New Single! Ruled By The Rich

In a world marked by growing disparities and a sense of injustice, there emerges a powerful voice that refuses to remain silent. Dazzle Rebel’s “Ruled by the Rich” is an electrifying new song that embodies the spirit of rebellion and serves as a rallying cry against the oppressive grip of the ruling elite. With pulsating bass guitar and thought-provoking lyrics, this anthem ignites the fire of defiance within us all.

The song is a testament to the power of music as a medium for social change. Its core message resonates deeply with those of us not blessed with billion-dollar wealth, capturing the shared frustration of the masses who feel marginalized and controlled by an entrenched few. It paints a vivid picture of a world where wealth and influence dictate the rules, leaving the rest of society to suffer the consequences.

From the very first note, “Ruled by the Rich” sets the stage for a sonic revolution. The music swells with an intensity that mirrors the emotions of the disenfranchised, empowering listeners to embrace their inner rebels. The driving rhythm section creates an infectious energy that propels the song forward, while the searing guitars and anthemic chorus ignite a sense of unity and defiance.

At the heart of “Ruled by the Rich” lies its cutting-edge lyrics, which serve as a scathing critique of the ruling elite and their grip on power. With a blend of poetic imagery and hard-hitting truths, the words encapsulate the frustrations of a generation yearning for change. The song exposes the stark realities of income inequality, corruption, and the systematic oppression that permeates society.

As listeners delve into the lyrics, they will find themselves confronted by the stark dichotomy of privilege and struggle, prompting them to question the status quo and demand accountability. “Ruled by the Rich” inspires individuals to rise above their circumstances and join together in a collective pursuit of justice and equality. It instils a belief that change is not only possible but necessary.

With its compelling melodies, thought-provoking lyrics, and a message that resonates with the times we live in, “Ruled by the Rich” transcends the boundaries of music to become a powerful social commentary. It reminds us that the power to challenge and dismantle the systems of oppression lies within each and every one of us. It is a call to action, urging listeners to stand united and reclaim their voices in the face of inequality.

In a world where the ruling elite seems untouchable, “Ruled by the Rich” is a reminder that music has the power to bridge divides, inspire collective action, and pave the way for a brighter future. As the song blares through speakers and echoes in the hearts of its listeners, it sparks a flame of rebellion, kindling hope for a world where power is held by the many, not just the few.

Join Dazzle Rebel on this extraordinary musical journey and let “Ruled by the Rich” be the anthem that galvanises the generations to rise up against the injustices that bind us. Together, we can challenge the status quo and build a world that is truly ruled by compassion, equality, and the power of the people.

Have you ever worked on something for so long but never quite nailed it? Well, if truth be told, that’s how I’ve felt about producing my own music. Well, I don’t feel that way anymore. I don’t know why, but something just clicked with this song.

Initially, I started writing this song as a bit of an exercise in forcing myself out of my comfort zone. I wanted to try something different. I never expected it to come as easily as it did, the music and lyrics just flowed from me. Mixing it was a breeze too and I have to say that it’s my best mix to date. As I said, something just clicked!

I wrote the song as a tirade against the desire for instant fame and the willingness to sacrifice yourself in pursuit of it. The music business has been gamified. Life has been gamified. Life is short and it’s causing us to live like mayflies, caught in a digital landslide, escaping from reality as our lives pass us by. I for one am sick of being a slave to my screen.

If you enjoyed this song, please find me on socials and say hello! I love hearing from you and building a community around Fringe Rock music.

LYRICS:

They say sharing is caring
They say the system is broke
They don’t care what you’re airing
They just care that it’s woke
They don’t want what you’re dealing
They don’t care if it’s fresh
They don’t want what you’re feeling
They just want your flesh
Just want your flesh

They don’t care where you come from
They don’t care who you are
They don’t care if you’re spending
All day in a spar
Treat people like people
Not like cogs in the clock
We’re all climbing the same hill
But I just wanna rock

Nah, nah, nah, nah

I don’t care what you’re airing
I don’t care if it’s woke
I don’t want what you’re dealing
I don’t care if it’s flash
I don’t want what you’re feeling
I just wanna thrash

They gamified music
And they gamified life
SubmitHub and TikTok
Live like a mayfly
This isn’t a real life
It’s all fantasy
In a digital landslide
Escape reality

Cookin’ in the Sun

The Fringe Rock song of the summer!

Cookin’ in the Sun

This song is one of those that just wrote itself. I wrote it one evening in January 2022, in between working on tracks for my first full-on debut album. It was cold and dark and I was daydreaming about the summer to come.

I was remembering my wedding and honeymoon in Las Vegas and how I’d ended up with a swollen face because I’d spent too long sunbathing around the pool at the Mandalay Bay Hotel. This was two days before my wedding but that’s a story for another time! It was ferociously hot and I felt my skin literally cooking in the sun.

I started writing the lyrics taking in cues from this memory and merging them with a satirical poke at the favourite pastime of us Brits to complain about the weather, no matter what the weather is doing. We’re never satisfied, it’s either too cold, too wet or in this case, too hot!

The music is written around the bass line. Something that I have decided I should do a lot more of as I am predominantly a bass guitarist!

The drums are a simple program that I put together using BDF2 (I’m recording on a PC from 2008 running Cubase 4 Essential remember). I remember trying to be a bit too flash and ‘realistic’ sounding when I was recording Condor Leader and I was never really satisfied with the results. I decided that if it wasn’t to be real drums then I shouldn’t try to hide the fact that this is a drum program, created by me, a non-drummer.

I recorded the track in between working on other music during January 2022, putting the final touches on it in February 2022. It’s my first attempt at producing, mixing and mastering a finished song entirely myself (that wasn’t intended as a demo).

*I’m not a fan of ReverbNation and I rarely update it with new music as I don’t believe it represents value for money (not least you can’t upload anything larger than 8mb without a pro account). If enough people actively engage with me on that platform I might reconsider my stance on the platform.
