It doesn't really matter It doesn't really matter It doesn't really matter It doesn't really matter Looking for sanctuary Somewhere I can't escape from We've survived for centuries, built off this miscreation You idolize me, hoping one day I can save 'em But everything you see is the result of my mistakes, yuh No exception, I'm reckless in my coping Pretending I'm invincible, my eyes still hard to open Taken by the tide, now I'm drowning in the ocean Thought I'd part the waves like Moses but can't seem to stay afloat I hope you notice It doesn't really matter I find it hard to breathe but still make my city chatter It doesn't really matter Carrying this weight to make the world shatter It doesn't really matter I find it hard to breathe but still make my city chatter It doesn't really matter Carrying this weight to make the world shatter Don't lose the plot on why you started Get your mind in order 'cause your dreams are empty-hearted Passion's turning jaded, thought my outer skin was hardened But inside I'm feeling faded, we still searching for the answers Let go of all these motives Remember your goals The lonely times on the train when you stared at your phone Writing poems in your notes, take your eyes off the road 'Cause when nothing really matters, let the bassline roll We let go We let go We let go We let go It doesn't really matter I find it hard to breathe but still make my city chatter It doesn't really matter Carrying this weight to make the world shatter We let go We let go We let go We let go

Can't let go I can't let go Can't let go I can't let go Can't let go Holding on to a part of me Lost in identity Only one that you know Now I'm telling you honestly Just who I wanna be How can I let this go And I'm trying to change But my mind's playing games And I'm hiding, I just can't show How I'm feeling inside All the words I can't find And I'm breaking, I can't let go You only see the highs, not the lows I'm trying to free the lock on my soul I'm not the one you think you know Think you know Can't let go Can't let go Can't let go Can't let go Get up Can't let go Can't let go Can't let go Can't let go Can't let Can't let

about

If Jack Ramsay’s first few projects as Skybreak were escapist fantasies influenced by a deep sense of wanderlust, HALF BLOOD is the culmination of his lived experiences out in the real world. After leaving university to embark on his first two North American tours and releasing what he felt was his “perfect” EP in Moonglow, Ramsay found himself in a creative rut. Having said everything there was to say with his colour bass sound for the time being, he turned to his heritage and to the roots of bass music itself for inspiration.

Raised just outside NYC by an American mother and a British father, Ramsay grew up making frequent trips to New York and London, which ended up becoming the breeding grounds for his third album. Attending DnB/UKG raves in these urban environments and diving deep into music from some of England’s pioneering electronic acts (Coki, Burial, Aphex Twin, Massive Attack) drove him to focus on groove & atmosphere, while still allowing subtle splashes of colour to seep through the concrete.

The year leading up to HALF BLOOD has been Skybreak’s most ambitious and accomplished to date, with notable firsts including reaching 1 million streams on a track (“Accelerate”), a silent disco on NYC’s F Train promoting the album, a sold out co-headline with Chime in Tokyo, a music video (“Terminal”), a lecture at the Berklee College of Music and performances at Ubbi Dubbi & Starbase (where he premiered “Ever Again,” his collaboration with SLANDER and Ty Dolla $ign).
