[intro - vinyl crackle, atmospheric pads] [vinyl crackle, distant hoover stabs, soft supersaw pads fade in] [male vocal - intimate whisper] do you remember... when the night was young... when the speakers shook... and the bass was sung... [verse 1 - male vocal, clear pop delivery, emotional] [soft supersaw chords, amen break percussion, intimate male vocal] we were kids in the warehouse, dancing till the dawn with the hoover in our hearts and the bassline pulling on every weekend felt like forever, every night was new we were chasing something holy in the things we used to do now the years have passed us by, but the rhythm still remains in the echo of the kick drum, in the memory of the rain we are older, we are wiser, but the fire never dies when the supersaw is rising, we can see it in our eyes [mc ad-libs - male vocal, energetic but controlled] [amen breaks build, riser starts] yeah... we remember... we are still here... let's go... [pre-drop build - male vocal, festival risers, chopped vocal hooks] [snare rolls, hoover stabs, supersaws rise, filter opens] and the night is calling... and the crowd is rising... and the beat is falling... like a storm of light... (let's go) [drop 1 - euphoric chorus, female vocal, distorted hardcore kick] [full arrangement, supersaw chords, reese bass, wide stereo, chopped vocal hooks, euphoric female vocal] we are the rave, we are the sound we are the ones who shake the ground we are the rave, we are the light we are the fire in the night we are the rave, we are the sound we are the ones who shake the ground we are the rave, we are the light we are the fire in the night na na na... we are the rave... na na na... we are the sound... na na na... we are the rave... na na na... shaking the ground... [verse 2 - male vocal, more reflective] [driving reese bass, amen break continues, male vocal gains warmth] now we bring our children with us, show them what we found teach them how the rhythm moves, teach them how to shake the ground they don't know the warehouses, they don't know the pirate streams but they feel the same electricity that runs through all our dreams every generation finds its own way to lose control every generation finds its own way to feed its soul and the music keeps on moving through the decades and the years it's the only thing that matters, it's the only thing that clears [mc ad-libs - male vocal, building tension] [hoover stabs return, riser intensifies] listen... this is our anthem... this is our time... come on... [pre-drop build - male vocal, maximum tension] [snare rolls double, supersaws peak, chopped vocals pitch up] the past is in our blood... the future in our hands... and the present is the moment... where we all understand... (let's go) [drop 2 - wider arrangement, female vocal, more layers] [full euphoric arrangement, layered harmonies, wider stereo, chopped hooks, euphoric female vocal] we are the rave, we are the sound we are the ones who shake the ground we are the rave, we are the light we are the fire in the night we are the rave, we are the sound we are the ones who shake the ground we are the rave, we are the light we are the fire in the night na na na... we are the rave... na na na... we are the sound... na na na... we are the rave... na na na... shaking the ground... [emotional breakdown - male vocal, intimate] i still hear that kick drum in my head from a night in ninety-four when we were young instead i still see the faces, i still feel the heat i still know the strangers who became my family on the street and i know the years will take us, one by one, away but the rave will keep on living in the songs we used to play every time the supersaw is rising through the dark we are there again, together, leaving every single mark [spoken - intimate, male vocal] [only piano + vinyl crackle, whispered male vocal] we are the rave... we always were... we always will be... tonight... and forever... [build-up to final drop - male vocal, aggressive hardcore switch] the past is in our blood... the future in our hands... and the present is the moment... where we all understand... right here, right now... everything or nothing... [final drop - aggressive hardcore switch, male + female vocals layered] we are the rave, we are the sound [male vocal] we are the rave, we are the sound [female vocal] we are the ones who shake the ground [male vocal] we are the ones who shake the ground [female vocal] we are the rave, we are the light [male vocal] we are the fire in the night [female vocal] we are the rave, we are the light [male vocal] we are the fire in the night [female vocal] na na na... we are the rave... [female vocal] na na na... we are the sound... [male vocal] na na na... shaking the ground... [female vocal] na na na... we are alive...
