I'd like to share the lyrics of my single: Analog control. I really used to love reading the booklets and reading about the lyrics or songwriting process. This song was really quick in terms of inspiration, i just kept hearing this persistent melody in my head and began to build off it. It gave me the feeling of physicality, warmth, movement. It reminded me of analog gear, powerful and electrified. I played this song in my car to see how it would feel like to listen to it as i moved around my life. I wanted to communicate the message properly that though I may get beat down or mistreated, i will ultimately not break. I will not lose my shine or quality. Like silver, i'm one polish away from looking brand new, all the time. This was a form of therapy for myself in a way. To create something that existed in my mind only allows me to realise the concept in a way. Now it exists so it isn't only in my head. It's out there in the world for other people to interact with. You can stream this song in any DSP or download it on my website right here, under the download my music link. A little gift for people who take the time to visit my website is that they can get my music at no cost, for personal use of course :) and heck yeah if you're a DJ or streamer or video creator, play my stuff as much as you like.
This was the text of my spotify pitch for the song:
“Sparkling production and massive horns start off this cinematic journey. The first line “Analog control, you’ll never take my soul” will be a recurring motif in the song. Emphasising and reaffirming to all those who know and those who don’t know that he is a serious storyteller and rapper. Vivid and personal lyrics reflecting past struggles and stunning verbal visuals. The songs synth baseline holds everything in place as he reaffirms his power. The did not come from nowhere, it is not transient. He goes on to give important advice and observations about his life and future. He speaks on his struggles trying to break into the scene and his journey to overcome the gatekeepers and obstacles in his way. This song is for all the people who feel like they are being used or that have no control. He ends in a creative way that you’ve probably never heard before in reference to the power he has unleashed. ”
LYRICS:
Analogue control, you’ll never take my soul
They watch you in your homes
But how you’ll never know
That’s why they gotta go
I just hit the road
Limo tint for the ones with envy
Search inside my soul
Try to fill the holes
Stumble in the dark
But I can feel it close
When you got a gold watch, you ain’t gotta strike a pose
Sorry I ain’t showing off just sayin how it goes
Always feel the pain
Then I see the ghosts
Used to run and hide
Now I’m out here the most
I propose a toast
Breaking open Pandora’s box and I met the host
Secrets hidden inside my conscious
Kick push and coast
Break all the locks
Wolves in the flocks but they don’t know about the drones
I have seen the most
Wish I didn’t though
Always check the price, even with my clothes
Analogue control, you’ll never take my soul, you’ll never take my soul
Double “U” FOS for those who didn’t know
Used to fear the ghosts, now we driving ghosts
Mighty Morfin time, Megazords go. You’ll never take my soul
All the lows and highs, they never broke my mind
So when the demons show, just gotta let them know
Look inside your mind
Never thought you’d find
Infinite reserves, read between the lines
Move along the curves,
move beyond the earth
Even when it hurts
You gone see its worth it
You deserve a chance
Pay it in advance
Struggle in your job
Scraping up your hands
Wasn’t used to fans
Fame beware the fangs
Glamour lights will blind you quick
Be careful where you land
Analogue control
Digital dash
Feeling like the rocawear days
I just need a chain
I don’t need the cash
U can write a cheque
Pay me my respect
Always rep the set
Some will say he blessed
I just passed the test
Didn’t know my future,
now I’m past the rest
Damn, I need a rest
Guess I know success
Never knew that falling down is the way you learn to skate
Dodging all the fakes
Raising up the stakes
Mighty Morfin time
You can run and pray
Cos I ain’t come to play
Put my name in lights
Never thought I’d see the day
Doing shows into the night
Analogue control, you’ll never take my soul, you’ll never take my soul
Double “U”UFOS for those who didn’t know
Used to fear the ghosts, now we driving ghosts
Mighty Morfin time, Megazords go. You’ll never take my soul
All the lows and highs, they never broke my mind
So when the demons show, just gotta let them know
You’ll never take my soul
You’ll never break my heart
You building up the lies
I’m tearing them apart
All I do is art
Always knew I’m smart
Now I’m going dumb
Hyphy In the streets
Tried to play the clubs
They wouldn’t let me in
Cos I was too different
Cos I aint play the game
But I was too gifted
Now I got acclaim
Powered by the Brain
Try me it’s a shame
Breaking out the chains
I say this all the time
Prisons never hold me
Cos All I need is time
Walking on my own two feet
The feeling so sublime
Making sounds that so unique
And I aint even tryin’
I can see it all
And I aint even scrying
But I got my crystal ball
That thing is bigger than I am
Aint scared of walking tall
Y’all sheep talking bout lions
Got mysteries to solve
Like what on earth is he driving
I tried to make it clear
You’ll never take my soul
Danger always near
But what’s danger to the infinity that I hold
Snap my fingers and I -
Mighty Morfin
