What’s Done Is Done Lyrics – Seven Lions, HALIENE

I can hear it in the silence
In a world that’s divided, oh
‘Cause I can’t live without you
And I’d die if I had to
(And I’d die if I had to)

It’s taking me over
Like rain in the sun
(Like rain in the sun)
I don’t understand it
But what’s done is done
So I run to you when the tears won’t stop
Nothing else to do
When I’m falling in love, falling in love
It’s taking me over
And my war is won
What’s done is done
What’s done is done

What’s done is done
What’s done is done

What’s done is done

It’s like your heart is an ocean
In the waves I am floating, oh
‘Cause your voice is the echo
In the valleys of my soul

It’s taking me over
Like rain in the sun
I don’t understand it
But what’s done is done
So I run to you when the tears won’t stop
Nothing else to do
When I’m falling in love, falling in love
It’s taking me over
And my war is won
What’s done is done
What’s done is done

What’s done is done

What’s done is done

What’s done is done

Brighter Side Lyrics – ARTY

Waking up in the wave of the darkness
Holding on so I don’t float away
Coming back from a crash is the hardest
Can you stay

Ooh ooh
You know how to hear me
Ooh ooh
You know what to say
Always there, always know where my heart is
Can you stay?

Show me light when I’m lost in the shadows
Show me life when I’m scared
Always there, that somebody to show me the brighter side

The brighter side
Know that

So much space in the way when you’re not here
Pull me through to the stars, to the place
That we go, can we go? Wanna ask you
Can you stay?

Ooh ooh
You know how to hear me
Ooh ooh
You know what to say
Always there, always know where my heart is
Can you stay?

Show me light when I’m lost in the shadows
Show me life when I’m scared
Always there, that somebody to show me the brighter side

Somebody
Somebody
Somebody
To show me the brighter side
The brighter side

To show me the brighter side

Somebody
Somebody
Somebody
To show me the brighter side

Somebody
Somebody
Somebody
To show me the brighter side
The brighter side

Somebody
Somebody
Somebody
The brighter side

Song of the Day: Bad Habit – Firebeatz

Song of the Day: Bad Habit – Firebeatz

Released in 2020, “Bad Habit” by the Dutch duo Firebeatz takes the listener on a semi-groovy, semi-house journey. Firebeatz has the talent to cross genres easily and “Bad Habit” is a fantastic example of this skill. The track showcases a soul-style vocal track combined with a smooth piano line before adding in more traditional house synths and bass. Take a listen and add it to your mid-party playlist!

Bad Habit Lyrics – Firebeatz

Hoo yeah, oh yeah

It’s 2 a.m., who’s that ringing my phone?
It’s you explaining why you don’t want to be alone
Now I should hang up after what you put me through
There’s no reason for me to talk to you

Except that no one else makes me feel the way you do
It’s a shame boy, but my heart is hooked on you
When you been doing me wrong ever since I left you in, yeah
But it’s your love that thrills me to no end

I got a bad, bad habit baby
Baby it’s you, baby it’s you

I got a bad, bad habit baby
Baby it’s you, baby it’s you

I got a bad, bad habit baby
Baby it’s you, baby it’s you

I got a bad, bad habit baby
Baby it’s you, yeah, baby it’s you

Bad, bad habit baby (Bad, bad habit baby)
Bad, bad habit baby (Bad, bad habit baby)

It’s 8 a.m., who’s knocking at my door?
It’s the lady for you boy, now I can take no more
She said that you’re her man, that she came to take you home
Didn’t you tell me that you were all alone?

And why there’s no one else make me feel the way you do
It’s a shame boy, but my heart is hooked on you
When you been doing me wrong ever since I left you in, yeah
But it’s your love that thrills me to no end

I got a bad, bad habit baby
Baby it’s you, baby it’s you

I got a bad, bad habit baby
Baby it’s you, yeah, baby it’s you (Baby it’s you)

When you been doing me wrong ever since I left you in, yeah
But it’s your love that thrills me to no end

I got a bad, bad habit baby
Baby it’s you, baby it’s you

I got a bad, bad habit baby
Baby it’s you, yeah, baby it’s you

Bad, bad habit baby (Bad, bad habit baby)
Bad, bad habit baby (Bad, bad habit baby)

Song of the Day: Remedy (ROY KNOX Remix) – William Black, Annie Schindel

ROY KNOX’s melodic dubstep take on William Black’s “Remedy” balances bright synth sections with heavy-hitting dubstep breaks for a remix that carries you emotionally from start to finish. This track actually came from the remix contest that ROY KNOX entered. Safe to say he nailed it. Check it out with the original lyrics below.

For more William Black, check out “Drown The Sky” and his remix of LIONE’s “Glimmer”.

Remedy Lyrics – William Black, Annie Schindel, ROY KNOX

I got used to lonely nights and empty spaces
Didn’t think I’d need someone to do my saving
I was always running, twenty-something
Never found the right hands to put my trust in

Help me
I’m scared that there’ll be nothing better
Tell me
We can feel this way forever
Your eyes are staring back at me
Don’t let me crash, I’m in too deep
Help me
Tell me that you’ll be my remedy
Tell me that you’ll be my remedy
Tell me that you’ll be my remedy

Slowly I let go of what I held so heavy
Didn’t think this anxious heart could beat so steady
Talking till the sunrise, it’s so easy
First time in a long time, I’m just happy

Help me
I’m scared that there’ll be nothing better
Tell me
We can feel this way forever
Your eyes are staring back at me
Don’t let me crash, I’m in too deep
Help me
Tell me that you’ll be my remedy
Tell me that you’ll be my remedy
Tell me that you’ll be my remedy

I give in to how I need you
I keep falling, going all-in

Your eyes are staring back at me
Don’t let me crash, I’m in too deep
Help me
Tell me that you’ll be my remedy
Tell me that you’ll be my remedy

Your eyes are staring back at me
Don’t let me crash, I’m in too deep
Help me
Tell me that you’ll be my remedy

Song of the Day: Balearic Mornings – HI-LO & Reinier Zonneveld

Song of the Day: Balearic Mornings – HI-LO & Reinier Zonneveld

HI-LO, Oliver Heldens’ bass house moniker, and Reinier Zonneveld teamed up for “Balearic Mornings” which Oliver had this to say about:

[It’s] called ‘Balearic Mornings’, cause the track reminded us both of early mornings in Ibiza after a long night of partying, when the sun rises again.

It’s less dark than you’d expect from us, we went pretty melodic this one. Still has such a captivating drive though, we’re both super happy [with] it!

As compared to his recent HI-LO releases, like “Check“, “Balearic Mornings” is certainly more melodic while still being a step away from his typical melodic house style when he releases tracks under his normal name.

Reinier Zonneveld is a new name to me. He’s a Dutch producer who mostly focuses on techno and looks to have a few solid remixes to his name.
