Gold Ribbons by Airplane Boys

Gold Ribbons by Airplane Boys

Music duo The Airplane Boys, comprised of Mannie Serranilla (Beck Motley – he’s got a Filipino background) and Jason Drakes (Bon Voyage), is breaking out of Toronto, Canada and onto the music scene. Powered by the same team behind Snoop Dogg and Far East Movement, The Airplane Boys recently dropped their debut mixtape, “Where’ve You Been”. Party it up with The Airplane Boys in their music video “Gold Ribbons”. Their digital sound constantly evolves; built on captivating synths, experimental drum patterns and intricate lyrics. The intent for change is to stray away from the old to brand artistic music and pave a new path to stardom.

The Airplane Boys have the unique skill to portray highly imaginative stories and concepts that compliment their distinctive sound and clever wordplay. The band has been described by many as an niche sound – a trail-blazing, cutting edge movement for the urban culture. They have already appealed to an underground following that soak up the duo’s eclectic approach – a fusing of futuristic electronic sounds with the classic styles of rock, pop, hiphop and jazz.

Lyrics to Pieces by Sam Ock x Kero One

(Sam Ock)
stop, take a look around the physical
world, do you see all the invisible
girls and boys in situations, critical
worlds apart from us, so minuscule
the problem appears from behind a screen
we’re thousand of miles away from torn dreams
so as the good Word goes:
“what good is it to gain the world but lose your soul?”
so what is cash but a way to show you care?
if your money’s where your heart is, with whom will you share?
will you keep your heart covered while the under-served bear
the pain undeserved, will you do nothing more than just stare,
or lend out your own hand?
the beauty of creation is when together we stand
so don’t just sit there, my friend it’s on you!
a little goes a long ways when your love is true

*here’s little a piece of my heart
spreadin’ light to the darkest parts
and i hope that a smile will shine
illuminate the world with a love so bright
here’s little a piece of my heart
spreadin’ light to the darkest parts
and i hope that a smile will shine
illuminate the world with a love so bright

(Kero One)
i’ve seen people get shot right below my window sill
over the love of drugs, colors and wrinkled bills
thugs hug a stainless steal with intent to kill
out to destroy for real what was meant to build
sportin’ scars on their sleeves and walk their hearts on a leash
barkin’ at peace talkin’ smart with police, puhlease…
you think it’s gonna stop soon brother?
as long as the sun shines, we’ll always have thunder
but love conquers all, so we’ll always have to wonder
what life could be like if we lived LOVE for others
’cause fo’sho, we know what it’s like without it
just look at the body and chalk lines that surround it

*
so we gotta get up and show that our love is true
get up and do what we’ve got to do
’cause time aint slowing down for no one
we’re the children of hope, yea the daughters and the sons
so get up and show that your love is true
get up and do what you’ve got to do
and keep on fighting ’til the war is won
for the children of hope, yea the daughters and the sons
