Needing Me Now – Blake Stokes

The artist unfolds his spontaneous, authentic and personal creativity in two minutes of Electro Pop magic and strong percussion.

Lyrics of Blake Stokes – Needing Me Now
Things change
People grow up and they grow apart
Lose faith
And dive right into someone else’s arms
You could’ve gave it a chance
I had my heart in your hands
Never told me the plan
No, oh
Is he everything you wanted, can he love you the same?
Does he promise you forever, while he’s taking my place?
Took one night for you to take back all the things we would say
Tell me what that’s all about
Why aren’t you needing me now?
Woah, woah
Woah, woah
Woah, woah
Sometimes you give it your all but it’s just not enough
Sometimes you gotta bring hell onto someone you love
But if you’re having regrets don’t call me to get you
Been trying to get well but goddamn it’s too
Hard to be fine but I’ll never be
No I’ll never be with you gone
Is he everything you wanted, can he love you the same?
Does he promise you forever, while he’s taking my place?
Took one night for you to take back all the things we would say
Tell me what that’s all about
Why aren’t you needing me now?
Woah, woah
Woah, woah
Woah, woah
Why aren’t you needing me now?
Woah, woah
Woah, woah
Woah, woah
Why aren’t you needing me now?

On My Grind – Drew Drake
“Ωραία και δυναμική μελωδία με ατμοσφαιρικό χαρακτήρα και με μια ανησυχία που σε παρασύρει. Τα ευκίνητα και γοητευτικά φωνητικά σε γαληνεύουν με ένα δικό τους τρόπο, ενώ το ύφος διαμαρτυρίας σε αφυπνίζει. Ο ρυθμός αρμονικά γεμίζει το χώρο με την ενέργεια του και σε αφήνει ανέμελα να λικνιστείς μαζί του.”

The River Song – Open Road Folk Music
“Эта акустическая композиция словно нежный ветер, обнимает слушателя, унося его в мир, где каждый звук — это шаг по открытой дороге. Гитара, играющая мягкие, но выразительные мелодии, создает фон, на котором разворачивается история о поиске свободы. Текст песни, как поэма, рисует картины природы: бескрайние поля, горные вершины и тихие реки, которые становятся символами внутреннего путешествия.”

Save Me – TEMIL
“Ωραία και ζωντανή μελωδία που με τη φρεσκάδα και τη δροσιά της μας κάνει να νιώθουμε πιο αισιόδοξοι και δυνατοί. Ο έντονος
και ευκίνητος ρυθμός μας καλεί σε ένα ξέφρενο χορευτικό ταξίδι, όπου μυαλό και ψυχή παραδίνονται σε αυτόν. Μαγικές εικόνες έρχονται να μας συναντήσουν και να μας δείξουν πως όλα μπορούν να συμβούν.”

Motionshine – Mario Verandi
“Φανταστική μελωδία που η ενέργεια της μας δημιουργεί ενθουσιασμό και αφήνει τα συναισθήματα μας ελεύθερα να σχεδιάσουν το δικό τους κόσμο. Το μυστηριακό και υπερκόσμιο ύφος της κάνει τα προβλήματα μας να μικραίνουν και το μυαλό βλέπει πιο καθαρά την πραγματική μας υπόσταση. Ο αρμονικός και ήρεμος ρυθμός χαλαρώνει κάθε σημείο του σώματος μας.”

Misty Blue – Felt Mix – Mark Sutton
“Η ησυχία της φύσης υποδέχεται με χαρά την υπέροχη αυτή μελωδία. Γλυκιά και αισιόδοξη είναι σαν να μας περιγράφει την απίστευτη ομορφιά της πλάσης και το μυαλό μας γεμίζει όμορφες εικόνες. Με ένα μαγικό τρόπο μας ισορροπεί από τα σκαμπανεβάσματα της ψυχής μας και ο ρυθμός παιχνιδιάρικα και ήρεμα μας καθησυχάζει.”

Temporary – Kylie Rothfield
“Ένα μοναδικό κομμάτι που ξεχωρίζει από την πρώτη στιγμή και θέλεις να το ακούς ξανά και ξανά. Τα αριστουργηματικά φωνητικά σε μαγεύουν με την υπέροχη χροιά τους. Είναι ακριβώς αυτό που θέλεις να ακούσεις. Η μελωδία ανοίγει διάπλατα τα παράθυρα της καρδιάς σου και είσαι έτοιμος να δεχθείς την αγάπη. Ο ροκ ρυθμός σε απογειώνει λίγο πριν παραδοθείς στα πιο όμορφα συναισθήματα σου και σου δίνει φτερά.”

Lyrics of Kylie Rothfield – Temporary
Walking on state street
i know that you hate me
But we’re on the same team
Everyone changes
When they’re having a drink
So go to bed early
I’ll stay in your city
Cause i love it more than i love you
Yeah i love it more than i love you
Cause i love it more than i love you
You can’t afford to take me out
I’ll get high so we can mess around
You’ll probably still let me down
I blocked your phone on saturday
I keep on calling anyway
We’re always acting like it’s not
Temporary
Came to your door
At five in the morning
Just for the story
At least you can say that
You have never been bored
We could go dancin
But that never happens
You only date me in your living room
You can’t afford to take me out
I’ll get high so we can mess around
You’ll probably still let me down
I blocked your phone on saturday
i keep on calling anyway
We’re always acting like it’s not
Temporary
You can’t afford to take me out
I’ll get high so we can mess around
We’re always acting like it’s not
Temporary
I blocked your phone on saturday
I keep on calling anyway
We’re always acting like it’s not
Temporary
