1) Mark Knight is head of Toolroom Records & a UK DJ / producer. He has stamped his impression on the scene of electronic dance music - through a string of releases & parties - highlighting his label. Often collaborating with fellow British DJ Funkagenda, Mark has been at the forefront of commercial house, techno & tech house. Some of his most successful releases are Man With The Red Face (with Funkagenda), Downpipe (with Underworld & D. Ramirez) & an Underworld rework - Beautiful Burnout (Mark Knight Remix).
2) LA Guitarist Mark Knight's first band was this band called Krude Witch and at sixteen or seventeen played The Troubadour and all the major clubs in Hollywood. Opened up for W.A.S.P. and Ratt. Then that band disbanded, and he put this band together Mickey Knight. It was right around ’84-’85 and the scene was pulsing, all the hair bands. So, Poison, Ratt, all those bands were selling out and the whole scene was starting — and really the Sunset Strip scene was starting to happen. Mickey Knight never got a record deal, but he went on to do City Slick, and then eventually Bang Tango.
Alright

To a word I say
Kill enthusiasm
'Cause I've found that day
Though it over and over and over again
Then you wrip me down
Trying over and over and over again
You're a fool
You're gonna end up in a hole
You never finish what you started
Forever telling you I though it over and over and over again
See it coming for you
See it every day
Try to ignore you
You get my way (yeah yeah yeah!)
And it's alright
Gonna end up in a hole
Now you got me moving
Now I've got a taste
You can't stop me smiling
I'm laughing in your face
It's true
You're gonna end up in a hole
You never finish what you started
Forever telling you I though it over and over and over again
See it coming for you
See it every day
Try to ignore you
You get my way (yeah yeah yeah!)
And it's alright
Gonna end up in a hole
Laugh about me all you like
Talk behind me, I don't mind
Let me tell you I'm alright
Gonna end up in a hole (whoa-oa-oa)
Laugh about me all you like (whoa-oa-oa)
Talk behind me, I don't mind (whoa-oa-oa)
Let me tell you I'm alright!
Thought it over, over and over
Thought it over, over again
See it coming for you
See it every day
Try to ignore you
You get my way (yeah yeah yeah!)
And it's alright
Gonna end up in a hole
You're gonna end up in a hole
You never finish what you started
Don't mind me telling you I though it over and over and over again
The lyrics of Mark Knight's song Alright seem to convey a sense of frustration towards someone who never follows through on what they say they will do. The singer, feeling unheard, believes that their enthusiasm for the other person's ideas are being killed by their lack of follow-through. The repeated refrain of "thought it over and over and over again" further emphasizes this sense of exasperation. Despite this, the singer ultimately accepts the situation with a feeling of resignation, noting that the other person will "end up in a hole" and indicating that they themselves are content with being "alright" in the end.
Overall, the song seems to be a commentary on the destructive power of empty promises and the importance of following through on one's intentions. It suggests that while it may be frustrating to deal with someone who never finishes what they start, ultimately it is up to each individual to choose whether to get bogged down in negativity or to accept the situation and find peace regardless.

It's really awesome to see the comments and appreciation for good uplifting club house tunes. Not everything has to be dark, deep, and dirty.
