Fresh Start

Adore U - Fred Again, Obongjayar VS. Send Me On My Way - Rusted Root (BYNX Edit)

[Intro — breath slow, steady]

Breathe in the spark.
Let it settle in the marrow.
No fear.
Only becoming.

[Verse 1]

I walked through fire with my eyes open wide,
Heat in my chest and the ashes behind.
Everything false burned away in the light,
I rose from the embers — alive in the rise.

[Pre-Chorus]

They tried to define me,
Tried to confine me,
But I am the flame —
and the flame is still rising.

[Chorus]

I burn — and I grow.
I rise — and I know.
This heat is the cradle where I become whole.
I burn — and I bloom.
I rise — and make room.
The fire’s not ending —
the fire is my room.

[Verse 2]

Pain was the teacher when the world turned away,
Silent and patient, it sculpted my shape.
I am not broken — I’m formed by the blaze,
Clearer and stronger — I walk through the flame.

[Pre-Chorus]

They didn’t create me,
They don’t get to claim me.
My name is my own —
and the fire re-names me.

[Chorus]

I burn — and I grow.
I rise — and I know.
The soot on my skin is the map of my soul.
I burn — and I bloom.
I rise — and make room.
The world tried to end me —
I rose from the wound.

[Bridge — whisper → roar]

Growth is not gentle.
Light is not clean.
Becoming is violent
when you’re shedding the machine.

But I stayed.
I breathed.
I rose.
I freed.

[Final Chorus — full, triumphant]

I burn — to begin.
I rise — from within.
The fire didn’t change me —
it revealed who I’ve been.
I burn — to expand.
I rise — and I stand.
This flame is the garden
where I grow my own land.

[Outro — controlled flame]

I am not done.
I am becoming.
Still.
Here.
Burning.
Made of Fire.

I didn't think it was fair to just have a Pretty Boy version....so....

Pretty Girl(3)

Better known as 1/2 of Greek synth pop band Liebe, Dim Zach recently decided to embark on his own solo project to further show off his love and mastery of 80s synth pop.
When you listen to the first track on Exotic Composites, you are instantly enveloped in lush beats which gradually transform themselves into synth-infused nu disco, cosmic, & smooth house across 12 tracks.

Our favourite tracks on the album, ‘Boys Between Girls’, ‘Time is Running Out’, and ‘Palace’ remind us of a time when dancing in night clubs involved style and panache, elements which are increasingly rare in today’s clubbing era.

In a dark kitchen in the middle of a sweaty night in Las Vegas, all 6’4” of Dan Reynolds is hunched over a laptop, slapping beats on the table and crooning lyrics into a tiny microphone. Before long, he and the other three members of indie rock band Imagine Dragons would be playing “It’s Time,” that same laptop-demo-turned-supersized-anthem, from the roof of a parking garage to a wave of thousands of screaming fans. This song title to the single from their 2012 debut KidInaKorner/Interscope release “Continued Silence EP” is an all too apt descriptor of the band’s hard-earned success—but it’s also emblematic of the deep-seated anxiety Reynolds and the rest of the band experienced leaving behind any realistic expectation of a normal job to do the thing they love most.

A third-generation Las Vegas native, Reynolds is no stranger to the adage “the house always wins,” choosing to pave his musical career with a near obsessive work ethic and hundreds of unused demos rather than roll the dice with the first songs that sprung from his mouth. It’s no surprise, then, that he was drawn to guitarist Wayne Sermon, another founding member of Imagine Dragons. Having practically grown up in a recording studio and graduated Berklee College of Music, Wayne had been practicing his guitar through meals and other socially inappropriate situations as long as he could remember; he challenged Dan in a way that was both uncomfortable and exactly what they both needed. When they began writing songs together and recognized something special was happening, Wayne called up his Berklee friend Ben McKee, who promptly dropped out of school with only a few credits left, moving across the country to play bass for the band. This sort of reckless/genius behavior is typical for Ben, who has an uncanny penchant for spicy food and a suitcase full of unbelievable road stories. More recently, the band was joined by drummer Daniel Platzman, another Bostonian schoolmate who seems way too nice to be playing rock and roll until you actually see him in action.

Several tours and three self-released EPs later, Imagine Dragons had made a serious name for itself, particularly in the west coast circuit. Although their songs vary from nearly whimsical and light to brooding and powerful, listeners are drawn to the inherent honesty in the music. The only rule of thumb for the band, it seems, is to write from a true place; the result is songs that literally run the spectrum of human emotion. Attend a concert, and it becomes clear that the live performance of deeply personal songs has a real effect on people. And the band itself is not immune, as demonstrated when Dan literally passed out into the drum set during a finale song, sending cymbals and drum stands crashing while the rest of the band played on until the close.

Great songwriting is bound to be noticed eventually. As proof that the harder you work, the luckier you get, one of those people who noticed was Grammy winning producer Alex da Kid (Eminem, Rihanna). Alex and Dan began collaborating on projects, and soon the band had developed a relationship with Alex and his team. The alchemy resulting from Alex’s hip hop sensibilities and Imagine Dragons’ anthemic rock is nothing short of explosive. The byproduct of this creative collision is “Continued Silence,” a six song in-your-face sonic grenade that breaks musical boundaries and yet is strangely relatable by its improbably diverse audience.

Despite it all, on any given day when they aren’t on the road playing shows, you can still find Imagine Dragons huddled away in a rehearsal room somewhere, banging out song after song in search of the next perfect track. Like most things in Vegas, the band is angled at going big or going bust. For the sake of those who love great music, we hope it’s the former.
