Lyrics of the song


There's something about you, 
I wanna know, I wanna know.
There's so many questions 
I wanna know, I wanna know.

Smiling at strangers in the dark, 
I wanna know you, yeah, I wanna know you.
Tell me the secrets in your heart. 
I wanna know you, yeah, I wanna know you.

I'm feeling nervous. Do you feel the same? Do you feel the same?
Your smile makes me curious about you, about you.

Smiling at strangers in the dark, 
I wanna know you, yeah, I wanna know you.
Tell me the secrets in your heart. 
I wanna know you, yeah, I wanna know you.

I wanna know you, yeah, I wanna know you.
I wanna know you, yeah, I wanna know you.

     As for me this song is a piece of really great job and music of course. It's just perfect. Dubstep music, great rhythms and that voice, wonderful voice, and of course simple, but really amazing lyrics. Maybe that's the reason why stop listening to this song.... For sure -YES!  

I can say two things now: "wooow" and "I love it". And as I I wrote earlier - this song is just EPIC.

     I think it's a good sign for them - Direct and Holly, because this song just hypnotizing. I think that "Wanna Know You" should be the hit on the whole world. I'm sure of it. As for me this song is already a hit of this spring, spring 2014,  but for sure it's one of the best songs of this month. That's pretty amazing.

          I'm having high hopes that maybe this is not the last made by these two, and that maybe sooner or later they will make something new, something what will be the same good or even better than this one "Wanna Know You". Can't wait.

Good job Direct, good job Holly.

Music of the day : Holly Drummond

Today I would like to recommend you music by talented and amazing, young singer Holly Drummond. I'm sure you will like, or even love, her music.
Trust me, you should remember this name very well because I'm sure she will be very famous and such a great singer very, very soon.

Holly Drummond is a young singer and songwriter from Edinburgh [Scotland], who is singing her own songs and also covers of other musicians. She released two albums and four EPs. (f.e. "New Beginnings"[2012], "Cloud Nine EP" [2012] and "In the Dark EP" [2013]). Her music is a mix of pop, indie and acoustic and I think that this is really awesome. In my opinion of course.

In her inspiration we can find, f.e.: Ben Howard, Passenger, Paramore, Dido, Regina Spektor, The Pretty Reckless, KT Tunstall, A Fine Frenzy, William Fitzsimmons, Imogen Heap - so if you like one of them, you can be sure you will like Holly Drummond.

 



As for me Holly has a dreamlike voice, wonderful lyrics, great music - so she has everything, that whole mix of the best at the music. And maybe that's why you just can't stop listening to her music, her songs her voice. The same is with all these cover of other musicians - they're just awesome.

You can read more about Holly and also her misuc on her pages: official page, Facebook, YouTube, Tumblr, Twitter, Bandcamp, iTunes, Spotify.

















Also on her official page you can read a few great reviews from newspapers:

“Holly Drummond shows a maturity well beyond her years.”

- Gordon Johnson, Glasswerk

“Beautifully constructed soundscapes setting the scene for her well woven lyrics.”

- Suzanne Neilson, She's So Dope

“Beautiful songs which grow out of the darkness until they shine bright as any stars.”

- Edinburgh Spotlight

“The Edinburgh native has an unexpectedly mature voice that is smooth on the ears, and a beautiful songwriting approach. Musically, the arrangement and instrumentation are spot on and only made more impressive after finding out that she recorded, played, sung and wrote every song on the EP. Her voice compliments the acoustic guitar, piano and cello tracks perfectly and whether you like acoustic music or not, it is evident on first listen that this girl is talented. She takes inspiration from Regina Spektor, and this is clear in her singing style... but to me she sounds like a female Damien Rice.”

- Music Review Unsigned

 

“A bona fide internet success... Holly’s songs are melancholic and maturely-observed vignettes of life: tales of broken hearts and broken promises, yet shot through with an inner strength expressed through her accomplished songwriting.”

- Edinburgh Spotlight

You can download her last EP, "In the Dark" from f.e. iTunes and bandcamp.
