His debut single ‘Keep Calling’ was an instant hit, introducing the world to his sample-heavy blend of grime, r’n’b and US club music. It was one of the year’s best-received singles, played relentlessly by Mr. Mitch, DJ Q, Murlo, Kode9, Eclair Fifi and more. He has emerged as one of the best new DJs around, with a knowledge of r’n’b, Baltimore and Jersey club, house, garage and grime beyond his years. In 2015 he dropped a remix EP, Finn Remixed, before co-producing Jammz’ ‘Final Warning’ single. On his 2016 EP, Knock Knock, he comes of age, expanding his sound to take in the loopy house of Roule and Dance Mania and the breathless hip-hop of Just Blaze and Heatmakerz with that uncanny knack for knowing just what works where in a club. There’s a bunch of people chopping up samples in a club context right now, but nobody does it like Finn. https://soundcloud.com/finnmccorry

Finn Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Always used to dance around in space when we were young
Back in the freeway days, the fire don't seem so warm then
How much time passed since last summer?
Nostalgia is not fond of us
(For years, for years)

Oh, time flies if the timing's right
Your city is bright

Cold bites, we're stars tonight

You're there for me, let's wait around and see
You're there for me, let's wait around and see

Blurred vision, I can see my blood thinning
If I keep running I can buy time
Oh, shit, my ambition be expensive
But my dreams might cause attention
Call my friends when I reach my peak and

It's the weekend (You're there for me, let's wait around and see)
Brain is sinking, train is passing
My thoughts are past tense
I'll start laughing when we are drinking (You're there for me, let's wait around and see)
Back to Scotland, I miss my friends
(I dream of a hometown even though I have found nothing yet)
Lovesick, I can feel my heart stiffen, listening from 2016
Again

Again
(I dream of a hometown even though I have found nothing yet)

Overall Meaning

The song "Tissues" by Finn is a reflection on growing up and looking back on one's youth. The opening lines "Always used to dance around in space when we were young, back in the freeway days, the fire don't seem so warm then," are nostalgically yearning for the past. Finn is reminiscing about the carefree nature of youth and the lack of pressure felt in their formative years. The lyrics "oh, time flies if the timing's right, your city is bright, cold bites, we're stars tonight" set the tone for the rest of the song, as Finn is grappling with the fleeting nature of time and the need to make the most of it.

The lyrics in the second verse, "blurred vision, I can see my blood thinning, if I keep running I can buy time, oh, shit, my ambition be expensive, but my dreams might cause attention" illustrate a sense of urgency and restlessness. Finn is chasing their dreams, but the cost of ambition is palpable. The sentiment "my dreams might cause attention" hints at the fear of success, and the responsibility that comes with it. The song's central anxiety surfaces in the lines "Call my friends when I reach my peak, it's the weekend, brain is sinking, train is passing, my thoughts are past tense." Finn acknowledges the fleeting nature of success, and the impermanence of even our most significant moments.

The repeated line "You're there for me, let's wait around and see" is a message of reassurance amidst the chaos of growing up. It is ultimately a reminder that the relationships we have and the connections we make along the way are what help anchor us as we navigate the twists and turns of life.
