about

“To the Light” is a play on the direction light takes. Depending on what light is and where it comes from, the highlighted parts and the shadows are different. This leaves room for uncertainty. The Chorus contrasts this with the call for light and for energy. The four on the floor beat carries this call by pushing the energy to the maximum. The Reggae influenced bassline makes the genre of this song quite unique. The Song contains Disco, Drum & Bass, Jungle, Rock and Hip hop Sounds.

lyrics

Wavelengths 24/7
Steady changing
Light is always moving at its pace and
We can never catch it though we keep on chasing energy is always on the move
I feel true to what I do, but what is the truth
Is it what I think, what I feel, or something to choose?
And what is it to you, if you don't walk in my shoes
Cuz whatever is true to me may not be true to you too
Look toward the light the shadow lays behind
Turn around and you embedded in the shine
If you turn the light off, you are left with your mind
And if you got it in your face, well then the path is hard to find

Give me the sunlight
Give me the energy
I'm needing more life
I need a remedy
Give me the sunlight
Give me the energy
I'm needing more life

I keep on pushin’ and runnin’ and fightin’
I wanna get there before the sun sets
I know I am invited
I'm channeling the energies I hope the universe can see all the beauty within me
But at the end where will this lead
What will I be will I be free
Believe in the peers
A plan on the sheet
But not really living cuz I cannot listen to waves that are hitting my eyes and my ears
Waves full of tears
The bigger the wave the lower frequency
And then I‘ll see what I didn't feel
The I hears
