D4vd - Here With Me

This trauma in my head
It's my fault for thinking this
These pressures I can't cope with
I'll say that I'm fine

Its critical I talk to you
I can't sleep at night
Without you here with me
This crippling pain I have

As we've been here before
As we've been here before
As we've been here before
As we've been here before

As we've been here before
As we've been here before
As we've been here before
As we've been here before

Stream & Buy - https://razor-n-tape.fanlink.to/LookingIn

Underground System returns to Razor-N-Tape with the Looking In EP - a 5-track offering of fresh originals and remixes. Ranging from low-slung balearic grooves, to driving left-field funk and urgent uptempo backbeats, the record is a fine-tuning of the US sound, complete with their signature flute and synth soundscapes, driving percussion, and catchy offbeat vocal hooks. On the B-side, RNT mainstays Nenor and Clive From Accounts take two of the tunes into clubbier territory, with a pair of remixes primed for the dance floor.

Underground System - Your Distraction

this that real talk stuff

you are so many things to me
i can’t remember what i mean
well come on
it’s too easy
you’re pulling the strings every time
you are so many times of day
i can’t remember what i say
when your scratchin the border
i’m pullin my head back around

is it always on your mind
like it’s always on mine
what’s been always on your mind
i don’t mind siftin through

there are so many words around
i can’t remember how they sound
when i’m facing a stranger 
i’m melting back into the world

there are so many lives to live
and there are these feelings that i get
that pull me 
back out of
my place and i chase some around

is it always on your mind?
like it’s always on mine?
what’s been always on my mind
where’s the time?
scared to move

Lyrics:
You were the one that never made me feel alone
I never thought we were best friends just to get stoned 
Everything was fine until you started drinking
I would lose my mind wondering what you were thinking

Six drinks on a Tuesday you missed my call
I could feel your anger through the walls
Six drinks on a Tuesday you missed my call
I could feel your anger through the walls 

After all this time 
You surfaced in my mind
You crossed a million lines
You were my friend when you were high

We stopped getting together every night
I don’t know why you couldn’t let me in inside
You said your lungs felt better but what about my pride
I was a thing to poke and prod as you liked

Six drinks on a Tuesday you lost us all
I could feel your anger through the walls
Eight drinks on a Friday you’re running from life
I’m watching a movie staying inside

After all this time 
You surfaced in my mind
You crossed a million lines
You were my friend when you were high

Maybe we were both running, putting up walls
The embers going out and I’m alone
Maybe we were both running, putting up walls
The embers going out and I’m alone

Sorry but I can’t forgive (can’t forgive)
You never faced what you did (what you did)
Sorry but I can’t forgive (can’t forgive)
You never faced what you did (what you did)

79.5 is the sound of New York City. The Brooklyn-based band presents their forthcoming self-titled album on Razor-N-Tape.

Soulful and psychedelic, the collection’s masterful melodies may be hard to categorize, from 70’s underground disco to acid jazz to sugary sweet pop. Its very existence is a protest of the old boy’s club in the music industry. And, a personal triumph against all odds, while illuminating the most beautiful collaboration between friends.

79.5 is singer, songwriter and composer Kate Mattison, singer and rapper Lola Adanna, drummer Caito Sanchez (Charles Bradley, Lee Fields), bassist Andrew Raposo (Midnight Magic, Hess Is More) and sax player + flautist Izaak Mills.

Chain of Flowers - The Wall (ALT73)

Drive Your Car

Obsessed with my phone but I don’t know who to call
You opened up a door I’d put up long ago, forgot about it
Can’t you see the pain arises
Waiting here, like it’s so tragic
When you say my name
Oh when you’re far away

Out of grasp, out of my control
Out of grasp, out of my control
Can you control me?
Weighing down so heavy

I wish we were kids from the same old town
So we could keep coming back, back and around
Run across you, you’re the boy next door
And me, I’m yours
And it goes on and on and on, on and on and on, it goes on and on and on
How can I erase the system?

Give me one day, maybe one life
I’ll give you all my sacrifices
Just to hear my name
Oh I won’t be far away

You know I’m nothing but a girl after all
I’m the only one that you recall
You know I’m nothing but a girl
You know I’m no one in this world
Just the only one that you can call

I wish we were kids from the same old town
So we could keep coming back, back and around
Run across you, you’re the boy next door
And me, I’m yours
And it goes on and on and on, on and on and on, it goes on and on and on
How can I erase the system?

Something’s different now
Among crowded thoughts I choose to
See what’s in the rear view
Something’s different now
While I’m nothing but a girl you
Feel a low that’s brand new

Give me one more day
Give me one more way
To break the distance
We could be the thing I’m missing
Give me one more day
Give me one more way
To forget all the things I know
To be like I was before

I wish we were kids from the same old town
So we could keep coming back, back and around
Run across you, you’re the boy next door
And me, I’m yours
And it goes on and on and on, on and on and on, it goes on and on and on
How can I erase the system?

SYSTEM

Imagine Belle & Sebastian had listened to more jazz, funk and hip hop. If you like your indie pop a little off-kilter – like the Magnetic Fields and the Beta Band – you might be into this.

Taken from Not As Bad As It Sounds – album out now on all streaming platforms and limited edition cassette (Bandcamp).

Coming Down

Here are a few songs that I have produced, engineered, mixed and or written.

Moonshine
Color me with moonshine
Making my eyes blind, Too blind to see
That I find, even in the daytime
You and your moonshine shine on me

You’re turning me into a night owl, I don’t know how
You overtook my consciousness and understood my loneliness
It’s misapprehension, often seen as condescension
But believe me when I say, I’m a fan of the direction
You’ve been taking your decisions, sparing me deserved derision,
Rebranded all my faults as “personality omissions”
You’ve eclipsed my inhibitions, pulled me out of darkly drifting
Never need to find another, cause I found someone to color me with Moonshine…

To me it’s enervating, what we’ve recreated
An acrylic piece over shadows painted
Watch the memories of gallows hanging
I can’t seem to fathom a day without your passion
Webbed in the dark, I feel it unraveling
I surf your bluesy waves and my soul goes traveling
I found a well of fishes that have granted me these wishes
In the darkest night you heal me with your Moonshine…

It’s almost painful how elegant you look smiling
I’m filing it away into the back of my mind
Your stylings are outdated but you’ve somehow recreated
A spark inside a part of me that’s long ago sedated
Take me back to seventeen, back to before
Your soul has lived a lifetime through peace and the war
Through perigees and blues you’ve held temerity and truth
I’m alone in the dark but I’m always with you, you’re my Moonshine…

Lyrics:

It’s making you cry every time you give your love to me this way
Saying you’d wait for me to stay, I know it hurts you, 
But I need to tell you something
My heart just can’t be faithful for long
I swear I’ll only make you cry

Maybe I’d change for you someday, but I can’t help the way I feel
Wish I was good, wish that I could give you my love now…

YOU MIGHT JUST THINK I MIGHT JUST HOLD BACK THIS TIME
BUT, BABY, I GOTTA KEEP IT MOVING
‘CAUSE LATELY I’M UP WAY TOO LATE
I SPEND ALL MY NIGHTS WAITING FOR SLEEPING
 
I JUST DON’T GET REST NO, NOW BABY.. THIS IS REAL
I MIGHT JUST NEED YOU TO SPEAK A WORD TO ME
SET ME FREE
 
‘CAUSE THESE DAYS KEEP MOVING
MOVING ON
AND I JUST CAN’T KEEP LOOKING BACK
I GOTTA KEEP IT MOVING
 
‘CAUSE THESE DAYS KEEP MOVING
MOVING ON
AND I JUST CAN’T KEEP LOOKING BACK
I GOTTA KEEP IT MOVING
GOTTA BE STRONG
 
STRONG BLOOD PUMPING THROUGH MY VEINS
FOR DAYS I MISBEHAVE
PLEASE DON’T JUDGE ME, BABY
YOU GOTTA WORK THROUGH THE MUD
 
PLEASE DON’T LEAVE ME, BABY
‘CAUSE I WANNA FLY WITH YOU
PLEASE DON’T LEAVE ME, BABY
PLEASE DON’T LEAVE ME, BABY
PLEASE DON’T LEAVE
 
‘CAUSE THESE DAYS KEEP MOVING
MOVING ON
AND I JUST CAN’T KEEP LOOKING BACK
I GOTTA KEEP IT MOVING
 
‘CAUSE THESE DAYS KEEP MOVING
MOVING ON
AND I JUST CAN’T KEEP LOOKING BACK
I GOTTA KEEP IT MOVING
GOTTA BE STRONG

These Days

Motopony - Wake Up

miles from nowhere. is the guise of multi-instrumentalist and composer Miles Evans- Branagh. The bandleader presents miles from nowhere as a studio-ensemble-experiment-in-soul; crafting his cunning brand of pertinent, groove-based music.  
 
~ ~ ~

Though thoroughly inspired by soul greats like Sly and Curtis Mayfield, Miles is in love with the songwriting of Randy Newman and newer artists like Michael Kiwanuka. On the self-titled EP, Evans-Branagh has assembled some of the most promising young musicians in the GTA who, when not playing on Miles’ music, are touring extensively with the Spencer Mackenzie Band, Ejji Smith, Dan Edmonds, J.R., Bart, Big Fir and more.
