Louder

about

Compared to Alfa's previous songs, her single "Louder" represents a giant step in a different direction, but the results are refreshing, dance-worthy and awash in stubborn optimism. "Louder" came from Alfa's days at home during the Covid-19 pandemic, recording guitars, violin, and vocals on Garageband and sending them to drummer-producer Carl Thomson, who's studio was just 15 miles away, but impossible to get to during lockdown. What resulted from forced isolation is an effortless and undeniable track that drives you to stare down your demons in order to embrace who you are meant to be. As the world re-opens, the message of "Louder" is the perfect soundtrack.

lyrics

LOUDER (written by Alfa Garcia, Carl Thomson)
Copyright 2020.

VERSE 1
I can’t feel it anymore
got my hands so tired and twisted
turned this battle into war
and they’ve fought as hard as I could will them

PRE-CHORUS
every time i think i’m failing
memories keep fading
can I go deeper this time?
when i’m throwing in the towel
scared i’m gonna drown I
pull my body up to the sky

CHORUS
If I’m staring down my demons
I’m staring at the answer
baby you are fearless
sing it out louder

VERSE 2
Why don’t you take it out on me?
you don’t have to act so put-together
it’s a battle to be free
but i’m here for you when you want to surrender

PRE-CHORUS
every time i think i’m failing
perfection I been chasing
can I go deeper this time?
when i’m throwing in the towel
scared I’m gonna drown I
…pull my body up to the sky

CHORUS
If I’m staring down my demons
I’m staring at the answer
baby you are fearless
sing it out louder

TAG
sing louder louder louder…
louder louder louder
oh
sing it out louder.

BRIDGE
put my foot in the water
don’t rein it in
how long have i been in denial
is it too late to begin?
rather fight than surrender
or waste my time
better to lose to myself
than spend my life wondering why

CHORUS
If I’m staring down my demons
I’m staring at the answer
and i’m gonna be fearless, shout it out loud
started with a whisper now i wanna sing out

sing it louder… louder… (x2) (say you can hear me, can’t sing no more
crash to the bottom i’ve hit the floor
you think i’m quiet, I wanna shout
sing it out, i wanna sing it loud.)
