1. A French Electronic music producer (now named Tommy '86), very inspired by 80's music such as synth-wave, synth-pop, new-wave, italo-disco, and other related genres. He started to make music in mid-2011, but produced his first synthwave tracks only at the beginning of 2012. After listening to a track of College he had the idea to do this kind of music. His first synth-wave productions had enough feedback to encourage him to continue. Tommy has released a few singles, three EP, one LP and some remixes, for other synth-wave artists such as Awkoder, Protector 101, Future Feelings and Gossip Culture. He also released three other remixes for three more established electronic artists: Kavinsky, Lifelike and Sébastien Tellier. "Getting high" is one of the four remixes chosen by Lifelike & Popular Computer themselves and has been released on their own Computer Science label.
2. Pop-punk band from Ukiah, CA with a penchant for gang vocals. Comprised of: Tim Parks - Guitar, Vocals; Christian Freeman - Drums; Luke Slinkert - Vox, Guitar and Chad Goodin - Bass, Vocals and signed to independent label Bound By The Black Rag records. They kick it.
3. Songwriter, Tommy Donald Colin from Belgium writes his songs, his words and composes his arrangements on his own, creating a sensitive sound directed towards melody, giving a positive energy while remaining cool. Then he leaves his roots, folk, rock, oriental or still electro, and surrounds himself with his musicians Dominique Djian (keys), Olivier Duck Calmeyn (bass) and Benoit Fix Derycke (drums) with whom a genuine band spirit has arisen.
4. Tommy is a 4 piece rock band that originated in Beijing. All 4 met as expats living overseas and formed in early 2005. Members include Joe Bissell (guitar, vocals), David Su (drums), Mitchell Marecki (bass), Chris Suderman (Keyboards, backing vocals). Their style involves extensive jams, fusing of many genres into rock (suck as jazz, and even Indian melodies), and unorthodox stage shows. Tommy has recently had an offer to sign to a record label in Beijing which they had to refuse due to legal complications.
5. Tommy from New Zealand brings together the moods of reggae, rock, soul and a dash of pop in a melodic melting pot to form their 'folk roots' sound. Comfortably sitting alongside the adult contemporary music of Jack Johnson and the John Butler Trio, Tommy's sound is rooted in soothing melodies and flowing piano lines which meld in an organic blend that is unmistakably from Aotearoa.
6. There is also a duo comprised of Carrie Brownstein and Lois Maffeo called Tommy, and they've only recorded a song called "Go Sonics".
7. A Norwegian guitarist and vocalist. Is a guitarist in the famous Norwegian folkrock band, PLUMBO.
8. Another project by Hayden Anhedönia (Ethel Cain).

I'm the shepherd of my flock, fuck the rest
She my whole team, watch me fuck the rest
I'm the shepherd of my flock, fuck the rest
She my whole team, watch me fuck the rest
I'm the shepherd of my flock, fuck the rest
She my whole team, watch me fuck the rest
I'm the shepherd of my flock, fuck the rest
[Verse 1]
All dem' birdies that flock, flocking with the kamikaze
See me chilling hill side on our crouched apple bottoms
I'm that shepherd that flock like I'm fucking with the commas
I'm that shepherd that flock like I'm fucking with the commas
Fish and bread, I be looking to the heavens for my money
Fish and bread, I be walking on the water with dem' hunnies
Baby girl, giving head in the water with my money
GPS, you gon' find me in the middle of an island
Tribal heads all around me but I'm fucking with that money
Tribal heads all around me but they loving up my honeys
Walking back on the water in the come down of an era
Walking back in my fish nets and the Gods call it business
[Hook]
I'm the shepherd of my flock, fuck the rest
She my whole team, watch me fuck the rest
I'm the shepherd of my flock, fuck the rest
She my whole team, watch me fuck the rest
I'm the shepherd of my flock, fuck the rest
She my whole team, watch me fuck the rest
I'm the shepherd of my flock, fuck the rest
She my whole team, watch me fuck the rest
[Verse 2]
It's a game to you, God
All this time tryna teach a lesson to me, God, huh?
I ain't insane to you, God
I'm just tryna be that, oh my God, he different than the God's God
I don't mind it when I'm shepherd, God
Shepherd of my flock, but I'm witness to the dark God
I don't mind it when I'm shepherd, God
Bow a knee to you, but I'm also kind of you, God
Can you bring me back those sheep, God?
Wolf ate one or two, but I'm tryna get to you, God
I'ma make my flock my money, God
Everything I do, I'ma put it back to you, God
You know I came up from the hunnies, God
First I lived to screw, now I'm tryna get to you, God
Make my come up 'bout my flock, God
All that I can prove that I'm really only you, God
The song "The Shepherd" by Tommy explores themes of power, leadership, and loyalty. The lyrics depict the singer as a shepherd, metaphorically representing himself as the leader of his group or "flock." The use of profanity in the hook emphasizes the singer's assertiveness and disregard for others outside of his team. He declares that he will dominate and surpass anyone who tries to compete with him.
In the first verse, the singer describes himself as the shepherd who guides his flock, comparable to someone with financial success indicated by the reference to "fucking with the commas." The image of chilling on a hillside with "crouched apple bottoms" suggests a sense of leisure and comfort. However, the mention of fish, bread, and looking to the heavens for money implies a reliance on divine intervention for financial prosperity. The singer also portrays himself as walking on water with women and finding pleasure in their company. The verse ends with an allusion to the decline of an era, symbolized by walking back in fishnets and the gods calling it "business," possibly suggesting the corrupting influence of power and money.
In the second verse, the singer challenges the idea of a higher power, referring to God. He questions if it is all just a game to God and if there is a lesson to be learned. The singer asserts his own individuality and difference from traditional notions of God. While acknowledging the darkness and temptation he encounters as the shepherd, he also acknowledges his kindness and loyalty. There is a sense of repentance as he asks God to bring back the lost sheep and promises to dedicate his success to God. The verse concludes with the singer expressing his desire to prove his devotion and faith to God through his own flock and endeavors.
Overall, "The Shepherd" showcases themes of assertiveness, power dynamics, and the complexities of faith and leadership.

I'm the shepherd of my flock, fuck the rest
I am in control of my group and don't care about anyone else
She my whole team, watch me fuck the rest
She is the most important to me, and I disregard everyone else
All dem' birdies that flock, flocking with the kamikaze
All the people who follow me blindly, risking everything
See me chilling hill side on our crouched apple bottoms
Observe me relaxing on the hillside in my low-waisted pants
I'm that shepherd that flock like I'm fucking with the commas
I am the leader who gathers people and handles money like a pro
Fish and bread, I be looking to the heavens for my money
I rely on divine intervention and blessings for my wealth
Fish and bread, I be walking on the water with dem' hunnies
I am confident and successful, even in the company of attractive women
Baby girl, giving head in the water with my money
A woman being intimate with me while I enjoy my prosperity
GPS, you gon' find me in the middle of an island
With navigation, one can locate me on a secluded island
Tribal heads all around me but I'm fucking with that money
Despite the influence of powerful individuals, I prioritize wealth
Walking back on the water in the come down of an era
Navigating through difficult times as if walking on water during the decline of a period
Walking back in my fish nets and the Gods call it business
Returning to my network of connections and the divine approves of my approach
It's a game to you, God
To you, God, it appears as if life is just a game
All this time tryna teach a lesson to me, God, huh?
Throughout my life, you have been attempting to impart wisdom upon me, right?
I ain't insane to you, God
From your perspective, God, I am not crazy
I'm just tryna be that, oh my God, he different than the God's God
I'm striving to become someone unique and distinctive, even to the highest power
I don't mind it when I'm shepherd, God
Being the leader doesn't bother me, God
Shepherd of my flock, but I'm witness to the dark God
Although I guide my followers, I am also exposed to the darkness, God
Bow a knee to you, but I'm also kind of you, God
I show respect to you, God, but I also possess a part of your nature
Can you bring me back those sheep, God?
God, can you guide my lost followers back to me?
Wolf ate one or two, but I'm tryna get to you, God
Although I lost a few along the way, I am still striving to reach you, God

I will turn my group into a source of wealth, God
Everything I do, I'ma put it back to you, God
Every action I take, I dedicate it back to you, God
You know I came up from the hunnies, God
God, you are aware that I achieved success from humble beginnings
First I lived to screw, now I'm tryna get to you, God
Initially, my priorities were pleasure, but now I am striving to reach you, God
Make my come up 'bout my flock, God
My rise to success is connected to the prosperity of my group, God
All that I can prove that I'm really only you, God
All the evidence suggests that deep down, I am truly a reflection of you, God
