Although only young, Kid Hudson already boasts an impressive musical career that includes national and international radio broadcasts, national television appearances, hundreds of live performances, significant social media attention and a strong and loyal fan base.
Kid’s affinity with music began early, being exposed to performing live with his older brothers on stage where he demonstrated an uncanny ability to hold a drum beat at the tender age of two. A year later he joined his brother, Dee, in forming their own duo known as The Blue Suedes who performed regularly, winning a variety of talent show competitions as well as appearing on Channel 9’s Pot of Gold. His prodigious talent continued to shine when at the age of five he began learning how to play the guitar and wrote his first few songs for family and friends.
As the years progressed, Kid continued to express himself through music, experimenting with a variety of genres including playing guitar with glam-metal outfit Renegade and back to being a stand-up drummer for punk rockers Runaway Boys with his brothers Dizzy and Dee. Runaway Boys became an instant cult hit on the punk scene and cracked the charts with their pulsating rocker Fallen Down before the band suffered the tragic loss of Dee in late 2007 to cancer. Disillusioned by the passing of his brother, Kid withdrew himself from music for two years. Ironically, however, it would be music that would ultimately re-ignite Kid and provide him with the medium to express his hopes, fears and Dreams.
Dreams of Leaving represented a new chapter in Kid’s musical life. As the frontman he was focused, driven and dynamic on stage. His energy and enthusiasm were infectious and a legion of new diehard fans quickly emerged. Behind the scenes he was active in writing, performing and producing the band’s material, often working around the clock in the studio until he was satisfied with the finished track. The band released their Everytime EP with instant local success, touring nationally and generating plenty of interest in the band’s hijinks through their documented Everytime-a-sodes posted regularly on YouTube. Kid recognised early on the importance and benefits of utilising social media like Facebook in connecting with fans with a highlight trending three times in one night on Twitter: Dreams of Leaving. After a whirlwind two years, Dreams of Leaving made a mutual agreement to part ways disbanding in mid-2011.
Not one to view this as a setback, Kid worked tirelessly back in the studio and released his debut solo single Told You So Ft. Marcus on July 15th 2011. The track skyrocketed in sales on iTunes selling over 3,000 copies in just 48 hours. The single was picked up by Byron Cooke and Australia's hit music stations such as Fox FM (Melbourne), 2 Day FM (Sydney), B105 FM (Brisbane), 929 FM (Perth), SA FM (Adelaide) and NX FM (Newcastle). Requested to the peak, Hot 30 Countdown couldn't resist playing the track also.
Kid Hudson is a unique and talented young individual. His music connects with his generation and his professionalism is only matched by the generosity he shows his fans. Kid Hudson is an international star of the future. Make sure you’re there when it happens.
Everytime
KId Hudson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It’s what you wanted from the start I know I wasn’t there
To make you feel alive, I made you feel alone
You cry and tell me I’m not listening to
You, me, us, everytime we touch
You, go; you go
I can’t think of the words to say
To make you stay just one more night
Feel alone but I’m not left out
Tell myself that it’s all about
Remembering just who I am, without you
I used to think your life meant more to me than I did mine
I get that little more addicted almost everytime
You wouldn’t come outside, to make me realise
You cry and tell me I’m not listening to
You, me, us, everytime we touch
You, go; you go
The lyrics to Kid Hudson's song Everytime speak about the struggle within a relationship. The singer of the song acknowledges the fact that the relationship isn't going anywhere, but it's what the other person wanted from the start. He understands that he wasn't there to make them feel alive, but rather he made them feel alone. The partner in the relationship keeps walking away, and the singer finds himself alone, not knowing the right words to say to make them stay for one more night.
He used to think that his partner's life was more important than his, but he is realizing that he is addicted to them, and they don't seem to realize his worth in their life. He tries to make them realize by taking steps outside, but they still don't seem to understand. The chorus of the song emphasizes the feeling of how things touch only to vanish, just like their relationship. The song Everytime conveys a feeling of sadness, loneliness and desperation.
Line by Line Meaning
I think it's time I told you, we’re not going anywhere
It's time I reveal the truth - we are not advancing in our relationship
It’s what you wanted from the start I know I wasn’t there
I realize that you wanted me in the beginning, but I wasn't present
To make you feel alive, I made you feel alone
I tried to revive your spirit, but instead isolated you
You cry and tell me I’m not listening to
You express your emotions, but feel unheard by me
You, me, us, everytime we touch
The connection between us is undeniable
You, go; you go
You keep leaving
Everytime you walk away
Whenever you exit from my life
I can’t think of the words to say
I struggle to express my feelings
To make you stay just one more night
To convince you to remain with me for another evening
Feel alone but I’m not left out
Although I feel lonely, I'm not completely deserted
Tell myself that it’s all about
I reassure myself that everything will work out
Remembering just who I am, without you
Recalling my identity, separate from our relationship
I used to think your life meant more to me than I did mine
Previously, I believed that your existence held greater significance than my own
I get that little more addicted almost everytime
Each time we are together, I become even more dependent on you
You wouldn’t come outside, to make me realise
You declined to step out with me, making me comprehend your intentions
