about
ABOUT:
"Wishbones" takes listeners on a sonic journey of self-discovery and resilience. Blending vibrant influences from two-tone, acid jazz, and psychedelic hip hop, the track is a powerful ode to reclaiming creative freedom. With infectious melodies and driving rhythms, "Wishbones" draws comparisons to the genre-bending sounds of classic Gorillaz and contemporary Genesis Owusu.
This track emerged during a period of profound transition, clearing a creative block that followed years of navigating racism and feeling creatively suppressed in Berlin," shares Hang Linton. "The song captures my journey from the chaotic energy of the city to the serene isolation of a rural Scottish village, where the anticipation of parenthood provided new perspectives on life."
A meditation on finding solace in self-expression and confronting societal oppression, "Wishbones" explores themes of identity, resilience, and the healing power of music. With its pulsating bassline, soulful vocals, and psychedelic flourishes, "Wishbones" is an anthem for those who seek to break free from the chains of expectations and embrace their authentic selves.

LYRICS:
Dreaming of the new days
I’ve been on the chase so long
You’re scheming with your old ways
We get beat down stay strong
But I'm so tired of this city
Deep sleep please don't drown
Keep feet on the ground
So bleak each street in town
Its peak red bleep on sound
Struggle to find someone who aint struggling
Dont juggle round jobs for the lols
There’s rubble in my socks and I'm burnt out
I guess that's why I bar so cold
Shiver when I wake up
I cannot mistake the
Feeling in my chest, it won't rest
Can’t escape the
Voice on every corner that is begging for change
Getting restrained
Respecting the game and still aint getting deals dealt
Real help, I’ve felt like I'm hopeless
Got too many broke bits, can’t afford the
Superglue, super flu
Silly consumer blues
So I'm gone, uber me
Beam me up, to the new
Dreaming of the new days
I’ve been on the chase so long
You’re scheming with your old ways
We get beat down stay strong
But I'm so tired of this city
There must be some kind of way out of here
Wishbones and Lotto have lost the appeal
Stuck between the graveyard
And a hard place
Somewhere far from ideal
There must be some kind of way to the new day
Hear what my shoes say,
I'm not running away
Shine my boots, stand strong
Plant my roots, I belong
But you loose, do me wrong
You best hear me when I say
Dreaming of the new days
I’ve been on the chase so long
You’re scheming with your old ways
We get beat down stay strong
But I'm so tired of this city
Dreaming of the new days
I’ve been on the chase so long
You’re scheming with your old ways
We get beat down stay strong
But I'm so tired of this city
