LYRICS:

Gonna be the one to stop you
From making a bad mistake
I’ve known you for far too long
Now

Trying hard to reach you
But you won’t let me in
You always get under my skin

Whatever you say won’t change my mind
Give it a week and we’ll be rivals
Whatever you say won’t change my life
Give it a year and we’ll be idols

Try make do without me
But can you keep up the energy
Are you gonna be the one to stop me?
Or we can agree to disagree

Whatever you say won’t change my mind
Give it a week and we’ll be rivals
Whatever you say won’t change my life
Give it a year and we’ll be idols (x2)

I knew it was too late when you came
I thought I’d shouted you out
It’s times like these I wish that I was

Talking to someone else (x2)
Whatever you say won’t change my mind
Give it a week and we’ll be rivals
Whatever you say won’t change my life
Give it a year and we’ll be idols (x2)

 
Pacific band new single Last life piano-indie rock

Last Life

May 9, 1959 by Pacific Official

Release Date: Friday 29th May 2020

Having won the national vote to play Y Not Festival 2019, with three sell-out shows last year, as well as BBC Radio 1 and METRO backing, Pacific boost their upward trajectory with “Last Life’’

Pacific boldly reveal more of what they’re all about in enigmatic new single ‘Last Life’. The piano-indie rock band have been carving their own arena in the industry with their unique blend of alternative rock and indie nuances, which has seen them spun on BBC Radio 1, featured in METRO, win the national vote to play Y Not Festival 2019 and sell out three shows across Manchester and Northwich last year.

Pacific kicked off 2020 with January single “Idols”, which garnered six consecutive spins on BBC Music Introducing Manchester including a live session, whilst also being picked up by Tom Robinson’s ‘Fresh on the Net’ – plus radio plays on Amazing Radio, XS Manchester & Jack FM and blog reviews from a multitude of sites including: A1234, Indie Is Not A Genre, Wolf in a Suit, Jammerzine, Ear To The Ground Music and more.

Enter “Last Life”, a daring new release recorded by Kaiser Chiefs producer David Watts, which divulges Pacific have bags of creativity to spare after 2020 debut Idols. The song speaks of undisclosed inner-imagination, a desire to live out a doomed fantasy with the one person who you should actively avoid. It’s destined to end up in flames, but living in a time that’s reminding us of how fleeting life can be – can you fight the temptation to risk another round with the one who makes you feel most alive?

Pacific are showing no signs of slowing down, with their rescheduled headline show at Gorilla, Manchester set for Friday 25th September 2020, plus festival dates at Liverpool Sound City and more TBA later in the year.

2020 has already seen the band’s music continue to be championed by Salford City FC and Gary Neville, who have used Pacific’s music for the past two years in their video material, which adds to band’s football acclaim, also frequenting Premier League match playlists at Manchester United’s Old Trafford stadium and performing at Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium.

Recent live slots saw the band invited to play the MMF Showcase at Paper Dress Vintage in Hackney, London in February 2020, join The Blinders, All Tvvins, Red Rum Club and The Modern Strangers as their main support act, play Y Not Festival 2019 after winning the national Band App vote from 1,000s of acts, sell out Night People in Manchester, which was covered by Scott’s Menswear & Manchester’s Finest, as well a string of other festivals, including Dot to Dot 2019. Pacific also played a 30-minute gig live on air for BBC Introducing last year, and saw playlisting from Amazing Radio and Jack FM, plus support from XS Manchester, where they performing a live session on-air.

The band have received impressive 2020 coverage across Northwich Guardian, Warrington Guardian and the Winsford and Middlewich Guardians.

Pacific’s previous singles’s streaming success has seen over 200k streams on Spotify (Life in Short) and have been playlisted across retail stores throughout the UK.

LYRICS:

Talk to me
I’ll listen endlessly
It’s an emergency
Always all of the time

I want you to see
You’re entitled to me
It’s an emergency
Always all of the time

You’re a puzzle making my head go round
There just isn’t any sense into what I’ve found
Everybody’s screaming at me to come around
But a puzzle ain’t solved until you have your crown

You’re a puzzle making my head go round
There just isn’t any sense into what I’ve found
Everybody’s screaming at me to come around
But a puzzle ain’t solved until you have your crown

Give me time to get even
Try to admit what you owe
Like the changing of the seasons
The signs are starting to show

You’re a puzzle making my head go round
There just isn’t any sense into what I’ve found
Everybody’s screaming at me to come around
But a puzzle ain’t solved until you have your crown

You’re a puzzle making my head go round
There just isn’t any sense into what I’ve found
Everybody’s screaming at me to come around
But a puzzle ain’t solved until you have your crown

Talk to me
I’ll listen endlessly
It’s an emergency
Always all of the time

It’s an emergency
Always all of the time

You’re a puzzle making my head go round
There just isn’t any sense into what I’ve found
Everybody’s screaming at me to come around
But a puzzle ain’t solved until you have your crown

You’re my puzzle
You’re my puzzle to solve
You’re my puzzle
You give me reason to evolve

You’re a puzzle making my head go round
There just isn’t any sense into what I’ve found
Everybody’s screaming at me to come around
But a puzzle ain’t solved until you have your crown

Alibi

LYRICS:

Go and take a seat, I’ll see you there
I’ll go and grab a drink, if I dare
Someone told me you like to scare
Turn around, you’re grabbing my hair

I envy you
I wanna be like you

You got to me, oh I know it
You got to me, oh I caught that feeling
I crossed the line, of my design, are we in decline?
You were sent to me, oh I know it
You were sent to me, oh I know I’m not dreaming
I’m on cloud nine, the only sign, won’t lost what’s mine

I can be your alibi
We never left our fort
We could leave the past behind
They’ll never see us both alive
I can be your alibi
This is how I take what’s mine
Our time would be divine
Our time would be divine

Did I really hear what I think I heard?
We should really laugh, it’s quite absurd
It’s absolutely clear what you deserve
I’m hanging onto your every word

I envy you
I wanna be like you

You got to me, oh I know it
You got to me, oh I caught that feeling
I crossed the line, of my design, are we in decline?
You were sent to me, oh I know it
You were sent to me, oh I know I’m not dreaming
I’m on cloud nine, the only sign, won’t lost what’s mine

I can be your alibi
We never left our fort
We could leave the past behind
They’ll never see us both alive
I can be your alibi
This is how I take what’s mine
Our time would be divine
Our time would be divine

I’ve seen it all
I’ve seen it all before
Don’t tell me I’m crazy
I’ve seen it all before

I can be your alibi
We never left our fort
We could leave the past behind
They’ll never see us both alive
I can be your alibi
This is how I take what’s mine
Our time would be divine
Our time would be divine

Spiral

LYRICS:

Wonderful plans when we collide
See the warning signs
Seduce me like my valentine
You and I

Leave me in my peace of mind
I need to obey the warning signs
The warning signs

Days fall
Back into the spiral
Hope crawls
You can push me in or pull me out
I wanna see my future now
Future now, future now

My mind is closed but I can see
Where I wanna be

Leave me in my peace of mind
I need to obey the warning signs
The warning signs

Days fall
Back into the spiral
Hope crawls
You can push me in or pull me out
I wanna see my future now
Future now, future now

I’m falling every day
Into the spiral, pray
You don’t stay
Because I’ve seen your shadow
Wrote the score
You cannot blame me now
You’re answered for

I’m falling every day
Into the spiral, pray
You don’t stay
Because I’ve seen your shadow
Wrote the score
You cannot blame me now
You’re answered for

Days fall
Back into the spiral
Hope crawls
You can push me in or pull me out
I wanna see my future now
Future now, future now
