Lyrics
Close my eyes and I see your face
It gets frustrating
Just to know that I shoulda said something
Would you notice me if
I told ya that my heart was racing
I can’t stand chasing
But baby I would chase you round
If it just meant I could spend another day with ya
I’ll tell you how I feel
Something about you stills my heart
Girl it’s the way you slow me down

Tell me why you like green
We can’t really explain these things
I just like you cause I like you
Won’t you tell me that you feel it too
I can tell you’re lonely 
I bet you feel just like me
I just like you cause I like you
Won’t you tell me that you feel it too 
I do

I think I like you
like you
like you

It only makes sense when I sing
She keeps on playing with rings
On her right hand
Says she hasn’t been with the right man
Not yet no
If she just looked up for one sec
She’d see how much I want this
Then I let the moment pass like ships
Girl it’s the way you slow me down

Tell me why you like green
We can’t really explain these things
I just like you cause I like you
Won’t you tell me that you feel it too
I can tell you’re lonely 
I bet you feel just like me
I just like you cause I like you
Won’t you tell me that you feel it too 
I do

I think I like you
like you
like you
Ya I think I like you

GREEN

Lyrics:

You know me well
Still hard to tell
What’s going on
Cause I fall from grace
Each and everyday
Oh drop the hat
But I don’t wanna lesson
No, I’m only confessin’
That I might just be

A difficult love
A difficult love
A difficult love
I’m so difficult

Cause when I’m rocking the place
I’m never far away
From a mess again
(Mess again, mess again)
But you stay by my side
I’m left wondering why?
Cause I know that I’m obsessive
(Oh I’m obsessive babe)
But you are my main obsession
(Ooo)
Still I might just be

A difficult love
A difficult love
A difficult love
I’m so difficult

(Difficult)
Ooo but am I pushing you outta reach?
(Difficult)
Tell me baby how long is my leash?
(Difficult)
Ooo well tell me how long?
Oh how long?

Oh but I don’t want any lessons
I’m only now confessin’
That I might just be

A difficult love
A difficult love
A difficult love
I’m so difficult, difficult
(Oh I’m a difficult love)
A difficult love
A difficult love
A difficult love
I’m so difficult

My World (beyond)

Fly Away” is a breezy, soulful celebration of love that feels effortless and grounding all at once. Over smooth, airy production, TAVE and Tia Gordon weave intimate melodies about feeling truly seen, cherished, and at peace in someone’s presence. The song blends tender lyricism with a weightless groove, evoking the calm rush of ocean air and the golden glow of a connection that feels destined. It’s both romantic and freeing—capturing that rare kind of love that lets you breathe, dream, and fly.

On his sixth studio release Roulette, the prolific producer, songwriter, pianist and MC Alfa Mist has created his own sci-fi universe - a vast dystopia where themes of revenge, forgiveness and redemption loom large.

Alfa Mist’s albums have always tackled big themes. This time, however, he explores an imagined near-future in which reincarnation is discovered to be a potent tool linking dreams and past lives. But with this discovery comes consequences: ethical, moral and philosophical. “If reincarnation is real, how does that shape society?” he explains. “If reincarnation means accumulation of knowledge, would you share it and enable everyone to understand more about the world? Or do you struggle for power? And do some people want to stop others from remembering who they were?”
Over 15 tracks, Alfa explores these ideas with heady potency. Each song is a spin of the wheel – a different song and character. The musician’s signature is still there – lambent keys, intuitive groove, free-flowing jazz improvisation – but Roulette is imbued with a smoky psychedelia. An immersive listen, this album is designed “to feel” on every level, says Alfa. It also contains some of his most impressive arrangements yet - see the eight-minute title track that effortlessly flips through time signatures – “because life’s like that,” says Mist; it’s not always linear.

Roulette underlines Alfa Mist as one of the most forward-thinking composers in UK music, with poignant, plaintive melodies that lodge deep in your psyche. “I’m exploring different parts of myself,” he says. “But obviously, as I grow, all of those parts change. Music is a constant; it’s my state of mind that I constantly chisel and work on and make sure that’s always growing and staying interested in new things. As long as I do that, it’ll come out in the music.”
