about

Music can raise you to the highest peaks, and it can save you at your lowest times; these are some of the bands and artists that have sculpted us.

lyrics

VERSE 1
When my parents fought I wanted to break free,
That's when I realised Queen were the band for me.
And Guns ‘N’ Roses showed me a darker life,
Welcome to the jungle kid I’m sure you’ll survive.
The Red Hot Chilli's helped me through my first break up,
Might have some scar tissue but at least my head’s not fucked.
The Levellers taught me what was wrong and what was right,
And spiritual ways and that there's only one way of life.

CHORUS
So I’ll sing my blues away,
Another song of comfort,
Comes to save my day
And I’ll sing my blues away,
Another musical genius
Comes to save my day, again

VERSE 2
Nirvana helped me through my teen spirit years,
And when I was bullied Kurt was there to dry my tears.
And through school also I had Rage Against The Machine,
Take the power back against this grammar school regime.
Jimi Hendrix told me when the wind cried Mary Jane,
Time spent stoned and in a purple haze.
Foo Fighters saved me then when my best friend passed away,
Times like these that I needed Grohl to play.

MIDDLE-8
So you know what to do,
Sing away your troubles with the blues,
And you've had a bad day,
Put on some merry folk to play,
And people’ve pissed you off,
Then let out some aggression with hard rock
If society's let you down,
Then put on some punk rock really loud
And you'll sing along,
And maybe one day you’ll sing the words to my songs

VERSE 3
When electronic music became my thing,
Dancing and sweating became the way for me to sing.
And Nick Drake gave me the pinkest of moons,
Whilst hanging from a star on magical mushrooms.
Frank Turner told me the substitute for love,
And what the real damage was if kept using drugs.
But it was my own friends songs that really made me sing
Forget my worries, stresses at work and everything…EVERYTHING! EVERYTHING!
