They were discovered by Lupe Fiasco in the fall of 2008, who took them on a nation-wide tour. Their music incorporates influences from disco, house and indie rock to the power-pop of Rockford’s hometown heroes Cheap Trick and the synth-heavy productions of Giorgio Moroder and Trevor Horn. Their infectious sound has garnered fans and made them blog and radio darlings from Portland to Paris to Porto Alegre.

Comet
Hey Champ Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

give it all to me
the sky called to my call
Dark thought to seek
Dream you can't shake anymore

If you see it
you want it
to put your fingers on it

If you need it
I got it
We're riding on a comet
Riding on a comet
Riding on a comet

Dawn breaks, ground shakes
Plans fall to fire
But it feels so inferior
Much left to figure out

If you see it
you want it
to put your fingers on it
If you need it
I got it
We're riding on a comet
Riding on a comet
Riding on a comet

Keep riding on this comet
Keep calm and carry on
Far the past the moon we come
Keep calm and carry on
Keep riding on this comet
Keep calm and carry on
Far the past the moon we come
Keep calm and carry on

If you see it
you want it
to put your fingers on it
(Keep calm and carry on)
If you need it
I got it
You're riding on a comet
(Keep calm and carry on)
Riding on a comet
Riding on a comet
Riding on a comet

If you see it
you want it
Keep riding on this comet
If you see it
you want it
Keep riding on this comet

Keep calm and carry on
Riding on a comet
