Lyrics

INTRO – Vocal Tuning & Round-Robin
​(Devon establishes a deep, heavy Afro-Soca beatbox rhythm. Aiden adds rapid, high-frequency rhythmic sibilance/ticks).
​Devon (Bass):
(Boots-and-cats low pulse)
Boom-chah, boom-boom-chah, kick-thump, low-drop...
​Aiden (Tenor - Canadian Accent):
(High rhythmic accents)
Tka-tka-tka-tsh! Yeah, check the mic, check one, check two!
​Becky (Mezzo - Korean Accent):
(Staccato melody intro)
Da-da-la, fast track, pack your bags, we’re back!
​Fiona (Contralto - Jamaican Accent):
(Smoky, warm, rich tones over the beat)
Mmm-hmm... hear dat sound now? KBX inna di field, let’s go!
​ALL (Harmony Stack):
Ooh-ooh-yeah! Grab your boots, grab your crew, we’re running through!
​[CHORUS – Full Group / High Energy Pop-Soca Fusion]
​ALL:
Tents in the mud, bass in the grass!
Forget about the time, make the sweet feeling last!
Dancing with my friends till the morning light,
KBX in the field, turning up the night!
(Devon hits heavy sub-bass sounds)BOOM!
Yeah, we’re living for the gig tonight!
​[VERSE 1 – Aiden (Tenor / Canadian Accent)]
​(Sailing over the top with clear melodic air, Aiden sings high and bright, leading the excitement of arriving).
​Aiden:
Road trip finished, threw the pegs in the ground,
Can’t even pitch the tent ’cause I hear that sound!
Eh, sorry if I’m rushing, but the main stage is calling,
Sun’s going down and the bassline is falling!
Grab a cold drink, put your hands up high,
We’re camping in the field under orange-purple sky!
​Becky & Fiona (Mid & Low Harmonies):
(Fast background chant)Pack it up, turn it up, don't stop now!
​Aiden:
Yeah, my feet are in the dirt, but my mind is in the clouds!
​[VERSE 2 – Becky (Mezzo-Soprano / Korean Accent)]
​(Rhythmic mid-engine pulse. Shifts into a fast, staccato, percussive rap).
​Becky:
(Fast flow)
Left side, right side, running through the crowds,
Glitter on my face, yeah we’re singing out loud!
Wristbands on, see the neon flash,
Stepping to the rhythm, making memories last!
No sleep, no stress, jumping on the beat,
Soca in my body from my head to my feet!
Catch up, move fast, tell me can you keep the pace?
KBX brings the fire all over the place!
​Aiden (Interjecting playfully):
Hey Becky, wait up, you're running too fast!
​Becky:
No way, Aiden, gotta make the good times last!
​[CHORUS – Full Group]
​ALL:
Tents in the mud, bass in the grass!
Forget about the time, make the sweet feeling last!
Dancing with my friends till the morning light,
KBX in the field, turning up the night!
BOOM!
Yeah, we’re living for the gig tonight!
​[VERSE 3 – Fiona (Contralto / Jamaican Accent)]
​(Smoky, soulful, bridging the deep bass and mid-rap with rich Afro-fusion soul).
​Fiona:
(Soulful, warm, relaxed flow)
Ah vibe so sweet, put your arms round your friend,
You know a real good festival never really end.
Smell the campfires burning, hear the riddim in di air,
Waving our hands, not a single worry or care.
So mash up di stage when di speaker start to hum,
Listen to di pulse, hear di heavy wooden drum...
​Devon (In a deep bass tone under Fiona):
Feel that sub, Fiona, bring it down low...
​Fiona:
Drop it for them, Devon, let di whole world know!
​[BRIDGE & BASS-DROP BREAKDOWN – Devon (Bass / African-American Accent)]
​(All instruments/vocals clear out except Devon’s soloistic low-frequency EDM "Bass-Drop" simulation and Aiden’s high hi-hat clicks).
​Devon (Beatboxing / Bass Synthesis):
(Deep throat sub-bass)
Wub-wub-wub-wub-WUB-WUB-WUB...
(Rhythmic build-up)
Drop the frequency... 3... 2... 1...
​(Devon delivers a massive vocal bass-drop mimicry: deep throat-singing hums mixed with heavy percussive chest pops)
BZZZT-THUMP-WUB-WUB!
Yeah, you feel that in your chest?
That’s the KBX bass line, taking care of the rest!
Gigs with the homies, mud on the shoes,
When you’re deep in the field, you got nothing to lose!
​[BACK-AND-FORTH vocal SECTION – The Whole Band]
​Aiden: Eh, pass the flashlight, who lost the keys?
Becky: I’m already dancing near the front row trees!
Fiona: Somebody get the horn, make di whistle blow loud!
Devon:(Deep bass hum)I’m holding down the bottom for this whole wild crowd!
​Aiden: High vibes!
Becky: Fast speed!
Fiona: Sweet soul!
Devon: Low feed!
​ALL: Put it all together and we take control!
​[OUTRO / FINAL CHORUS]
​ALL (Maximum Energy / Multi-layer Harmony):
Tents in the mud, bass in the grass!
Forget about the time, make the sweet feeling last!
Dancing with my friends till the morning light,
KBX in the field, turning up the night!
​Aiden:(High tenor sustain)Turning up the night—!
Becky:(Fast rhythmic accents)Tick-a-tack, don't stop!
Fiona:(Soulful belt)Sing it to di sky!
Devon:(Deep sub-bass drop)BOM-BOM-BOM-BOM... FREESTYLE OUT!
​(Final explosive vocal impact)
ALL:KBX!(Laughter, heavy breathing, sound of tent zippers and distant crowd cheering fades out)
