Citing influences as diverse as Timbaland, Rage Against the Machine, A Guy Called Gerald and SebastiAn, this British duo demanded our immediate attention after their gob-smacking take on Boy 8-Bit’s anthem Fogbank dropped earlier this year. What followed were bass-heavy collaborations with Deekline and Wizard, bombastic refixes of Trip’s guitar-driven Who’s That? and The Black Ghosts classic I Want Nothing and the unforgettable transformation of Epic Last Song by Does It Offend You, Yeah? into a classic pop-dance tune.
Now the newest member of the Cheap Thrills ranks (home also to Sinden, Herve, Detboi, Machines Don’t Care) and a firm-favourite for lovers of all things glitchy and fidgety.
Somebody To Love
Jack Beats Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
we know many
im still moving on my own
i follow bright lights
there are not alone
i know i have a place to go
we were shooting in the dark to find somebody to love x 2
love love love
i follow bright lights
there are not alone
i know i have a place to go
so move it move it
love love love
The lyrics to Jack Beats's song "Somebody to Love" convey a sense of longing for emotional connection and companionship. The opening line, "two hearts and like minds," suggests that the singer is seeking someone who shares their values and desires, and the next line, "we know many," implies that they have encountered numerous people in their search. However, despite this, the singer admits that they are "still moving on my own," suggesting that none of these previous connections have been what they truly desire.
The following lines, "I follow bright lights / There are not alone / I know I have a place to go," reinforce this sense of aimlessness and yearning for something more. The repetition of "I follow bright lights" implies that the singer is constantly seeking out new experiences and opportunities, but still feels isolated and disconnected from those around them. The final lines of the chorus, "We were shooting in the dark to find somebody to love," encapsulate this sense of searching blindly for love and connection in a chaotic and confusing world.
Overall, the lyrics to "Somebody to Love" paint a vivid portrait of the human struggle for authentic connection and the loneliness that can come with it.

That bassline uses a pretty generic sound, and yet somehow the end result is awesome and totally non-generic
