Now as the name may suggest, Jeremy has embraced technology in all its illustrious forms and creates his finely woven tapestry of sounds using his Guitar, Ukelele, harmonica and beatbox skills. He runs this all through a gamut of loop pedals, echo and distortion units and through the speakers to leave a crowd quite literally awe-struck, standing there going..."where is this all coming from?"
And there's the buzz word - Crowd.
Whereas Jeremy still sees his project as having the right amount of "pop-sensibility" that will appeal to a mass audience from a listening point of view, he much prefers playing live. Interactivity and crowd participation are key to the creation of his multi-layered structure of beats and rhythms. Having built his career from a very early stage with rapper, Trak, the two exude a perfectly ordered mish-mash of folk, hip-hop, blue-grass funk and blues.
Not simply content with growing his own musical career, Jeremy is also quite literally growing Cape Town and South Africa, heading up the agricultural revolution that is GreenPop - An initiative which is spearheading the conscious push to plant more trees and reduce carbon emissions, amongst other noble ideals.

Power
Jeremy Loops Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And being what I want to be
And I'll do what I want to do
Cause it's you,
It's you,
You come and help me break through
Cause you've got power, oh
And you've got power, oh
Now don't stop your heart showing it, no no
Now I was lonely, emptied out
I was working unfamiliar hours
I was not doing anything
That I wanted to do,
But now you know I got power, oh
You're living in my emotions, oh
And that I got power, oh
And I won't stop my heart showing it, no no
So take one look where you are now
Feel good that you got this far
Be sure to take a little time
To help a fellow out
And tell them that they got power, oh
You're living in their emotions, oh
And that they got power, oh
And to never stop their hearts showing it, no no
We got power
The lyrics in "Power" by Jeremy Loops describe the feeling of empowerment that comes when someone is able to overcome obstacles and achieve their goals with the help of another person. The first verse speaks to the idea that sometimes we can be limited by our own perceptions, but when we have someone in our lives who supports and encourages us, our potential is limitless. The chorus reinforces this idea by saying that this person has power and that they shouldn't be afraid to show it.
The second verse speaks to the personal journey of the singer. They were feeling lost and unfulfilled until they found someone who helped them discover their own power. The bridge of the song encourages us to take a moment to appreciate how far we've come, and also to help others realize their own potential by acknowledging their power.
Overall, the lyrics encourage us to surround ourselves with supportive people who can help us reach our full potential and to empower others by acknowledging their own power.
