about

The first single coming Feb. 10th, 2023 of Mike Moore’s a.k.a. MIKE BY NAME’s fourteen song sci-fi rock opera is “I’ve Got To Be The One”, a dancy profession of eternal commitment to his one true love. New ground for MIKE BY NAME, the song features no heavy riffs or wailing lead guitar and is sonically inspired by artists like The Glass Animals and Daft Punk. “I’ve Got To Be The One” remains a tight indie pop package to dance with your valentine to. Written, performed, produced, and recorded by MIKE BY NAME, the song is simply about being proud to surrender to love. As the story books like to say, the surrendering makes one’s life light to the touch and deep in passion. And in a society hell bent on making you miserable, it should be a celebration every time a member sidesteps existential dread for true partnership. It’s time to boogie on in the dream. Confess to your lover: “I’ve Got To Be The One.”

lyrics

I’ve come to feel like a ripple of water
I’ve come to swim upon your safe sound shore
I’ve come to love you like a moon move water
I wanna wash up and then I want some more

I’ve got to be the one
To live inside your heart
I burn to belong to you
We dance like clouds without a lie
I’ve got to be the one
Let’s go

I’ve come to situate and swoon you darlin
I’ve come to love you like a reckless child
I’ve dreamt up days where we don’t see no one
We don’t see no one
We just pull the blinds

I’ve got to be, to be the one
I’ve got to be, to be the one
I’ve got to be, to be the one
I’ve got to be, to be the one

When it’s all said and done
We just might see the light
Of the setting sun

I’ve got to be the one
To live inside your heart
I burn to belong to you
We dance like clouds without a lie
I’ve got to be the one
Let’s go
