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.

Excuses for why I shouldn't call you
Every muscle, every fibre,
Every hair object to the very idea
I just can't put my finger on
However hard I try to slap away the halo around you
Still it lingers and abruptly
Without warning bitter memories appear
When I think on it for long enough
Of all the time we wasted on each other's love
It's a wonder that I still believe the sun is coming up tomorrow
What was once so fine, has been broken and burned
So I wait here in the dark, for the light to return
Blinded, I was blinded 'til I knew only the good love survives
Blinded, 'til I understood that only the good love survives
Only the good love survives
But we were only wasting time
But we were only wasting time
All those wringing hands
And cheap ideas we could reason as failures
But to run it through again
Would only serve to do nobody no good
So let the universe decide
How we can loosen all the knots and tangled ways we came to
And resolve to never speak of it again
Oh love if only we could
When I think on it for long enough
Of all the time we wasted on each other's love
It's a wonder that I still believe the sun is coming up tomorrow
What was once so fine, has been broken and burned
So I wait here in the dark, for the light to return
Blinded, I was blinded 'til I knew only the good love survives
Blinded, 'til I understood that only the good love survives,
Only the good love survives
But you and I were wasting time
But you and I were wasting time
The lyrics to On and On's song Wasting Time describe the internal struggle of wanting to reach out to an old love but ultimately feeling the futility of doing so. The lyrics convey the difficulty in letting go of memories and emotions that still linger, despite the relationship having been broken and burned. The singer longs to believe that love can survive, but ultimately realizes that only the good love can endure and that their relationship was only a waste of time. The idea of being blinded by love is also woven throughout the lyrics, perhaps indicating that the singer was unable to see the truth of their situation until it was too late.
The repetition of the line "When I think on it for long enough / Of all the time we wasted on each other's love" underscores the theme of time as a precious resource that cannot be regained. The song suggests that it is better to move on and let the universe decide the course of the relationship. The use of the word "resolve" in the line "And resolve to never speak of it again" hints at a sense of closure, of finally accepting that it is time to move on.
Overall, the lyrics to Wasting Time are a poignant reminder of the complexity of love and the pain of letting go. The song captures the emotions of heartbreak and the difficulty of breaking free from the past, while also acknowledging the importance of learning from one's mistakes and moving forward.

I'm sitting here flipping through
I am currently looking through
Excuses for why I shouldn't call you
Coming up with reasons for not contacting you
Every muscle, every fibre,
Each part of my body
Every hair object to the very idea
My hair even disagrees with the thought
I just can't put my finger on
I cannot explain
However hard I try to slap away the halo around you
Even if I were to try to forget the good things about you
Still it lingers and abruptly
But those thoughts persist and suddenly
Without warning bitter memories appear
Painful memories come back without notice
When I think on it for long enough
After reflecting on it extensively
Of all the time we wasted on each other's love
The duration we spent on each other's affection
It's a wonder that I still believe the sun is coming up tomorrow
I'm surprised that I still have hope for the future
What was once so fine, has been broken and burned
Our love, which was once great, has been destroyed
So I wait here in the dark, for the light to return
I'm here in the darkness, waiting for things to get better
Blinded, I was blinded 'til I knew only the good love survives
At first, I was blind to the fact that only true love can last
Blinded, 'til I understood that only the good love survives
I was unaware that only real love endures
But we were only wasting time
But we were only spending time on something meaningless
All those wringing hands
Our nervous fingers
And cheap ideas we could reason as failures
We concocted excuses for our unsuccessful relationship
But to run it through again
To try it again
Would only serve to do nobody no good
Would not benefit anyone
So let the universe decide
We'll leave it to fate
How we can loosen all the knots and tangled ways we came to
How to unravel the complexities of our relationship
And resolve to never speak of it again
And agree to not mention it anymore
Oh love if only we could
If only it were that simple
But you and I were wasting time
We were just killing time

Jesus is the way to Heaven , there is no other way. We have to do what God demands of us. So if you believe in God , but don't pray. Don't know the Bible. You can start today , theres no use in just treating God like he's an after thought. That is if you truly love him and wish to go to Heaven. If it takes humbling yourself will you do it ? If it takes studying the word and praying, if you love God you will do these things.
Jesus is the way , love to all here.
Take thought of what I said. Also Imagine we believe God but we say what is right for us to do as if we are God himself. We make our own rules for our life and claim to love God, we claim we are going to Heaven by default. But the way we think and what we do has been effected by the environment around us and the nature we are faced with being humans that are sinners. We go against God, everyone has.
So it is no surprise that we humans can claim things and be wrong. We cannot make the rules that we want , we are below God. We're all guilty , we have to do What God says is right to love God. We have to love his rules and what he says. We can't play by our own rules and win in the end if those rules don't apply to the game. Just because we say we will go to Heaven does that make it true just because we said it. We need to check with God and his word.
So do some thinking and think about it. Have you truly seeked God ?
Are you completely transparent with your own faults and shortcomings?
Do you suffer with pride , talking about others , not forgiving people, anger. Sadness. Im sure many relate to me and how I've acted then. And the things I've felt.
I'm just like everyone else , a sinner in need of Jesus. I made mistakes I still struggle sometimes. *I'm not defending anything I've done wrong I'm only being honest.
Honesty is key , your real thoughts and feelings. What you go through and are dealing with.
Get to know Jesus, you don't have to. But if you love God and Heaven is something important to you then there's no better thing to do. Literally
I have to say this , Hell is real and people do go there. Till this day and until the end of revelation takes place.
I have to be honest because I don't want anyone to Be tricked into going there. See , satan has to trick us to go to Hell. It's when we believe him and his lies *like Adam and eve
we get pulled away from God and in the end humans go to Hell if they don't listen to Gods Warnings and accept his mercy and grace.
This is a warning and a reminder out of love. Because God cares where we end up.

Might give you some insight
[Pre-Chorus: Brent Faiyaz]

All them drinkin' the champagne

[Verse 4: Drake]
Yeah
The Ten Thousand Building, get your ass an apartment
Put you inside a G-Class, that's just a starter kit
Plenty things count in life, but none of them is a thought of it
New piece around my neck, it's chest games
'Cause shorty stay with calculatin' moves, like Beth Harmon
Swear I'm more "Purple Rain" Prince than Prince Charmin'
Disappointment, I stay expectin' it, the pessimist gold medalist
Flushed the Magnums just so they not collectin' my specimens, damn (Damn)
The way she with papi, man, you would think she's a veteran on remembrance
Cleanin' lady sweep the room daily for all the evidence
Of everything I ever did (I ever did)
Do they have a pool there? Do they have a gym there?
You used to do skincare, but now you do swimwear
Your ex-roommate got a condo that's downtown
But she got no furniture in the crib, I've been there (Been there)
Checkmate, even though you hate that I even check her
I'll still get an E for effort
Only time I play the back and forth is Aaliyah record
If I let you talk first, then nobody is speakin' second
Fluent in passive aggression, that's why you actin' dismissive
Hearin' me out for once would require you actually listen, damn (Damn)
The boy is back, I never turned my back
I just lapped 'em, so now all that they see is my back
Say that then, Maybach Benz with me in the back
When I was in Acura, still couldn't clean up my act
Whenever I tell the truth, you feel like you bein' attacked
But that come with bein' attached, so how 'bout we leave it at that? (Leave it at that)
[Chorus: Brent Faiyaz]
If you're gonna waste your time
Then waste your time with me
You can have all the space
More than you need
It's no pressure, girl
If you got time to waste (Waste)
Waste it with me
