(I, I, I… I, I, I, I, I…) I appreciate you, and you appreciate me too, me too. It’s no secret that we’re alibis – if you wanna try, try. Don’t be afraid to speak your mind. We’ll appreciate each other’s company, company. Now come to me, come to me. Company, company. Come to me. Come to me. Company, company. Now come to me, come to me. Don’t you know? Can’t you feel the glow, glow, glow? I’ll show you. I, I, I… I’ll show you. I wanna know you. I would kiss you under a waterfall. (I, I, I… I, I, I…) I would kiss you under a waterfall, a waterfall, fall… I would kiss you under a waterfall. I would kiss you, or maybe not at all. I, I, I – I… I, I… I, I, I, I, I – I, I… Ooooh mmm.

Baby, baby, baby, I’ve got lazer eyes for your love. Going crazy, crazy, crazy, It’s never enough, never enough, never enough. Baby, baby, baby, I’ve got lazer eyes for your love. Gonna find you, find you, find you, Wherever you are, whatever the cost. You came around, Gave me a taste. Took up my time. Took up my time, time. The next round, Upside down. All turned around, But in a good way. Baby in a good way. I’ve got lazer eyes for your love. Crazy to this day, Can’t get enough. Baby, baby, baby, I’ve got lazer eyes for your love. Gotta have you, have you, have you, Come over here. Baby, baby, baby, I’ve got lazer eyes for your love. Gotta have you, have you, have you. Come over here. I need you today. And I need you tonight. I need you tonight.

Those eyes, no lies. Right to the heart of things. If not, cut ties. No time for broken dreams. Promises. Promises. Who you are... The way you say... Your words will go as far, Momentum of yesterday. Promises, Promises. Promises, Promises. Who you are, the way you say. Who you are, the way you say. Your words will go as far, Momentum of yesterday. Who you are, the way you say. Your words will go as far, Momentum of yesterday. And if you follow through In all matters of the heart. Who you are, the way you say Who you are, the way you say Who you are, the way you say Who you are, the way you say Your words will go as far. Momentum of yesterday. Your words will go as far. Momentum of yesterday. And if you follow through. And if you follow through. In all matters of the heart. Matters of the heart. Matters of the heart. You will be tried and true. You will be tried and true. Love and light don't fall apart. Love and light don't fall apart.

Emotional Scatter 05:03
lyrics
buy track
Emotional Scatter Brain susceptible to flatter Minds ever change Rearranged and estranged. What are you thinking? See you look without blinking. Walk in like you own the place Wanna wipe the smug off your face See, you’re not ahead in the race. Everybody paper chase How quickly will you reveal an ace? Count your cards and watch your step Pick and choose and place your bet There is no shortcut, no runaround. That trail will lead you straight into the ground. Rise up, be strong, and move along (x3) Far more than you know Sing a similar song (So) Rise up, be strong, and move along. Rise up, be strong. Rise up, be strong, rise up, be strong Rise up, be strong, rise up, be strong Rise up, be strong Far more than you know Sing a similar song Rise up, be strong, (yeah) rise up, be strong Rise up, be strong Far more than you know - Far more than you know Sing a similar song.

about

Awakening is The Band Famous most ambitious project yet, with each track bending different genres.

Self-produced and Los-Angeles based husband/wife production duo combine soul, hip-hop, rock and roll, EDM, and industrial sounds within the Awakening - EP.

We self-produced our album, and self-produced our music videos for every track off of our EP. We completed this journey of self-producing and self-releasing an EP of music with music videos in addition to a short Matrix fan film, The Matrix: Because.

The song and music video for "Emotional Scatter" - the hit off the EP - was written, produced, and recorded while living in a car during a 2.5 year trial of homelessness, (which is talked about in our interview with Voyage LA) and later mastered and finished when the band opened The Band Famous private venue in Los Angeles.

A note: While the name of the EP is Awakening, the song "Awakening" is not part of this EP, but will be released in a future project.
