Hardbeat - Jamie Lenman

Soft sounds on the tip of my tongue

We communicate one on one

Get your ear pressed to the left of my chest and

Listen to my hardbeat, bump-a-bump-bump

Small speakers inside your head

About as intimate as it can get

I’m privileged to be in this position and

We haven’t really got thumping yet

I bubble up through your vein

Send sparks all around your brain

This rhythm is physical, digital

Something you just can’t explain

You’re plugging into my core

That’s what you press play for

Most records is notes and quotes and

I’m giving you so much more

Bang of the drum is my hardbeat

I want to make connections in

Far whereabouts I have not been

Stop into a town and take a look around and

Call folks I’ve never met my kin

Ten tracks into this LP

You start to feel you might know me

I tell truth in this microphone booth and

That’s how I wanted it to be

Bang of the drum is my hardbeat

Even if the message is for everyone

It’s also just for you alone

We’re separate times and places, worlds apart

But when you hear this song

That’s where we come together

Bang of the drum is my hardbeat

Surrender to my control

I sing direct to your soul

Become a piece of your whole and stay forever

You feel the bang of the drum

From where my energy come

I will deliver you some!
