Bomethius’ first release of 2024, “Upbeat” is a charged alt-rocker that recalls the fiery energy of early 90s Radiohead and Smashing Pumpkins. Anchored by an irresistibly distorted bass-heavy riff, the track swells amid mounting layers of squalling synths, multitracked vocals, and blistering guitars set against a seamless rhythm section. The result is Bomethius’ most forthright headbanger, a rowdy celebration of the restless resolve to give no quarter to the vicious cycles of attachment that cause suffering.
Lyrics
Always have some new dumb hook
To drag us back in, and cast me back out
And they say blessings come in disguise
Well, my, aren’t we dressed up?
My, aren’t we dressed up.
My, aren’t we dressed up!
And I don’t know what more to say
Now that it’s over
Not a lot left here to say
Now that it’s over
Yeah, I’m feeling upbeat
Yeah, I’m feeling upbeat
Imagine feeling this free
‘Cos you don’t know me at all
Thought I’d never be able to sleep
And I’d bet you did too.
I’ll bet you did too.
I bet you did too!
And I don’t know what more to say
Now that it’s over
Tell me do you have the words to say
Is it really over?
Yeah, I’m feeling upbeat
Yeah, I’m feeling upbeat
But if I’m real
I miss you every single day
And if I’m real
No we can’t be real
No we can’t no we can’t no we can’t
No we can’t be real no we can’t be real
No we can’t be real no we can’t
No we can’t be real no we can’t be real
No we can’t be real
No we can’t be real
No. We.
Yeah, I'm feeling upbeat
Yeah, I'm feeling upbeat
