LYRICS:
Raise your head

Woke up in a foreign land
Didn’t recognise my home
TV says a stranger is my enemy
When I swear he is my friend
Demagogues and prophets in ascendency
They’re not speaking in my name
Come to me – and I will hold you as a brother
And I know you’ll do the same
(and so I say)
	You must raise your head, look up to the sky
	Or you and I will sleepwalk out into the danger
	You must raise your hands, to the other side
	Salvation only lies, in the eyes of a stranger
Woke up in a foreign land
Didn’t recognise my home
TV says my troubles are another’s fault
When I swear they are my own
Demagogues and prophets in ascendency
Say that we should be apart
Doesn’t take the news to tell you when a life matters
You know it in your heart
(and so I say)
Chorus 2	


(middle 8)
But all of the songs are, telling me, telling me
That all you need is love
And all of the songs keep, telling me, telling me
That we shall overcome
And all of the songs are, telling me, telling me
That we can make it through the night
And all of the songs keep, telling me, telling me
A million radios must be right!

You must raise your head, look up to the sky
	Or you and I will sleepwalk out into the danger
	You must raise your hands, to the other side
	Salvation only lies, in the eyes of a stranger

London-based music collective The Tribe of Good release their brand new single ‘Heroes’ on January 18 via Ultra Records. The track, which is an interpretation of David Bowie and David Eno’s 1977 classic ‘Heroes’, is the second single to be released from their forthcoming album succeeding the uplifting string-laced jam ‘Turning It Up For The Sunshine.’

Topped with extra sprinkles of cosmic electronica, The Tribe of Good have drawn musical influences from both vintage and modern day creative techniques to rework the classic and perform it in an entirely different way. “The backing track is contemporary electronica crafted by Michele Balduzzi (AKA Phonat - dubbed by Skrillex as the most underrated producer in the world) while the vocals are radically re-interpreted as a female vintage soul song, recorded entirely on 1950s equipment.” says Hal Ritson - the Grammy-nominated mastermind steering the group into the spotlight.

"The hallmark of a great song is that it can be performed in a totally different style, and not only still work, but can suddenly reflect new and different aspects of the writer’s original vision.”

When speaking about the track Ritson said: “We were drawn to Heroes as a song, because in this time of conflict and division people can often feel hopeless and insignificant. Bowie’s message that every one of us can make a difference in the world, in our own personal way, seems as vital now as the day it was written."

The Tribe of Good are the secret weapons behind your favourite chart hits. This sprawling supergroup combines vintage soul and disco with modern production techniques to create explosive retro-futurist fireworks that light up the pop horizon. Headed up by Grammy-nominated producer Hal Ritson (Dizzee Rascal, Chemical Brothers, Kanye West, Katy Perry, Duke Dumont, High Contrast,) the group’s ethos is one of unabashed positivity and brawny resistance. 

With producers Michele Balduzzi (Phonat - OWSLA), Rich ‘Fiasco’ Adlam (Nas, Cee Lo, Taylor Swift) and Thomas Gandey (Southern Fried, Suara) in tow – and a cast of musicians from Basement Jaxx singer Vula Malinga and Jamiroquai guitarist Rob Harris, to Ritson’s long-time drummer Alex Reeves, The Tribe of Good are the same people you hear day after day on hit records.

The Believers

Hal Ritson, co-producer and spiritual leader of @thetribeofgood, says of 'Broken Toys': 

"In these days when so much of politics, the internet and social media seems to be pulling people apart, I wanted to make a track that you just knew would make everybody smile and come together when they hear it. A slice of classic sunshine to cut through the negativity with pure joy.

“Clearly an homage to the sound of the early Jacksons records, the song was written with one singer in mind - Tribe member Eshan Gopal - a wonderful child singer from London, whom Berry Gordy described as the only person who had every truly captured the spirit of young Michael Jackson’s delivery.  

"This track, together with 'We’ve Got to Try' by @thechemicalbrothers (which also features Eshan and many of The Tribe Of Good performers) has been the last chance to capture this beautiful voice, before his voice breaks. The next time he sings a Tribe Of Good song, he will have a whole new voice!"

Raise Your Head

Woke up in a foreign land
Didn’t recognise my home
TV says a stranger is my enemy
When I swear he is my friend
Demagogues and prophets in ascendency
They’re not speaking in my name
Come to me – and I will hold you as a brother
And I know you’ll do the same
(and so I say)
You must raise your head, look up to the sky
Or you and I will sleepwalk out into the danger
You must raise your hands, to the other side
Salvation only lies, in the eyes of a stranger
Woke up in a foreign land
Didn’t recognise my home
TV says my troubles are another’s fault
When I swear they are my own
Demagogues and prophets in ascendency
Say that we should be apart
Doesn’t take the news to tell you when a life matters
You know it in your heart

And all of the songs keep, telling me, telling me

And all of the songs keep, telling me, telling me

You must raise your hands, to the other side
Salvation only lies, in the eyes of a stranger

LYRICS
25 Miles From Vegas

The morning glows
You know we got it 
There's no fear 
It's so clear to see 
Bought and sold
Still we got it 
Let go the chains 
Fall away from me

Feels like I'm 25 miles from Vegas 
Rolling high for a dream come true 
Feels like I'm 25 miles from Vegas
And I'll win big if I bet on you

Watch me now
You know we got it
Roll the dice 
Make a change and see

Just one dream 
You know we got it
Aces high 
Take your place with me

We don't need to wait for any signs 
Lift your head and do it with the tribe

Bought and sold
Heart and soul 
Let go the chains
Baby just believe 

Feels like I'm 25 miles from Vegas 
Rolling high for a dream come true 
Feels like I'm 25 miles from Vegas
And I'll win big if I bet on you

Feels like I'm 25 miles from Vegas 
Rolling high for a dream come true 
Feels like I'm 25 miles from Vegas
And I'll win big if I bet on you

Inna di middle ah di middle ah yuh mind
Everybody have someting to fight 
Eye spy with my lickle 
It no matter weh dem say
We haffi move forward everytime 

Inna di heart ah di matter 
Anyting dem have  
fi dem business dat
constant chatter change no matter
Action proper 
Bring in the show stopper 

Oh yeah 
Bet on you
You know this one is true 
Yes it's true 

Feels like I'm 25 miles from Vegas 
Rolling high for a dream come true 
Feels like I'm 25 miles from Vegas
And I'll win big if I bet on you

Feels like I'm 25 miles from Vegas 
Rolling high for a dream come true 
Feels like I'm 25 miles from Vegas
And I'll win big if I bet on you
