The Karl Maka - With You, Always

from 10 for 10 by KittyWu Records

about

"This band's sound is built on the backs of some of the bands I grew up listening to. For me, this track is pure Nostalgia Ultra. They also played a huge part in my personal development.

I was 18 and working as a sound engineer at the now-defunct Home Club. I was an under-qualified runt tasked with the responsibility of doing sound for great bands like I Am David Sparkle and Plainsunset. I felt extremely insecure about the weight that responsibility placed on my shoulders. Of course, my mentor Christopher Ang was a big help, but the fear of letting my heroes (the bands) down was, at times, crippling.

This was until I met The Karl Maka for the first time when they were slated to play on a Friday night.

They were so nice and appreciative of my efforts, that my self-consciousness had dissipated. Without my insecurities getting in the way, I found the wherewithal to focus on being extremely attentive and accommodating. This experience granted me a macro lesson — if I focused my efforts on really listening and caring about the people I was providing a service to, instead of focusing on my own insecurities, I could very easily fill the void in the knowledge gap that was contributing to my insecurities in the first place.

They even gave me a very well-designed button that I then wore on my work jacket for a very long time after."

Elias Soh (Lush 99.5FM)

lyrics

friday night the weekend's here
gathering at Taka Square
The coolest kids rock checkered shirts
all set to take over the world

rolling through the city streets
listening to this city's beat
with our hands in the air, we just don't care
as the wind blows away
the words we say

so stay young, stay young and beautiful (stay young + beautiful)
stay young and beautiful, always (stay young + beautiful)
in my heart you'll always be so beautiful (stay young + beautiful)
in my heart forever will you stay
with me always

we'll drive drive drive right through the night
until we figure out a plan
hey did you get my page last night?
i meant to call you back
i'll call you back

so stay young, stay young and beautiful (stay young + beautiful)
stay young and beautiful, always (stay young + beautiful)
in my heart you'll always be so beautiful (stay young + beautiful)
in my heart forever will you stay
with me always

*robo vox*
so i wandered away
my head in outer space
i fell in so deep
i almost died
but i'm alive
so you can fall in love with me

stay young, stay young and beautiful (stay young + beautiful)
stay young and beautiful, always (stay young + beautiful)
in my heart you'll always be so beautiful (stay young + beautiful)
in my heart forever will you stay
with me always
with me always
with me always
with me always
always
