about

A robust and uplifting anthem about hard-won independence (“My vision of truth is not / subject to your wishes”), the track was written by Andrew Paul and Tim Emmerick and recorded in Harlem and at Virtue and Vice Studios in Williamsburg. Showcasing Andrew Paul’s fervent, earthy vocals, “Get Up” is gritty and expansive, fueled by a steady, foot-stomping beat. The simple, beat-driven opening unfolds into an elaborate, booming tapestry of sound featuring lush organ, twisting guitar melodies, driving bass, crashing drums, and subtly distorted choral moments.

lyrics

Fell down asleep completely
My dreams fell deep beneath me
Time to get up

You hit me in the heart but
You can’t roll back this run
And now I’ve gotta get up

My vision of the truth is
Not subject to your wishes
So I’ll get up

I’ve tried hard to protect this
Reality’s objective
So I’m gonna get up

Here’s to my new beginning
The losing and the winning
Yeah, let’s get up

about

Andrew Paul New York, New York

Andrew Paul reveals a unique vulnerability that feels both idiosyncratic and profound. The casual but compelling series of pared-down tracks is driven by melodies that highlight his ability to build emotionally stirring, distinct music with little beyond his voice and his guitar. Classic yet raw, the style falls somewhere between heartland soul, indie rock, and good, old-fashioned rock-and-roll. ... more
