26.03.23 UNITY UNDER THE GROOVE no mic jus bounce bangers

DJs Factory 16 May 23

FREE DOWNLOAD!

In 2019 I played about with a remix of Bonnie Tyler's 80s classic "Holding Out For A Hero".  In 2020, with so much time at home due to lockdown, I took the remix a lot further and included a finished version on my https://soundcloud.com/8bit-alan-james/bounce-times-2 mix.  I then gave this away as a free download from June 2021 until earlier this month.

However, my productions have moved on a bit since I produced the track, so I decided to give it a 2023 update.  I played this at Excite in Newcastle, and now it's available for free download.

Note: it's a 32-bar intro.  I prefer mixing like this (so you can play the hoovers on bar 16, a full 16 bars before the bassline comes in), but any DJs who find this confusing can set their cue point to bar 17.

I hope you like it - any likes and reposts much appreciated.  Cheers!

The DJ-friendly version ( https://soundcloud.com/8bit-alan-james/hero-2023 ) is a free download, but not everyone enjoys listening to 50 seconds of beats at the start of a tune so I've also uploaded a radio edit for listening.  Cheers in advance for any likes/reposts - thanks!

Falling Again

[Intro]
Tonight…
I burn the fear, I burn the doubt
I don’t need fire, I breathe it out…
This is my night
My night to smoke out my soul

[Verse 1]
Star light dripping on my skin
Every scar dissolves within
I been heavy, I been low
But the bass said “Let it go”
Crowd like waves inside my chest
Sacred chaos, holy mess
I exhale everything I was
Inhale who I’m becoming, cuz

[Pre-Chorus]
Every breath is a prayer in the dark
Every beat is a spark
I’m rising higher than the past I know
Tonight I smoke out my soul

[Chorus]
This my night to smoke out my soul
Let the rhythm take control
No poison in me, just sound and light
I’m getting lit by the beat tonight
My night to smoke out my soul
Lose it all, then gain control
Every shadow turns to gold
I’m getting lit, yeah I’m getting whole

[Drop]
Breathe in the sound
Breathe out the pain
We don’t break
We transcend the chain
Hands up high
Lose your name
In this moment
We’re all the same

[Verse 2]
Sweat baptizing this broken skin
Let the healing finally in
I don’t need smoke, I don’t need fire
The DJ got my soul on a wire
Every color that I see
Is a version of the real me
Frequencies like holy wine
This rhythm rewrites my mind

[Bridge]
I was lost in my own storm
Now the thunder makes me warm
The broken parts igniting bright
I make peace inside this night
No more numb, no more cold
I trade my shame for solid gold
This isn’t poison, this is truth
This music is my only proof

[Build-Up]
Faster heart…
Louder sound…
Lift me off the fucking ground…
I don’t need flames to smoke it out
My soul is screaming, hear me shout

[Final Chorus]
This my night to smoke out my soul
Let the rhythm fill the hole
Higher, further, touch the divine
I’m getting lit on this holy line
My night to smoke out my soul
A thousand ghosts I finally released
From the ashes, from the cold
I’m reborn inside the beat

[Outro]
No fire…
No smoke…
Just light…
Just hope…
Tonight…
I smoked out my soul…
With music.

My Night To Smoke Out My Soul

I came home to find you waiting
Hadn't changed
It's been a while

No offense
Babe
I think your style is so bad

It's Christmas time
And it's hardcore
Et J'adore
Baby
It's Christmas time
And it's hardcore
Et J'adore
Baby

It's not just your face I'm dissing
It's your cooking
Shoes
And clothes

No offense
Babe
I think your cooking's so bad

It's Christmas time
And it's hardcore
Et J'adore
Baby
It's Christmas time
And it's hardcore
Et J'adore
Baby

I wonder
Is Christmas Hardcore,
Or Hardcore Christmas ? 

It's Christmas time
And it's hardcore
Et J'adore
Baby
It's Christmas time
And it's hardcore
Et J'adore
Baby
It's Christmas time
And it's hardcore
Et J'adore
Baby
It's Christmas time
And it's hardcore
Et J'adore
Baby
