I wrote ‘Pioneer’ in my bedroom over a beat FTSE had sent to me.
It was in the hot summer months of 2013. I’m pretty sure I was desperate to go on holiday.
The beat sounded vaguely tropical and I had a picture of an island, in the middle of the ocean, in my head.
I thought it would be cool to use...
[Verse 1]
You're an island nobody found
And I'm the beaches that wrap around
It's all a mystery and it's all a game
I wanna stakeout and make my claim
[Pre-Chorus]
So let go me go wonderin'
So let me explore
I wanna go deeper
Than they did before
[Chorus]
Let me pioneer, let me pioneer
I can find you here
[Verse 2]
No directions on this chart
There's no blueprint to keep us apart
I'm wading through waters, the rivers flow
Let's get together, an archipelago
[Pre-Chorus]
So let go me go wonderin'
So let me explore
I wanna go deeper
Than they did before
[Chorus] (x2)
Let me pioneer, let me pioneer
I can find you here
(I want go deeper than they did before)
[Bridge]
Ooh, wanna colonise, but treat you right
Monpolise you every night
Just let me, just let me
[Chorus - Extended/Variation]
Let me pioneer, let me pioneer
Want to find you here
(I want go deeper than they did before)
Let me pioneer, let me pioneer
I can find you here
(I want go deeper than they did before)
(I want go deeper than they did before)
(I want go deeper than they did before)
(I want go deeper than they did before)
[Outro]
Just let me
(I want go deeper than they did before...)
