YourEnigma - Maybe in Michigan (Ft. Sprocket) | Bojack Horseman | Yourenigma 2018-09-23 | NEW EP 'Plastic Smile' - yourenigma.bandcamp.com/album/plastic-smileA chill, lo-fi jam inspired by some other horse show. Maybe you've heard of it. It's pretty good. And by pretty good, I mean Bojack's exploits are a glorious, challenging, beautiful train wreck I relish watching 25 minutes at a time. I recommend you do the same.Show some love to Sprocket who did some beautiful guitar work for this track: youtube.com/user/sdoggingsworthBreaking the silence with this: the first single from an upcoming EP titled: "MUTT", and you can expect it at some point next year. More information on that later. I recently got a new job (teaching music production, which is a dream I am still pinching myself over) which has eaten up a lot of my time as of late, but as usual, long though the silence may be, the jams keep coming.I truly hope you enjoy this simple, fuzzy jam.Lyrics:Maybe you'll think of meWhen you are all alone.Maybe the one who iswaiting for youwill prove untrueThen what will you do?#BojackHorseman #lofi

I truly believe it represents some of my best work to date and I truly hope you enjoy what I have to offer. To kick things off, I could think of no better track than this: My own rendition of the infectiously swinging "King Dice" theme from the game Cuphead. The tempo is kicked up a notch with instrumentation which I hope is reflective of my deep respect for acts like Caravan Palace and The Swingrowers.Many of you who know of my affinity for swing music and electro swing as a genre probably saw this coming. Late to the party as usual, but I hope to make an entrance! If you like what you here, I HIGHLY encourage you to take a listen to the rest of the LP linked above and consider giving it a purchase. From Future Bass to Electro Swing, I think it covers a broader range of tastes.Background artwork credit goes to - http://oldtimetikiparlour.com/2015/12/old-time-music-wallpaper-from-the-tiki-parlour

Like breathing out and breathing in. I've grown accustomed to the mood swings whenever they begin. This is an album of snapshots of mood and tone and I feel it represents a consummation of the more recent developments in my sound. What originally began as a return to the roots of my jazz inspired romps expanded to encapsulate a variety of musical influences: some original, some intentionally pastiche. Due to the nature of preordered independent content, please be aware that the track list, titles and order may be subject to change upon the final release.
The Room - Schmoyoho - Tearing Me Apart (YourEnigma Remix) Yourenigma 2017-12-16 | Oh hai, Guys. I'm sure some of you have a lot of questions given that I haven't been very active over the past few months, but let it be known, I'm alive and well. Moreover, while my professional career has taken over MOST of my life, the jams are still happening. Yes, including that EP I teased a million years ago.For now, though, have a taste of a joke that got a little serious. I've always been a huge fan of The Room; ghastly cinema at its finest. With the release of The Disaster Artist and the renewed interest in the film itself, I found no better time or setting to have some devil-may-care fun with this film. Then, there's Schmoyoho's hilarious and masterful remix, something so gloriously infectious, I had to give it my own Orchestral/Future Bass spin because....why not, Lisa? As silly as this particular entry my be, I truly hope you enjoy this little experiment and look forward to the promise of more jams in the new year!
YourEnigma - Tell Me Why (On Hold VIP) Yourenigma 2017-07-13 | Yes. This is sort of a remix.Yes. I've wanted to do this for a while.Yes. I will be performing a Bronycon. Again.Once again back from the dead, ladies and gentleman, but this time I bring tidings of the familiar in the guise of something new. This is the second single I am excited to share from my upcoming EP "Mood Swing" which with any luck, should be available by the time Bronycon rolls around. More updates pending. Just the same, I hope you enjoy this little Future Bass/Jersey Club spin on an old classic.
YourEnigma - Mood Swing (EP Prerelease) Yourenigma 2017-03-14 | "Her ups, her downs, they're second nature to me now. Like breathing out and breathing in."Mood swings. We all have them with varying degrees of amplitude. This upcoming EP is an exploration of those ups and downs which weave into the fabric of our emotional experience. The idiom is largely jazzy as I reconcile with some of my roots while still trying to shake off this damn delicious obsession with thematic and motific nods to Undertale. Can't help it. Won't apologize for it.Now let's jam.
YourEnigma - Emerald Eyes (Feat. Kate Wild) Yourenigma 2016-12-28 | Bandcamp - yourenigma.bandcamp.com/album/ours-is-an-odysseyiTunes - itunes.apple.com/us/album/ours-is-an-odyssey-ep/id1190562092The road to any worthwhile destination is never promised to be straight or short; the unpaved stretches and tortuous chicanes demanding our determination and our patience. But embedded in that journey are the formative experiences which strengthen our bonds, enliven our narratives, and maybe with enough luck, produce that happy ending. I happily extend this album as a birthday gift to my pup pup and boyfriend, Rick. Hope your health doesn't deprive you of a little birthday cheer!Album art credits: probablyfakeblonde.deviantart.com ________________________________________________________________This track is probably my favorite of the lot for a handful of reasons. It also stretches out my Korg Minilogue a bit more. Sink your teeth into the grit of that bassline! I truly hope you enjoy this and the rest of the album.
YourEnigma - Ours is an Odyssey (Feat. Veela) [EP Now Available!] Yourenigma 2016-12-24 | Bandcamp - yourenigma.bandcamp.com/album/ours-is-an-odysseyiTunes - itunes.apple.com/us/album/ours-is-an-odyssey-ep/id1190562092Just a fun little detail about this track in particular: ALL synth elements featured in this track were created on a Korg Minilogue. I ain't no shill, but that thing rocks HARD. Progressive house isn't a genre I typically approach, but I wanted to attempt something which reflected the influence of Deadmau5, an undeniably important figure in the development of my interest in electronic music and by practical extension, analog synthesis. Hope you enjoy!________________________________________________________________The road to any worthwhile destination is never promised to be straight or short; the unpaved stretches and tortuous chicanes demanding our determination and our patience. But embedded in that journey are the formative experiences which strengthen our bonds, enliven our narratives, and maybe with enough luck, produce that happy ending. This EP is about one of those journeys; a collection of songs for and about a special and beloved friend, with whom that journey continues. Because ours is an odyssey. Get the point? Good. Let's dance.Album art credits: probablyfakeblonde.deviantart.com This EP is inspired by and dedicated to my dearest pup pup: Richard, without whom, I'd no longer be able to hear the notes.

Hope you enjoy what you hear!This track is one of my personal favorites on the EP and represents both the quirky and passionate sides of nascent but emerging romance. I've found much to relate to and appreciate between these two characters. The music comes along in waves of intensity. The opening theme, with its bouncy, nervousness represents our lovable nerd, Alphys. The quirk is cast away by pure muscle and sparkly visuals as Undyne flexes in her combative splendor. Things settle down as a tender moment is shared between characters who, despite their differences and WILD eccentricities, indeed find pleasure in propinquity. So turn out the lights and quit starin'!Also, give plenty of love to Ambunny for her art which I think perfectly reflects the surprising tenderness found between this pairing: http://ambunny.deviantart.com/art/Undertale-spoilers-Some-cute-girls-on-a-date-566420650

Vylet - Little Dreams (YourEnigma Remix) Yourenigma 2016-06-21 | Hug Vylet. DO IT: youtube.com/user/MusiciansOfPonyvilleThen buy his album, which this remix appears on!: vyletpony.bandcamp.com/album/super-pony-world-deluxe-versionBeautifully amazing arts by Milkrainn!: http://milkrainn.tumblr.com_________________________________________________________________You can hug me, too, if you want...:youtube.com/user/Yourenigmatwitter.com/YourEnigmaMusic_________________________________________________________________So what's all this then? About a month ago, as Vylet was building up hype for his incredible new album, he approached me with the paternal responsibility of providing a remix for it. I happily obliged and selected the popular "Little Dreams" as my template.But as for my approach, I really sought to tap into the sounds, textures and orchestrations of past works. Namely, the Tavi and Scratch series. I think this is a voice which still comes naturally to me and which gives me great cathartic joy to produce. When reflecting on the themes of the original track, images of Asriel from Undertale kept flashing in my mind. While honoring the original narrative of the song, I couldn't help but find it intertwined with my headcanon for this beloved character and so, interwoven in this remix is an ode to joy, an ode to the bittersweet and an ode to the hopes and dreams we carry with us, be they big or small.I'm very proud of this one. I truly hope you enjoy it and big thanks to my boy Vylet for letting me put my spin on this wonderful song. _____________________________________________________________Lyrics:The world is caught up in in its strifeThe Newborn pays its unborn lifeEverywhere there’s complicationsI’m just left in thoughtOh little dreamsLittle dreamsWon’t you come backand torture me?Lovely dreamsHappy dreamsWon’t you show me what used to be?Every day I’m cryingEverything gets on my nervesEverypony stares andI’m really tired of their words I’m jealous and incompetentMy hopes have all faded fastLook inside my broken heartNo one could make it lastOh little dreamsLittle dreamsWon’t you come backand torture me?Lovely dreamsHappy dreamsWon’t you show me what used to be?

Come and see me do a thing!The track itself is a crossover of sorts and I'm very interested to see what you fellows can piece together of its little story from the lyrics. Vylet was super cool to put his funk on this one, as well! This is the start of something even greater, my lovelies.__________________________________________________________________Lyrics:My world was still in hues of black and whitebut the way that you move won't let me sleep tonightYou're shakin' me upwon't leave me aloneLet's calm these nervesThrow this dog a bone and then we can-inhale-And take a tokeThen make your move,nice and slowI'll let you choosehow fast we go.Help me see in technicolor.-inhale-And hold your breathThen wipe your eyes,while we decompressI'll let you choosehow fast we go.Help me see in technicolor.You help me see in technicolor shadesIn Technicolor shades.
YourEnigma - Unity (EP Out NOW!) Yourenigma 2016-03-26 | Buy yourself some Unity!Bandcamp - yourenigma.bandcamp.com/album/unityiTunes - itunes.apple.com/us/album/unity/id1145994618"Unity" is an upcoming EP reflecting changes in place, mindset and aesthetic. It is also an EP about second chances and the opportunities which follow them. It is NOT simply an Undertale remix album, though many of the game's themes, both musically and narratively, inspired its creation and many motifs find their way into the compositions. This represents a taste of what's to come later this spring. I truly hope you enjoy "Unity", both the song and, soon enough, the EP. Apologies for the rather long Hiatus, folks. I've been incredibly busy dealing with some changes and new developments in my life including a new apartment and thus, a completely new work space to create in! Now that I'm back up and running, you can expect more content on a more consistent basis moving forward. Heck, I may even do a little video tour of my new workstation should there be interest in it.
YourEnigma - Undertale - Unity (Preview) Yourenigma 2016-01-14 | Undertale? Under construction. Kids like you...should stay tuned.
YourEnigma - Tavi and Scratch - Are We Insane? (Feat. Eile Monty) Yourenigma 2015-12-06 | Buy the jam here: yourenigma.bandcamp.com/track/are-we-insane-ft-eile-montyor here: itunes.apple.com/us/album/no-horseplay-ep/id1058674285Follow Eile Monty!: youtube.com/user/EileMontyVAtwitter.com/EileMontyFollow Me: youtube.com/user/Yourenigmatwitter.com/YourEnigmaMusic______________________________________________________________The uptown girl's upper crust visage faltered as she stiffened her upper lip. The on-again, off-again dynamic of a most improbable relationship had weighed on her once formidable conscious as, backed into a vulnerable corner of her mind, she contemplated how it got to this point. Not very long ago, those with her particular predilection would have been called "insane" by peers and professionals alike. It was only now, as she picked up the phone to dial that familiar number, she was finally starting to believe it. ______________________________________________________________Sorry this came so late after the rest of the album, folks. Part of it was a matter of personal and professional obligations getting in the way. But I also wanted to distance this single's release from the album at large to let is speak on its own merits. The song deals with some themes that are a little personal, but I hope it resonates with all of you as an anthem illustrating the difficulties inherent in confronting deeply repressed feelings.With that said, Eile and I are happy to present this collaboration to you! And what a performance she delivered! It was an absolute pleasure and honor to have her onboard for this project, demonstrating a power and range I still believe is unmatched in this community and well beyond it.I am sure many of you have already purchased the album this is from, but I still recommend taking a peek at the iTunes link and dropping a rating and review. It helps the cause!Artwork by the incomparable zoxxiify.Lyrics: I must've lost my mind That's what they'll tell me (that) "It's all a waste of time Girl, you clearly aren't thinking straight" But I know that this is real It's no illusion and I can't apologize for all this confusion. I don't know the meaning, and I can't give the reasoning, but I will testify you're on my mind give me some time to process everything I'm feeling because you know I'm reelin' from the reality that we could be something more, no! Are we Insane?! Stay tucked inside my mind, Don't let it out yet. They can't hate what they can't see I know I'm just buying time And I know you're worth the risk Nothing can change that Are we ready to commit? I wasn't prepared for this I don't know the meaning, and I can't give the reasoning, but I will testify you're on my mind give me some time to process everything I'm feeling because you know I'm reelin' from the reality that we could be something more, no! Are we insane?! Are we Insane-----?!

YourEnigma - Echoes Of Her (No Horseplay Prerelease) Yourenigma 2015-09-06 | Listen here, too: soundcloud.com/yourenigma/echoes-of-her-no-horseplay-prereleaseSoon, my lovelies. Soon...------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Amidst aggressive, archetypal thumps of kick and snare, somewhere beneath the burbling of the bass, the contrived coolness, and the bespectacled eyes, echoes of her still reverberate.
Steven Universe - Stronger than You (YourEnigma Mini Remix) Yourenigma 2015-07-29 | Soundcloud link: soundcloud.com/yourenigma/stronger-than-you-yourenigma-mini-remixFree Jam Download - yourenigma.bandcamp.com/track/stronger-than-you-yourenigma-mini-remixWhere to begin? How about with an apology. Due to a few outstanding circumstances, "No Horseplay" is On Hold, if you will. At least until the end of August. Trust me, though, it'll be worth it, ho ho.So what is this, then? Well, I've been watching Steven Universe for a good bit lately and was always tickled by this tune featuring the character Garnet. It's so very, very "Just the Two of Us" but dammit, it has undeniable charm. As usual, you'll find a mixture of styles under the hood. Stems for her vocals don't exist and I didn't just want to paint by the numbers, so I didn't utilize the entire song, hence a "mini" remix. Frankly, I'm not super duper happy with the mixdown as it turned out, but I had a lot of fun with this, so take it all with a pinch of salt and enjoy the (short) ride.More jams to come as the summer winds down.
YourEnigma - Funky Girl (No Horseplay EP Single) Yourenigma 2015-06-03 | A wild, new EP approaches! Get hype, get funky, but no horsing around, y'hear?!This track will likely be the third of five and features some crunchy vocals originally sourced from a collaboration between Nowacking and myself. If you haven't heard that 'All About that Bass' parody, take a look see. It also represents a retrospective of sorts with plenty of nods to some of my older styles from a few years ago. A sincerely hope you enjoy "Funky Girl" and moreover, hope you will look forward to "No Horseplay" when it releases this July!

"UPTOWN FUNK" IS OWNED BY MARK RONSON AND PUBLISHED UNDER SONY ENTERTAINMENT UK. SUPPORT THE OFFICIAL RELEASES HERE: youtube.com/watch?v=OPf0YbXqDm0 and HERE: itunes.apple.com/us/album/uptown-special/id943946661My love for this song knows no bounds and the first time I heard it, I had an inseparable image of Spike strutting to it, like Dragon on retirement...or something of that sort. Lots of electro swingy sampling in this one as well as some tasteful, funky wubbery in the mix. If I can be honest, I was a little disappointed with the quality of the acapella I acquired, but I think I made the best of it. I hope you agree and I hope you enjoy some Uptown Funk!Plenty more music on the way in the upcoming months!Spiketastic artwork by the venerable Garrett Gilchrist - http://tygerbug.deviantart.com/art/Spike-Noir-275085880
YourEnigma - City 17 - Makin Good Time (Enigmatic Bootleg) Yourenigma 2015-01-26 | FREE jam download - yourenigma.bandcamp.com/track/city-17-makin-good-time-enigmatic-bootlegAnd Soundcloud - soundcloud.com/yourenigma/city-17-makin-good-time-enigmatic-bootlegLet's talk about City 17. http://www.facebook.com/City17Official They are a duo of electro producers whose music I ran into some weeks ago. I absolutely loved the vocals on this track "Makin' Good Time" but was unable to find an a cappella, so this shall be my first venture into Bootleg remixing; that meaning that the segments with the vocals were sourced directly from the original mix itself, not an official or extracted a cappella. It made for an interesting experience and some compromises had to be made in the mix, but I am still hoping you enjoy my take on "Makin' Good Time" by City 17. More original music to come soon, my lovelies. Let's talk about Synthesia. That is the name of my new Moog Sub Phatty, a 100% analog synthesizer I acquired over the Christmas holiday and I have been positively itching to put through her paces. Working with analog gear is something new to my workflow and so it was quite a process learning how it was done. However, it is my hope that the effect is somewhat more organic than my previous work. ALL synths that you hear in this remix were created with the Sub phatty. Isn't she crunchariffic?!lyrics:Even though we're miles... away, i still feel the light. I can feel the touch... of day, driving trough the night. Even though the stars... are out, im feeling days go by. It's all fallin' down around us... but we're making good time. We're making good time...

Overall, I was immensely impressed with the lot of them. There is no better feeling as a creative person than to see your art give inspiration to others.This first one was my second winner and can be found on "The Call" EP at the link above. Remixed by the venerable Jonny Siebs, this rendition of "On Hold" is all about minimalism and absolutely crisp production. The plucky joviality of this remix is just infectious and is guaranteed to earn a smile. I hope you enjoy it and make sure to give Mr. Siebs some love on his channel!

YourEnigma - Tavi and Scratch - Follow you Down (Feat. Castwing) [EP Release!] Yourenigma 2014-11-12 | From "The Call" EP. Get it here! – yourenigma.bandcamp.com/album/tavi-and-scratch-the-callFollow Castwing! - youtube.com/user/CastWingOutFollow me on the tubes - youtube.com/user/YourenigmaFollow me on the tweets - twitter.com/YourEnigmaMusicDrama subsides and wounds heal as two weary hearts find their way back to one another in a glossy-eyed reconciliation. This chapter of a pairing most peculiar ends in solace and resonance as a DJ and a classicist find new artistic horizons through a union tested by distance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------It’s been a glorious ride, guys. I’ve taken such incredible pleasure in sharing this story of mine with you all. Through it, I’ve uncovered much about myself as a musician and even more so as a producer and I still identify strongly with the characterizations depicted in this EP. I hope you enjoy it!And Oh my GOODNESS, give it up for Castwing and his lovely performance in this final chapter. His vocals, for me, had a naturally emotive quality that really demanded my attention and he put in an incredible amount of work to see this track through to its conclusion. For that, I thank him deeply.The album is a compilation of all the tracks in this most recent narrative thread of the Tavi and Scratch series. It also includes the three Remix contest winner’s contributions! Check them out!Lyrics:I recall what you said, Ri-ght before you left. You said that you’d go this one alone. You told me to call But weren’t there at all Cuz Your voice was replaced by that busy tone. (But!) First it wasn’t so bad All the freedom I had “It’s not like I needed you”, oh no. I guess things have changed Since we were estranged But this time I’ll stand by your- side--- I’ll Follow you down--- yea Tavi you know that I’ll----follow you, wherever we go the music’ll grow Follow--- I’ll Follow you down, yea Tavi you know that I’ll follow you wherever we go, I'm stayin' close Fol-low you down---we can Let the music drive us harmonies to bind us You and I----we can, Keep this one a duet Put some funk into it. Stand by me----and we’ll, Set this town on fire Take the music higher Share the stage, be-cause We ain’t flyin’ solo If you go I’ll follow you Down--- Take a look at us now, I can’t imagine how, We managed to come this far so fast Don’t you love the sight, Of our names in lights? And you thought this combo wouldn’t last. So let’s light up this place With a cello and bass It’s just you and me onstage, tonight When that curtain calls And after silence falls I know that I’ve still got you by my, side--- I’ll Follow you down--- yea Tavi you know that I’ll----follow you, wherever we go the music’ll grow Follow--- I’ll Follow you down, yea Tavi you know that I’ll follow you wherever we go I’m stayin’ close

YourEnigma - Tavi and Scratch - Redial (Feat. LeafRunner & Nowacking) Yourenigma 2014-09-22 | From the NEW album!: yourenigma.bandcamp.com/album/tavi-and-scratch-the-callFollow Leafrunner!: youtube.com/user/LeafRunnerMusicFollow Nowacking!: youtube.com/user/NowackingIn celebration of 11,000; read it again, Eleven THOUSAND lovely subscribers, I decided to do something I promised I never would: make a remix of my own work! A double VIP remix, as it were. We’re approaching the end of this particular chapter of the Tavi and Scratch series, with one more single to come out to wrap up our story as it is now. That’s still in the works, but in the meantime, chew on this wackiness for a bit.Both Rhyme Flow and Nowacking have been doing their part to get “On Hold” performed live at all the big conventions (most of which are too far away for me to attend :-( ) so it was an absolute pleasure to get in touch with Nowacking and have her lend her Vinyl Scratchiness to this remix. And then there’s Leafrunner, a wicked guitarist and an excellent composer in his own right. Definitely check out his channel with the link above!Title card art was actually a reappropriation of an older work by Zedrin which was originally inspired by another one of my songs. The circle is complete. http://zedrin.deviantart.com/art/The-things-we-do-for-Wub-348623492
YourEnigma - Wish (Make a Wish Remix) Yourenigma 2014-08-07 | The Track - yourenigma.bandcamp.com/track/wish-make-a-wish-remixJoin me on a musical trip through the psyche of a genuine birthday grump.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Another year older, but still not feeling a day over 21. I don’t really make wishes anymore, but then, who does, really? Seems rather childish. Still, I wish my hair were straighter, I wish my skin were darker, I wish I were smarter, I wish I were a better musician. But even a lot simpler than all that, I wish this would make you dance.Once upon a time, I made the mistake of teasing you guys with a remix I wasn't sure I was going to realize. This is mostly because I don’t really do a lot of remixing and prefer to keep things original. But inspiration struck a while ago and LO, a Wish came true. I had a lot of fun making this remix my own and I hope you enjoy all the bits and bobs.

YourEnigma - Follow this Preview Down (WIP w/ Scratch Vocals) Yourenigma 2014-07-14 | These do NOT represent the final vocals (the final will have a different vocalist altogether) NOR the final mix at all and I'm aware of all imperfections herein, but I was so pleased with my friend's scratch vocal takes I just had to make a little rough preview for you guys to chew on. He's not even remotely a brony, so getting him to say "Tavi" on record was a personal victory. Baby steps...Also, New Logo by the fantastic Stoopidcomics! http://www.makeitstoopid.comSo follow me down this summer, my lovelies...
Its my Birthday!... (Your Old Enigma) Yourenigma 2014-06-10 | Let's party! Or maybe I'll just take a breather on this rocking chair, here...I dunno. Leave a comment. Maybe I'll give something away later on...ho ho.
YourEnigma - Tavi and Scratch - Ill Come Running (Feat. Lady Aria) Yourenigma 2014-05-07 | From the NEW Album!: yourenigma.bandcamp.com/album/tavi-and-scratch-the-callLady Aria: youtube.com/user/LadyAriaPhantasyWeeks turned to months as a grueling concert schedule among the bustle of the Canterlot elite left the cellist too breathless to bask in adulation. Yet as tired as she was, sleep simply wouldn't come. Weary, moistened eyes again turned to the display on her phone and scanned the list of messages. It had been a week since her falling out with the DJ, and she couldn't shake the feeling that she needed to take some kind of action. The umbrage she took towards being called "uncaring" and "indifferent" still lingered with her. But even stronger was the urge for reconciliation. What a bizarre friendship this had turned out to be. Or maybe it was something more altogether? She bit her lip. Whatever the case, she knew this much: it was something worth running for.---------------------------------------------------------------------For this track, I really wanted to show a different side of Octavia. I wanted to break that infinite classy-cool of hers, if only for a minute (or five), to reveal a character who is more vulnerable and whose feelings are expressed with a little more vehemence. You could consider much of this track an internal monologue of sorts.MASSIVE Kudos go to Lady Aria who lent her voice in this track and gave a wonderfully powerful performance.Lyrics:I'm lyin' in bed, can't sleep/cuz I'mTryin' to think, when did we last speak?I left you on hold? So untrue.Just been working so hard, like you know I do.It's taking a toll, it seems.And our friendship is cold, with how long it's been.I need you to know, just thisIt's not only you who's feelin'/it'sAlways hard when we'reMiles apart!/but don't you start/ thinkin'I'm not there for you!I'll come runnin', yea, I'll come runnin' to you!I'll come runnin', yea, I'll come runnin' back!I'll come runnin', yea, I'll come runnin to youI'll come runnin'! Vinyl,It's not fair!/You sayin'I don't care! You just/-say the words,/ to me andI'll come running , I'll come running!Don't you dare!/go sayin'I don't care! I'll always be there! for you,I'll come running, I'll come running!I'm packing my bags, tonight.Put rehearsals on hold, til' I make this right.The train leaves at four, there's still timeI can't wait anymore, to say what's on my mind.But what could this mean? It's surreal.Going out of my way, 'cuz of how I feel.And what will they think of me?When I say it's you I'm runnin' to!I'm not scared! /and myHeart's laid bare/SoWait just there/andI'll come straight to you.I'll come runnin', yea, I'll come runnin' to you!I'll come runnin', yea, I'll come runnin' back!I'll come runnin', yea, I'll come runnin to you!I'll come runnin'!
