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.

Along with bassist Paul Brown, they wrote and sporadically gigged for almost three years which resulted in them recording a set of demos known as the 'Lost in Relativity' tapes.

If I Survive
Hybrid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm slipping away.
Hanging in the gallows,
I'm starting to pray.
How careful it was planned to do away with me;
So kill me if you can,
But words won't make be bleed.
So what if I survive,
Imagine my surprise,
To find me living and so very much alive!
I'll find a new life and hide,
If I survive.
But I swear you're going down if I survive!
I'll find a new life and hide if I survive.
I'll find my own place in time if I survive.
I'll learn to forget the crime if I survive
But I swear you're going down if I survive!
If I survive I'll tell on you.
I'll find a new life and hide if I survive.
I'll find my own place in time if I survive.
I'll learn to forget the crime if I survive
But I swear you're going down if I survive!
The lyrics in Hybrid's song "If I Survive" express the emotions of someone who is facing a life or death situation, but even in the face of death, they refuse to let their assailant or attacker win. The opening lines set the tone of the song, describing the singer's physical state as they slip away, while the gallows symbolize the looming threat of death. Despite the tension, the singer is determined to live and is praying for survival, while recognizing that their assailant had planned their demise with careful calculation. However, words won't break the singer, and they won't give up or back down easily.
The chorus embodies the theme of resilience and survival as the singer declares that they will start a new life and find a safe place to hide should they make it out alive. The lines also suggest that their attacker will face justice for their action as the singer vows to bring them down.
The repetition of "If I survive" reinforces the sense of fragility and uncertainty of the situation. Still, it also fuels the singer's determination to walk away from the menacing situation alive.
Overall, these lyrics showcase an individual who refuses to cower in the face of danger, determined to come out alive and find justice if they do. It is about resilience, strength, and the will to survive.

RIP Julee Cruise. "If I Survive" was my introduction to Hybrid. I don't know if I would've ever known about Hybrid if it weren't for this song, so thank you Julee and thank you Hybrid for putting her on this.
@TeeCee_DF
Wow. Was not aware of who she was except for right now seeing the credits and your mention. I bought this record new in 1999 and played this track in clubs in NOLA having no idea how they managed such killer vocals on an outstanding track.
