Lyrics..
Well I gave you everything that you wanted
All the attention you need
I even made sure you were satisfied
But what have you done for me

I never let you go hungry
Even made sure you were clean
I kept you in clothes
You know I gave you it all
But what have you done for me
Well what have you done for me

You never take me out
You always say that you're beat
Could it be so hard 
To give some attention to me
I cannot take much more
My patience wearing thin
About to leave your sorry ass
'Cos you're taking me for granted

Well I gave you all the love I had in me
Never made you feel insecure
I treated your ass like royalty
Well I'm not gonna take any more

I even helped you build up your business
I saved you in your hour of need
I signed my name
On the dotted line
But tell me
What have you done for me

So the least you can do is
Honey show me you care
Instead of showing me
Nothing at all
Oh when we first met 
You was [were] out to impress
But now it seems those days have gone
'Cos you're taking me for granted

I remember a time
We used to be so in love
You had so much to give
So I gave you it all

Well I gave you everything that you wanted
All the attention you need
I even made sure you were satisfied
But tell me, what have you done for me

So you come home late
And all you can do 
Is just sit in front of TV
While I'm cooking your food
I know you've been working
Well, I've been working too
You'd better stop it right now
'Cos you're taking me for granted

You'd better stop it right now
I won't be taken for granted

Run Away and Marry Me

Taken Me For Granted (original)

Third single from rock trio Allegory.

Music Video coming soon.
Release date: 14/10/16

Soul bearing emotive rock, with an edgy buzz: Allegory is a light rock band that combines vivid guitar music, with poetic lyrics and an artistic flair.

The band has been together since May 2014 and after their first release ‘Through Time and Space’, they released their second EP ‘Innermost Odyssey’ in September 2015.

The band has an old school No Doubt vibe with dynamics from The Pixies, connecting to a live audience with a vivacious energy and the human experience (which is a recurring theme in the lyrical song writing). A drummer who’s a hard-hitting deep groover, bolsters an expressive, charismatic guitarist, feeding a female vocalist who parades the stage with the vigour of Siouxsie Sioux and a voice ranging from the ethereal tones of Kate Bush to the dark soulful quality of Amy Winehouse.

Allegory have been inspired by Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Jack White, David Bowie, Queens Of The Stone Age and Arcade Fire.

A last minute addition to our debut CD "The Good Life". Basically written during recording, and one-taked its way onto the album! A pop-song about not letting the pop-songs we love make us say things we don't mean to those we love!

Pre-order 'Eulogy For Evolution 2017' on LP/CD/DL here: http://phonofile.link/eulogy-for-evolution

Icelandic composer Ólafur Arnalds reissues and revives his debut album in form of a special remastered 10th Anniversary edition titled Eulogy For Evolution 2017 — available worldwide via Erased Tapes on August 25th. 

Following its initial release in 2007 and coinciding with Ólafur’s 30th birthday, label founder Robert Raths gifted the chance for this record to shine a second time. 

'Eulogy For Evolution' is a journey from birth to death, transporting the listener through life itself. Originally written as a teenager, the record has now been restored with the help of his friends, remixed by Ólafur himself and remastered by Nils Frahm. The cover art was redesigned and enhanced by Torsten Posselt at FELD using the original photographs taken by Stuart Bailes during a trip to Ólafur’s home in Iceland in 2007.

To experience the record in the present day is not only to experience the past, but also the sheer timelessness and relevance of these compositions, and the ambition Ólafur has had from the very beginning. “Fast forward 10 years, our relationships and knowledge in sound have matured, but you can still hear this urgency in Óli’s songs that caught my ears to begin with”, states Robert Raths.

Words from Ólafur, June 2017:

 “I spent a couple of weeks in some sort of a time machine, opening up and working on 12-year-old recordings. There was noise in the microphones, some channels seemed accidentally muted, but sometimes I found myself admiring what my teenage self was capable of. It was somehow charming. Well, most of it. So I fixed the stuff that wasn’t before sending it off to Nils Frahm for remastering. 

It was an ambitious outing. When I was 18 my uncle passed away from cancer. It was the first time I had experienced the passing of someone close to me, so I dedicated my work to him. Around the same time his first grandchild was born, and was named after him. I was inspired by the joy and positivity he brought, and saw that somehow life was extended after our death. So I set out to create a solid piece of music that would take us through the circle of life. 

This work by a highly emotional teenager has been revived, matured and, I hope you’ll agree, improved by some of my favourite people in this world. I’m grateful to see it get another chance to shine and I hope you will enjoy this journey to the past.”

Fusing together Beatboxing, Live-Looping and Guitar, Fugitive Orchestra makes music best described as: Alternative Jazz-infused, Bluesy Hip-Pop; drawing inspiration from the likes of Andrew Bird, LCD Soundsystem, Talking Heads, Paul Simon, Kate Bush and the Blue Nile.

Having garnered support and airplay from BBC Introducing as well as several features on Tom Robinson's 'Fresh Faves' for BBC 6-Music, the release of Tomahawk Caress in early 2019 saw the addition of Politically-charged Alt-Funk to an already diverse palette of sounds, incorporating influences from classic funk to Vulfpeck and Childish Gambino. New single, The Price of Doubt sees an exploration of 80s-tinged Guitar-driven Pop as well as universal themes of self-doubt and the importance of self-belief amid a confusing world.

Fugitive Orchestra has supported the likes of Mr. B The Gentleman Rhymer, The Petebox, Jerry Williams, The Showhawk Duo, Miles Hunt & Erica Nockalls (The Wonder Stuff), shared a stage with early-naughties heroes Wheatus at the Isle of Wight Festival, and continues to take his exciting live show to ever-growing audiences.
