Plastic in the ocean Don’t care Watching videos in slow motion about a car that could make me feel better now I’m not leaving my comfort zone I’m buying happiness in installments Payments are working flawless Since I got my new employment And my boss likes my performance Evenings I watch TV about a war in the middle east And I have a beer or two While I buy a pair of new shoes I forget that I kill tomorrow With the choices that I make And I forget that tomorrow is dead Cause of choices that I made As far as our eyes can see tonight We went way too far in this place in time As far as our eyes can see tonight Taken by a storm if we miss the signs People Why would I care that the bees die Don’t like honey in my tea While I’m collecting a few more air miles I let you know in my profile Let me watch a live stream When the last elephant goes to sleep With a cheeky smile on his face I forget that I kill tomorrow With the choices that I make And I forget that tomorrow is dead Cause of choices that I made As far as our eyes can see tonight We went way too far in this place in time As far as our eyes can see tonight Taken by a storm if we miss the signs As far as our eyes can see tonight We went way too far in this place in time As far as our eyes can see tonight Taken by a storm if we miss the signs People

I’m feeling low as I’m getting high Staying over at my dad's place almost every night And as much as I’m a dreamer I still can’t deny That I’m often just a fool and start believing my own lies Maybe our ship is going down Cause we try to hard impressing others We could leave to stay on our own Until we really recognize another Maybe storms are hiding in the clouds Cause we’re just too scared of all our thunder Let’s keep our ship from sinking now And start by recognizing all the colours Taking it slow as I’m wasting time Maybe I’m just scared I could fail trying and I wonder why Why my head is blocking me now to write another line As I start to search the web I stop believing in my own rhymes Maybe our ship is going down Cause we try to hard impressing others We could leave to stay on our own Until we really recognize another Maybe storms are hiding in the clouds Cause we’re just too scared of all our thunder Let’s keep our ship from sinking now And start by recognizing all the colours Please forgive I couldn’t tell You wanted me to be somebody else Please leave me by myself Cause I better be a f****** rebell Maybe our ship is going down Cause we try to hard impressing others We could leave to stay on our own Until we really recognize another Maybe storms are hiding in the clouds Cause we’re just too scared of all our thunder Let’s keep our ship from sinking now And start by recognizing all the colours I swear to myself that I say goodbye To waiting for somebody else fixing problems I’m having in life And as far as I know nothing can stop me from starting tonight If I find a way to shut up these voices in the back of my mind

about

Following on from ‘Misfits’, ‘People’ is the second single by hfn music’s new signing PaulWetz.

The song has been written in Istanbul when Paul was working with Turkish singer Sena Sener. The atmosphere is reflective and floaty, but with an infectious bubbling bassline and synth hook. The influence of the big city inspired Paul, wo lives near Germany’s Black Forest, to ruminate on people’s obliviousness to their own role in the earth’s issues:

“The rough, big, dirty city made it far more obvious what we humans do to this planet than I had ever felt before. It made me realize that we are a huge amount of people having a destructive lifestyle at the same time without feeling any responsibility for it.” says Paul.

The ‘Dark Rave Edit’ is a rather clubby approach of the song with a stronger bassline and distorted vocals that create an even darker atmosphere.
