People Make Love - Remastered

People Make Love

In a world fraught with uncertainty, where the line between duty and personal conviction blurs, Attack the Sounds emerges with their latest single "Fadiya", a poignant exploration of the fears and insecurities that accompany profound life choices.

"Fadiya" delves deep into the soul of its creator, grappling with the daunting prospect of leaving behind loved ones to embark on a journey into the unknown. Inspired by the artist's personal experience of contemplating military service, the song confronts the haunting questions of whether the bonds that tie us to our past will remain intact, and if the essence of who we are will endure amidst the trials of war.

As the band members share, "In war, we face the stark reality of 'with your shield or on it.' 'Fadiya' confronts the morality of these tough decisions and the profound fear of whether God will still embrace us in the aftermath."

With a raw, emotive narrative woven through powerful melodies and evocative lyrics, "Fadiya" resonates with listeners on a visceral level, stirring reflection on the essence of identity, love, and faith in the face of adversity.

"Attack the Sounds has always sought to create music that not only entertains but also serves as a catalyst for introspection and dialogue," says [Your Name], lead vocalist of the band. "With 'Fadiya', we invite our audience to journey with us through the depths of uncertainty and emerge with a renewed understanding of the human experience."

Produced with meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to authenticity, "Fadiya" showcases Attack the Sounds' signature blend of alternative rock and soulful introspection, marking a significant milestone in the band's artistic evolution.

"Fadiya" is now available on all major streaming platforms, inviting listeners to immerse themselves in a transformative musical experience that transcends boundaries and speaks to the universal truths that bind us all.

Lyrics:
I can't see the future
Livid by past
Searching for a way to get to you
In my head your smiling
The memories are blue
This road I'm walking on
Is way to long
to walk alone

All I wanna know
All I wanna know
All I wanna know
Will you be there
When I come back home
Home
Home

I won't cry
The tears I've cried before
As I walked away from the door
I knew that you were standing there
To ask me
with bloodshot eyes
Will you miss me while your gone?
Gone!

All I wanna know
All I want to know
All I want to
(All I know)
Will you be there....

All I wanna know
All I wanna know
All I wanna know
Will you be there.......

When I
Come Back

Home

Fadiya

I'm staring down the barrel of a Colt .45
Trying to figure out
What my life's about
I'm trying to figure it out
While I'm feeling sober in this place I don't wanna be
I gotta walk it down
I stumble and fall off
Trying to figure out
You

Pour my life into six strings for bothering me
I try to pick it out
Gotta get it out
These tears they won't come down
Fake a smile in the mirror cause I'm down on my knees
My life is useless now
Gotta figure out
Can you feel me pleading out

You could save me
With a wake up call
Show me all my flaws
All of my flaws
Please don't blame me
For the road I walk
Need a wake up call
From you

Pull my life out of the hole but who was that for me
Guess I'm all alone
I drive this open road
My hands are getting cold
Stay awake late at night cause I'm scared of my dreams
Your heart was never mine
Can't believe I'm so blind
If you call me anytime

You could save me
With a wake up call
Show me all my flaws
All of my flaws
Please don't blame me
For the road I walk
Need a wake up call
Need a wake up call

You could save me
Please don't blame me
For the road I walk
Need a wake up call
From you

Wake Up Call

Love is War - Chicago Juke

Now I'm afraid
To tell you anything
Because you'll use it all against me
When you have your chance
Take my hand
And pull me outta this whole
I swear I been there much too long
I know I don't belong

Found your number in the back of my pocket
Gonna roll the dice

So pick up your phone
There's something that I wanna say
That if things don't go my way
My heart won't go 'stray
And I don't care what you've done
I don't mind what they'll say
Because I need your warm embrace
Please don't make me wait
For…

You have grown
Seems like I've stayed the same
Need your help so I can change
Can you loosen these chains
On my hearts weak
And my soul it speaks
My flesh is crying out to you
I know you think it's
Too
Late to
Call...

But pick up your phone
There's something that I wanna say
That if things don't go my way
My heart won't go 'stray
And I don't care what you've done
I don't mind what they'll say
Because I need your warm embrace
Please don't make me
Wait...
For...
YOU!

And I'll wait for you
And I'll wait for you

There's a voice on the end of the line it said
I'm not here but I'll call you later if
If you could leave a message at the tone
(At the tone)

Pick up your phone!
There's something that I wanna say
If things don't go my way
My heart won't go stray
Girl I don't care what you've done
I don't mind what they'll say
I need your warm embrace
Please don't make me
Wait

Lauded as pioneers of “Chi-Pop” (Indie R&B/Pop), Attack the Sound (ATS) has solidified itself as a cornerstone of Chicago’s vibrant music scene. Founded by Army veteran and current Chicago Firefighter Davo Sounds, ATS masterfully fuses jazz, hip-hop, blues, gospel, and rock, crafting a sound that’s as electrifying as it is smooth. With comparisons to Leon Bridges, Black Pumas, and John Legend, the band delivers dynamic live performances that have earned them collaborations with heavy hitters like Isaiah Sharkey, Bianca Shaw, Taylor Bennett, and JC Brooks.

Their undeniable talent has taken them to national television, with appearances on ABC’s Windy City Live and WGN’s People to People. Their single Love is War—secured through a sync deal with Winding Way Records—swept the Midwest Film Festival, winning Best AT Show, Judges’ Choice, and Best Cinematography.

Beyond the screen, ATS has cemented its reputation on the stage. As a Chicago City Year of Music grant recipient and three-time Chicago Made Competition finalist, they’ve captivated audiences from Navy Pier’s Beer Garden to the legendary Taste of Chicago, SpringBoard Music Fest, and the International Festival of Life. Their reach extends beyond city limits, having performed internationally at North by Northeast (NXNE) in Toronto. ATS also made waves in the sports world, landing a coveted sync deal with the NBA’s Chicago Bulls for the 2019-2020 season.

With an ever-growing catalog of music and a reputation for show-stopping performances, Attack the Sound continues to redefine the Chicago sound—one soul-stirring track at a time.
