Wallsong, a captivating slice of soulful alt-pop by Melbourne producer Spectoral, is now available everywhere. The track incorporates infectious percussion, powerful string samples originally by composer Jessamie Kaitler, all layered over a mesmerising undercurrent of electronic synths. With meaningful yet catchy lyrical hooks, Spectoral wrote the track for friends still waiting for acceptance and inclusion in a country divided.
How can they tell you that it's not all right
Don't beg where you stand, don't ever compromise
Cos I love you,
I don't give a damn what they say
Enter my bedroom in the middle of the night
We're only as young as how we feel inside
Cos I love you,
I don't give a damn what they say
PRECHORUS
Cos I, I bring your guard down
I take your fears away
I bring your walls down
Cos I, I bring your guard down
I take your fears away
I burn your walls down
HOOK
Cos when you're with me babe,
Don't you feel so alive?
Feel so alive
When you're with me babe,
Don't you feel so alive?
VERSE 2
Taking you back to when the time felt right
The thrill of it all is what you fantasise
Cos I love you,
I don't give a damn what they say
Hand in hand we'll leave the world outside
We're better than that and soon they'll realise,
That I love you,
I don't give a damn what they say
PRECHORUS
Cos I, I bring your guard down
I take your fears away
I bring your walls down
Cos I, I bring your guard down
I take your fears away
I burn your walls down, walls down
HOOK
Cos when you're with me babe,
Don't you feel so alive?
Feel so alive
When you're with me babe,
Don't you feel so alive?
Feel so alive
Cos when you're with me babe,
Don't you feel so alive?
Feel so alive
When you're with me babe,
I burn your walls down

Spectoral nimbly weaves their subversive electronic sound design with ultramodern hip-hop and pioneering alternative R&B,
pushing the boundary of pop to the cutting-edge.
Dave Ruby Howe, Music Director of Triple J Home & Hosed, describes Spectoral as an artist who "can be relied on to deliver highly detailed productions with unshakable earworm qualities at their core"....more
