Producer(s): Hayden Merjos, Phil N. ==== Background "How To Get On By" is the second single from American Folk-Rock-Soul singer, Hayden. The song will be released on November 21st, 2013 in the United States and November 24th, 2013 worldwide. It is the second single to follow after his collaborative single with Pop/Rock singer Jennifer Armstrong, "Piece Of Mind". Both will be included on Hayden's new album which is set to be released sometime next year. The song was written by Hayden Merjos and Phil N, and produced by the two as well. The single combines Hayden's signature style, his more rock and alternative influence with his other ventured favorite genre, Soul. The lyrics suggest that Hayden is singing about 'a parting of ways from someone and moving on from it.' Aside from his controversial words on social media, Hayden also has a talent for sparking up good tunes to listen to. "How To Get On By" serves as a sort of outlet and encouragement for males, something not usually heard or seen. Aside from the Soul and Breakbeat influence, the song is purely Rock and aggressive in it's tone because of it. Hayden, however, manages to make a catchy and addictive set of lyrics and beat to accompany it in order to create a very powerful song with a wonderful message, for those who understand. Song Description & Songwriter's Comments "How To Get On By" is a Pop/Rock and Soul track which draws the influence from the likes of Motown artists or more modern today, John Newman, an English soul singer from England, definitely can pull the similarities in the force and sound. Hayden starts off the song with his crisp and clean vocals that would soon turn into one of Hayden's greatest vocal performances to date. Merjos uses this to his advantage, creating an unbelievable atmosphere in terms of balancing the music and vocals together for an epic track. In contrast to his last single, Piece Of Mind, this is an uptempo song. The start of the song is introduced with a thunderous drum heard in the background as starts to sing. His voice is tender yet filled with an uprising of anxiousness in the song. Merjos's unique voice makes for a very interesting combination with soul music. He quickly shifts from the gentle voice to a more adamant one. The lines in the lyrics seem to bounce off of one another, his inimitable tones over defiant piano thuds. The first lines of the song are simply about a relationship ending and the lack of sympathy for men when this happens. 'Where is the sympathy for man, when he's down?/I guess we're just too tough and only get aroused' The roar of the drums are heard again as he goes into the break down in between the verse and chorus, his voice sounding a bit more sinister and unforgiving as he's really trying to convey his hatred of this person. With this in tow, Hayden's guitar can be heard as it gives the riff for which the rest of the instruments soon follow and join after. It's a a hip-swinging chorus of throwback soul. Hayden's vocals are just as aggressive as the full band playing with the horns accenting the soulfulness. His melodic singing of the chorus, a repetitive chant, 'I don't have to try, I've learned after time/How to get on by' As he seems to gather himself from the outburst, Hayden sings the next verse with even more fire under him now. It's like he has a purpose for the song, a purpose that he discovered while singing the first half of the song. He expresses his true feelings, wanting the other person to get hurt but says he has no control over that. He also almost mockingly tells them they can't wear his shoes if they can't walk a mile. The break in between the lyrics and chorus, really sheds light on the situation as he sings, 'You threw the gasoline and caused the flames/I'm just waiting for you/When all my hatred pours it rains/And I'm not praying for you' clearly wanting to rid himself of this person. The only time the beat really takes a dramatic change is when the Bridge arrives. Hayden belts out his lyrics, a sense of anger being heard in his voice with the layered vocals in the background also singing with him. Once again, the thudding of the piano keys are heard once he is singing the chorus again, stopping for a brief instrumental in the song where Hayden's instrumental skills are able to speak. For a few minutes, Hayden takes the listener into his personal heaven with his music and then bombards the listener again with his vocals, to finish out the song with another round of his chorus. As he comes back in, the piano is accompanied by hand claps to draw listeners back in to the beat. "How To Get On By is definitely high energy, in your face music that takes you back and gives you a change from the 'trend's' in music today with the House and Dance beats, it's not made for that. I hope no one remixes this song and leaves it the way it is actually because it's perfect. There's almost all of my influences in one song right there. The reason I wanted this to be the next single is because as soon as I recorded it, I knew that this would be something different that what I've done before. All my songs have a purpose but this one is personally what I'm all about. I know how to move on from a person pretty quickly and I always have been able to do that, when wronged. Same with situations in life. Whenever I get in an argument or something, I'm pretty much good after the next few seconds when it's done. It's my own how-to song on how to move on and get on to bigger and better things. Musically, there's a lot going on but it's not annoying or overshadowing the lyrics. It's an unique sound and I know my fans will love it. The horns, the breackbeat in the background, it's just something you feel like you've needed to hear but no one would listen and went with what they thought would sell. I just keep imagining when I play this live, how insane the crowd will be." ==== [Verse 1] You left me in the dust of all your empty thoughts You'll be another lover that I'll come across Where is the sympathy for man, when he's down? I guess we're just too tough and only get aroused You threw the gasoline and caused the flames I'm just waiting for you When all my hatred pours it rains And I'm not praying for you [Chorus] I don't have to try, I've learned after time How to get on by I don't have to try, I've learned after time How to get on by I don't have to try, I've learned after time How to get on by I don't have to try, I've learned after time How to get on by How to get on by [Verse 2] There's something about you that burns through my soul I want you to get hurt but I've got no control I guess inseparable is only for a while You can walk in my shoes if you can't take a mile You threw the gasoline and caused the flames I'm just waiting for you When all my hatred pours it rains And I'm not praying for you [Chorus] I don't have to try, I've learned after time How to get on by I don't have to try, I've learned after time How to get on by How to get on by [Bridge] I've warned you once before You don't listen, you never listened at all I've warned you once before You don't listen, you never listened at all Yeah Woo! [Chorus] I don't have to try, I've learned after time How to get on by I don't have to try, I've learned after time How to get on by I don't have to try, I've learned after time How to get on by (O-o-ohh) I don't have to try, I've learned after time How to get on by How to get on by Similar To:
