Never Back Down

Liner Notes

Back already!? Well yeah, of course, you wanted me to be gone? Well maybe.

Lyrics

You got both feet, off the ground
And the feeling that you had while you're walking on hot air
Is the same one that brings you down
But you still think that you're flying
And that is what gives you your mojo
And you still think that you're fighting
With your two black eyes and your teeth knocked out

Hey! Never back down
Wish I'd done that when I had the time
Hey! Never back down
Wish I'd done that when I had the time

Feeling? There's a feeling, one that I can't quite describe
And I wish that I could shrink you down
So that you could crawl into my ear
Is it pandering? Or meandering? Oh baby don't bring me down
Is it feeling, surprised? If you find yourself now
Unexpected behavior from simplified systems
Is that really what makes your head spin?

Hey! Never back down
Wish I'd done that when I had the time
Hey! Never back down
Wish I'd done that when I had the time

Hey! Never back down
Wish I'd done that when I had the time (Hey! Never back down)
Hey! Never back down
Wish I'd done that when I had the time (Hey! Never back down)

Really unusual backing track that jumps out at the listener and grabs their attention like the Ancient Mariner! I don't know what makes me say this, but I feel if I had to categorise this, I'd say it was Elvin Rap!

The bass and the synth riff that complements it is excellent. Your vocal delivery in the verses had me thinking of LCD Soundsystem, but maybe that's just 'cos I recently watched their Glastonbury set. The chorus is nice and hook-y. The pandering/meandering rhyme is cool.

Oh, thats great! First: never saw anybody useing the word „meandering“ but me! 😃
Second: fantastic how you talk/sing beside the rhythm and also tight (if that makes sense).
Third) love the lyrics plus the uplifting sound! It grooves!
