Berlin-based producer Ben Esser releases first single in two years with “Stripes”. Created with New York based emawk and UK guitar wunderkind Beau Diako, “Stripes” is a seamless collaborative gem which perfectly encapsulates “raw moments of pure inspiration”.
Esser is cautious not to overcomplicate...
[Intro]
We work when we work, somehow it works
For what it's worth, we work it out
Worse comes to worst, we'll be worse for wear
Word to the wise, we worth the route
[Hook]
West of wherever we're about to be
Where our whereabouts and our wishes meet
Somewhere like summer (Ah)
Somewhere like summer
When in Rome, why not roam?
When in Rome...
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me where you wanna go, tell me where you wanna go
[Chorus]
(Instrumental)
[Post-Chorus]
Done (When?) [Ooh]
(When?) Down, d-down, down, d-down, da-da
(Oh when?) Down, d-down, down, d-down, da-da
[Ooh] Down, d-down, down, d-down, da-da (Oh, when, when, when?)
Down, d-down, da-da-da-da (Oah!)
[Hook]
West of wherever we're about to be
Where our whereabouts and our wishes meet
Somewhere like summer (Ah)
Somewhere like summer
When in Rome, why not roam?
When in Rome... (Yeah, yeah)
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me where you wanna go, tell me where you wanna go
[Chorus]
Riffling
[Outro]
We work when we work, somehow it works
For what it's worth, we work it out
Worse comes to worst, we'll be worse for wear
Word to the wise, we worth the route
