Our pick from December 2017 for the #SongoftheWeek is the dark but hauntingly beautiful “Scary People” by Georgina “Georgi” Kingsley, more popularly known as Georgi Kay, the Los Angeles based British-Australian indie popstress.
It’s our favorite track from her debut full length 2018 album “Where I Go to Disappear / WIGTD” (Monoki Records) even though we love all the other songs too especially “Toxins”, “Guilty Pleasures”, “Heavenly Gates”, “American Psycho” and “Lone Wolf” and but track no 10 – “Scary People” has remained a rock-solid favorite and still finds a place in many of our Youtube and Spotify playlists.
We were first introduced to Georgi Kay in 2013, thanks to “In My Mind” with Swedish House Mafia’s Axwell, a phenomenal chartbuster that not only fetched her a Grammy nomination but also an Aria and Apra award. She’s been on our radar since then and needless to say, she has continued to impress.
“Scary People” is not only a gritty, intoxicating dark pop track that calls for repeat listening but its also a stark commentary of our current hostile political climate. Add to this an equally impressive “scary” music video and you have the perfect antidote for your eyes and ears.
Georgi Kay – Scary People Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Put your flowers on the table
Hear the wolves at the door
Grab a piece if you’re able
Silver bullets on the floor
[Pre-Chorus]
We fight that fire with fire, because it’s all that we got
Our love is burning so bright it can light ’em up
We stick together, we do this forever
Nothing can stop us now, now, now
[Chorus]
We live for the scary time, scary place, scary people
Once you cross that line, no going back
We live for the scary time, scary place, scary people
We live for the scary time, scary place, scary people
Once you cross that line, no going back
We live for the scary time, scary place, scary people
[Verse 2]
Don’t be afraid of the monsters
Or the vultures in the sky
See the static on the TV
Feel the violence of the night
[Pre-Chorus]
We fight that fire with fire, because it’s all that we got
Our love is burning so bright it can light ’em up
We stick together, we do this forever
Nothing can stop us now, now, now
[Chorus]
We live for the scary time, scary place, scary people
Once you cross that line, no going back
We live for the scary time, scary place, scary people
We live for the scary time, scary place, scary people
Once you cross that line, no going back
We live for the scary time, scary place, scary people
[Outro]
We live for the scary time, scary place, scary people
We live for the scary time, ooh
