about
A slice of future-funk, ‘The Ones Who Really Matter’ straddles the gap between the classic pop vibes of French House and contemporary dance music. With a thundering sing-along chorus, chiming synths and (yes) a suitably groovy bass solo, the end result is as catchy as it is summery, even as it hides more complex ideas beneath its bright major key funk.
The tune looks towards what it's like living in a world where communication is so accessible to the point of losing connection. The extreme of this becomes the self delusion that we matter only when we are called upon, only when we are summoned by people's impulses to connect rather than establishing fulfilling and lasting relationships.
The dichotomy of ‘The Ones Who Really Matter’ is being so connected, yet so alone.
(So yeah, we can have a conversation about social media).
It’s also fully Dancefloor Ready (TM) and appropriate for foot-moving and hip-shaking.
Produced by rising star Tevlo (also of V O E, Fugue State) and released on Futuresounds, ‘The Ones Who Really Matter’ is sure to stir your soul and get your heart racing.
lyrics
Take your time to strap you to a mind exhilaration
Affiliation with me and all the unseen you see
You like commiserations, that with complications
Another one in compilation, with just the right ovation
Did you know that when you go
That no one's gonna help you sing along and along?
Because someone you know, has got another show
And it's going around and around and around
A distant space, in another place
Find us here, 'cause we're the ones who really matter
Attuned to every sound, with darting eyes around,
We got nothing to lose, ‘cause we're the ones who really matter
A distant space, in another place
Find us here, 'cause we're the ones who really matter
Attuned to every sound, with darting eyes around,
We got nothing to lose, ‘cause we're the ones who really matter
Ease into the world, a fleeting new sensation
Eyes and minds align you, paths lead towards perfection
If what you want is more and it shakes you to the core
Then keep on escalating, all the ups and downs elevating
Did you know that when you go
That no one's gonna help you sing along and along?
Because you know what you show, always go with what you know
And keep it going around and around
A distant space, in another place
Find us here, 'cause we're the ones who really matter
Attuned to every sound, with darting eyes around,
We got nothing to lose, ‘cause we're the ones who really matter
A distant space, in another place
Find us here, 'cause we're the ones who really matter
Attuned to every sound, with darting eyes around,
We got nothing to lose, ‘cause we're the ones who really matter
Screens alight on the phone, seen tonight, always alone
Screens alight on the phone, seen tonight, always alone
Screens alight on the phone, seen tonight, always alone
Screens alight on the phone, seen tonight, always alone
I'm always alone
'Cause we're the ones who really matter
'Cause we're the ones who really matter
