Q ‘22

lyrics


(verse 1)
i met her downtown in the slums of austin
once we were sober she said “i’m from boston”
i told her i couldn’t give mass-a-two shits
luckily she likes guys that treat her like shit

help me
everyone calls me mickey
just wanna be ur darling
cause fame is fucking empty
u warned me

so listen
i know ur probably with him
& maybe for good reason
but u don’t fucking need him
i warned u


(prehook)
i tried my best to hide it
but now i’m done denying


(hook)
u were, perfect
& im so sorry
i’m such, a dick
but u still love me

i still, regret
letting u leave me
don’t u, forget
u used to need me


(verse 2)
should probably take my own advice now
& move on with my life now
& stop singing about how
u left me

maybe stop getting ur advice from
the guy u get ur high from
if u want my advice, run
real, quickly


how can
i love someone that
can’t stand
the thought of loving 
me back
why do i think i 
need that?
i know uuuu

hate me
but one day babe, you’ll 
thank me
for teaching u how 
to leave 
a piece of shit just 
like me
i warned u


(prehook)
i tried my best to hide it
but now i’m done denying


(hook)
u were, perfect
& im so sorry
i’m such, a dick
but u still love me

i still, regret
letting u leave me
don’t u, forget
u used to need me


(bridge)
yeah, i remember when u said
how u wished that i was dead
so i tried to kill myself
swallowed way too many pills

& god, the tummy ache was shit
but not enough to kill the kid
sometimes i wish i didn’t live
but i’m so fucking glad i did

i remember what u said
u were wishing i was dead
now ur wishing me the best
cause my songs stuck in ur head

i cant believe the things i did
for some narcissistic bitch
i’m so glad i still exist
just so i can rub it in


(hook)
u were, perfect
& im so sorry
i’m such, a dick
but u still love me

i still, regret
letting u leave me
don’t u, forget
u used to need me


THE END

Mickey Darling - you were perfect & i'm sorry

the sum of the in-between

Hospital Record’s soulful drum and bass aficionado Makoto is back with his seventh studio album, ‘Motion Of Change’. Following on from his popular ‘What You Need’ EP and the vibrant ‘Maybe We’ll Make It (feat. Mark Force and Archaik)’, his new album brings a blend of jungle, jazz, funk, and soul with Makoto’s signature euphoric touch. With over twenty years in the game, Makoto’s immaculate discography and signature sound have seen the Japanese born producer pave the way for liquid drum & bass all the way into 2022. A true pioneer of his craft since his Good Looking Records days of the late 90s, he’s since racked up an impressive amount of releases on Innerground, UKF, Liquid V and his very own imprint Human Elements.

More recently, Makoto’s output includes his two Hospital albums ‘Salvation’ (2017) and ‘Tomodachi Sessions’ (2019), and the hugely popular ‘What You Need’ ft Vonne selected as the first ever drum & bass track to be played on Sarah Story’s BBC Radio 1 Future Dance show, alongside support from the likes of DJ Marky, Bryan Gee, Flava D, Nu:Tone, Lenzman and more.

The motivational ‘Step Into Your Power’ features ravishing vocals from rising D+B superstar Ruth Royall. Makoto’s production skills don’t go a miss as he cooks up luscious pad hits and a booming bottom end. With the pair recently releasing the flavourful ‘New Love’ on Soulvent Records, expect good vibes galore as two of the most uplifting sound suppliers in drum & bass collide once again.

Makoto unleashes spaced out synth work, soulful guitar licks and a dynamic crescendo of instrumentation on album title track ‘Motion Of Change’ with Hospital Records’ latest signing, the immensely talented singer-songwriter, SOLAH delivering sweet melodies and majestic high notes.

Makoto travels into deeper territories on ‘Explorer’ ft Degs, as he provides grittier production complete with a moody bassline. Labelmate and multi-talented vocalist, MC and producer Degs dishes out a slew of dynamic bars and dreamy harmonies for the pair’s first collaboration since ‘Illuminate’ on Makoto’s ‘Tomodachi Sessions’ in 2019.

Embracing his love for the original sound of the 90’s, the junglistic instrumental ‘Ascender’ brings future-retro synthesis, crisp cut breakbeats and a summery ambience that lays the foundation for the perfect sub-heavy slammer.

Makoto and London-based singer Karina Ramage reunite on ‘Without You’ after previously collaborating on ‘Shine On Through’, ‘I Don’t Wanna Wake Up’ and Forza favourites ‘Wading Through The Crowds’ and ‘Trial Mountain’. Karina’s soothingly crafted vocals compliment the sincere violins and trademark production prowess from Makoto, making ‘Without You’ another future soulful singalong anthem.

The album also features an eclectic mixture of both fresh and legendary talent from across the drum & bass circuit and beyond, brace yourself for a dynamic streak of sonic contributions from the likes of Singing Fats, Cleveland Watkiss, Liane Carroll, Lauren Archer, Rasmus Faber, Pete Simpson, LXT, and Helena May. You’ll be able to catch Makoto in the Albanian sun this summer at Hospitality On The Beach to soak up those ultimate feel-good vibes!

Lyrics:
Lioness too young to be expecting 
All alone
You were just having fun
Now the funs done and you got no one
Could have happened to anyone
Could have happened to anyone

Bleeding out
Middle of the night see another life
Panning out
Holding on
For a savior that you know won’t come
Could have happened to anyone
Could have happened to anyone

Oh she’s late
Feeling all her years slipping away
She’s late
And mothers only telling you what you did wrong
I thought you had it all but oh my god
Looks like life’s gonna change
Won’t finish school on time
Won’t stay young and fun and flirty til you’re
Twenty fucking nine
Ahhhh

Heartache couldn’t compare to this
Ah bet that silly little boy probably won’t get missed 
She’s late
Never met that nurse before but she’s guiding you through hells door


Oh she’s late
Feeling all her years slipping away
She’s late
And mothers only telling you what you did wrong
I thought you had it all but oh my god
Looks like life’s gonna change
Won’t finish school on time
Won’t stay young and fun and flirty til you’re
Twenty fucking nine
Ahhhh

Could’ve happened to anyone
Could’ve happened to anyone

Bleeding out
Middle of the night see another life
Panning out
Holding on til the holding on is all you’ve done

Lashing out again
Are we lovers are we friends
Did we forget to draw the line
Couldn’t make it better if I tried and I didn’t
Could’ve happened to anyone
But it happened to you
	
	

Oh she’s late
Feeling all her years slipping away
She’s late
And mothers only telling you what you did wrong
I thought you had it all but oh my god
Looks like life’s gonna change
Won’t finish school on time
Won’t stay young and fun and flirty til you’re
Twenty fucking nine
Ahhhh

Late (Lioness)
