about
With ꕥ flying V, IKAN HYU release the fourth single of their upcoming debut album. Fans who have been following the band for a while, might recognise certain similarities to their song Resonate Soulmate. Just like in that song, the synthbass and guitar in ꕥ flying V simultaneously play the same melody and melt together into an unmistakable “Ikan-orchestra”. Although the song is named after the guitar model with which it is performed on stage, its lyrics are not actually about guitars but talk about sexuality, connection and spirituality. Recorded during a live session in Berlin (where drums, guitar and synthbass were also recorded together), the soulful vocals retain something rough and tangible. With ꕥ flying V, IKAN HYU seduce the listener into a world of ecstasy, reverberating beats and roaring guitar solos.
lyrics
I see you with my eyes shut
I feel you when the beat drops
There’s music from your laptop
We’re dancin’ and we won’t stop
You spin that wheel and I just
Let myself fall, fall
My words are ridin’ on your
Slow Rock’n’Roll
I give myself to rhythms
I can’t control, control
And when you touch my body
You touch my soul
I see you with my eyes shut
I feel you when the beat drops
There’s music from your laptop
We’re dancin’ and we won’t stop
When you are playin’ licks on
My flying V, V
My lips are spillin’ out some
Sweet melodies
When everything is shattered
You make me whole, whole
‘Cuz when I touch your body
You touch my soul
I see you with my eyes shut
I feel you when the beat drops
There’s music from your laptop
We’re dancin’ and we won’t stop
I see you with my eyes shut
My fingers through your hair cut
I’m sitting on your lap, top on the floor, oh
We’re dancing and we won’t stop
