1) Mike Truman and Chris Healings have been writing, producing, touring and DJing all over the globe for the best part of a decade, amassing near 250 productions. The duo has written four LPs to date: Wide Angle, 1999; Morning Sci-Fi, 2003; I Choose Noise, 2006; and Disappear Here, 2010 – all on Distinctive.
Since first bursting onto the scene with the now classic album, Wide Angle, in 1999, the Swansea, Wales-based Hybrid have been known as one of the most forward thinking and technically skilled acts in electronic dance music. Blurring the line between in-studio production and live presentation, Hybrid are one of the few remaining dance acts to perform live with a classic band setup.
Though, much has changed on the road to Hybrid's fourth artist album Disappear Here. Most notable is the addition of Hybrid's third member – singer / songwriter Charlotte James – to go along with founders Chris Healings and Mike Truman.
With Disappear Here, Hybrid have managed to create an epic and unique sound which has progressed dramatically from its original dance inception but still retains much of what makes electronic music so exciting. The album features guest vocals from Tim Hutton, drums from Alex Madge and the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra.

Can You Hear me
Hybrid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cut the ties that held me
Crying out at the top of my voice
Tell me now if you can hear me
I'm awake today
I've got something to say
Can you hear me now?
You'd better make way
I've got something to say
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
I'm awake today
I've got something to say
Can you hear me now?
No need to obey
I've got something to say
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
Tear down these walls
Cut the ties that held me
Crying out at the top of my voice
Tell me now can you hear me?
The lyrics of Hybrid's song Can You Hear Me convey a sense of urgency and desperation. The singer is pleading to be heard, to be understood, and to be freed from whatever is holding them back. The repeated line "Tear down these walls, cut the ties that held me" suggests that the singer feels trapped, and needs to break free in order to express themselves fully. They are crying out at the top of their voice, but are unsure if anyone is really listening.
The chorus of the song is both a declaration of intent and a question to the listener: "I'm awake today, I've got something to say, can you hear me now?" The singer is telling us that they are no longer content to be silent, and that they have an important message to share. But at the same time, they are asking if anyone is really paying attention. The chorus also features the line "You'd better make way," which suggests that the singer is not going to be held back any longer, and that they are determined to be heard.
Overall, the lyrics of Can You Hear Me are a powerful call to action for anyone who has ever felt unheard or dismissed. The song encourages us to break down the walls that keep us from expressing ourselves fully, and to make our voices heard loud and clear.

the mix of fundamental rock, beat, and baseline, and orchestral sound is an absolute hook
@Lallushe
This is when you're walking in the streets in the middle of the night with a group of friends and just dancing to this song and feeling the energy of the nightlife. Well done :P

Why only on YouTube(for this version)?
Asking because this is better than what I can buy in iTunes.
Btw...superb juxtapositions at the end; yet again proving what I'm gonna say...
@Thribbulous
Simply superb. If you don't have the album (Disappear Here), buy it. For God's sake, buy it. You won't regret it.
