about

Brothertiger is an artist I've been excited about for several years. His lyrics are always relatable and the atmosphere he creates in his music puts in me in a place I've never visited, never seen, nor never heard of... but know my soul belongs in. So when he made the stems to 'Paradise Lost' available for remixing, I had to jump on it.

Normally categorized as a chillwave artist, I wanted to take a more spacious, ethereal and cinematic approach to Brothertiger. I opened up the track to really let his lyrics take centerstage while infusing what I like to think is 'my thing' with piano, orchestral arrangements and big crescendos to allow for raw emotion over anything else.

I hope you like it.

And please, check out his original if you do.

-Hisham (Rizik)

lyrics

How could I afford to lose my grip?
Clung to this fickle world that I live in
Fantasize about a place I've never been
When I open up my eyes I'm back again

You and I move through life on a different route
Comes down to the paths that we pursue
Realize that it takes time to see things through
What's the point of living high without a view?

I long for the gold sunrise
Paradise lost
On a bright dawn
I wanna stay up all night
Paradise lost
How I long for life

I climbed to the top of the tallest tree
To see if the clouds would open up to me
Looking out I see your boat pass through the bay
Coming closer now, I lie in wait

You and I sing through life in a different tune
But the melody's the same the whole way through
In your eyes I see the sky: a Pacific blue
What's the point of living high without a view?
