A raw, energetic rock track inspired by the spirit of 80s live shows. Crunchy guitars, driving rhythms, and the vibe of a sunset stage—this is pure burning rock.

Wild Rock with 80s Spirit

Lyrics

I need a check up, 
From the neck up,
I've had these feelings, 
Since my heart went boom!

I've felt elation, 
Tried meditation, 
Opened up the curtains, 
To let light in to the room!

BAD DA BAH DA BAH,   Catch me if… You seen me fallin'
BAH DA BAH DA, Listen out… Incase I'm callin',
BAD DA BAH DA BAH, Hold me close… The night is callin',
BAD DA BAH DA, Don’t let go… The dark is stallin'.

I crossed my fingers, 
Your perfume lingers,
I told you somethings,
Just a little too soon.

You stroked my ego,
Now where do we go,
A sense of panic, 
As you leave the room.

Well holy crap,
I've been living in denial, 
I didn't hear the lies,
Hidden by your smile.

I feel mistreated, 
The fact you cheated,
I must admit,
You did it with style.

BAD DA BAH DA BAH,   Catch me if… You seen me fallin'
BAH DA BAH DA, Listen out… Incase I'm callin',
BAD DA BAH DA BAH, Hold me close… The night is callin',
BAD DA BAH DA, Don’t let go… The dark is stallin'.

Holding on,
While I'm acting frantic, 
It ain't my fault, 
If I've got monkeys in the attic. 
I need a check up,
From the neck up,
I've had these feelings, 
Since my heart went boom!

CHECK UP, FROM THE NECK UP!" is a raw and raucous burst of punk energy,  a headrush of riffs, regret, and emotional mayhem. With sharp lyrics, a pounding chorus, and enough angst to rattle the rafters, this track dives into heartbreak, denial, and that creeping sense you're losing your grip. If you’ve ever felt like your brain needs a service after your heart takes a hit — this one's for you.

Turn it up, shout it loud, and hold on tight — it’s punk therapy, DC Sound Project style.

Lyrics:

We do the strangest things
To each other.
We do the strangest things
To each other.

Now
Feel the absence.
Now 
Taste the damage.

I have learned to enjoy
Hurting you
I learned this from you.

You get a sexual thrill
From making me suffer.

Your nervous system
Lights up
Like a pinball machine
When you abuse me.

Now 
Taste the damage.

It hurt.
And because it hurt, it meant something.
And because it meant something, it was beautiful.
And because it was beautiful, it was holy.
And because it was holy, the angels spoke of it.

Strong Tea
Inspired by «Strong Tea or Father» by Shao Qian, this song is written from the voice of a daughter learning to forgive herself for the distance and anger she carried during her father’ s final days. It’s not about perfect closure, but about finding a way to put the past behind. Forgiveness isn’t always clean—it’s slow, uneven, but real—the way a father would.

[Verse 1]
The taste stayed bitter
a child’s never forgets her first bruises
I kept the silence tight-lipped
blaming myself
for time that slipped away

[Pre-Chorus]
I was angry young and afraid
but that was never blame

[Chorus]
I’m learning to forgive myself
slow the way a father would
Strong tea in my chest
still burning still good
the past is gone
but it carried me on

[Verse 2]
I thought my anger was my sin
I thought my silence meant I failed him
but grief was too heavy
and I was still just a girl—
unready unwelcome

[Pre-Chorus]
If he could only see me now
I think he’d want me free

[Chorus]
I’m learning to forgive myself
slow the way a father would
strong tea in my chest
still burning still good
the past is gone
but it carried me on

[Bridge]
No child should wear a crown of shame
no daughter should swallow blame
even prayers for death were still prayers—
still love
still his way

[Final Chorus]
I’m learning to forgive myself
slow the way a father would
strong tea in my chest
bitter but understood
The past is gone
but it carries me on

Strong Tea

🎵 Original Music from Wirral, UK | Phil Dutton & Les Corlett AKA The DC Sound Project

The DC Sound Project. Eight albums deep and still going strong. It usually starts with a good old-fashioned jam session, then somehow ends in a coffee-fuelled recording marathon. We write songs about love, politics, heartbreak, and those occasional “what the hell is wrong with the world?” moments, all brewed fresh on the Wirral. Press play… it’s music therapy with better side effects!

We’re an independent duo creating everything from raw folk ballads to gritty blues-rock. Every video is carefully crafted with free footage and, sometimes, AI-generated visuals to tell the story behind the song.
