Song of the Day: Wild Ones – Jason Ross, Nevve

“Wild Ones”, the fourth track on Jason Ross’s recently released Convergence EP is a beautiful example of a quality melodic dubstep track. Nevve’s vocals are transcendent as always adding just the right amount of lightness on top of a bright chorus. Take a listen and check out the lyrics!

Wild Ones Lyrics

I been out here running and trying and running to find it
The wilderness inside of me
Yeah I been out here running and trying and fighting
To find who I can be, yeah

Cuz I was lost but now I’m found like gold inside a mountain
And in your wild I could drown like water in a fountain

Show me worlds you hide away
Darkness fades, I’m wide awake
I was lost but now I’m found like crystals on a crown

So promise we’ll stay young forever
Through the thrills and the adventures
For a million miles together, you and me
Let’s be wild
Let’s be wild
Let’s be wild
Let’s run wild, let’s run wild…

Cuz I was lost but now I’m found like gold inside a mountain
And in your wild I could drown like water in a fountain

Show me worlds you hide away
Darkness fades I’m wide awake
I was lost now but now I’m found like crystals on a crown

So promise we’ll stay young forever
Through the thrills and the adventures
For a million miles together, you and me
Let’s be wild
Let’s be wild
Let’s be wild
Let’s run wild, let’s run wild…

Song of the Day: Shadows – Seven Lions, Wooli & Amidy

Song of the Day: Shadows – Seven Lions, Wooli & Amidy

Seven Lions, Wooli, & Amidy teamed up for their new melodic dubstep track “Shadows”. Starting off slow with melancholy vocals, it quickly evolves into Seven Lions signature style with the inevitable heavy drop a la Wooli. The pacing of the kicks at the start of the chorus draws out the synth line beautifully and the trilling sound during the breakdown seals things in perfectly. Check out the song and the lyrics below!

Shadows Lyrics

Tell me now
When it all broke down
Was it just lies and lullabies to make me stay?
I thought I knew
Every shade of you
But I can’t color in the lines you always break

And as we fall apart
It all unravels secrets in the dark

When I look back at what we had
All that I let go is nothing but shadows, woah
You fade away in the light of day
You’re all that I let go, nothing but shadows
Woah, shadows

You’re all that I let go, nothing but shadows
Woah, shadows

You’re all that I let go, nothing but shadows
Woah, shadows

Shadows

When I look back at what we had
All that I let go is nothing but shadows, woah
You fade away in the light of day
You’re all that I let go, nothing but shadows
Woah, shadows

You’re all that I let go, nothing but shadows
Woah, shadows

Shadows
Shadows

You’re all that I let go, nothing but shadows
Woah, woah

Song of the Day: Drown the Sky (ft. RØRY) – William Black

Song of the Day: Drown the Sky (ft. RØRY) – William Black

William Black isn’t a well-known DJ/producer (yet), but his emotional, heartfelt style, similar to Illenium and Dabin, is becoming more and more popular. Originally out of Orange County, California, he’ll be with Illenium on tour through the end of 2019.

“Drown the Sky” speaks to the struggles of addiction, as this is something that both he and vocalist RØRY have had to deal with in the past. He explains, “Right before I got sober, I had this moment where I finally realized that I couldn’t go on with all the pain I was causing to myself, and more importantly, those who cared for me. In that moment I finally wanted to change. RØRY had recently gotten sober and we connected having been through such a similar experience despite our different backgrounds. The hope is that ‘Drown The Sky’ helps others to know they’re not alone and that there is a way forward.”

“Drown the Sky” lyrics:

Breathe it in, breathe it out
The  weight of it all puts me on the ground
Nothing  but darkness all around
Empty bottles of bitter pills
Gimme the poison, we’re going down
Me  barely breathing, the only sound

Ooh,  will you hold my hand as I’m falling?
Ooh, I can hear the darkness calling

Tonight  we’re gonna drown the sky
Raise your glasses one last time
When we’re down from this high
You won’t find me by your side
Tonight  we’re gonna drown the sky
Drown it in the blood-red wine
When we’re down from this high
You won’t find me by your side
So let’s drown the sky tonight

So let’s drown the sky tonight

Now I’m blind, I cannot see
With or without you I’ve gotta leave
Find my way back so I can be complete

Ooh, will you hold my hand as I’m falling?
Ooh, I can hear the darkness calling


Tonight we’re gonna drown the sky
Raise your glasses one last time
When we’re down from this high
You won’t find me by your side
Tonight we’re gonna drown the sky
Drown it in the blood-red wine
When we’re down from this high
You won’t find me by your side
So let’s drown the sky tonight


So let’s drown the sky tonight
So let’s drown the sky tonight
So let’s drown the sky tonight

Song of the Day: Gold (Stupid Love) – Illenium & Excision

Song of the Day: Gold (Stupid Love) – Illenium & Excision

The new Illenium and Excision collaboration just dropped this morning and it is some of what the best the two artists have to offer. Featuring vocals from Shallows, “Gold (Stupid Love)” starts with a dark guitar riff, typical of Illenium. Moving into the melodic dubstep sounds that both Illenium and Excision are known for, the song explodes in depth and power. In songs like this, the vocals are generally meant to accentuate the melody and drums, and that’s what we have here. The secondary drop seems to have more of an Excision influence with how gritty it is. It’s incredibly fun to hear these two artists play off of each other’s strengths so well. The hype around this song’s release was clearly justified.
