[Verse]
My head is aching, heavy from the night,
Shoes tied too tight, holding on right,
Wake at midnight, with feelings torn,
Cramps in my calf, the tension worn,
Dreams fleeting fast, shadows collide,
Secrets untold, whispering inside.

[Chorus]
You have to stretch out,
No matter how it hurts,
Stretch out, no matter how it hurts,
Never stop, never pause

[Verse]
When the current fades, silence anew,
The vibration lost, a disconnected view,
Words left unspoken, echoes remain,
Fool's ramblings end, truth in the rain,
Moments slip by, swept by the stream,
Stillness sways, unravel the dream.

[Chorus]
You have to check out,
No matter how it hurts,
Check out and see everything outside,
Oh-oh, oh, oh

[Bridge]
I don’t need a father,
Think I'll go, alone,
Left in this silence,
Seeking the unknown.

[Chorus]
You have to zoom out,
No matter how it hurts,
Zoom out and see everything we’re destroying,
Oh-oh, oh-oh

[Chorus]
You have to stretch out,
No matter how it hurts,
Stretch out, no matter how it hurts,
Never stop, never pause

Stretch Out [Smoking Gun Mix]

Note: In light of the recent AI breakthroughs, we feel it's important to clarify that we've been working with voice modulation since the mid-1990s – originally inspired by David Bowie's album Outside. Our approach predates AI-driven tools and is rooted in treating the voice as an instrument, shaped and sculpted through earlier technologies.

We fully understand that questioning authenticity may not be the intention – but it's worth remembering that all electronic music is, by nature, mediated and transformed. Even Nietzsche pointed out how modern tools shape us: inserting paper into a typewriter already creates a distance that handwriting does not. Perhaps birdsong is the only truly authentic sound. 🐦

Love many kinds of music, try myself to bring out some spiritual and soulful tunes to reflect or simply to have fun in producing. Doing nightshifts so sometimes if I can focus and "enjoy" and when its a silent night I can listen halfway carefully or in the morning I repeat and hear via headphones without interrupt and in a very relaxed mood, often till my handy fell on my face
