Lyrics:
I don’t know what’s inside of her, it glows at night
I can be beside of it and feel it’s alright
All alone I cared about some thoughts I couldn’t hold
Figured out I’m a part of it that keeps me tight

Go, but not too far
Be, but not a star
Sing, but nothing more
Than we can be

There’s a side a side of this that I keep alive
It’s a break from the rest of it that you know I hide
Out tonight I found the same fare that’s bought and sold
Just another sentimental take that’s sounding right

Go, but not too far
Be, but not a star
Sing, but nothing more
Than we can be

And you know the way I go
The music's changing
And you know the way I go
Nothing's changed

Go (But Not Too Far)

The song "Influencer" by Film School has been a big favorite on the Morning Show and so producer Owen Murphy hopped onto Skype with the band's singer Greg Bertens in Los Angeles and he was kind enough to let us deconstruct the song. But of all the songs one could choose to unpack, why this one? 

...well if you were to passively listen to this song, it would seem like a very mellow pop song. And in some ways it is. But it’s way more than that. Besides a very catchy, yet subtle vocal melody, on top what seems like a simple foundation of music, it is actually a very complicated arrangement. There are layers upon layers of sound, with dynamic changes in the arrangement happening in multiple places. 

So here's Greg Bertens of Film School who started by introducing the band's line-up.

Deconstructing "Influencer" by Film School
