inspiration



Lately I have been thinking about lyrics on techno tracks.While most techno tracks don't even have lyrics those who do, are aimed at the dancefloor or don't make sense. Anyway, this turned me back to the classics and it's not a coincidence that both tracks have that detroit soul and root.I'm talking about the Underground Resistance track - transition and Deetron's Life Soundtrack.Everyone's heard them but listen a bit more carefully.
On life soundtrack Dj Bone's vocal:

"this sound comes from dirt, pain, boredom, cold streets,
nothing from nothing to everything,
from frustration to innovation,
this sound makes you laugh,
makes you cry, makes you hate,
makes you stomp, makes you clap.
This music, deep down,
special place, special time, special sound,
lives forever - life soundtrack."

I mean those last lines.. ..so *uckin great.

And UR are preparing you for the time in your life that you will ask those questions (5 a.m. high in a dark rave :P)

"There will come a time in your life when you will ask yourself a series of questions.

Am I happy with who I am?
Am I happy with the people around me?
Am I happy with what I'm doing?
Am I happy with the way my life is going?

Do I have a life or am I just living?

Do not let these questions strain or trouble you just point yourself in the direction of your dreams find your strength in the sound and make your transition.
Do not spend to much time thinking and not enough doing.

Did I try the hardest at any of my dreams?
Did I purposely let others discourage me when I knew I could?
Will I die never knowing what I could have been or could have done?

Do not let these doubts restrain or trouble you just point yourself in the direction of your dreams.
Find your strength in the sound and make your transition.
There will be people who say you can't - you will.

There will be people who say you don’t mix this with that and you will say "watch me".
There will be people who will say play it safe, that’s to risky - you will take that chance and have no fear.
You wont let these questions restrain or trouble you. You will point yourself in the direction of your dreams.
You will find the strength in the sound and make your transition.

For those who know its time to leave the house and go back to the field.
Find your strength in the sound and make your transition."

Do u have a life or are u just living?

I remember transition from a Laurent Garnier mix for 10 years of The Rex club.Great track, awesome mix..When something is real it's timeless.
