A native of Reading, England, Lewis first became interested in music in his teens and played in several bands before he started experimenting with remixing tracks. Influenced by the introspective pop of Bon Iver and James Blake, as well as the club-ready hip-hop of artists like Common, Timbaland, and the Neptunes, Lewis began posting his own evocative, moody tracks online. He quickly built a loyal following, and eventually nabbed a residency DJ'ing at London's Chibuku Club.
In 2014, his remix of Jessie Ware's song "You & I (Forever)" caught the attention of Ware's label, PMR Records, who then signed him. A year later, he released his debut EP, Shivers. In 2016, Lewis delivered his sophomore EP, Yours, which included the track "Holding Back," featuring Gallant. Lewis' 2017 output consisted of the Toulouse-aided single "Times We Had" and the solo track "Smart Aleck Kill." He returned in January 2018 with "Aura," a bright yet low-key track featuring vocalist J Warner. The song appeared on the disco-influenced Dusk, which kicked off a trilogy of club-centric EPs slated to appear under the combined full-length album title of Dusk, Dark, Dawn. Meanwhile, he continued releasing singles including 2019's "Blue" and the Clairo collaboration "Throwaway." ~ Matt Collar
Coming Up
SG Lewis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The heat was rising
Silhouettes (silhouettes) in the dark
With bodies moving, mm
Oh, saw a vision I couldn't believe
A fantasy, yeah
Ooh, there you were just right in front of me
Then you started dancing
Like nobody was watching
I met your eye, as you caught mine
You moved a little closer
And whispered something to me
You said, "I'm high," but so was I
But now we're coming up together
Coming up
And now we're coming up together
Coming up, coming up, ooh
In the smoke, dappled light
And good vibrations
Hazel eyes (hazel eyes), porcelain
An illustration
Ooh, saw a vision I couldn't believe
A fantasy, yeah
Ooh, there you were just right in front of me
Then you started dancing
Like nobody was watching
I met your eye, as you caught mine
You moved a little closer
And whispered something to me
You said, "I'm high," but so was I
And now we're coming up together
Ah, yeah
And now we're coming up together
Ah, yeah
I wanna feel this high forever
Ah, yeah
And now we're coming up together
Coming up, coming up, ooh
The lyrics to SG Lewis's song Coming Up portray a night out at a club, filled with heat, movement, and sensuality. The scene is set with the opening lines, "Under the lights, through the door / The heat was rising." The description of silhouettes in the dark and bodies moving adds to the sensual nature of the scene. The singer sees someone they find highly attractive and can't believe their eyes. The lyrics use phrases like "saw a vision I couldn't believe" and "A fantasy, yeah" to emphasize the singer's astonishment at their immediate attraction.
As the night progresses, the two individuals begin dancing in a way that suggests they are completely in the moment and unconcerned with anyone else. The lyrics "Like nobody was watching / I met your eye, as you caught mine / You moved a little closer / And whispered something to me / You said, 'I'm high,' but so was I" show how in the moment they both were. They were enjoying the music, the atmosphere, and each other.
The repetition of lyrics "And now we're coming up together" emphasizes the bonding experience that is happening as they dance together. They are both feeling high, and the music, atmosphere, and each other have all contributed to that feeling. The intense desire to feel that way forever is summed up in the lyrics, "I wanna feel this high forever."
Overall, the song Coming Up is an ode to the wonderful feelings that can arise from shared experiences like a night at a club. The lyrics convey the sense of euphoria and connection that can come from letting go of worries and immersing oneself in the moment.
