about
This is me serving 80s faggotronica realness.
Uber-talented upcoming indie electronica artist Ignatius has given my track 'Not Around' a complete retro-camp makeover which he's described as, "kind of Pump Up The Jam mixed with Yazoo mixed with Madge mixed with bleeps."
lyrics
The song goes a little like this:
Every little thing that you say to me,
That you wanna do,
It don't mean a thing,
If you're not...
If you're not around...
If you really mean all the things you say,
What you gotta do,
Is to make change.
And learn...
Learn to stay around.
Verse:
I've had it with you,
And excuses.
You don't ever seem to be.
Anywhere I am without you
You don't ever make the time.
A million things are important
Than the time you spend with me.
I shouldn't have to be so jealous.
Of the hundred things you do.
Bridge:
No, you don't really want to be with me. (repeat)

'Not Around (Ignatius Remix)' - written by David Lim, produced by Ignatius.
I wrote 'Not Around' on 11 January 2011 as bit of a spontaneous Garageband project. The lyrics are reflections of a relationship where I felt neglected and tired of competing with the other person's busy lifestyle.
Remix artwork by Ignatius.
He says it's inspired by "Swing Out Sister video clips where all they do is galivant around London and New York whilst stupid 80s patterns are drawn over the video frames."
