Taking their name from the classic Beatles track, BlackByrd are in the process of turning adult-contemporary pop convention on its head, thanks to Lamb's new-found talent as a critical songwriter. "We've all grown, as people and entertainers," Lamb says. "We're artists now, and loving every minute."
Since January 2012, BlackByrd, along with promoter and music-industry veteran Mike Fuller as manager, have been creating a body of work that will be released as 13-track debut album this September.
Please Mr DJ
BlackByrd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Used to be the words you'd come to, till you found the door
No more sweet I love yous, how the times have changed
Living in this world without you, nothing feels the same
And everywhere I go, everything I do
I always am reminded of you
Turn on the radio it's the same old tune
Just another heartbreak radio song
Just another person who
Just another soul wondering where they went wrong
Please Mr DJ play me a different song
Most days I feel happy
And when the clouds move in
I take a trip to that destination
That special place we've been
I can't help but remember the love I used to know
I haven't found the one to belong to
The one that I call home
And everywhere I go, everything I do
I always am reminded of you
Turn on the radio it's the same old tune
Keep on wishing there's something new (Something new)
Just another heartbreak radio song
Just another person who
Just another soul wondering where they went wrong
Please Mr DJ play me a different melody
Play something new for me
Why don't ya take me to a place I've never been woah
It seems like it's you and me in every song
Just another heartbreak radio song
Just another person who
Just another soul wondering where they went wrong
Please Mr DJ play me a different song (Please Mr DJ play me a different song)
Please Mr DJ play me a different song (Please Mr DJ play me a different song)
Please Mr DJ play me a different song
The lyrics to BlackByrd's song "Please Mr DJ" detail the feeling of heartbreak and longing for something new. The singer of the song is reminiscing about a love they used to know, a love that has since faded away. They feel lost, as though they haven't found another person to belong to, to call home. Everywhere they go and everything they do, they are reminded of this lost love. Even the radio plays the same old tune, which serves only to deepen their feelings of despair.
The plea to the DJ for a different song is more than just a request for something new to listen to. It represents a desire to move on, to find a new love, a new source of happiness. The lyrics convey a sense of being stuck in a rut, unable to escape the heartbreak of the past. At the same time, however, they offer a glimmer of hope. The singer knows that they are capable of feeling happy, and they hold on to memories of a "special place" they shared with their lost love.
Overall, "Please Mr DJ" is a song about the pain of heartbreak and the desire for something new. It speaks to anyone who has felt the sting of lost love and who longs for a fresh start.
