to get away from the torment he suffers at school and daily problems at home. Life at home is rife with daily doses of scoldings from his half-drunk mother, and his two younger brothers Dean and Jack pay him scant attention until noticing he is missing. On his journey, Sean meets a girl named Molly who takes him to a crumbling mill where her family lives. The series follows the police search for Sean, and how his disappearance affects his family.
Runaways was part of a short season on CBBC about children and homelessness, along with a 5-part documentary "Sofa Surfers". The program was first shown as three separated half-hour episodes in March 2009, and later as an 82-minute film.
When you're awake the things you think Come from the dream you dream Thought has wings, and lots of things Are seldom what they seem Sometimes you think you've lived before All that you live today Things you do come back to you As though they knew the way Oh the tricks your mind can play It seems we stood and talked like this, before We looked at each other in the same way then But I can't remember where or when The clothes you are wearing are the clothes you wore The smile you are smiling you were smiling then But I can't remember where or when Some things that happened for the first time Seem to be happening again And so it seems that we have met before And laughed before, and loved before
