Johan Bové

Probably the most anthemy Drum 'n Bass song in a long time. The lyrics, the drops, that piano, it's perfect. And it was made in 2012!!

Amazing composition and rhythm!

Goosebumps every single time I hear this.

Whishing I could play guitar like that...

Thought this was a fun Japanese tune to start the weekend with: https://www.deezer.com/en/album/325640617

Pepper - アメリカのなんでやねん

or what seems to translate to "American Why Not?"

Of course also on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@pepper_osaka

Love the arrangements in the chorus in this mesmerizing song!

Not sure how many times I can like an amazing song, but here goes another one

There is a party in my head right now. Cannot believe this song is already nine years old. Drum & Bass truly is forever. What an unbelievably powerful call for being free and independency this anthem is.

Lyrics

Ad I'm letting go
This is the one you'll never know
Just letting go
For all those times I was alone
Never know what you want when it's there
Now that it's gone, you say that you care
But no way, no way
You promised it all but you gave me hell
Gone are the sirens that used to play in my head, in my head
I've got to be alone
Alone I need to be alone
Alone I try to run but I'm always found
Cover my ears not to hear the sound but you're always there
I lose my mind when it gets too loud
You turn it up when I'm wanting it all just in the background
And if I could I'd cover my eyes
It's like a dream
My hands don't work and I don't know why
And so I move these lips of mine
Because it's time to say goodbye, baby you should know
It's time to say goodbye, baby you should know
I'm letting go
This is the one you'll never know
Just letting go
For all those times I was alone
I never know what you want when it's there
Now that it's gone you say that you care
But no way, no way
You promised it all but you gave me hell
Gone are the sirens that used to play in my head, in my head
I've got to be alone
I need to be alone
It's time to say goodbye, baby you should know
I'm letting go
This is the one you'll never know
Just letting go
For all those times I was alone
I never know what you want when it's there
Now that it's gone you say that you care
But no way, no way
You promised it all but you gave me hell
Gone are the sirens that used to play in my head, in my head
I've got to be alone
I need to be alone

I have fond memories of my first CD with synthesizer songs and this is one of my all-time favourite tunes.

Jan Hammer's history as a composer is also worth the read.

Weird and original!

Great cover of the Tears For Fears song by Scandroid

Shout, shout, let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you, come on
Shout, shout, let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you, come on

In violent times, you shouldn't have to sell your soul
In black and white, they really, really ought to know
Those one-track minds that took you for a working boy
Kiss them goodbye, you shouldn't have to jump for joy
You shouldn't have to jump for joy

Shout, shout, let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you, come on

They gave you life and in return, you gave them hell
As cold as ice, I hope we live to tell the tale
I hope we live to tell the tale

Shout, shout, let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you
Come on
Shout, shout, let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you
Come on

Shout, shout, let it all out
(Let it all out)
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you
Come on

And when you've taken down your guard
If I could change your mind
I'd really love to break your heart
I'd really love to break your heart

Shout, shout, let it all out
These are the things I can do without
(Break your heart)
Come on
(Really love to break your heart)
I'm talking to you
Come on
Shout, shout, let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you
So come on

Shout, shout, let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you
Come on
(They really, really ought to know)
Shout, shout, let it all out
(They really, really ought to know)
These are the things I can do without
(They really, really)
Come on
I'm talking to you
(They really, really ought to know)
Come on

Shout, shout, let it all out
(I'd really love to break your heart)
These are the things I can do without
(I'd really love to break your heart)
Come on
I'm talking to you
So come on

Shout, shout, let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you
