Right from the start, On And On Records stands out for its authenticity and its innovative take on the music business. Hocus Pocus’ second LP 73 Touches is released by On And On in 2005 which brings a considerable amount of attention to the refreshing label. Soon catching up with the hype and without compromising its sharp and exclusive edge, the label releases Place 54, Hocus Pocus’ fourth album, in 2006. Rewarded by a Gold Record, the opus fast tracks the label out of the independent scene. From that point, On And On keeps asserting itself as a key player on the contemporary music scene, until reaching colossal success with C2C’s first full-length record Tetra, crediting the crew with four French Grammys and a double Platinium Record.
On And On has remained grounded and true to itself despite the huge amount of exposure gotten since 2006. Now fully operational without having to compromise, the label works on both major releases and artists’ development. Recent releases like Ledeunff and 20syl’s EPs, embody On And On’s ability to build an audience for singular and eclectic artists.
I Wanted to Say More
On and On Lyrics

I did nothing watch us separate
What should I do now
run and chase You down
I can't hesitate
'Cause all I wanted to say was something real
All I want you to know is how I feel
but I'm stuck here at the start
It's on the tip of my tongue but I'm still afraid
Sometimes the only things words do is get in the way
Sometimes the easiest things are the hardest to say
But I don't want to lose you, drive you away
I don't want to confuse you, I need you to say
only wish you knew what I wanted to say
only wish you knew what I wanted to say
My hands are shaking
I'm yours for the taking
Don't you hesitate
Please just do one thing
One small sign something
Let's jump off the edge
'Cause all I want you to say is something real
All I wanted to know is how you feel
All I wanted you to give is your heart
But we're stuck here at the start
It's on the tip of my tongue but I'm still afraid
Sometimes the only things words do is get in the way
Sometimes the easiest things are the hardest to say
But I don't want to lose you drive you away
I don't want to confuse you I need you to say
Only wish you knew what I wanted to say
Only wish you knew what I wanted to say
It's on the tip of my tongue but I'm still afraid
Sometimes the only things words do is get in the way
Sometimes the easiest things are the hardest to say
But I don't want to lose you
I don't wanna lose you
No I don't wanna lose you
No I don't wanna lose you
I should've done something
I should've done something
I should've done something
But I never wanted to
I should've done something
I should've done something
I should've done something
But I never wanted to
I don't wanna lose you
No I don't wanna lose you
I should've done something
I should've done something
I should've done something
But I never wanted to
I should've done something
I should've done something
I should've done something
But I never wanted to
The lyrics of this On and On song speak about missed opportunities and potential regret in a relationship. The singer reflects on the fact that they should have done something to prevent the separation between them and their partner, yet they did nothing instead. Now, they are left with the fear of losing the person they care about and not being able to express their true feelings. The singer wishes to convey their genuine emotions but is held back by fear and uncertainty. They are in a vulnerable state, hoping for a small sign from their partner that would give them the courage to take the leap of faith and try again.
The repetition of the phrase "I should've done something" throughout the song emphasizes the regret and frustration of the singer. They feel powerless and incapable of changing what has already happened, hence their focus on expressing their true feelings now. However, the fear of rejection and being misunderstood is holding them back. The chorus highlights the singer's desire for a genuine and honest connection with their partner, as they yearn for mutual trust and openness. The song ends on a note of uncertainty, with the singer still in a state of fear and not having taken any action yet.
