about

'Need for Speed' is a perfect song for people that like moving fast, but in control. The trick is to live another day while enjoying it.
I dedicate this song to my late friend Peter Narkotsky who didn't survive his last extreme adventure. RIP Peter or, shall I say, Godspeed?

lyrics

‘Need for Speed’

Driving too fast on an ever winding road
Heading to my Destiny the feeling grows
Separation is depressing me
But we made it through the hardest part!
I don’t need no brakes
They’re not for men like me
Why’d I want to slow down
When I feel so free?

Riding too fast on an ever winding road
Life threw another curve ball, but I will not slow
Cliff to my right, drop to my left
The engine roaring underneath
It belonged to a better man,
But he still lives on, I’ll see to that!
I don’t need no brakes
They’re not for men like me
Why’d I want to slow down
When I feel so free?

Now, I’m skiing too fast on an icy slope
They said to stay away, or else abandon hope
A few good lives have lost the battle here before
But I don’t listen to their pointless pleas
I don’t listen, no, and I won’t appease!
I don’t need no brakes
They’re not for men like me
Why’d I want to slow down
When I feel so free?

My whole life was a fast and ever winding road
Should I have taken different vows and somewhat slowed?
No, I’d never slow for anyone that’s not like me!
I’m the spirit of speed
I’m the spirit of speed
I’m the spirit of speed
I’m the spirit of speed
I’m the spirit of speed
I’m the spirit of speed
I’m the spirit of speed
I’m the spirit of speed

about

Halloween Hopes San Diego, California

Hello,
I'm Halloween Hopes, an indie songwriter from San Diego, California: open.spotify.com/artist/1rcXxHCP3SBSfhXYjqphXi
I have unusual flow of writing. A song starts with some Hip Hop poetry, then it takes over and gets life of its own turning into rock, metal, pop, punk, ballad or staying a rap banger. Next, I try to pick musicians that are the best for the song. Let's kill some time! ... more
