about

Festival atmosphere, bright sun and an ice-cold beer in your hand. The feel of that situation is captured by the sound of heavy rock troupe DEAD MEMORY's "Light it up". The title is the second single from the EP "Awake" released via Jumi in December.

In terms of content, the song by the German foursome deals with a serious topic: the fight against depression. But makes a clear appeal to all those affected: Don't give up hope! The hope to feel the bright and warming side of life and to pick yourself up again.

Here the combination of music and lyrics unfolds its full effect, because the sound of the track almost seems to develop its own luminosity. Open, wide guitars and driving drums give the piece an exhilarating lightness that inevitably brings back memories of sunnier moments.

lyrics

I came across a broken road
And i will carry on
I step out of line
And i‘m not afraid (now my dreams will carry me)

All the waste, all the time
Now i leave it all behind
I‘ll take my chance to reach the stars

Light it up, light it up, light it up on me
Light it up, you can’t change the way i feel
I‘m awake, i‘m alive to set my fire

Now i see the wind begin to change
I‘m on the bright side
Now i‘m a hurricane from a whisper to what i am

All the waste, all the time
But now i‘m taking back my life
I‘m not afraid, i‘m alive

Light it up, light it up, light it up on me
Light it up, you can’t change the way i feel
I‘m awake, i‘m alive and set my fire to the sky

I‘m awake, i‘m alive
On the bright side i will shine
Set my fire to the sky

I don‘t care about silver now
I‘m going straight for gold

Light it up, light it up, light it up on me
Light it up, you can’t change the way i feel
I‘m awake, i‘m alive to set my fire to the sky

I‘m awake, i‘m alive
I‘m awake to break my chains
Light it up, light it up, light it up on me
