about

'Motel' is the 1st single from the upcoming The Lightning Kids Remix album 'FM' album and is a collaboration with Sunglasses Kid, who has given the single a 80's late night 'Madonna x Live To Tell' end of movie credits vibe.

The original version of 'Motel' was taken from the band's debut album ' All Of Those Nights' which was released in November 2022 and has since had strong success - gathering over 1m views on Tik Tok, #1 placement on German and UK Alternative Album charts on I-Tunes and over 350,000 album streams on Spotify.

With the new single, The Lightning Kids prepare for the release of their debut remix album, a 7-track love-letter to lost-teenage-dreams and summer nights called 'FM' which is due to be released in July 2023.

'Motel (Sunglasses Kid Remix)' is produced by The Lightning Kids & Sunglasses Kid. Mastered by Brian Skeel.

lyrics

[LYRICS]

I don’t know what I came here for
Some kind of crisis, I’m not sure
I could be anyone here
I could do anything

Like I don’t dance but I heard a beat
Had to move my body, move my feet
Oh I lost myself
I was someone else

And ooooh I was free

All I could afford was this old motel
As close to the city as I could get
A tiny room with a single bed
All I could afford was this old motel
they gave me room without a view
The perfect place
To forget you

Oh I lock my door, I don’t know this town
Get back before the night comes down
They could do anything here
I don’t trust anyone

Except one night I went out instead
And fell into a stranger’s bed
It’s not like me
It was therapy

And ooooh I was free

All I could afford was this old motel
As close to the city as I could get
A tiny room with a single bed
All I could afford was this old motel
they gave me room without a view
The perfect place
To forget you.
