about

Tommy Countach's new single 'Alright' is serving a mix between Synthwave and Nu-Disco with sonical influences from late 70s and early 80s funk records. In the song he sings 'I wish I was better, (...) I wish it didn't matter' hinting at the urge to let loose in a highly demanding society. The dilemma to hide weaknesses and feelings to stay competitive and respected, but also knowing it is wrong and unhealthy. Nevertheless during the production phase Tommy changed the song from a ballad to a danceable mid tempo track to give the listener a more hopeful experience and bring an almost ironic context to the lyric.

'Alright' was written, recorded, produced, mixed and mastered by Tommy in his home studio in Berlin. Typical funky 70s Prophet 5 chords meet a synthwave-ish rolling bass provided by an old school Nord Lead 2x. The synth lead was created with a classic Oberheim accompanied with disco style electric guitars and an iconic digital Wavestation Clavinet.

lyrics

[LYRICS]

My back pain is getting worse with each double shift
My mind is getting sore, but I pay my bills
The alarm clock rings, it's 7:25
I put my dreams on snooze but that's alright

And I wish I was better
I wish I was clever
High up the ladder
Wish it didn't matter

I've been holding on forever
Took the blame so I could let go
I don't wanna waste all my life
Pretend it's gonna be alright

I've been holding on forever
Took the blame so I could let go
I don't wanna waste all my life
Pretend it's gonna be alright

There's so much left to say, but yeah I'm fine
I know you don't wanna know but that's alright
I hold my breath, forget what's on my mind
I guess we all got strugs, but that's alright

And I wish I was better
I wish I was clever
High up the ladder
Wish it didn't matter

I've been holding on forever
Took the blame so I could let go
I don't wanna waste all my life
Pretend it's gonna be alright

I've been holding on forever
Took the blame so I could let go
I don't wanna waste all my life
Pretend it's gonna be alright

And I wish I was better
Had a sold out show
I wish I was clever
Not another John Doe
High up the ladder
And keep my head down low
Wish it didn't matter

I've been holding on forever
Took the blame so I could let go
I don't wanna waste all my life
Pretend it's gonna be alright

I've been holding on forever
Took the blame so I could let go
I don't wanna waste all my life
Pretend it's gonna be alright
Go…!

Pretend it's gonna be alright

Pretend it's gonna be alright
