TooF@n - The Nine-Day Shoegaze Chronicle

FKTML is Rif Kif Dubman's latest creation, a raw and hypnotic dubstep track that invites listeners to embrace the present moment. Without lyrics, the song speaks volumes through its bass-heavy rhythms and haunting melodies. According to Rif Kif, FKTML which stands for "F**k Them All" is his way of rejecting anything that doesn’t belong in the here and now. It’s a sonic declaration of inner peace, a moment of pure, existential clarity wrapped in deep, resonating beats.
This track is not just music; it’s a statement a reminder to let go of the noise and focus on the peace within.

The Bartenders and Emma Hope return with Hey Bartender! Part 2, a soulful and electrifying sequel to their signature hit. This time, Emma’s haunting vocals bring a new depth to the song, transforming the classic blues lament into a duet of heartbreak and resilience. While Johnny D. and Stephaan Rayes keep their signature groove alive, Emma’s presence adds a delicate yet powerful contrast—her voice both soothing and sharp, like the burn of whiskey after a long night. The song is richer, more intimate, and full of raw emotion, making it an unforgettable chapter in their blues story.

Lyrics:
"Hey Bartender"
(Verse 1) Hey bartender, I’m callin’ out to you, I’ve been prayin’, but you don’t hear me through. There’s a drinkin’ buddy, I’m lost in his charm, And I sip the whiskey poured from his arm. Every time he stirs from his drunken sleep, He grabs that bottle, takes another leap, And he pours me four for every tear I weep.
(Chorus) Oh, a weepin’ heart, torn apart by the miles, The one he loves is like a swayin’ pine. Sleepless nights and a soul in decline, Every thought of leavin’ makes him cry awhile. Why’s he cryin’ over things that ain’t come yet? Why’s he mournin’ for the sun that ain’t set?
(Verse 2) My eyes are dimmed, I can’t see no more, Since you left, the moonlight feels unsure. These tears run long, they blur my sight, And my broken heart joins the fight. Now I’m battlin’ sorrow and the pain of desire, A hopeless dream, a burnin’ fire.
(Chorus) Oh, a weepin’ heart, torn apart by the miles, The one he loves is like a swayin’ pine. Sleepless nights and a soul in decline, Every thought of leavin’ makes him cry awhile. Why’s he cryin’ over things that ain’t come yet? Why’s he mournin’ for the sun that ain’t set?
(Bridge) My folks keep sayin’ I’m a fool for this ache, They laugh and tell me it’s all just a fake. But my pain’s too real, I can’t make it less, It’s the hope and despair of this emptiness. A heart that burns, a tear that won’t stop, Knows its sins but won’t own up to the lot.
(Outro) Hey, you who turns away when I sing, My love for you’s growin’ in the spring. Don’t you dare call my love a lie, This heart beats true ‘til the day I die.
