W, Planningtorock's critically acclaimed 2011 debut on DFA, revealed a visionary and politicised producer. It offered up deeply queered art-pop – tense, atmospheric dance music cut with classical flourishes, and spell-binding androgyny. But it was 2014’s All Love's Legal (“a masterclass in left-of-centre dance music”, Mixmag), released on Rostron's own imprint Human Level, where Planningtorock, with banner-ready slogans (‘ Patriarchy Over And Out’, ‘ Let's Talk About Gender Baby’), revealed their ability to combine pop-oriented music with a political message. Powerhouse offers up something infinitely more personal: emotionally-charged, biographical anthems drawn from Rostron’s lived experiences as a non-binary genderqueer artist, experiences around family, identity and music itself.
The One
Planningtorock Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We grow to give
We stop to move
We move to live
Someone's meaning a lot to me
We turn and we take
We hurt
We break
We pain
We cry
But someone's meaning a lot to me
And I don't want to fight it
I want to know it
I don't want to hide it
I want to love it
Someone's meaning a lot to me
You are meaning a lot to me
I know the void, the void knows me.
It keeps us weak, the void told me
That you are meaning a lot to me.
And I don't want to fight it
I want to know it
I don't want to hide it
I want to love it
Someone's meaning a lot to me
You are meaning a lot to me
You are meaning a lot to me
You are meaning a lot to me
You are meaning a lot to me
You are meaning a lot to me
You are meaning a lot to me
You are meaning a lot to me
You are meaning a lot to me

Planningtorock has stated that the distortion of her vocals allows for the "playing around with gender alongside communicating what I feel is the emotions within the songs. Because I am really interested in expanding upon the limits that we live in – how we are defined – and it is an experiment
