Heartbeat

The East Jinx – Heartbeat (feat. Zop Hopop)

Single release

–

Second single for the band, for the label ! And we’re proud to mention that Sacha Toorop joined the band ! As Zop Hopop !

First composed on my old Kurzweil, Heartbeat quickly became an obsession : a pastel melody joined to a 126bpm disco rhythm, reverbs and sounds coming straight from the 80’s.

A sad cheerfulness…

And when Sacha sent me the text and the imagined voice, on this dark evening of November 2020, emotions immediately arose. We had the thing! Simply spectacular.

Two months later, we went to the studio to record all the voices with a bunch of top class microphones.

But after the session, we had two versions of the song.

The first one with a taste of alternative music and the other, with a delightful disco feeling. We worked on this second version to release our radio edit version.

But we kept the first version to propose a longer psycho disco remix version on Spotify.

Now, we’re proud to announce the release of this beautiful song on February 18, 2022.

Lyrics – written by Zop Hopop aka Sacha Toorop

From here to the sound of your heartbeat,
I don’t want to solve myself…

Down by your own mise en abime,
I’m your machine
Even in your sleepless night, I am glowing
I’m your machine, I’m your machine.

Wouldn’t it be the night?
Tonight’s the night

From here to the sound of your heartbeat,
I don’t want to solve myself,
I don’t wanna loose you now.

Down by the pathway of your synapse
I am your beauty, I am your beauty
You gave me so much, now I get you
You’re my beauty, now you’re my slave… tonight !

The news feed’s scrolling
under the bridges
Life is not stoppin’
over the fields.
Heroes are missing
behind the scene,
Dare you say you love me ?
When it’s all done, when it’s all gone…

From here to the sound of your heartbeat,
I don’t want to solve myself,
I don’t wanna loose you now
