Fall In Love Waiting forever to fall in love, fall in love with you… Endless endeavour to be in love, to be in love so true. Feeling that this could be so right, needing to be taken to new heights, preparing for our dreams that just might…come true… Waiting alone in bed at night, patiently for you to see the light, I’m hoping that I will hold you tight…one day soon. Waiting forever to fall in love, fall in love with you. Wondering will I ever be in love, be in love with you… Separate together, to feel in love, to feel in love so true. Waiting alone in bed at night, patiently for you to see the light, I’m hoping that I will hold you tight…one day soon… Feeling that this could be so right, needing to be taken to new heights, preparing for our dreams that just might…come true. Waiting forever to fall in love, fall in love with you… Endless endeavour to be in love, to be in love so true.

Owl Of Night. The sunshine melts away the coldness of the night before the daylight always feels wholesome and pure When the moon appears it’s only then that he takes flight He sits, he waits, he stares his yellow eyes the owl of night

Pulse. I don’t know where you’ve been but you tell me to have faith in you never played this game before but I know i’ve got to play safe with you I don’t know what to do never been in this situation before where are you taking me? “follow your heart” you say Let’s go out tonight.. Let’s go out tonight.. Let’s go out tonight, just you and me we’ll be free to live our fantasy I can hear the pulse of the dance floor I can hear the beat kick I can feel the pulse of my heart and the blood pumping down to my _ I can see between the strobe images of total pleasure I catch your eye through a hundred people “follow your heart” you say Let’s go out tonight.. Let’s go out tonight.. Come to my room tonight come to my bed tonight Feel my pulse x 6 I wanna feel your pulse Let’s go out tonight.. Let’s go out tonight..
18.
Deranged. You’re trouble, you distract me you’re twisted, yet you attract me A mind subverted full of goodness or badness? Some would say perverted I just call it madness With you on my mind I feel deranged With you by my side I’m deranged Disorganization is new to me but I sort of like this insanity I’m scared by your complexity and i’m unhinged at your perplexity With you on my mind I feel deranged With you by my side I’m deranged With you on my mind I feel deranged With you by my side I’m deranged I feel deranged I feel deranged
19.
Clear. I never thought that it would come to this, no I never guessed that things would turn out this way for me I’d have never believed oh no I always thought i’d be somebody else, oh I always said that i’d arrange everything so carefully just how I wanted it to be, oh yeah But I was never told before that there would be so many questions, oh and that i’d be hanging on to life with just one hand Now I know - the answer lies in me It’s clear to see Whoever said that it should be like this whoever that I wouldn’t be there for me I just had to believe oh yeah I never really thought that I would die, oh I think I guessed that I would live through these times you see it’s how I wanted things to be But I was never shown before that there could be such simple pleasures, oh and that life completely turns around from day to day Now I know - the future starts in me It’s clear to see The secret’s here in me
20.
Yellowness. The bees half understand whilst they work they remember to check their Queen - she’s ok I can’t say the words to you but I don’t want to hide from you anymore First thing in the morning I know i’m a mess some people call it yellowness but i’m always the last one in bed at night you see with me it takes a little time Oh the sea is more powerful than me and deeper, and bluer - it has more life Believe that these words are true oh please believe in my love for you Understand that first thing in the morning I know i’m a mess some people call it yellowness but i’m always the last one in bed at night you see with me it takes a little time I know i’m a mess some people call it yellowness yellowness but i’m always the last one in bed at night you see with me it takes a little time Yellowness yellowness yellowness yellowness
21.
Veneer. Ignored Controlled Rejected Accepted Your silence leaves me lonely, losing time, life, liberty all drifting through my fingers like there never was that feeling Not sure what is holy inside this hard veneer of dignity alone we stand tall strong, proud and healthy United we fall apart a conversation tears us both in half I hope to know you deeply believe me I love you - it’s true How many times do I have to say it to get the message through? How many different songs will I sing before you are my king? How many different ways can I show it I do - I want you I’m living in hope you see I want to tell you everything Maybe one day we’ll be nearer to a deeper understanding or do I hope for too much too soon? Not sure what is real behind this cold veneer of mystery yet on reflection it can come pretty close to perfection But you can’t argue with this feeling of mine It’s passion not just fashion Misdirected, i’ve lost my way... I hope to know you deeply believe me I love you - it’s true. How many times do I have to say it to get the message through? How many different songs will I sing before you are my king? How many different ways can I show it I do - I want you Two different points of view but I’m living in hope for you
22.
Stage. Everybody’s waiting but I can’t find my clothes Everybody’s out there but I’ve nothing that goes You’re now at a stage where you will choose your way of life so make a decision and take your path for now choose carefully Everybody’s waiting I should make up my face Everybody’s out there somewhere in this place Everybody’s waiting will they let me grow Everybody’s out there somewhere I know You’re now on stage where will you tell them your truth or fake your way through? Interrogation time will you tell them how it really is for you? Everybody’s waiting Everone’s out there Everybody’s waiting for the freakshow Everybody’s out there somewhere I know
23.
Courage To Kiss. In Paris, you made me smile I caught your stare and we threw it back and forth for a while I must’ve seemed so young to someone like you but i’m no fool i knew exactly what you wanted to do oh yeah Further into the night after all the obvious glances it’s still not clear as to who exactly should make the advances and dancing’s just an excuse it’s safe to feel the groove all they need is a bass drum but tonight i’ve got the guts to make a move I feel i need you I feel i need you I feel i need you I need i feel you Do it to me, show it to me So long i’ve been waiting for this Take it from me, make it with me coz tonight I have the courage to kiss I feel i need you I feel i need you I feel i need you I need i feel you Do it to me, show it to me So long i’ve been waiting for this Take it from me, make it with me coz tonight I have the courage to kiss The courage to kiss Take it from me, make it with me coz tonight I have the courage to kiss Tonight I have the courage to kiss Tonight I have the courage to kiss...you
24.
The Basement. It’s now the time I go down to the basement with you When we walk away from the questions the answer appears… Come down the basement we won’t speak for two hours and then say the same thing at the same time and we’ll switch off our minds and our bodies will have such a good time when we go underground we see the roots of the trees through the window Come down to the basement tonight When you walk away from the question the answer appears… Meet me in the basement we won’t speak for two hours and then say the same thing at the same time and we’ll switch off our minds and our bodies will have such a good time when we go underground we see the roots of the trees and the branches, dead leaves through the window Come down to the basement tonight Meet me in the basement Let it be tonight Come down to the basement Let it be tonight Let it be tonight
25.
Togetherness. Late at night i’ll think of you and know you’re sleeping Somewhere in the outside world you are breathing too Sometimes when i fall asleep i’m drifting and i wonder if you’re here with me, differently When we know we’re happy with each other then we have togetherness Walking through the grass one day how I love this piece of land Even though you’re away I feel you holding my hand Sometimes when i’m by myself I think of you and make believe you’re here with me, watching stars When we know we’re dancing with each other then we have togetherness Late at night i’ll think of you and know you are breathing too
26.
Neglected. I know I neglect them I realize this I leave them too often to their own devices It’s not spiteful not even a stab at being free It’s just sometimes I only think of you and me. Oh but... I’m becoming intolerant with their dependancy I’m turning impatient with the responsibility I love being with you alone Neglecting the world outside our door Together at home Forgetting everybody else. Neglected Neglected Do you think we affect them by being like this? But our moments of privicy are becoming priceless It’s not selfish It’s not all the time It’s just sometimes You’re the only thing that’s on my mind. Oh and... I’m growing tired of this validity and i’m starting to question their insensitivity. I love being with you alone Neglecting the world outside our door Together at home Forgetting everybody else. Neglected Neglected
27.
Yellow Roses. I’m amazed by what we did we play each other to the core, uh-oh I don’t wanna live without you right here by my side - alone and all that I don’t want all that - don’t you know that? I don’t wanna wake up without you Don’t make me do it on my own You were my hero, once before Yellow roses flicker in the breeze in my life, i’d have never believed i’d be so pleased Stolen moments with the showers of Spring it’s the morning of a new life I don’t wanna live without you right here by my side - alone and all that I don’t want all that - don’t you know that? I don’t wanna wake up without you My hero’s head next to mine You were my inspiration, once upon a time Living it up, living large, into far foreign skies But first the plane must be able to fly to go into the sky - we will fly Hopeful thinking in the playground then I am left here, wondering why I don’t wanna live without you right here by my side - alone and all that I don’t want all that - don’t you know that? I don’t wanna wake up without you Your face in the morning sunlight Alone with my hero’s head next to mine Do you know you’re enough to make me smile? Hearing you, feeling your warmth now I know when you’re lying, I try to resist you Baby i’m lying, I cannot resist you Yellow roses flicker in the breeze in my life, i’d have never believed i’d be so pleased You know when i’m lying, I try to resist you Baby i’m trying, how can I resist you? You know when i’m crying, I try to assist you But baby i’m trying, how can I resist you How can I resist you? How can I resist you?
28.
You Gotta Have Charm, Baby. Magic happens here The air has moistened Oh but the words that you use Turn the charm so quickly to poison Oh oh, it’s what I dread You gotta have charm baby to make me smile You gotta have charm baby to make it worth my while Let’s peel back and see just how it works inside us We’ve become experts at how to be old and be young and stay alive It’s in our heads You gotta have charm baby to make me love you You gotta have charm baby or else i’ll leave Coz cowardly people make me so very angry Because they act so atrociously!

about

Composer and producer Fil OK celebrates 10 years as a recording artist by unveiling a new compilation double-album “OK Music: Vaults (2008 - 2018)”, released via his imprint OK Music.

The collection is split into two halves: the first half being dedicated to Fil OK, consisting of 16 songs from his solo recording career to date. The body of work spans greatest hits, as well as personal favourites, from his past four full-length albums; “Bitch Disco” (2009); “Neon Ghost” (11); “Electropolis” (13) and “Mute Riot” (15).

The second half of the collection is from his collaborative project We’re in the Water, gathering 12 songs from the band’s three albums “Delinquent” (12), “Soap Opera” (14) and “This Is Strange” (16).

“Fil OK was a bright light of the early noughties’ Electroclash scene centred on the London club night Nag Nag Nag, and has been pumping out fabulous electro tracks ever since!”
Neil Tennant (Pet Shop Boys)

"In Fil OK’s experimental and twisted, yet melodic electro-pop landscape you’ll easily hear influences from house, electronica, techno, acid and ambient, as well as from the world of movie scores, classical music and even opera. With art collective We’re in the Water Fil shows an even more theatrical side of his production; lush dramatic chords draw your attention to almost medieval arrangements in some parts. Here Fil’s skill as a classic songwriter, and lust for experimenting with vocals (either his own or the ones of the contributing members) really get to shine. Listening to the Fil OK selection as one entity, you will hear an artistic journey unfolding. The early productions are full of impulsive, high octane sonic peaks, whereas his latter compositions convey more spacious and luxurious soundscapes, yet still contain Fil’s colourful, pure energy."
Pjotr Jezernitski (Red Curls Records)

“Fil OK’s collected works range from lush deliciously-melancholic synth pop to wild bangin' club anthems that will take you to electro heaven. The lyrics are thought-provoking and visceral; the melodies winsome and hooky; get in the water with him and take a sound bath.”
Wash Westmoreland (Still Alice & Colette film director)

“Gorgeous. Fil OK's tunes - dreamy, witty, cheerful, sad - not only transport you to a world of their own, they help you cope better with the world you come back to.”
Alan Hollinghurst (Booker Prize winning novelist)

"Fil OK, what can I say? One of the founders of the most exciting clubs in London this century...file under more-than-OK."
Leila Arab (Warp / XL electronic sound maker)

"Always great to hear anything by Fil OK, and this collection is a total delight."
Mark Moore (S'Express)
