'Legendary' by Empire State Human

Empire State Human 'Legendary'

Dublin based synthpop band Empire State Human returns with a new single called 'Legendary' April 26 on mish mosh records. It's a collaboration with US synthpop act Ganymede, and is written by Aidan Casserly (vocals) and Patrick Runkle and David Friede (music), the song is a dynamic and positive action statement, with uplifting vocals underpinned by a glorious machine driven musical production. The song will also feature on the upcoming ESH compilation 'Robot Love'. That compilation features songs from the band's first 8 releases spanning the years 2002-2009 to be released May. Empire State Human were the first Irish band to work with an original member of Kraftwerk, in Wolfgang Flur, with their joint single ‘Melancholic Afro’. They also had a #1 in the US iTunes dance charts with their cover of John Carpenter’s ‘Halloween Theme’. Receiving a congratulations call from Carpenters London publishers.
'Robot Love' is a follow up compilation to Empire State Human's 'Primo' which focussed on the years 2012-2021.

To quote Aidan Casserly -
"The song was in the works for a number of years and was set aside until the right moment. ESH added some additional music production to the original Ganymede mix to create a true collaboration and sound. I'm really delighted to present the song and in doing so it may bring both bands catalogues to a newer synth generation."

Lyrics

‘Legendary’

The burning fire,
The countenance of my longing.
Those flames lick higher,
I’ve loved you and hated you too.
I travel high,
And wonder what life has shown me.
On paths we find, our footsteps,
Of memories behind.

[Chorus]
Burning minds got me crucified,
See the stars as they mesmerise.
The Sun will shine, destiny arrives.
It’s calling, calling.
Two steps forward, baby one behind.
You and I future worlds collide.
Burn that bridge on the other side.
It’s calling, calling.
The Sun will arise,
We can be legends.
La, La, La, La, La,
We can be legends.

Just think again,
Make decisions to be revealing.
Don’t spurn that chance,
Don’t deceive me,
Just give me romance.
I lost your hands,
Embraced the remaining vision.
So let’s try once more,
Combinations let’s open this door.

[Chorus]
Burning minds got me crucified,
See the stars as they mesmerise.
The Sun will shine, destiny arrives.
It’s calling, calling.
Two steps forward, baby one behind.
You and I future worlds collide.
Burn that bridge on the other side.
It’s calling, calling.

We can be legends.
We can be legends.
La, La, La, La, La,
We can be legends.
La, La, La, La, La,
We can be legends.

The Sun will arise,
We can be legends.
La, La, La, La, La,
We can be legends.

The Sun will arise,
We can be legends.
La, La, La, La, La,
We can be legends.
