about
The new single ‘You and I’ is the first release of 2022 by UK-based songwriter and producer Marc Matthews, via Retro Reverb Records, and precedes a debut EP release in spring 2022. The song ‘You and I’ is a modern synthpop song that retains the warmth and vibe of classic 80s synth ballads, coupled with modern pop vocals and production. ‘You and I’ is a synthpop ballad with a dark edge that shines a light on the theme of control within a relationship and the loss and void left by it. ‘You and I’ is for fans of modern synthpop production with a dark twist and acts such as Nina, Haim, Halsey, and Wolf Alice.
lyrics
VERSE 1
Every now and then I drive around into the dark
hoping that you’re sitting at a bar with a broken heart
everywhere I go you’re like a ghost, don’t make a sound
PRE
I don’t think just do what I do
you’re so bad I don’t care what I lose
my head my heart still wants you
I don’t speak I’m losing my breath
I can’t keep my hands off your chest
too deep, not hard to confess
CHORUS
It was so easy for you to leave me
how could you let go said that you need me
you’ll never find somebody that will feed your
ego ego
baby, you need to know to be open
maybe you’re hearts already been stolen
If you’re not with me you’re hurting someone else, and it hurts like hell
VERSE 2
Slipping to the way I used to be you had control
now I know I don’t need anyone to make me whole
you’re the one I wanted and sometimes I want you back
but not like that
CHORUS
It was so easy for you to leave me
how could you let go said that you need me
you’ll never find somebody that will feed your
ego ego
baby, you need to know to be open
maybe you’re hearts already been stolen
If you’re not with me you’re hurting someone else, and it hurts like hell
BRIDGE
Going nowhere
but you take me there
get so many
wrapped up in you
going nowhere
you take me there
I’m not fighting
while you’re still lying
CHORUS
It was so easy for you to leave me
how could you let go said that you need me
you’ll never find somebody that will feed your
ego ego
baby, you need to know to be open
maybe you’re hearts already been stolen
If you’re not with me you’re hurting someone else, and it hurts like hell
