"The idea behind 'Hearing Is Seeing' was to take a complex Music Theory device, like serial tonal structures, and make it feel more approachable. 

Along with that, the song was inspired by the idea of synesthesia (the phenomena of seeing sounds), in a few different ways. It’s a nod to the feeling of gaining wisdom, insight, and understanding from being open and listening deeply – but also, to seeing things first and hearing them second. 

Taking a more literal approach to the latter in this case, the harmonic structures that form the base of the song were designed to look aesthetically pleasing on paper. For example, in the chorus, the tonal centers for the chords are spiraling notes circling inward, and then the “B" sections of the song make use of symmetrical modes. 

But, perhaps more importantly – both the top-line and the groove of the track are there to glue it all together – to remind us to not get too caught up in all of the technical stuff that's under the hood here, and to instead just feel it."

VERSE 1
closer, crushing
over-loaded
solar loving 
flashing moments
glances stolen
time stands frozen
I am, falling

PRE-CHORUS
sound, all around I'm found
got me on the ninth cloud, the ninth cloud (X2)

CHORUS
I can feel my universe open up (open up)
I can feel it
Is this real? are you worth every bit of my love?

blow my mind, you've really got me going
lights collide like fireworks exploding
colourblind, I'm colourblind

BRIDGE
thoughts and motives
endless choices
slower, motion (Ooh)

VERSE 2
take it up light it up in front of me
feel the energy
you've got what I need
what's it gonna be?
give it up let it up cos you've got the key
you can set me free
gimme memories

don't let go
need you so
feeling you and all your vibes,
tonight

more than physical
I see your soul through your eyes

CHORUS (1x)

OUTRO
I want it
your love
you've got it
hurry up

112 kbps files for preview - don't be a dunce! 4 all things POOLS >>> @poolsmusic

For their first ever double-LP outing Razor-N-Tape presents POOLS, with a sun-drenched and laid-back collection of tunes called Innertubes. POOLS, the moniker of Los Angeles duo Thee Mike Bee and DJ Morsecode, craft a sound that conjures up the easy going swagger and soulful grit of the left-most coast. The first two sides of original versions read like an album, perfect for a lazy Sunday rooftop BBQ with beers, bros and blunts, (although no doubt some of these gems will find their way into DJs' warm-up and boom-bap sets). Sides C & D elevate the juncture to dance floor level, with smooth and varied remixes from RNT stalwarts Luvless and DJ Vas, plus label newcomers thatmanmonkz and Junktion.

POOLS - Sew Brand New

JazzyFunk, Stéphane Deschezeaux, Justan feat. Rahjwanti - Egotistical (Original Mix)

Da war ein Glanz im Glas, ein Wort, das leicht zerbrach,
Die Zeit verann, ein leises Ticken nur.
Sitz’ wartend am Rand von diesem leeren Tag,
Fühl mich verloren und von Dir ist keine Spur.
Das iPhone in meiner kalten Hand,
Darauf Dein Selfie stumm und unbewegt.
Ein viel versprechendes neues Land,
Das sich nicht auftut – es bleibt unerlebt.

Wo bist Du, fremder Tinder-Schein?
Soll dieses Warten ewig sein?
Fällt Dein Versprechen in den Staub?
Fällt sein Versprechen in den Staub?
Wie welkes, abgefallnes Laub?
Bin ich zu kompliziert, fehlt Dir der Mut?
Ist etwa mein Profil nicht gut genug?

Die Welt geht weiter, achtlos und geschwind,
Ein Drama, dem ich nicht mehr folgen will.
Ein Kind sieht mich, so fremd wie ich ihm bin,
Bewundert meine Ruhe, schaut ganz still,
Die Neugier in den Blicken, die mich streifen,
Sie sehen nicht den Abgrund, der in mir klafft.
Sie können das Unheil nicht begreifen
Und nicht erfassen, was Gelassenheit erschafft.

Wo bist Du, fremder Tinder-Schein?
Soll dieses Warten ewig sein?
Fällt Dein Versprechen in den Staub?
Fällt sein Versprechen in den Staub?
Wie welkes, abgefallnes Laub?
Bin ich zu kompliziert, fehlt Dir der Mut?
Ist etwa mein Profil nicht gut genug?

Vielleicht ist dies die Prüfung, tief und rein,
Nicht Dich zu finden, sondern Ich zu sein.
Die Stille wächst, wo eine weitere Stimme fehlt,
Die Ruhe ist nicht schön – sie quält.
Die Leere wird zum unendlichen Raum,
Und aus der Ruhe wächst kein neuer Traum.
Die Stille wächst, wo eine weitere Stimme fehlt,
Die Ruhe ist nicht schön – sie quält.

Wo bist Du, fremder Tinder-Schein?
Soll dieses Warten ewig sein?
Fällt Dein Versprechen in den Staub?
Fällt sein Versprechen in den Staub?
Wie welkes, abgefallnes Laub?
Bin ich zu kompliziert, fehlt Dir der Mut?
Ist etwa mein Profil nicht gut genug?

Der Screen wird dunkel. 
Akku leer. 
Kein Widerschein.
Ich atme aus. 
Und atme mich. 

Und bin allein.
