The thrill lyrics nero full#
But I don’t think any of us could ever live anywhere full time other than London. When we started writing this album we were living in the Hollywood Hills, in the house that Orson Welles wrote Citizen Kane. for a few months here and there over the last few years.
Joe lives in East London and myself and Alana live in West London.
Often other people will say “I can tell that’s a Nero song” when we’ll be listening to the same song and wondering whether it sounds like us.
It’s hard for us to pin-point what makes that our sound because we just write what feels natural to us. Our style can change from song to song, although there’s always a ‘Nero sound’ that runs through the music. Electronic outfit Nero dropped somewhat of a quake this spring, headlining our fault-saddling fest Coachella, and here they talk about all sorts of shit. And when it comes to earthquakes, keep them to 50 minutes at major festivals, or three hours if it’s pals and private. So, while you might admire the land of palms, it’s best to stick to what you know: England. They’ll prattle on about the comparably low cost of rent, the crispiness of our tortas, the way the derrieres of our denizens seem to bend corners like a late ’90s BMW, and how they’ve always fancied a turn on the lot, taking a cue, channeling their “instrument.” All of a sudden, though, their babbling face is split in half by a two-ton concrete beam, cousins of which spill down like an overflowing bowl of industrial spaghetti, because, kids, an earthquake is upon us, ripping the city limb to limb, and reminding the curious, the gushing fans of our artificial city, that the bone dry earth we roll our Chinese-built, Japanese autos over during our daily commute, contains a fault that would have even Johnny Cochran’s BVD’s in a #TBT. Peter Sobat from Blurred Culture said "In these strange times Wiz Khalifa's 'The Thrill' takes us back to less stressful points in our lives and reminds us to lighten up and have some fun.Los Angeles seems to be all the bee’s knees for any numbnuts who spent the better part of the last six months in some hell-draped “four-season” climate they’ll tell you as they arrive how “brutal” their winter was, and how they “just don’t know” if they could possibly sustain another Dostoevsky-fine internment under the clouds, and the cold, with the mud, and the ice, and how they’d “jump at the chance” to live in L.A. XXL Magazine called it "One of Wiz Khalifa's 20 Best Songs." Hot New Hip Hop said "Khalifa's 'The Thrill' takes a cut from indie electro act Empire of the Sun and turns it into an effective party rap jam". 'Walking on a Dream' is a song that morphs and transcends so many emotions and musical plains that it's great to hear it alive in another world, Wiz's world." Reception I remember being at a low key show at a college and one of the kids told me about the song and he said 'man you'll be that dude if you sample the song' So I immediately went home, started thinking of some bars, went to the studio and recorded it and it was one of those songs that we took on the road and made our own videos for, and performed it, and the world loved it and I'm happy that it's available on all streaming platforms and that people can enjoy it the way that they need to now." Įmpire of the Sun said "As this track was breaking for us around the globe we kept hearing undercurrents of Wiz's version. Wiz Khalifa said of the release "'The Thrill' is a really special song to me because I seen that one grow from the ground up. The song was officially released on November 12, 2020.
