Can You Dig It 03:06
lyrics
buy track
Ditch the humdrum and get a new feel Don’t steal the truths make it for real Don’t taste it, eat it till it all tastes the same Tame and proclaim, don’t blame, it’s your game Wake to the call of reality now Time is a gift no need to know how Trust what you do till you go all the way Don’t back away, dreams are your aim Let’s drain them till our souls are full Let’s play it by our rules Let’s drain them till our souls are full Let’s play it by our rules Life’s the stage and we have our play Abide yesterday make tomorrow today You won’t win battles without a loss You’ve got to have courage to go through it all Can you dig it or you like to pretend? Ditch it away as you know there’s no end Opium fiend destruction or bliss Who cares what there is, as what’s there it is It is what it is, yes Let’s drain them till our souls are full Let’s play it by our rules Let’s drain them till our souls are full Let’s play it by our rules I celebrate myself to the beat of my heart Come with me don’t break it down I celebrate myself to the beat of my heart Dance with me don’t break it down I’ll show you how, to the beat of my heart Come with me don’t break it down I celebrate myself to the beat of my heart Dance with me don’t break it down I’ll show you Let’s drain them till our souls are full Let’s play it by our rules Let’s drain them till our souls are full Let’s play it by our rules

Where Are The Humans 03:07
lyrics

I know a place where food looks tasty Where gods did a fine job The ordinary is celebrated And the bodies are spot on And I can see the perfect nature the ideal self-confined Regardless of the postures the contorted gals are liked But where is the vibe? Where is the flow? Where are the humans That I used to know? I dream of tropical islands And rosy afternoons Like getting lost in Alaska Rather than being stuck in this tube But where is the vibe? Where is the flow? Where are the humans That I used to know? And nobody knows me nobody knows me I don’t know anyone I don’t know And nobody knows me Nobody knows me I don’t know anyone I don’t know Nobody knows me Nobody knows me I don’t know anyone See the wall See them all But where is the vibe? Where is the flow? Where are the humans That I used to know?

What Do I Mean 03:28
lyrics

I could show you awesome if you’d let me We could be the sources of our energy If I tell you that I love you give me More than just a stupid question: What do I mean? Ain’t no shame in fallin’ Down on the floor Ain’t no shame in fallin’ Donw on the floor I’m asking, thinking, trying to get to know you I’m not trying to push you away Take a closer look and see I’m scared too The night is young and so are we, who knows if we’re meant to be Ain’t no shame in fallin’ Down on the floor Ain’t no shame in fallin’ Donw on the floor Right and wrong are pure conceptions baby And wrong feels right sometimes too Come with me forget yourself and maybe We will be like one or two, let’s find what we’re both into Ain’t no shame in fallin’ Down on the floor Ain’t no shame in fallin’ Down on the floor

Pad Thai 03:30
lyrics
buy track
We could go to your hometown Wouldn’t that be sweet? We could chill on the rooftop Talk about the times we were still meant to be Wouldn’t that be sweet? If we could meet, if we could But who am I To cut your wings When you can fly So who am I To cut your wings When you can fly You and I could eat some Pad Thai Watch the sun go down Put on our favourite tunes And dance instead of walking Wouldn’t that be sweet? If we could meet, if we could But who am I To cut your wings When you can fly You are so free You are so free So just fly, my friend, away from me Because you are so free You are so free So just fly, my friend, fly away from me And 1, 2 But who am I To cut your wings When you can fly So who am I To cut your wings When you can fly

Speechless 02:58

Last time I saw him he was dancing in the sun Catching rays exploiting, exchanging And no place to be found Straight out of cartoon Full of joy, yeah Can’t get enough, can’t get enough Of how we feel Can’t get enough, can’t get enough ‘cause with him I’m Speechless, speechless, speechless It’s so hard to explain Why I’m speechless, speechless, speechless Left with nothing to say Left with nothing to say Funny how you may think that you’re in control Until you meet a male version of you Killing with kindness, yeah You understand each other instantly Can’t get enough, can’t get enough Of how we feel Can’t get enough, can’t get enough ‘cause it is real, I’m Speechless, speechless, speechless It’s so hard to explain Why I’m speechless, speechless, speechless Left with nothing to say Left with nothing to say La la la I found my soulmate and it’s tough to forget I found my soulmate please don’t make me regret I found my soulmate but we couldn’t be friends I found my soulmate now it’s all in my head

Penguin Dance Penguin Dance Penguin, come on, whoa Penguin Dance Penguin Dance Everybody’s talking ‘bout it When you just can’t get higher As there is no alibi When time has won the battle Cause nothing lasts forever Or you think you’re a rock star But you haven’t had a gig, right? Or you just found your true love and you can’t be together, do the Penguin Dance Penguin Dance Penguin, come on, whoa Penguin Dance Penguin Dance Everybody’s talking ‘bout it You don’t think it’ll hit you But soon you’ll find it’s in you You don’t think it’ll hit you But soon you’ll find it’s in you You don’t think it’ll hit you But soon you’ll find it’s in you You don’t think it’ll hit you But soon you’ll find You don’t think it’ll hit you But soon you’ll find it’s in you You don’t think it’ll hit you But soon you’ll do the Penguin Dance Penguin Dance Penguin, come on, whoa Penguin Dance Penguin Dance Everybody’s talking ‘bout it

about

Based out of Berlin, Manono produces music driven by funky grooves, rock energy and pop melodies.

The eponymous EP you’re looking at is the band’s first try to take you away with their music. This is also hidden as a message behind the name of the band, as Manono is actually a small island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Overall vibe of the presented music is groovy and vivid with some extremely catchy vocal lines. MANONO is a conceptual set of tracks. It starts with the idea of not getting stuck in the daily routine: “Yes!” Can You Dig It is a celebration of YOU in the present time. The choir effect in the refrain represents the power of awareness. Where Are the Humans deals with Instagram and being disconnected to the real world. Especially in that funky-Jamiroquai-inspired part of the song, one can really get into the feeling of being lost due to the online communication mess. What Do I Mean, Pad Thai and Speechless are on the love team. They show aspects of different types of relationships, and in doing so the vocal gets more affectionate, the instruments softer and slower. Relationships are hard, whether they are at the beginning, at the very end or impossible to define. Don’t miss out on the sexy melodic What Do I Mean ending, reggae break in Pad Thai or the clapping hands and combination of three voices in Speechless’ “La, la, la, la” part. The bonus track Penguin Dance is the funkiest of them all. Lovers of Red Hot Chilli Peppers will savour its ‘slap the bass’ break. This upbeat dance track concludes the MANONO EP with a positive thought – sooner or later you will be able to look back at your past with humour, even if you don’t understand it right now. The Penguin Dance title isn’t metaphoric; it goes together with an actual dance. Join it and enjoy!
