Lyrics:
genius.com/Tafari-anthony-live-in-a-dream-lyrics

[Verse 1]
Running from me
As easy as it may seem
I fall to my knees
Every time I hear my heartbeat I feel alone and ashamed
Playin’ the game
Doing things I never thought I’d do, no
Living the dream
Man it ain’t easy

[Pre-Chorus]
I know what I want
But you tell me I don’t know
Fighting for my confidence
While you slamming the door
But I know that you hold the key
You hold it from me
‘Cause you scared of the future
Yeah, you hold the key
You hold it from me
‘Cause you scared I’m the answer

[Chorus]
Live in a dream
(Oh na, na, na, na)
(Oh na, na, na, na, na)
Yeah, live in a dream
(Oh na, na, na, na)
But when you gonna wake up?
Live in a dream
(Oh na, na, na, na)
(Oh na, na, na, na, na)
Yeah
Live in a dream, yeah
(Oh na, na, na, na)
But when you gonna wake up, wake up?

[Post-Chorus]
(Wake up, wake up, wake up)
But when you gonna wake up, wake up?
(Wake up, wake up, wake up)
But when you gonna wake up, wake up?
(Wake up, wake up, wake up)
When you gonna wake up, wake up?
(Wake up, wake up, wake up)
Ahh Ahh, Ahh Ahh

[Verse 2]
You wanna see all my scars (Ahh)
Get a little bit closer, you can
Tear them apart (Ahh)
Taste the blood in my fear
Make sure I’m ready to go (Ready to go)
Go with the flow (Go with the flow)
Never ask another question
‘Cause it’s all-good (Yeah don't you know?)
Yeah, "it’s all-good"

[Pre-Chorus]
I know what I want
But you tell me I don’t know
Fighting for my confidence
While you slamming the door
But I know that you hold the key
You hold it from me
‘Cause you scared of the future
Yeah, you hold the key
You hold it from me
‘Cause you scared I’m the answer

[Chorus]
Live in a dream
(Oh na, na, na, na)
(Oh na, na, na, na, na)
Yeah, live in a dream
(Oh na, na, na, na)
But when you gonna wake up?
Live in a dream
(Oh na, na, na, na)
(Oh na, na, na, na, na)
Yeah
Live in a dream, yeah
(Oh na, na, na, na)
But when you gonna wake up, wake up?

[Post-Chorus]
(Wake up, wake up, wake up)
But when you gonna wake up, wake up?
(Wake up, wake up, wake up)
But when you gonna wake up, wake up?
(Wake up, wake up, wake up)
When you gonna wake up, wake up?
(Wake up, wake up, wake up)
Ahh Ahh, Ahh Ahh

[Bridge]
Is this a sweet dream; or a crazy nightmare, baby?
Is this a sweet dream; or a crazy nightmare, baby?
Is this a sweet dream; or a crazy nightmare, baby?
Is this a sweet dream; or a crazy nightmare, oh!

[Chorus]
Live in a dream
(Oh na, na, na, na)
(Oh na, na, na, na, na)
Yeah, live in a dream
(Oh na, na, na, na)
But when you gonna wake up?
Live in a dream
(Oh na, na, na, na)
(Oh na, na, na, na, na)
Yeah
Live in a dream, yeah
(Oh na, na, na, na)
But when you gonna wake up, wake up?

But you know you cute
Don’t wanna seem too vain

‘Cause you saw me fall
Just because I be down
Don’t mean I’m game
I know that you like my style
And the way I duty wine my waist

Who do you think you are coming in my space?

Lyrics:
genius.com/Tafari-anthony

When I come to you
When I come to you
Stare in my eyes and see me crying out
‘Cause I fell for you
Yes, I fell for you
But here we are, it’s questioning time

Check in my phone (Check in my phone)
You know you gon' (Know you gon')
Find what you seek ‘cause you made up your mind
And when I go (When I go)
You think I’m not alone
But boy I’m not the one

When I come to you nah, nah
I’m giving all of me
When I come to you nah, nah
I’m giving all of me
Woah…
Wish I could give you more than you see
But when I come to you nah, nah
I’m giving all of me
Woah…

When I come to you
When I come to you
Every word seems to spark another fight
Put it all on you
You put it all on me
3am, we at it again

Check in my phone (Check in my phone)
You know you gon' (Know you gon')
Find what you seek ‘cause you made up your mind
Compare the words ('pare the words)
To what you thought you heard
But boy I’m not the one

When I come to you nah, nah
I’m giving all of me
When I come to you nah, nah
I’m giving all of me
Woah…
Wish I could give you more than you see (Baby, baby)
But when I come to you nah, nah
I’m giving all of me
Woah…
Woah...
Woah...
Ooh...

So what more can I do, what more can I do to prove?
So what more can I do, what more can I do to prove?

When I come to you nah, nah
I’m giving all of me
When I come to you nah, nah
I’m giving all of me, yeah
Woah…
Wish I could give you more than you see
But when I come to you nah, nah
I’m giving all of me

When I come to you nah, nah

When I come to you nah, nah
I’m giving all of me
Woah…
Wish I could give you more than you see
But when I come to you nah, nah

Lyrics:
genius.com/Tafari-anthony-no-good-lyrics

(We-ou-oo-we-ou)
(We-ou-oo-oo)

How could I not know that you were obsessed
When you started reciting my texts
Empty hand you knew every word
I guess some would call it absurd

Now I’m standing here
Feeding obsession with crippling fear
But I love it dear
Do I need to explain anymore?

That’s why I had to leave
‘Cause you’re no good for me
That’s why I had to go away
(Huh)

(We-ou-oo-we-ou)
(We-ou-oo-oo)

We put the good shit down for a rest (A rest)
‘Cause goddamn, I love when you stress (Love, love, love)
See the vein pop right through your head (Your head)
I guess some would call us a mess
Ooh, So

Now we’re standing here (Standing here)
Feeding obsession with crippling fear (Crippling fear)
But I love it dear (Love it dear)
Do I need to explain anymore (That's!)

That’s why I had to leave
‘Cause you’re no good for me
That’s why I had to leave
I can’t say anymore
I can’t say anymore
That’s why I had to go away
Yeah…

(We-ou-oo-we-ou)
(We-ou-oo-oo)
(We-ou-oo-we-ou)
(We-ou-oo-oo)

(That’s why I had to go)
(No, no, no, no)
(That’s why I had to go)
(No, no, no, no)

That’s why I had to leave
‘Cause you’re no good for me
That’s why I had to leave
I can’t say anymore
I can’t say anymore

(That’s why I had to go) Yeah...
(No, no, no, no)
That’s why I had to go away
(No, no, no, no)

Lyrics:
genius.com/Tafari-anthony

You walk in, light up the room
Eyes off me, eyes on you, Sometimes it’s hard to see the truth
Sometimes it’s hard being here with you
I know how these nights go
Every boy in here wants you 
And I know that you know that they do

Pull me in, letting me know
When they push, then you pull, somehow you never let me go
Somehow you never let me go 
I know how these nights end
They flock and my eyes close
But I know you want me the most

I wish I could see myself the way you see me
In your eyes I’m so damn perfect
So damn worth it 
If only I believe

Feel the love
(If only I believed I could feel the love)
(If only I believed I could feel the love)
Feel the love
(If only I believed I could feel the love)
(If only I believed I could feel the love)
Feel the love

I wake up, want to start new
Eyes off you, eyes on me, sometimes it’s hard to hear the truth
Sometimes it’s hard sharing it with you 
I know how these days go
I just wanna talk to you
But I know I got work to do

I wish I could see myself the way you see me
In your eyes I’m so damn perfect
So damn worth it 
If only I believed

Feel the love
(If only I believed I could feel the love)
(If only I believed I could feel the love)
Feel the love
(If only I believed I could feel the love)
(If only I believed I could feel the love)
Feel the love
(If only I believed I could feel the love)
(If only I believed I could feel the love)
Feel the love
(If only I believed I could feel the love)
(If only I believed I could feel the love)

When I hear your words inside my head
Wishin’ I could just think like you instead
You seem to love so freely
You make it look so easy

Feel the love
If only I believed I could feel the love 
If only I believed I could feel the love

Feel the love
(If only I believed I could feel the love)
(If only I believed I could feel the love)
Feel the love
I wish I (If only I believed I could feel the love)
Ooh..  (If only I believed I could feel the love)
Feel the love, feel the love
(If only I believed I could feel the love)
(If only I believed I could feel the love)
Feel the love

Feel The Love

Tafari (pronounced Ta-far-eye) Anthony is a Toronto based artist whose music blends R&B, pop, and soul. He is a creator who embodies the spirit of the modern musician. Not just a musician, but a creator. Known for his sleek vocal tones, sultry melodies and music which oozes with personality, Tafari leaves listeners in awe – somewhat apt considering his name means “He who inspires awe”.

His influences range from artists like Prince and John Legend, to more contemporary artists like Lennon Stella and Charlie Puth, among others. Often described as a mix of Sam Smith and MNEK, Tafari creates deeply emotional songs that resonate across generations. “All of these artists are creating music that is pop in its own right, but also so different from each other”, shares the musician. 

Following the release of his two previous EP’s, both of which received considerable notoriety in Toronto, Tafari made a conscious decision to take a break in 2018 and focus on creating new material which explored his own personal soundscape. “I wanted to take a moment to feel uncomfortable and nervous again. That break was crucial for me”. Now Tafari is unveiling the confident new single “Centrefold”. The track sees the musician taking a different direction, to what he calls his own interpretation of pop music. Soaring with atmospheric synths and cascading pop melodies, Tafari showcases his impressive velvet vocals, with a hint of sass. “Centrefold” is the ultimate “go fuck yourself” send off to a self centred ex-lover. Tafari confides, “I’m a pretty calm guy, but when I get to my breaking point, it’s hard to hold my tongue. This song was written from sheer frustration of trying to let him down gently and realizing that he just refused to understand”. 

Working alongside Brandon Unis (Juno Nominated. Billboard Charted. 1X Gold Producer / Mixer), Kelly Alaina and OBLVYN, in Edmonton, Alberta, Tafari was able to illustrate his desire to create something out of his usual realm, pushing his boundaries. He explains, “I was in a new city, new space and with new people. I think all those factors combined allowed me to step out of my comfort zone to try new things, be open to new sounds and melodies, and be comfortable to be whoever I wanted to be that day”. 

Thematically, Tafari’s music often details love, relationships, life’s hardships and finding self identity and worth in a world where most people feel they need to blend in to be happy. “I’m not afraid to write about those dark moments and truths that may be hard to hear. I would hope that my music would inspire someone to be less afraid of being themselves. Be less afraid of offending people by expressing how you truly feel. And to be less afraid of wanting the things you desire and deserve”. 

Tafari’s music has been nominated for a Toronto Independent Music Award, receives regular airplay on CBC Radio, with one of his singles being named one of CBC’s Most Influential Songs of 2016. He’s also performed with Shangela (RuPaul’s Drag Race) and New York’s upcoming pop Star MAX, toured across North America and Asia as part of the award winning a capella band Eh440, as well as having performed at Toronto’s Dundas Square and Massey Hall and receiving praise from Michael Buble himself. “Centrefold” is set for release Jan 31st.
