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 β 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 β singer / songwriter Charlotte James β 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.

Drummer Richard Brooke, guitarist Martin Hayter and keyboard player / vocalist Dave Boland first met together and started playing their own, unique brand of rock in the very early nineties. 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 feat. Julee Cruise
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 of Hybrid/Julee Cruise's song "If I Survive" paint a picture of someone who is in a dire situation, fighting for their life. The first few lines suggest that the singer is barely holding on, as they describe breathing shallowly and slipping away. The line "Hanging in the gallows, I'm starting to pray" conjures up an image of someone about to be hanged, but still holding out hope for a miracle. The next lines reveal that someone has planned intentionally to "do away" with the singer, but words won't make them bleed. The singer seems to be defiant, calling out to their attacker and essentially challenging them to kill them. However, they also express the possibility of surviving, and living to tell the truth. They acknowledge that their survival would be surprising, but would provide them with the opportunity to start a new life and hide. The last lines show no mercy as the singer warns their attacker that they will go down if they survive.
The song seems to be about someone who has been wronged, possibly betrayed or hurt by someone they trusted. They are in a vulnerable position and are fighting for their life, but they also express a sense of defiance and strength. The singer is determined to survive and seek justice for what has been done to them. The lyrics suggest a sense of desperation, but also a glimmer of hope that things will get better if they can just make it through the ordeal.

Lyrics Julee Cruise
Breathing shallow,
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 wont make me bleed
So what if I survive,
and live to tell the truth
Imagine my suprise,
to find me living and so very much alive
I'll find a new life and hide if I survive
But I swear your 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 your 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 your going down if I survive
