Song of the Day: Good Parts – Justin Caruso

Song of the Day: Good Parts – Justin Caruso

“Good Parts”, the new single from Los Angeles native Justin Caruso, perfectly emphasizes one of the emotions after a break-up; remembering all of the good times had. For a relatively sad song, it’s fairly light and upbeat. Maedi, the vocalist also out of L.A. has the perfect voice and tone for this track. The smooth plucks in the chorus are slowly covered by a piano sound which then perfectly blends into a bouncy drop. He has an absolute talent for producing songs that get people dancing.

Lyrics:

It’s over now, we both know that
What we said in anger we can’t take back
But your t-shirt’s in the bottom of my dresser drawer
Since I’m sharing, I still wear it when I miss you more

Know you’re moving on
It’s what we gotta do
And I hope she loves you
The way I used to
Like the night we drove for hours
Just to see the view
Woulda gone with you wherever

There’ll be a day
When you say my name
And she’ll ask you all about us
When you explain
Yeah, how will it taste?
When you’re telling her how it was

So don’t you leave the good parts out
All the times I never let you down
Don’t you remember all the fun we had
Now you’re looking back
Was it all that bad?
Don’t you leave the good parts

Don’t you leave the good parts

Do you have to mention that fight we had?
Screaming in the kitchen over broken glass
You said your mother always thought I was the selfish type
So I called my ex ’cause I knew that’d ruin your night

There’ll be a day
When you say my name
And she’ll ask you all about us
When you explain
Yeah, how will it taste?
When you’re telling her how it was

So don’t you leave the good parts out
All the times I never let you down
Don’t you remember all the fun we had
Now you’re looking back
Was it all that bad?
Don’t you leave the good parts
Don’t you leave the good parts…

Don’t you leave the good parts
Don’t you leave the good parts
Don’t you leave the good parts

Song of the Day: GO OFF (Nuthin’ 2 It) – Dillon Francis

Song of the Day: GO OFF (Nuthin’ 2 It) – Dillon Francis

“GO OFF (Nuthin’ 2 It)” is the first release off of Dillon Francis’s upcoming mixtape. A departure from his foray into moombahton that he mostly focused on over the past year or two, this track is a fun mix of catchy vocals and deep house. Always the jokester, the vocals featured in this track are fun and somehow get you feeling hyped. It’s hard to tell where this track is trying to build to at first but once you hit the first minimal drop and hear that bassline, it’s impossible to not start dancing. Of course, the artwork for the track is nothing short of incredible as well.

Song of the Day: TIME – Alison Wonderland x QUIX

New from Alison Wonderland and QUIX, out of Australia and New Zealand, respectively, TIME is a beautiful, psychedelic take on future bass. Starting with a slow build with a sharpening synth, the first drop is a false drop that helps build the core of the song towards the true drop. The clock ticking sound fits perfectly with the song title and helps build that tension into a full release. This is the kind of song you’d hear at a festival and think “woahhh, what was that?!”.

What is a horseshoe? What does a horseshoe do? Are there any horse socks? Did I just post Ep. 10 and then immediately post Ep. 11? Is anyone listening to me?

We’re at Ep. 11. If you look back to our first episode, you’ll find it was a heavy dubstep mix, just like episode 11 is. Ep. 12 will have similar genres to Ep. 2 and so on, so you know what to expect.
