Lyrics:

Get me outta my bed 
Far away from my head 
Loneliness takes a fight 
It keeps me awake at night 

I want someone to please 
Get you down on your knees 
And when our lids are shut tight 
Hold you throughout the night 

And I don't wanna hurt you babe 
And if you want I can stay 
There's no need to run away, no feeling don't mean no pain 

And I don't wanna hurt you babe
And if you want I can stay 
There's no need to run away

I'm only seeing you cause I'm lonely 
Darling wont you understand 
You're not my one and only 
I just need someone to keep me close and hold my dirty hand 

Running back to be comforted 
It's not what we wanted 
Loneliness takes a fight 
It keeps us awake at night 

Don't want no one to please 
Always down on our knees
And when our lids are shut tight 
Stay up thinking all night 

And I don't wanna hurt you babe 
And you know that won't stay 
There's no need to run away 
No feeling don't mean no pain 

And I don't wanna hurt you babe 
And you know I can't stay 
Gotta go our separate way

I'm only seeing you cause I'm lonely 
Darling wont you understand 
You're not my one and only 
I just need someone to keep me close and hold my dirty hand 

(Solo) 

You're not my one and only 
Darling wont you understand 
I'm only seeing you cause I'm lonely 
I just need someone to keep me close and hold my dirty hand

Jennifer Touch - Behind the Wall

When Jennifer was a child, her parents had thrown parties in the attic, dancing the night away listening to their favourite krautrock songs. “My parents were GDR flower-power children, forced to live in a repressed society, behind this wall. The song just came out of me and whilst writing it I realised why I make music and where it comes from. It comes from my childhood in East Germany. It comes from that attic.”

Jennifer Touch - Attic

Tim Bernhardt, AKA Satin Jackets, returns in March with his first proper single of 2020, the brightly optimistic 'I'm With It' featuring American singer, songwriter Metaxas. Returning to the leftfield pop that characterised last year's critically acclaimed album, 'Solar Nights', the new single artfully pairs Satin Jackets' distinctive musicality with Metaxas's intimate vocal delivery to create a vibrant uplifting song brimming with optimism.

Having met in 2019 after Tim remixed Metaxas's hit 'Be Real', the pair quickly realised they were a perfect fit for each other as Metaxas explains. "After meeting Tim through our collab on Be Real: Remixes, we instantly hit it off and decided to work together on a song. Tim sent over the first version of 'I'm With It' and I immediately felt a connection to both the groove and instrumentation."

"I remember writing the verse and chorus in one go, and feeling like the song's hopeful chord progression needed suitably hopeful lyrics. The song talks about reinforcing relationships and stating definitively that one is present and supportive. Most people struggle with insecurities and a true friend and partner usually does their best to keep these away."

With more than 35 million streams on Spotify alone, Satin Jackets' 2019 album 'Solar Nights' cemented his position as one of the biggest, and best, nu-disco producers working today. Continuing to refine and polish his sound the German producer shows no sign of resting on his laurels though as 'I'm With It' and recent collaboration with Australian star Panama, 'Electric Blue', have clearly shown.

The Dream Synopsis - The Last Shadow Puppets (cover)

From Deeper's Sophomore LP "Auto-Pain" out March 27th on Fire Talk.

Buy: https://ffm.to/deeperband

What do you do when pain blots out joy? How do you learn to take care of yourself? What happens when the things you think are helping end up doing the most harm? 'Auto-Pain' is the Sophomore album from Deeper, a record that finds the band embracing open space, using synths to create shadows where bricks of guitars once would’ve blocked out the sun. The group — singer and guitarist Nic Gohl, bassist Drew McBride, and drummer Shiraz Bhatti — were all graduates of Chicago’s rich DIY scene who came together around their love of Wire, Devo, Gang of Four, and Television. While the new record is still within the Great Lakes post-punk tradition of their debut, the album isn’t as insular as its predecessor; it’s less interested in pile-driving and more willing to dwell in liminal spaces. Guitars enter the picture precisely, locked bass grooves propel things forward. Drummer Shiraz Bhatti, who is half-Pakistani and half-Native American, embraced the drumming patterns he’d heard growing up at pow-wows, channeling the anxieties of his heritage into his playing and keeping the group grounded when they switch into all-out percussive attack. The result is an album both more nuanced and catchy.Auto-Pain represents the constant wave of depression felt by many in everyday life. Stemmed from Aldous Huxley’s ‘Brave New World’, Auto-Pain is a concept meant to be an inverse to soma, a pill in the book which makes everything numb. The idea of auto-pain is to epitomize the desire to return to a connection with thoughts and clarity, which comes at the expense of feeling everything simultaneously. The album artwork features the now-demolished Prentice Women’s Hospital in Chicago capturing the band’s rounded-off brutalism, and the album title appears in Urdu, a nod to drummer Shiraz Bhatti’s Pakistani heritage. The record was recorded and mixed by Chicago scene luminary Dave Vetraino (Lala Lala, Dehd) and mastered at Chicago Mastering by Greg Obis (Ne-Hi, Melkbelly).
