LYRICS
ACCOUNTABILITY - DeLila Black
Have you no shame?
You know you should when you recall all the things you say.
When you recall all the things you do who gets the blame.
It's always the same.

Have you no shame?
I know you do when thinking of all the measures that you took
To be absolved, who is at fault? Everyone but you. It's never you.

You blame your mom, your dad, the childhood you never had,
your friends, your fears, your thoughts.
It's all the heart break to blame. Everyone but you. It's never you.

What do you think about, what do you figure out
as you wonder how this came to be?
Do you ponder when you wonder before you fall gently to sleep?
And in the night do you awake
because your mind is all a flutter with all these things?
Does accountability come one day to everyone but you?

You blame your mom, your dad, the childhood you never had
your friends, your education.
You blame your job, your home, your kids, your wife,
the law, the church, your god, your life,
the way you feel today, the love that let you slip away,
your fears. Your validation:
It's all the heart break to blame.
Everyone but you. It's never you.

Tales of a blonde wig

Babs , releasing on June 11th 2021, is a song that takes you to a happy place. Depicting the scene of a music lover listening to old and new records with in their home, the song takes you to a moment of freedom and pleasure. Just imagine dancing in your room to one of your favourite albums and you'll understand! With ever present soft'n'sweet vocals 'Babs' leans towards a more pop infused electronic, hiphop production in which the duo hope to share some of their musical joy with the listener, and truly welcome in the UK summer time!

Babs

This song is all about the uncertainty, that comes with being in the early stages of developing a crush on a close friend. It's about going back and forth between being convinced you're falling for each other, and questioning whether the relationship is at a 'red light' or a 'green light'. Making you question what you could do to get to some clarity. It's about that classic weird in-between state of not knowing, but riding the wave to see where it goes. A mellow soul song for the summer feels.

‘PAYDAY’ is the relentless first single from Minas’s debut album “All My Love Has Failed Me”

‘Payday’ incorporates a clash of punk and electronica that James Minas as a producer has crafted over the course of three years alongside his band (bassist Bob Williams and drummer Greg Davies).  It’s a skewed sideways track with a simplistic yet aggressive bass and drum combination sitting unrelentingly under a strung out, spitting vocal performance.

Taking influence from the DIY punk of Shellac and experimental electronica from Burial, Minas has combined a wide lineage of influence, as well as considering new sounds and messages from the likes of Slowthai and Sleaford Mods. This combination, plus further strong inspiration from The Prodigy and Deftones, makes up a musical, lyrical and thematic basis on which Minas has threaded through stories both grounded in his own reality and conjured up to reflect the state of society.

‘Payday’ digs into frustration and angst with a crooked grin attached. Self deprecating humour describes an almost idle boredom marked by depravity and desperation. Its chorus speaks to the title “I get paid Friday, trust me I am good for it” Minas howls over the increasing noise of his band. 

The last year has been Minas’s most prolific, releasing two singles ‘Drinker’ and “Burner” (both with forward thinking music videos and playlisted by Dummy magazine) as well as the EP ‘Nudge’, written, recorded and released in a span of a couple of months in lockdown. Minas was also granted BBC Horizons Launchpad funding in cooperation with the Arts Council Of Wales. This has afforded him the opportunity to create a unique recorded live show during a time where his charged, manic, crowd-fueled sets aren’t possible. Set within the walls of a circus rehearsal space in what was once a Cardiff chapel, the three piece band played through the album to no one. The show is set to be released with the album later this year.

LYRICS

I was dragging my ass across the floor like a dog, mate.
You got like 4 and I’ll pay you later? Mate?
He was like “you’ve had 6 off me this week bruv!” Mate!
Ha this tolerance mate it’s gone up init.
Though…

I get paid Friday, I get paid Friday, I get paid Friday.
Trust me I am good for it.
Trust me I am good for it.
I get paid Friday, I get paid Friday, I get paid Friday.
Trust me I am good for it.
Trust me I am good for it.

My housemates staying in his room,
We’re blasting tunes, I mix up codeine in the kitchen while he munches his noodles.
My parents were punks and I’m being youthful,
What is this revelation, we’re all stuck on phones, you’ll get run over,
I used to break shit to fix things.

I get paid Friday, I get paid Friday, I get paid Friday.
Trust me I am good for it.
Trust me I am good for it.
I get paid Friday, I get paid Friday, I get paid Friday.
Trust me I am good for it.
Trust me I am good for it.
