Very from the 90's
Imagine that Surkin had a brother who used to steal all his brothers machines when he wasn't at home...that little guy is Bobmo!

BOBMO is a young producer hailing from the hyperactive city of Paris via the even more hyper city of Bordeaux. While in high school, with no musical training, he launched a short-lived rap career, making beats on his Playstation (no, really!), spitting awkward tales of murder and woe.

Bordeaux is a pretty cool place and, hanging out with the right crowd, going to the right club, and listening to the right radio show, Bobmo got into Detroit techno, Miami bass, electro and, most importantly, Chicago house. He got himself a PC and downloaded everything from legendary labels Dancemania and Trax. Like so many kids (he’s 19, by the way) of the P2P generation, he ended up taking matters into his own hands. The result—LET’S GO BOBMO!— was played and playlisted by such luminaries as Sinden, Justice, MSTRKRFT, Diplo, Busy P, etc. The boy went on to remix Jape and Scenario Rock and we had to re-release the stand-out track of the 12”, “To the Bobmobile”, with a Baltimore-heavy remix by Kazey & Bulldog. Now he’s back with his second 12”: 3000% YES.

What’s with kids these days? These three tracks are downright strange. From afar, they seem to master familiar idioms: “Rock The” speaks a fluent percussive House, “Legally Dead for 4’31” delivers 4 minutes and 31 seconds of jacking electro and “Get ‘Em, Junior” wraps things up on a techno tip. But then you get the Ketamine-friendly build-up of the latter, the funky, syncopated stylings of the first track, the cheap-sounding synths blossoming into ecstatic fuzziness... You get a lot more than you bargained for.

Home Alone
Bobmo Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Til now, I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone?
I sit back and reminisce
It hurts to think about it all
We was on top of the world
Who ever thought that we would fall?

Standing by the phone, alone
Ignoring your call
I feel like spiderman
You got me flying off of the wall
I didn't wanna leave
But still I had to go
Cause what good's a rainbow
Without my pot of gold
Now your bed's empty
And your pillow's cold
We never realized our love until my love was gone (yeah)
When I said I could move on and go
You said I'm weak and it shows
I couldn't go on without you
Now I'm sitting in this house alone
Wondering why I left home
And I'm hoping that you know that
Til now, I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone?
The phone calls
Can you stop the free falls
Can you be the reason i can see beyond the lies if i keep holding on
I hear you
Can you stop the screaming
Did you stop believing i can feel you letting go
Can't be alone tonight
When I said I could move on and go
You said I'm weak and it shows
I couldn't go on without you
Now I'm sitting in this house alone
Wondering why I left home
And I'm hoping that you know that
Til now, I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone?
How do I get you alone?
I wonder where you are tonight
No answer on the telephone
And the night goes by so very slow
Oh, I hope that it won't end though
Alone
And I'm hoping that you know that
Til now, I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
Til now, I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone

How do I get you alone?
How do I get you alone?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Bobmo's song "Home Alone" are about the difficulty of being without someone you love. The song begins by stating, "Til now, I always got by on my own, I never really cared until I met you." This could mean that the singer has always been able to handle life without a partner, but now that they have found someone they care about deeply, they can't handle being alone anymore.

The lyrics continue with, "And now it chills me to the bone, How do I get you alone?" This line suggests that the singer is feeling incredibly lonely without the object of their affection, and they want to be with them desperately. They reminisce about the past and how they used to be on top of the world, but now they're alone and hurting. The singer wonders if their former partner knows how much they're missed, even though they're the one who ended the relationship.

Later in the song, the lyrics state, "Can you be the reason I see beyond the lies if I keep holding on, I hear you, can you stop the screaming, did you stop believing I can feel you letting go." These lines suggest that the singer is struggling to let go of the relationship and wishes that their partner would come back to them. They also seem to be questioning whether their partner was truthful with them and wondering if this is the reason for the breakup.

Overall, the song is a heartfelt expression of longing and the pain of loneliness after losing someone you care deeply about. The singer is struggling to come to terms with the end of the relationship and desperately wants their former partner back.
