Mmm num ba de Dum bum ba be Doo buh dum ba beh beh Pressure pushing down on me Pressing down on you, no man ask for Under pressure that burns a building down Splits a family in two Puts people on streets Um ba ba be Um ba ba be De day da Ee day da, that's okay It's the terror of knowing what the world is about Watching some good friends screaming "Let me out!" Pray tomorrow gets me higher Pressure on people, people on streets Day day de mm hm Da da da ba ba Okay Chipping around, kick my brains around the floor These are the days it never rains but it pours Ee do ba be Ee da ba ba ba Um bo bo Be lap People on streets Ee da de da de People on streets Ee da de da de da de da It's the terror of knowing what the world is about Watching some good friends screaming 'Let me out' Pray tomorrow gets me higher, high Pressure on people, people on streets Turned away from it all like a blind man Sat on a fence but it don't work Keep coming up with love but it's so slashed and torn Why, why, why? Love, love, love, love, love Insanity laughs under pressure we're breaking Can't we give ourselves one more chance? Why can't we give love that one more chance? Why can't we give love, give love, give love, give love Give love, give love, give love, give love, give love? 'Cause love's such an old fashioned word And love dares you to care for The people on the edge of the night And love (people on streets) dares you to change our way of Caring about ourselves This is our last dance This is our last dance This is ourselves under pressure Under pressure Pressure

about

Armando Santos “For me it is an absolute pleasure to be part of The Color Blew and our journey to compile, record and release our own version of this legendary “Under Pressure” song from the iconic band Queen.”

Marius Cronje “Queen has always been one of my favourite bands growing up as a kid, and for us to be able to put our spin on an iconic song is an honour. I think the song today is just as, if not more powerful, and relevant than it has ever been, and I think that the message the song brings across is one that everyone can relate to. We need love. Love conquers all.”

Timothy Lotter “Under Pressure as a piece of music was more relevant to us than ever during the pandemic, and it became a vehicle for us to express how we thought the whole world was feeling. We now want to pay tribute to one of our favourite bands and biggest influences.“

Liaan Horton “The whole process of arranging, learning, and recording such a hugely important song, not just for us, but for the global music industry … was probably the most challenging musical endeavour I have ever been involved in. Trying to do these legends justice with our humble tribute has been a journey I won't soon forget and one that fills me with pride.“
