“Here Goes Me” explores the feeling of facing the unknown, and taking a step into the darkness. It was inspired by the courage and strength that come from love and belonging. This second Kashew Butter release of 2020 is an indie pop gem with swirly synthesizers, self-reflective lyrics dressed with harmonized vocals, scorching guitar lines, phat hybrid bass and 80’s inspired programmed percussion.
lyrics
Pedal Pedal Pedal
Pedal Pedal yeah
Knowing you're with me
Knowing I'm with you
Whatever we do
Cycling through the evening
This chilly, changing season
Path ahead dissolving into night
But I trust in my direction
Enough with second guessing
It's insight over eyesight
So I press on through darkness
Surrendering to something more
Saying Here Goes Me, Here Goes Me
Going out to go (Go!), Going out to see (see!)
Fauna and Flora
Here Goes Me, Here Goes Me
Going with the flow (Flow!)
Flowing with the breeze (Breeze!)
Like an explorer
Ever seeking a peak in intuition's beck and call
Sometimes I dread the unknown
Forget to breathe and let go
Mirages of disaster tease my mind
But with a slight turn in perspective
These feelings cue reflection
They're tools of liberation, not chains that bind
Peace of mind could be round the next corner
So I press onward
Saying Here Goes Me, Here Goes Me
Going out to go (Go!), Going out to see (see!)
Fauna and Flora (I'm out in the world now)
Here Goes Me, Here Goes Me
Going with the flow (Flow!)
Flowing with the breeze (Breeze!)
Like an explorer
Like an explorer
Press onward, like an explorer
Here Goes Me, Here Goes Me
I'm out in the world now
Here goes me, yeah
Walking the walk, into the dark
Feeling my way along
Saying Here Goes Me, Here Goes Me
Going out to go (Go!), Going out to see (see!)
Fauna and Flora (I'm out in the world now)
Here Goes Me, Here Goes Me
Going with the flow (Flow!)
Flowing with the breeze (Breeze!)
Like an explorer
Like an explorer
I can't tell you how good it feels to know I'm not alone
I found you, now I'm bound to
Align myself and finally soar
I kiss you before you immerse yourself in all that is around you
Now I've found the truth
So I pedal pedal pedal
Pedal on yeah
Knowing you're with me
Knowing I'm with you
Whatever we do.
