There is another artist with the same name:
2) Savages is an electronic musician from Hungary, born in 1981 in Balassagyarmat and currently living in Budapest. He had classic musical education and played on trumpet for about 7 years, and then he got his first PC.
It was a turning-point and from that moment he was much more interested in making music with computers. His early demo tapes were inspired by the rave era and after the end of this period he became ‘more’ serious and open-minded to other musical styles like jazz, funk, soul, contemporary, etc.
Savages released his solo debut album (Five Finger Discount) in 2008 through Chameleon Records. In the same year he met Suefo (also a member of Vono Box) and they started working together on tracks and remixes. Since then they did remixes for !DelaDap, [dunkelbunt], Max Pashm, Rube, Kid Loco, [re:jazz], Danilo Venturi to name a few. The two members came from the same eclectic music scene of Budapest. They play downtempo, breaks, jazz, funk, hip-hop, dub, electro swing and all kinds of multikulti folk in their dj sets and they incorporate the same variety in their own music as well. These days they’re busy working on some new remixes and organising new clubnights to promote electroswing phenomena in Hungary.
Strife
Savages Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They ask me if I care
They wonder how come the years
Haven't sought more lover's tear, oh!
They question that it's true
A love which never wilts
And they go, and they seek you there
And they must seek you there
Down in the strife
And they must seek you there
Where death outnumbers life, oh!
Mm, oh!
Ooh, and they have no idea
What we do at night, yeah
And how for you and I
The hour never strikes, oh!
They wonder how we do it
They wonder how come
How come I've been doing things with you
I would never tell my mom
And they must seek you there
Down in the strife
And they must seek you there
Where death outnumbers life, oh!
Down in the strife, oh, oh, oh
