Lyrics:
I’m late for life, everyone’s moving on.
I’m still, still, when did it all go wrong?
Maybe next weekend I’ll realise these comedowns are worth the high.
Am I bi?

smoking too much weed, who are your real friends?
I don’t seem to recognise these thoughts inside my head
I’m paranoid but I can hear one saying
Hear one saying

Give yourself a little time,
Focus on the shape of your mind,
Enjoy making your mistakes,
I know you’ll learn to do better, better.

I woke up at 12, my mum made me a cup tea,
She said she had some bad news me,
My dads not around no more.
You’re gonna fall for someone that’s a bit of psycho, 
It’ll be alright though, you’re going to be alone for a few years, not too long

You’re gonna be your happiest at 18, lonely at 19, fuck know your twenties
I’m sure it’ll be alright

You’re gonna break your own heart and you’re gonna break another too,
You’re going to get addicted to nicotine and then you’ll find your muse,
You’re gonna fall in love again, but remember there’s not enough time to be embarrassed or self conscious, just trust in the process.
You’re still growing, you’ll find your way back, stay calm just be you.

Internet Raised: a fresh, excitable, innovative Indie/Pop Duo you’ve all been waiting for.

The members Oliver Pinder (21, from Wakefield) and Vanessa Maria (27, from Manchester) were both raised in Bradford, West Yorkshire, and have shared a strong passion for singing and songwriting from young ages.

‘Internet Raised’ derives from the idea of how our youth today look up to, and are influenced by a third parent - the Internet.

All of their songs are predominantly based on the concepts and themes of love, loss and growing, as well as the experimenting and improving yourself.

The duo’s name came from a poignant lyric in ‘A World Alone’ from Lorde’s debut album ‘Pure Heroine’; an artist whom is a large inspiration to the duo.

Collectively, from their solo projects, they have experienced radio play across BBC 1Xtra, BBC Introducing, Radio X, press coverage on TMRW, A Music Blog Yea?, The Line of Best Fit, and have also supported the likes of the iconic Anne Marie, Maverick Sabre, JP Cooper, Kate Tempest, Rhodes, Benjamin Francis Leftwich, Billie Marten, and many more noticeable names.

Oliver and Vanessa have curated an exciting, dynamic live show, consisting of Oliver on keys, guitars, percussion and vocals, and Vanessa focusing on vocal delivery, whilst playing some synth and percussion. They are hopeful to be able to tour in 2021.

In mid-2020, the duo took some original demos to James Kenosha, an illustrious Producer, known for his works with Birdy and Rhodes, and expanding on Oliver’s existing production.
