Song of the Day: Horizon – Seven Lions, Tritonal & Kill The Noise

By 20-somethinglife | May 18, 2018

“Horizon”, a collaboration between Seven Lions, Tritonal, and Kill The Noise has been released and it is quite the interesting track. Listening through, it’s easy to pick out which act influenced each particular section. For example, the minimalistic breakdown after the first chorus seems to be where Kill The Noise put his stamp on the track as that’s neither a Seven Lions or Tritonal type sound. There seems to be less of a Tritonal influence on this song, given its melodic bass pace that is more true to Seven Lions, but we’re sure Tritonal made their impact melodically and with how the vocals by HALIENE are worked in. Take a listen!

Song of the Day: Happy Ending – Joe Garston

By 20-somethinglife | May 15, 2018

Joe Garston is not very well known but has put out a few great, under the radar tracks over the years. Our favorite is “Happy Ending” featuring vocals from Andrew Farr. Joe’s synths are uniquely his and the structure of “Happy Ending” is where they are really able to shine. It’s a fairly simple song, but its simplicity is what makes it so fantastic. In case you missed this one a few years ago, now is the time to check it out.

Lyrics:

And I’m always
Watching you
All those younger days
I was watching you

And I can’t breathe
When I’m close to you
And I don’t see
Anybody else when I’m holding you

Song of the Day: Worry – Felix Cartal ft. Victoria Zaro

By 20-somethinglife | May 9, 2018

Off of the Canadian producer Felix Cartal’s newest album ‘Next Season’ comes “Worry”, a smooth progressive house song with soothing vocals from Victoria Zaro. Felix had a huge year in 2017, capped in off with a nomination at the Juno awards for Dance Record of the Year for his track “Get What You Give”.

‘Next Season’ is a full, full album at 18 songs, but they are all certainly worth checking out. You can find the lyrics for “Worry” below.

It’s a slow day running in place
Making no pay trying to stay sane
Fluorescent haze
Needing some space from this refrain
Clouding my brain
Don’t want to stay, need an escape

Won’t let my worries
Won’t let my worries
Won’t let my worry’s weight
Hold me down, down, down
Won’t let my worries
Won’t let my worries, no
Won’t let my worry’s weight
Hold me down, down, down

I’m alright, I’m alright
Won’t lose my mind if I don’t let my worry’s weight
Hold me down, down, down
I’m alright, I’m alright
Yeah, I’ll be fine if I don’t let my worry’s weight
Hold me down, down, down

Hold me down, down, down
Hold me down, down, down
Hold me down, down, down
Hold me down, down, down
Hold me down, down, down

Another small fight with some cheap wine
Begging for time to go easy on me tonight
I know I can’t lie, I crystalize when I try
So put the bright lights right in my eyes

Hold me down, down, down
Hold me down, down, down
Hold me down, down, down
Hold me down, down, down
Hold me down, down, down
Hold me down, down, down

Won’t let my worries
Won’t let my worries, no
Won’t let my worry’s weight
Hold me down, down, down
Won’t let my worries
Won’t let my worries, no
Won’t let my worry’s weight
Hold me down, down, down

Song of the Day: Gecko (Overdrive) – Oliver Heldens

By 20-somethinglife | May 3, 2018

One of Oliver Helden’s first tracks that put him on the map, “Gecko”, later to be re-named “Overdrive” when the vocals from Becky Hill were added, clearly displays his early talents as a producer. A little background on this track: The Dutch artist, widely regarded as one of the pioneers of the future house genre, was signed by Tiesto’s label Musical Freedom after Tiesto heard this track. They later collaborated together to create “The Right Song”. Take a listen below!

The instrumental version is included in Ryse Radio Ep. 7, fitting together seemlessly with Jauz’s “Meant To Love You” as if they were meant to be together…
