LYRICS
I follow the crumbs
They lead to your potion
I drink just a drop
And now I have fallen

All I want is to love you
All I want is to love you
All I want is to love you
All I get are crumbs

Will you show me where you’re hiding
While this heart is slowly dying
Tear your walls down let me find you
Let this love shine ‘cause it will blind you
If I can find you

You don’t want to hear
What I have to say
You gave me a taste
You throw me away

All I want is to love you
All I want is to love you
All I want is to love you
All I get are crumbs
Will you show me where you’re hiding
While this heart is slowly dying
Tear your walls down let me find you
Let this love shine ‘cause it will blind you
If I can find you

What have you done?
This storm in paradise
I followed your directions
I didn’t think twice
Now I'm wide awake
As the road divides
Will I find your answers
On the other side?

If I could just find you
If I could just find you

All I want is to love you
All I want is to love you
(If I could just find you)
All I want is to love you
All I get are crumbs
(If I could just find you)
Will you show me where you’re hiding
While this heart is slowly dying
Tear your walls down let me find you
Let this love shine ‘cause it will blind you
If I can find you
‘cause it will blind you
If I can find you
‘cause it will blind you

LYRICS
Why do I keep coming back for more?

I was drawn to you like a moth to a burning flame
Unaware that I would be burnt time and time again
Down the path that leads to the glow of your flickering
Fight the urge this time get me out of your labyrinth

Your light was always so bright it hurt my eyes
Now it’s not such a surprise I’ve been hypnotized
I know I’ll wake again hating myself
I was a fool to believe I could trust myself

Why do I keep coming back for more?
Don’t know why I’m standing at your door
Like a kid drawn to a candy store
Whoa-o-o-o-o-o-o I’ll be back for more

I can tell you again that we really must resist
I know that I will fail when you tell me you just insist
You’re a missing piece of a puzzle that I can't solve
Now we’ve started the game wish I’d never got involved


Your light was always so bright it hurt my eyes
Now it’s not such a surprise I’ve been hypnotized
I know I’ll wake again hating myself
I was a fool to believe I could trust myself


Why do I keep coming back for more?
Don’t know why I’m standing at your door
Like a kid drawn to a candy store
Whoa-o-o-o-o-o-o I’ll be back for more

I’ve been looking for you
You're not looking for more
Don’t get me confused
I’m not keeping score
It’s not what you think
Got your back to the wall
Come tomorrow baby you’ll be coming back for more

Why do I keep coming back for more?
Don’t know why I’m standing at your door
Like a kid drawn to a candy store
Whoa-o-o-o-o-o-o I’ll be back for more
Why do I keep coming back for more?
Don’t know why I’m standing at your door
Like a kid drawn to a candy store
Whoa-o-o-o-o-o-o I’ll be back for more

Out Of The Rain (Sandra Grace Remix Instrumental)

You hide inside my darkest days
Can I ever let you go?
You always want to have control
Silence once again takes hold
I wanted more so I can’t stay
It’s better if I go away
Happy endings always leave me feeling sad, sad, sad
 
The rain from London follows me
The grass is never quite as green
If the road ahead looks so damn straight
Why am I running off the bends?
I’ve flown ten thousand miles across the world
But I can’t find the sun
The rain from London follows me
Wherever I go
Wherever I go oo oo oo oo

You take it all and then some more
I have everything to give
I’ve wasted love and you’re to blame
Love was running through my veins 
I’ve come undone so I can’t stay
It’s better if I go away
Happy endings always leave me feeling sad, sad, sad

The rain from London follows me
The grass is never quite as green
If the road ahead looks so damn straight
Why am I running off the bends?
I’ve flown ten thousand miles across the world
But I can’t find the sun
The rain from London follows me
Wherever I go
Wherever I go 

Don’t follow me
Just let me go
This rain is all I’ve ever known
The brighter days
I’ve yet to see
Where did they go?
Where did they go? oo oo oo oo
Where did you go? oo oo oo oo

The rain from London follows me
The grass is never quite as green
If the road ahead looks so damn straight
Why am I running off the bends?

The rain from London follows me
The grass is never quite as green
If the road ahead looks so damn straight
Why am I running off the bends?
I’ve flown ten thousand miles across the world
But I can’t find the sun
The rain from London follows me
Wherever I go

The Rain From London

I’m on a mission to forget you
Will you let me get away,
Before someone gets broken?
I’ve engaged the final sequence
Countdown begins today
The flight path has been chosen

But the force of gravity pulls me down
I collide, you spin around
The constellation of inner fear
I provide, you don’t hear
The words I have to say
My words just drift
Through the stratosphere
Till the force of gravity pulls them down
They hit the ground
They make no sound

This weightlessness has left me fragile
An echo of myself
Exploding into fragments
In these cavernous emotions
And the empty space between
The truth is in its absence

But the force of gravity pulls me down
I collide, you spin around
The constellation of inner fear
I provide, you don’t hear
The words I have to say
My words just drift
Through the stratosphere
Till the force of gravity pulls them down
They hit the ground
They make no sound

Like a meteorite
Blazing through the night
Supersonic boom
I’m speeding with the light
Pulling me to you
You have to let me go
Like a meteorite
Blazing through the night
Supersonic boom
I’m speeding with the light
Pulling me to you
You have to let me go

But the force of gravity pulls me down
I collide, you spin around
The constellation of inner fear
I provide, you don’t hear
The words I have to say
My words just drift
Through the stratosphere
Till the force of gravity pulls them down
They hit the ground
They make no sound

Force Of Gravity

Stranded on this island
Chasing your horizon
Searching for you
Holding back the oceans
Going through the motions
So mechanical

Those days are behind me
You don't define me
I'm all brand new
Your words can't control me
Love's not the enemy
You don't have a clue that

I've moved on
I've moved on
I'm not where you think I am
I'm not sticking to your plan
I've moved on
I've moved on
I'll be moving out of line
You'll be fading far behind
I've moved on
I've moved on
From where you want me to be

Living in the silence
Loving through the violence
Waiting for you
Running out of options
Your truth is in the notion
You've less to prove

I want to believe you
But you will deceive me
You always do
Refuse my affection
And misplaced direction
Of my perfect view now

I've moved on
I've moved on
I'm not where you think I am
I'm not sticking to your plan
I've moved on
I've moved on
I'll be moving out of line
You'll be fading far behind
I've moved on
I've moved on
From where you want me to be

Even when I sleep
I hear a drum that beats
A rhythm to be free
To you it makes no sense
I hear it nonetheless
I've waited patiently, now

I've moved on
I've moved on
I'm not where you think I am
I'm not sticking to your plan
I've moved on
I've moved on
I'll be fading out of view
It's gonna be me but not with you
I've moved on
I've moved on
I'll be moving out of line
You'll be fading far behind
I've moved on
I've moved on
Where I've gone you'll never be
You just can't follow me
From where you want me to be
I've moved on
I've moved on

I've Moved On

This Modern Life (1984)

The Rain From London (OutBreak_music Remix)

I was minding my business
You were on the TV the screen
Started talking about me
Blowing smoke from your machine

One more lie in a game of words that never end
One more heart beaten down but love will never bend

You act high and mighty then turn away
Push your charade of a better brighter day
The world has its haters preaching fairy tales
If life’s so important won’t you leave mine alone

You don’t know me
You don’t know me
You don’t know me
You don’t know me

Try to cram us into your box
We will always break the mold
Aim your poison take your best shot
Love can never be controlled

You say we are the ones causing you all the shame
If the truth could be told you don’t even know our names

You act high and mighty then turn away
Push your charade of a better brighter day
The world has its haters preaching fairy tales
If life’s so important won’t you leave mine alone

You don’t know me
You don’t know me
You don’t know me
You don’t know me
You don’t know me
You don’t know me
You don’t know me
You don’t know me

You act high and mighty then turn away
Push your charade of a better brighter day
The world has its haters preaching fairy tales
If life’s so important won’t you leave mine alone

You don’t know me
You don’t know me
You don’t know me
You don’t know me
You don’t know me
You don’t know me
You don’t know me
You don’t know me

You Don't Know Me

 “Darren Ockert has been building up his impressive resume for some time now, and if you haven’t heard of the pop singer before this…you’re about to make room for a new addition to your musical library” (Pen’s Eye View).  British-turned-Floridian, Darren Ockert is an international man of many talents.  He is an accomplished indie pop singer, songwriter and producer now based in Miami, Florida.  Born and raised in Lincoln, England, he is a graduate of the prestigious London School of Musical Theatre. Post-graduation, he established a theater production company called Darren Ockert Productions in London at the Young Vic Theatre. In 1999 Darren Ockert became one of the youngest producers to win a prestigious TMA Award for his co-production with the Young Vic Theatre Company of Arabian Nights. On September 29, 2000 this production of Arabian Nights played a limited run Off-Broadway on 42nd Street in New York City at the New Victory Theater.

Ockert’s solo-artist career began in 2005 with Anything Is Possible, which was the first album he recorded, produced and released on Shark Meat, his own label.  The album received much critical acclaim and landed him a nomination in the 2006 OutMusic Awards for Outstanding New Artist – Male.  Ockert opened the awards show, held at The Knitting Factory in New York City, with “Out of the Rain,” the second single from the album.  Anything Is Possible also appeared on the initial 2006 Grammys voting ballots, and Ockert appeared on the initial 2007 Grammys voting ballots for co-writing and producing Grace Garland’s Lovers Never Lie (In Bed) album. 

2012 welcomed The Rain From London (Shark Meat, 2012), a four-track EP featuring a title track that tips a Union Jack umbrella to London’s famous wet weather.  Inspired by ‘80s UK pop, Darren has harnessed that energy and infused it with a fresh sophistication for a sound that is memorably powerful and poetic.  An homage to his homeland as well as a metaphor for a failing relationship, Ockert’s voice rings out reminiscent of contemporaries such as Daniel Beddingfield or Enrique Iglesias as he laments, “Happy endings always leave me feeling sad.” After the pulsating rhythms of The Rain From London, Ockert slows things down for the ballads “The Force of Gravity” and “I’ve Moved On.” EP closer “This Modern Life (1984)” pays tribute in more than title, mixing in essences of the darker tunes of the decade with Ockert’s modern pop sensibilities. The EP received five nominations in the 2012 RightOutTV Music & Video Awards and the track “This Modern Life (1984)” won the award for Best Electronic/Dance/Hip Hop/R&B Song. The song “Force of Gravity” was also a finalist in the 2012 UK Songwriting Contest. Prior to The Rain From London, Darren released the single and music video “Celebrity du Jour” (Shark Meat, 2009), which was quickly in rotation on MTV Networks LOGO channel.

In February 2013 Ockert premiering a documentary, which he co-produced, followed suit with a single and video,  “You Don’t Know Me,” as well as anti-bullying campaign, the #YouDontKnowMe project, and putting the finishing touches on full-length Short Story Long due out later this year.

Premiering - and taking first place - at the Enzian FilmSlam in Orlando on February 17, Darren Ockert: A Mini Documentary offers the first teasers of songs from Ockert’s forthcoming record Short Story Long . An apt pairing, the documentary and album shed light on his creative process and personal life.

Short Story Long’s first single, “You Don’t Know Me,” sparkles with peppy twinkling loops, crisp production and synths, catchy, uplifting melodies, and danceable beats, lyrically, the song touches on the pains of being in the public eye and the struggles of warding off false assumptions. The video for “You Don’t Know Me” which premiered on LOGO TV’s New Now Next, follows eight strangers as they transform from one character to another in front of your eyes in their bathroom mirrors. Each story is of a person who is assumed to be quite different than they really are based upon their outer appearance versus their true selves.  The video’s plot goes along with the #YouDontKnowMe project that calls upon anyone who has ever felt misunderstood or unfairly judged based on how they appear.  Ockert launched the interactive forum on March 12, 2013, inviting people to post videos sharing personal stories of overcoming prejudices. Ockert hopes that this project can help to destroy stereotypes and help people realize that we are more alike than we are different.
