TDJ's IMF CHOICE CUTS

Out now on all major streaming platforms: linktr.ee/stripedmccoy

---LYRICS---

Move too slow
they won't let go

My fathers, can you hear me
you're getting very cold
holding onto what of the world you were told

Clutching your brittle strings you're a puppet full of lies
avoiding your gaze to hide all the bodies that lie
under your tapestry of promises to hide
the greed that you thrive on is the way you survive

my fathers, can you hear me
you're getting very cold
holding onto what of the world you were told

move too slow
they won't let go
move too slow
they won't let go

Lyrics:

Let me ask you a question: Why do we make music?

Why are we doing this to us, releasing track after track and 
reading through tons of feedback and screaming 'till our lungs start bleeding
It is the feeling that we get when we have finished a new track
Sharing our deepest emotions, some are blue like the ocean

Knowing that someone feels the same tells me I'm not going insane
Working so hard on everything, knowing that you're doing the same
Came here just for promotion, found new friends with devotion
Learning something new every day, blowing my troubles awaay


What are we doing? 
Why do we do it?
All for the music!


Some of us come for life while others come for praise
It’s hard to send our music off into the waves
Came here for one thing, but left with so much more
And now I see it so clearly, this is what I came here for

We’ve got your post rock, hip hop, folk and R&B
We’ve got the goods to satisfy your every need
Whatever your flavor, all are welcome here
Don't overthink, let your guard down, feel free to create without fear


What are we doing? 
Why do we do it?
All for the music!

What are we doing? 
Why do we do it?
All for the music!

Lyrics:

We used to share every thought and emotion
I used to know you better than my own skin
When I was bitter you could always cheer me up
We used to be best friends but now we're out of touch


I rememeber
We were always together
Now we never
Talk to each other, whatever

Happy Birthday, Merry Christmas
You and I know, how this is

Going to end, we say we are friends
No effort is taken, this doesn't make sense
You're living your life, I'm living mine,
Every year goes by so fast, we don't have time

To meet up, to hang out
Sometimes I just wanna scream and shout,
I ask myself, are you thinking of me?
Why's it so hard, just to grab a coffee


We used to share every thought and emotion
I used to know you better than my own skin
When I was bitter you could always cheer me up
We used to be best friends but now we're out of touch


we know how it goes, we dont have to choose
i know, oh i know what it's like to lose
counting down the day till the weekend
cause its you i've been missing
you've been getting high while i'm feeling low
but you're the only one i've been feeling though


I don't even know who you are anymore
You don't know who I am, or what I adore
All these years have gotten us so far apart
We were mad in love now we're breaking each others hearts


We used to share every thought and emotion
I used to know you better than my own skin
When I was bitter you could always cheer me up
We used to be best friends but now we're out of touch

---LYRICS---

i'm not praying for a rapture, after
all these things will be 
fractured and fucked up 
in a world thats chewing us up
show me your greed, none of your needs

What do you see
nothing can breathe
the violence it breeds
clamps down and

Kingdoms wont fall
if we don't fight them all
through your sweat and blood
you must crawl through it all

Greed

The Reason I'm Here (feat. Dreams of Lasers)

Hello my friends,

I'm super excited to share with you my latest song. This one is extremely special to me. When creating music, I found myself struggling with trying to create works of art that resonated with not only myself, but with others as well. After receiving a ton of negative feedback on my track I had made for Bentley, depression really kicked in. I felt lost as an artist. We all know that depression can snowball and I truly started feeling the weight of it.

One day, I decided to not go for any particular genre and just make a song from whatever flowed out of me. No copying of any sound, no trying to create music for a targeted audience, no genre restrictions. I strove to create a song that was purely an expression of my feelings and musical growth as an artist. 

That is how Catharsis came to be. It felt so freeing not being restricted. When I put aside self doubt and just focused on showing the growth I've had as an artist, I felt like I was flying, free from my emotional turmoils I had been feeling.

I hope you enjoy this track as much as I enjoyed creating it. Please remember that you are amazing in whatever you do and not to doubt yourself because, while we all struggle, its what we do to overcome them that matters. 

With love,
Soran Leif

Catharsis

Hello my friends,

When creating this track, I wanted to establish the feel of someone that is searching for the love of their life. When we are in a relationship with someone, we hope that that person is our soul mate but most of the times its just a glimpse into what we are searching for because things fall apart for various reasons. This track is about that search and yearning to find that special someone.

With this track, I feel I've leveled up a bit when it comes to sound quality of a mix. I decided to take a more subtle approach with the sound design and honestly, I feel it paid off in spades. 

I hope you are doing amazing! If you've found the love of your life, hold onto them with everything you have. If you haven't, they are out there and when you finally meet, it will be absolutely fantastic. Until next time my friends!

With Love,
Soran Leif
