Above from Above by Girls of the Internet
The group described how Moloko’s The Time Is Now inspired them, stating: “We had the words running through our minds for a few weeks, just thinking about where they took us. It sparked us into writing Above. All the best love songs have a shot of poison. Musically, we were back at Patrick Adams meets Basic Channel.”
It’s a blissful five-minute offering, made up of rounded percussion and a warming underlying groove. Gentle kick-hat combos make up the overarching rhythm, whilst soothing vocals accentuate the track’s reflective nature. Dreamy chords soon meander into rolling key chimes to form an emotive, feel-good cut.

Lyrics
Hold me, stop me feeling numb
Help me understand what i’ve become
Emancipate me, save me from the flood
Evangelise me, hold me up above
Everything around me came undone
Release me from the plight I’m running from
I need the shelter of your love
Before I surmount up above
In your arms is where i belong
Exonerate me for the things i’ve done
Bathe me in the warmth of your blood
Hold my hand and take me up above
