Rather Be

Posted in Media, Music, My Inspirational Voice, Westminster University by

Clean Bandit – Inspirational. Definitely up and coming this year. I think we will be hearing a lot more from them. This song touched my soul… the melody is beautiful too.

Clean Bandit, which includes brothers Jack and Luke Patterson, was formed when three of the members were at the University of Cambridge. Clean Bandit have gone straight to the top of the UK singles chart with Rather Be, featuring Jess Glynne.

We’re a thousand miles from comfort, we have traveled land and sea
But as long as you are with me, there’s no place I’d rather be
I would wait forever, exalted in the scene
As long as I am with you, my heart continues to beat

With every step we take, Kyoto to The Bay
Strolling so casually
We’re different and the same, get you another name
Switch up the battery

If you gave me a chance I would take it
It’s a shot in the dark but I’ll make it
Know with all of your heart, you can’t shame me
When I am with you, there’s no place I rather be

We staked out on a mission to find our inner peace
Make it everlasting so nothing’s incomplete
It’s easy being with you, sacred simplicity
As long as we’re together, there’s no place I’d rather be

With every step we take, Kyoto to The Bay
Strolling so casually
We’re different and the same, gave you another name
Switch up the battery

If you gave me a chance I would take it
It’s a shot in the dark but I’ll make it
Know with all of your heart, you can’t shame me
When I am with you, there’s no place I’d rather be

When I am with you, there’s no place I’d rather be

If you gave me a chance I would take it
It’s a shot in the dark but I’ll make it
Know with all of your heart, you can’t shame me

When I am with you, there’s no place I’d rather be

My Say…

When I was in the radio studio with other journos prerecording our Smoke Radio Feature show, one of them pointed out this song. I fell in love with it. It seemed to take me off on a trance, and the lyrics are beautiful.

It’s craziness how much music means to me. Maybe one day I will be a song writer myself, who knows? Combining the two things I love most I would be silly to not give it a shot! Writing and music, my two biggest passions.

It literally lights up my life.
