INTERVIEW: All We Are

After I visited Liverpool, I am searching more and more about the music that is born there. Many artists and many bands, that are so talented are formed every day! I feel like the music tank of this area will never get empty! The band that is featured today on LOMW was formed in Liverpool and they asked all our questions here!
Lay back, grab a coffee and read the interview while you listen to their new song: Keep Me Alive! 


LOMW: Welcome on Lyrics On My Wall! Thank you for the fast response about this interview. Could you please introduce yourselves to our audience and then tell us from where exactly are you answering this Q&A?

AWA: Hi there, we're All We Are, coming at ya from our tour van somewhere in Germany, on our way to Hamburg. 

LOMW: You have all studied in LIPA. I guess this is your meeting point. What is the story of your band’s formation?

 AWA: We meet at first day in Uni and we really clicked, been best friends ever since! We started the band when we left university though. We wanted to stay in Liverpool and get involved in the scene here. We work very well musically, so here we are!

LOMW: Each one of you comes from different places. Brazil, Norway, Ireland. Does that add different cultural elements to your music?

AWA:  Not really, we all grew up listening to fairly similar things but of course our heritage will always be there. 

LOMW: Liverpool seems like one of the best music communities. Lately, we’ve seen historical music scenes to shut down after police raids, like the one at the Lomax. After that we witnessed a massive movement from musicians and people who loved the place in order to save the venue. What’s your opinion on that?

AWA: Lately we've seen a lot of venues close down around Liverpool that are really important to us. They close for various reasons and each one is a detraction from Liverpool's art culture. The mobilisation of the people to protest at this is part of Liverpool's heritage and in its blood. 

LOMW: Recently, a big music platform in Greece named you “Big in 2015”, how does it feel to become famous in different places on earth?

AWA: We're extremely happy that people enjoy what we're up to. We love writing tunes and playing live and that people now start to connect with it is huge for us. We want people to feel that they are part of it and we would LOVE to play in Greece

LOMW: We are living in the years of technology, what’s your relationship with it? Do you use the social media and in what way?

AWA: It's a good way to communicate with your fans. We're try to answer everyone that contacts us and wonder about stuff. It's nice to be nice. 



LOMW: How it feels to sell music online and on the other hand how it feels when your music is downloaded illegally? What future do you predict of CD or Vinyl format? Will ever digital music replace them completely?

AWA: Vinyls are special, they will never disappear, they are too pretty and sound great. People have predicted the death of CD's for ages now but it's still around... Illegal downloads, guess it's better to be heard than not and the more people that hear you will come to your gigs.

LOMW: What is your biggest dream in music as a group? Maybe a collaboration or being on tour with someone?

AWA: Think every musician would love to headline Glastonbury. Think that's as  good as it gets! But in saying that our biggest dream is to play The Royal Albert Hall with the London Philharmonic Orchestra. That would be epic!

LOMW: What are your plans for the future? What should your fans expect from you? 

AWA: As long as you guys keep listening we're going to keep writing tunes, keep releasing albums and play loads of gigs!

LOMW: Thank you for answering all these questions for Lyrics On My Wall. We wish you a year full of success and creativity! Stay cool and love music! 

AWA: No problems! Big love xx



All We Are-Keep Me Alive

I'm giving you more that I can take
Need you baby, I need you baby
Giving you more that I can face
Do you feel it, baby?
Do you feel it, baby?

I need you baby, to keep me alive
To keep me alive
I need you baby, to keep me alive
To keep me alive

Giving your colours to amaze
Need to face it, need to face it
Giving you pictures to portrait
Need to place it, need to place it
I hear nothing at all but your breathing
I hear nothing at all, nothing at all
Giving you more than I can fake
Do you feel it, baby?
Do you feel it, baby?

I need you baby, to keep me alive
To keep me alive
I need you baby, to keep me alive
To keep me alive

I hear nothing at all but your breathing
I need you baby, to keep me alive
To keep me alive
I hear nothing at all, nothing at all
I hear nothing at all but your breathing
I need you baby, to keep me alive
To keep me alive
I hear nothing at all, nothing at all

I need you baby, to keep me alive
To keep me alive
I need you baby, to keep me alive
To keep me alive

I hear nothing at all but your breathing
I need you baby, to keep me alive
To keep me alive
I hear nothing at all, nothing at all

Years & Years-King

They are the past and future in indie-electronic, as I like to say it. Years & Years formed back in 2010. From Australia to UK and from web to the shower, they found each other and since then, they create some of the best tunes in electronic genre, in my opinion anyway! They were named Big in 2015 from many sites and you will find the reasons once you listen to them. Years & Years were also nominated for the Critics Choice Award for the Brit Awards 2015. Their new EP Y & Y released in February 2015 and today we post here the song "King".  The very interesting music video with choreography that shows a very crazy or maybe schizophrenic King, who is under someone else's control! ;)
Check it out, here, on Lyrics On My Wall.


Years & Years-King

I caught you watching me under the light
Can I be your line?
They say it's easy to leave you behind
I don't wanna try

Come and take that test
Hold courage to your chest
Don't wanna wait for you
Don't wanna have to lose
All that I compromised to feel another high
I've got to keep it down tonight

And oh, oh, oh
I was a king under your control
And oh, oh, oh
I wanna feel like you've let me go
So let me go

Don't you remember how I used to like
Being on the line?
I dreamed you dreamed of me calling out my name
Is it worth the price?

Come and take that test
Hold courage to your chest
Don't wanna wait for you
Don't wanna have to lose
All that I compromised to feel another high
I've got to keep it down tonight

And oh, oh, oh
I was a king under your control
And oh, oh, oh
I wanna feel like you've let me go
So let me go

I had to break myself to carry on
No love and no admission
Take this from me tonight
Oh, let's fight (x4)

And oh, oh, oh
I was a king under your control
And oh, oh, oh
I wanna feel like you've let me go
So let me go

Let go, let go, let go of everything (x4)

Florence + The Machine - What Kind Of Man

We haven't listened something new from Florence and The Machine since their last album "Ceremonials". This album was all about death and water but this new album is all about learning how to live and how to love. In June, we expect their third album "How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful". The lead single came out with a surprising music video for the track "What Kind Of Man". In this music video, which was directed by Vincent Haycock, you will see Florence dancing, screaming, acting crazy, dreaming and fighting her own demons. Even seeing her naked adds quality in this atmospheric music video. The sound is epic and at moments you will feel intense electricity! Check it out on Lyrics On My Wall.



Florence + The Machine - What Kind Of Man

I was on a heavy tip
Tryna cross a canyon with a broken limb
You were on the other side
Like always, wondering what to do with life
I already had a sip
So I'd reasoned I was drunk enough to deal with it
You were on the other side
Like always, you could never make your mind

And with one kiss
You inspired a fire of devotion
That lasted 20 years
What kind of man loves like this

To let me dangle at a cruel angle
Oh my feet don't touch the floor
Sometimes you're half in and then you're half out
But never close the door

What kind of man loves like this
What kind of man
What kind of man loves like this
What kind of man

You're a holy fool all colored blue
Red feet upon the floor
You do such damage, how do you manage?
Tryna crawl in back for more

And with one kiss
You inspired a fire of devotion
That lasted 20 years
What kind of man loves like this

What kind of man loves like this
What kind of man
What kind of man loves like this
What kind of man

But I can't beat you
Cause I'm still with you
Oh mercy I implore
How do you do it
I think I'm through it
Then I'm back against the wall

What kind of man loves like this
What kind of man
What kind of man loves like this
What kind of man
