Let's you and me just be easy 
Let’s you and I just play nice
Let’s get our wires crossed 
Let’s get all high, lazy and lost 
let’s blow it all off
talk low, and not talk at all
you and me

Dust catching in the slanted light 
the city’s cold and crazy appetite 
curls back like a snake

Out on the street that same old pop and fizz 
is flat and far away on days like this
It’s what it was, it’s what it always is 
Beautiful and strange

Let's you and me just be easy 
Let’s you and I just play nice 
Let’s get our wires crossed 
Let’s get all high, lazy and lost let’s blow it all off
talk low, and not talk at all you and me

Conversation lags and sighs the heavy hours just tiptoe by 
We’ve got time in spades
And all the things that might have been 
All the ones we didn’t win
Spark and flash and fade back into that golden haze

Let's you and me just be easy 
Let’s you and I just play nice 
Let’s get our wires crossed 
Let’s get all high, lazy and lost let’s blow it all off
talk low, and not talk at all you and me

Easy

Nick Roshdieh on unforgettable road trips: routs and tips for epic adventures.

Unforgettable Road Trips: Routes And Tips For Epic Adventures

There’s something exhilarating about the open road, the promise of adventure lurking around every bend. Road trips offer more than just a destination—they’re about the journey itself, the sights, the sounds, and the unexpected discoveries along the way. While highways might be the quickest route, the scenic byways and offbeat stops paint the vibrant canvas of a memorable road trip.

Re: Birth

🌴🌴

[Verse]
Engine hums the road is clear
Streetlights glow the midnight near
Windows down the night's alive
Chasing stars on a midnight drive

[Verse 2]
Palms sway in the summer breeze
Feel the vibe as we're at ease
Radio on it sets the tone
We are free out on our own

[Chorus]
On a long road trip tonight
Underneath the moon's soft light
Miles to go the time stands still
Chasing dreams we've yet to fulfill

[Verse 3]
City lights now far behind
In this moment peace we find
Laughter echoes in the air
Time and worries we don't care

[Bridge]
Feel the rhythm feel the night
In this ride we feel so right
Heartbeats race as we take flight
Making memories in midnight's light

[Chorus]
On a long road trip tonight
Underneath the moon's soft light
Miles to go the time stands still
Chasing dreams we've yet to fulfill

Midnight Drive

[Verse]
Gary was a boy in a puppet show,
Just seventeen, with no place to grow.
His friends cheered him on, told him to dream.
So he walked alone, kicked the stones,
Wanting to find a path of his own.

[Verse]
Feels like a man in a drowning fight,
fighting to stay afloat but sinking inside.
"Home sweet home" is so far away,
Fading more with each passing day.
Oh, for all this pain, what’s the cost?
Feels like he’s gained, but lost so much.

[Chorus]
His father’s shoulder was the strongest place he'd known, but he's gone.
Home’s just shadows from the past,
Strings that pull and hold him back.
He’d wish on stars for days and nights, for things to be different.
Ohh, He’d wish on stars for days and nights,
Longing for things to be just right.

[Verse]
The weight of the world pressed on his chest,
Burdened by choices, haunted by regrets.
Maybe there's solace in silence’s song,
Maybe in shadows he can belong.
Oh, It's beautiful outside, but where's the light?
He just searching for peace in the endless fight.

[Chorus]
His father’s shoulder was the strongest place he'd known, but he's gone.
Home’s just shadows from the past,
Strings that pull and hold him back.
He’d wish on stars for days and nights, for things to be different.
Oh, He’d wish on stars for days and nights,
Longing for things to be just right.

This set is a world tour of house music, fusing classic floor-fillers, Latin heat, deep Afro rhythms, and modern club anthems into a seamless 90+ minute journey.
