Hi there and welcome to the latest track by INNER FIRE 'Whatever You Need'

I've been working on this track for a while and it was originally written as a NEON MONOLITH track, but as I recorded the vocals I realised it needed to be a band track.

Lyrics, Composition, All Instruments, Arrangement, Vocals & Production: Matt Baker


When I see you in the room
Feelings that I can't explain
When I see you in my dreams
Sleepless nights will start again
When I see you see in the day
I wish it was night again
When I see you in the night
Everything will be alright

Its alright, its alright, its alright

Whatever you need you take from me
I am broken on my knees 
Whatever you need, to feed your greed
Now I'm taken over
Whatever you need until I'm done
And I'm left to fade away
Whatever you need you take from me

When I see you in the room
Feelings that I can't explain
When I see you in my dreams
Sleepless nights will start again
When I see you see in the day
I wish it was night again
When I see you in the night
Everything will be alright

Its alright, its alright, its alright

Whatever you need you take from me
I am broken on my knees 
Whatever you need, to feed your greed
Now I'm taken over
Whatever you need until I'm done
And I'm left to fade away
Whatever you need you take from me
Whatever you need you take from me
Whatever you need you take from me
Take from me
Take from me


Recorded at Yew Tree Studios Liverpool

Thanks for listening, comments and feedback most welcome

Peace, Love & Respect

Whatever You Need - INNER FIRE

Music has always been an integral part of my life. From my earliest memories, it has shaped how I express my emotions and bring my creative ideas to life. Whether it was hours spent with a slightly out-of-tune upright piano or strumming on my sister's guitar, I was hooked. While I struggled with traditional music theory and never quite mastered reading or writing music, my passion for sound and composition only grew.

My journey truly began with a Casio VL-Tone, a keyboard that allowed me to record simple melodies. Throughout my teenage years, I poured countless hours and resources into building my first collection of music gear, recording everything from theme songs to pop and punk covers with friends. In my early twenties, I played in several bands and immersed myself in the live music scene, which was a great experience but often came with late nights and long hours.

During this time, I also began exploring electronic music more seriously, acquiring my first proper setup: a Kawai keyboard, Technics sequencer, Alesis HR16 drum machine, and a Yamaha MT100 4-track recorder. These tools opened up new possibilities and inspired me to experiment with electronic music production and midi-based compositions.

A lifelong fan of science fiction, fantasy, and cinematic soundtracks, I soon found myself gravitating toward composing thematic music. Movies, being my second greatest passion, heavily influenced the direction of my creative work.

In my 30s, life’s demands shifted my focus toward career and family, but my love for music never waned. Entering my 40s, I had the opportunity to refocus, acquiring new gear and fully committing to my musical development. With the help of modern technology, I now have a home studio where I can bring my musical ideas to life with greater precision and depth.

My current setup includes a Korg Triton LE, Cubase 12, Nektar LE88, Steinberg UR824 interface, and an array of VSTs such as Kontakt, Halion Sonic SE, Retrologue, and EastWest Symphonic Choirs, among others. This home studio, built over nearly a decade, allows me to push creative boundaries and explore new sounds and compositions.

Based in Liverpool, I’m currently writing is almost every style. Rock songs for my band Inner Fire. Pop tracks inspired by the 80's and 90's. Theme music inspired by film and literature with the aspiration of one day scoring a full-length production. 

Since joining SoundCloud, I've had the privilege of connecting with talented musicians and creative minds from around the world. One of the most fulfilling collaborations has been with John Styles, where we’ve explored a wide range of musical genres. 

I’m also proud to serve as the principal composer for Music for Brains, a project dedicated to healing through music and creativity. Working on this project has been deeply rewarding, as it has allowed me to connect with individuals on an emotional level, crafting compositions inspired by their stories.

I’m always open to feedback and collaboration, as it helps me refine my craft. While working in the music industry is a dream, I am also a grateful family man, and the support of my loved ones plays a crucial role in fuelling my passion. I am thankful to have such a strong network of family and friends who encourage me to keep pursuing my musical ambitions.

If you're in need of music for a production or project, feel free to reach out. I would be excited to contribute my creativity and help bring your vision to life.

Thank you for taking the time to explore my music—I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Matt
