New Drum is a somewhat ambitious song as it pushed my pretty far out of my comfort zone as a producer I really had to grow some new skills. It is an activist alt pop \ alt dance track with synths and beats galore, with an important message at its core.
New Drum
​
You got something to say
But your battling this new age
Look around you can hear them calling someone else’s name
You might think that time has past
But there’s wisdom in the lines you laugh
You thought this wasn’t your game
But the world won’t sleep
The starving eat in your dreams
And there’s access to all we need
But the wealth it is shared out wrong
And what’s the use of a song
But its the only move I can make
Watch as I play
Sing along to the melody of this move I make
Watch it decay
We’ll dance to the beat of a new drum
Of a new drum
Of a new drum
Of a new drum
Of a new drum
So what’s the use of the judge when the jury’s out in session
When the opinion of the one is enough to break
They said sticks and stones can only break your bones
But it’s the names we just can’t shake
But the world won’t sleep
The starving eat in your dreams
And there’s access to all we need
But the wealth it is shared out wrong
And what’s the use of a song
But its the only move I can make
Watch as I play
Sing along to the melody of this move I make
Watch it decay
We’ll dance to the beat of a new drum
Watch as I play
Sing along to the melody of this move I make
Watch it decay
We’ll dance to the beat of a new drum
Of a new drum
Of a new drum
Of a new drum
Of a new drum
New Drum New Drum New Drum New Drum

So do all you can do
To make someones life better
Even the smallest mistake can throw a life in the gutter
Don’t build towers for your own name
Turn and help your own neighbour
Because kindness can change more than you’d ever know
So do all you can do
To make someones life better
Even the smallest mistake can throw a life in the gutter
Don’t build towers for your own name
Turn and help your own neighbour
Because kindness can change more than you’d ever know
But the world won’t sleep
The starving eat in your dreams
And there’s access to all we need
But the wealth it is shared out wrong
And what’s the use of a song

Of a new drum

Of a new drum
Of a new drum
Of a new drum
