Lyrics:

I don’t wanna think about
What I was back then
I’m a new man now
I’m a better friend

Find me by the reservoir
Humming to myself 
In a quiet thought
In a peaceful spell

Moving on is easy
You’ll be fine, believe it
Your heart is strong, it’s silver
Carry on, forgive her
Forgive her

Sometimes when I fall asleep
I see world war three
I see tidal waves
Crashing over me

Lately I’ve been doing fine
Working on myself
And I scream out loud
When I feel compelled

Moving on is easy
You’ll be fine, believe it
Your heart is strong, it’s silver
Carry on, forgive her
Forgive her

‘Cause a broken heart
Is still a beating heart
Is still a beating heart
Yeah a broken heart
Is still a beating heart
Is still a beating heart

Moving on is easy
You’ll be fine, believe it
Your heart is strong, it’s silver
Carry on, forgive her
Forgive her

forgive

[Verse 1]
(HixMusi) Back again!
Going all the way in everything my mind says
Focus is on me and currently optics stare
The whole world is fighting I’m at peace on the fence
Lending out my hands to this girl who is scared
Looking at the battlefield where can she fit in?
Asking me what if she “falls behind” in life?
Roles and jobs taken by frauds and bots on sight 
Everybody’s out there fighting for survival 
Saving money it gets taken by higher people
So confused bout certain people that she spirals
I told her that God will take care of all of her rivals
But for now I will be your light
Help you throught it all and uplift you to the sky
I’ll tell you how my life’s been while we’re on a drive
Let’s play a 90s CD and let the beats ride

[Pre-Chorus]
Let the beats ride
Feel it in your heart
Feel the vibe
Feel alive 
Let the beats ride
Let the beats ride
Feel so alive 

[Chorus]
It’s so loud
It’s so lush
So alive
Can you feel it?
It’s so loud
It’s so lush
So alive
Can you feel it?
It’s so loud
It’s so lush
So alive
Can you feel it girl?
Can you feel it? (can you feel the vibe)

[Verse 2]
Gold and diamond is my lifestyle I’m achieving stars aligning 
Show you niggas Hix is better with beats and rhymes go spit elsewhere
This my era til next summer all day all night dropping dropping
Mixtape rapper can I slow down no no no no ain’t no stopping 
Albums coming college done and multitasking keeps me locked in
Dial comrads that I made it rocking all crowds within London
Going crazy they all love me come and test me I’ll kill lames on
Wax won’t even be a serious rap
Bronze and Silver is their lifestyle because cheating just gives you fouls 
Son I’m slicker smooth and polished c'mon it’s not The 6th Day now
Where is your sound following crowds 15 seconds go on countdown 
But to be fair many’ve been there so who’s to say I won't get shutdown
(What if I get signed but then get put on the sidelines)
If I do you know it’s true I will come back looking more fly
Going on and on until it all just dies
And if that's the case, just let the beats ride

[Pre-Chorus]
Let the beats ride
Feel it in your heart
Feel the vibe
Feel alive 
Let the beats ride
Let the beats ride
Feel so alive 

[Chorus]
It’s so loud
It’s so lush
So alive
Can you feel it?
It’s so loud
It’s so lush
So alive
Can you feel it?
It’s so loud
It’s so lush
So alive
Can you feel it girl?
Can you feel it?
Can you can you feel it?

[Outro]
You should feel free
The world should see you
I’m feeling so alive
come on go feel the vibes x2

Poet meets songsmith in a fresh, genre-blending collaboration - Jasmine Gardosi and Dan Whitehouse release their debut collaborative single..
(They Say It’s Like) Riding A Bike explores what it means to keep going - to fall, wobble, pause, and get back on again. A song about resilience and mental health. Powered by the sounds of a real bicycle turned into a percussion instrument - striking wheels, ringing bells - while Jasmine Gardosi’s beatboxing adds breath and momentum, echoing the ride itself and the quiet courage it takes to begin again.
Born from Black Country Bikes: Music In Motion - a songwriting and community project they co-led in 2024 - the song turns the bicycle into a metaphor for life itself.
Workshops brought together a diverse community of cyclists, poets, musicians, and first-time songwriters to explore the question: “What does it feel like to ride a bike?” A real bicycle became a percussion instrument sampled in this song. …Stories became lyrics. Movement became metaphor. And from the middle of it all came this track - not just a one-off, but the first ripple in what promises to be a longer journey together.
“There’s a reason we say, ‘It’s like riding a bike,’” says Gardosi. “The body remembers. The heart does too. This song is about those moments when we think we can’t keep going, but somehow, we do.”
Whitehouse adds: “Mental health-wise, it’s a reminder that it’s OK to ‘fall off’. I guess what matters is getting back on, even if the wheels feel wobbly.”
(They Say It’s Like) Riding A Bike rolls gently through themes of healing, persistence, and self-compassion, set to a chill-hop pulse.
