'If You Could See Me Now' sees Quinn Oulton flipping his own sample, revealing a darker side to the original hook that we saw back in a video on TikTok in April, which featured a pitched-up vocal hook and instantly struck a chord with Quinn's audience.
Already known for his unique concoction of electronic, indie and jazz, this song brings contemporary RnB elements such as heavily altered vocals, chopped acoustic guitars and fast-paced drums into the mix.
lyrics
If you could see me now you'd be proud of me
I understand why you wouldn't wanna be
In my life, you were kind, I was cruel when you cared
Swear I've changed, yeah I learned from the best
If you could see me now you'd be proud of me
I understand why you wouldn't wanna be
In my life, you were kind, I was cruel when you cared
Swear I've changed, yeah I learned from the best
I think if you leave me alone that would be best
You've been the sole cause of all my stress for some years
Wonder why I left you why do you think it is?
You need to learn to... you need to give me space yeah
The intense pressure of your presence I can feel it
Ever since I met you you pushed me to my limit
I would like your face out of my face for a minute
You don't respect my just get back in your place yeah
If you could see me now
You don't mean it
I understand why you
I don't need this
In my life, you were kind, I was cruel
You don't mean it
Swear I've changed, yeah I learned from the best
You need to give me space, yeah
If you could see me now
You don't mean it
I understand why you
I don't need this
In my life, you were kind, I was cruel
You don't mean it
Swear I've changed, yeah I learned from the best
Just get back in your place, yeah
You think you're being sweet by singing songs in my ear
You're proud of yourself that's basically all I hear
You swear you've changed I swear you said that last year
Only thing that's changed is now I know you're not sincere
I let you have your say in every single decision
Couldn't see my friends without your strict supervision
And anything I say can be used as ammunition
To keep me in my place lacking my pride and ambition
If you could see me now
You don't mean it
I understand why you
I don't need this
In my life, you were kind, I was cruel
You don't mean it
Swear I've changed, yeah I learned from the best
You need to give me space, yeah
If you could see me now
You don't mean it
I understand why you
I don't need this
In my life, you were kind, I was cruel
You don't mean it
Swear I've changed, yeah I learned from the best
Just get back in your place, yeah
If you could see me now you'd be proud of me
I understand why you wouldn't wanna be
In my life, you were kind, I was cruel when you cared
Swear I've changed, yeah I learned from the best
If you could see me now you'd be proud of me
I understand why you wouldn't wanna be
In my life, you were kind, I was cruel when you cared
Swear I've changed, yeah I learned from the best

He gives a fuck (about playing excellent music and caring for his friends) and doesn't give a fuck (about anything else). That is why he's tight. Can we use dirty words here? grillonbleu
