Mermaid Energy (Single)

This is an edit of a song I did on a livestream a while back, but I added lots of guitar and vocals to make a wave. This is taken from the nearly 7 minute extended version, condensed to a shorter format, with the addition of bubbles, courtesy of Zander. Enjoy the ride!

This song was featured and reviewed in Portuguese on Heatwave radio and blog in Brazil!

This is an audio engineered cut from a live improvised performance by Norell. This is the extended version of this song!

lyrics

It's time to show up
It's time to glow up
Let's turn the sound up
And get it on tonight

I feel your rocket ship
We're gonna take a trip
Into the night sky
Where the stars so high
We're gonna take a trip

Let's go,
Let's go,
Let's go
There's a place I know
Let's go

I feel your rocket ship
Gonna take a trip tonight
You feel your rocket ship
Gonna take a trip tonight

It's time to glow up
It's time to show up
Let's turn the sound up
And get it on tonight
Take flight

(Ooooo
Ooooo
Ooooo)

Let's take a trip
On your rocket ship
Let's take a trip
On your rocket ship

There's a place I know
We gotta take it slow
Do you rocket ship take a trip?
There's a place I know
I'm gonna take it slow
And if we leave at the right time
We'll get to moonshine
We'll watch as the sunrise
Believe in the starlight

There's a place
So faraway
I wanna go
And see a show
Don't you, don't you wanna go?
Don't you wanna go?
Don't you wanna go?

And get it on tonight, tonight.

It's time to glow up
It's time to show up
Let's turn the sound up
And get it on tonight.

On Top (Extended Version) by The Band Famous

Awakening

Awakening is The Band Famous most ambitious project yet, with each track bending different genres. It is the 2nd musical album released by this power couple in rock'n'roll!

Self-produced and Los-Angeles based husband/wife production duo combine soul, hip-hop, rock and roll, EDM, and industrial sounds within the Awakening - EP.

We self-produced our album, and self-produced our music videos for every track off of our EP. We also made a short film, which includes the final music video for "Because" in a Matrix fan film titled "The Matrix: Because".

The song and music video for "Emotional Scatter" - the hit off the EP - was written, produced, and recorded while living in a car during a 2.5 year trial of homelessness, (which is talked about in our interview with Voyage LA) and later mastered and finished when the band opened The Band Famous private venue in Los Angeles.

A note: While the name of the EP is Awakening, the song "Awakening" is not part of this EP, but will be released in a future project.
