Strangers

All You Desire

If the kids wanna dance
Hot shoes - tight pants
High spirits - cheap bear
My eardrums - Can't hear or won't hear
I'm not here

CHORUS
If the kids wanna dance let them dance, let them dance
If the kids wanna dance let them dance

I'm tired - so what?
Party - I forgot
Can't take the pace
But I'm trying to catch the bass, deep bass
In yer face

CHORUS

One step, one fall
I'm proud I've gall
Raise your finger in the air
Let the world know you care
I don't care, I don't care

CHORUS

If The Kids Wanna Dance (Let Them Dance)

Written recorded and performed by Allie Thompson and Greg Doscher. Produced and mixed by Greg Doscher. Mastered by Brian "Big Bass" Gardner.

Lyrics:
You’d better be waiting cus you’ve got another thing comin’ to ya
Fresh off the kill and too far afield for any of us to go

If you don’t know what you’re feeling 
If you’re hanging on your own wire
If you don’t know what you’re feeling you’re out to dry
It’s only a matter of time

We’re both keeping our feet wet not to condemn what we’re running from
Let’s make a deal and kick up our heels or is it too late for that

If you don’t know what you’re feeling 
If you’re hanging on your own wire
If you don’t know what you’re feeling you’re out to dry
It’s only a matter of time

I don’t know which way you’re leaning shifting your weight like an untethered sail
High on caffeine and sick of this scene you’re caught in your own trap

If you don’t know what you’re feeling 
If you’re hanging on your own wire
If you don’t know what you’re feeling you’re out to dry
It’s only a matter of time

You don’t know you don’t know what you don’t know
You don’t know you don’t know what you don’t know
You don’t know you don’t know what you don’t know

If you don’t know what you’re feeling 
If you’re hanging on your own wire
If you don’t know what you’re feeling you’re out to dry
It’s only a matter of time

You’d better be waiting

What's Wrong?

"Don't Speak Too Soon" is my first attempt at being an engineer and producer. It was a lot more involved than just showing up to the studio to record my parts! I think more hours were spent reading and watching tutorials than actually recording.

One of the biggest mental and technical hurdles I had to overcome was losing all my vocal takes and having to re-record them all over again.

Hold Me Close Hold Me Tight

Don't Speak Too Soon

Chris, Ben and Josh met in the industrial beach town of Newcastle, Australia. The music of Dancer is addictive, with contagious melodies and powerful lyrics. It’ll make you feel reckless, joyous and creatively beckoned all in the same second
