Miami Horror - Leila

'Leila' is the first song to be released from Miami Horror's new conceptual record "The Shapes" - a unique 5 track release that see's Miami Horror step out of their comfort zone. The Shapes combines upbeat percussive grooves, with experimental vocal styles that echo Talking Heads and other post-new wave groups of the 80s.

The Shapes - out March 17th, 2017

I don't usually comment on stuff due to fear of it being pointless or getting lost in the shuffle.. But this song is so damn good. From a production stand point especially. It pumps, there's clarity, and is spatially.. perfect. It's criminal that it has under a million views, but i'm also happy that it can be our little secret.

I heard this song in a dressing room at the mall and shit a brick house. I️ pulled out my phone “WHAT SONG IS THIS SIRI”, no response - so I️ just started typing the lyrics as fast as I️ could into my phone but could barely hear what was being said. By some stroke of luck and sheer perseverance I️ have finally found this song again and I️ am so happy.

LYRIC
I just can't believe it
You left me here alone
When you coming back now?
Looking in the mirror
For all I used to know
I just can't believe it

Leila, why did you leave again?
Stay home
Leila, can you believe again?
Stay home
Stay home

It's never like the first time
Where did it go wrong?
It's always in your head now
I always had to wonder
Why you're letting go
It's never like the first time

Leila, why did you leave again?
Stay home
Leila, can you believe again?
Stay home

(Stay home, stay home, stay home)
(Stay home, stay home, stay home)

Been lonely since you left me
When you coming home?
Please come back to bed now
I always had to wonder
Why you're letting go
You drive me into madness

Leila, why did you leave again?
Leila, can you believe again?

Leila, why did you leave again?
Stay home
Leila, can you believe again?
Stay home

When I first came out the closet in 2010, "Sometimes" inspired me.
When I got off the streets and started thriving in 2015, "cellophane" kept me going.
Was rocking out to this jam and shapes in 2017 while my poor ass was struggling to get on the list for srs.
And in 2019 I am almost a year post op and can't wait for their next inspiring album.

In a perfect world, this would be played on top 40 radio.

YESSS I absolutely LOVE the sampling of Kid Creole and the Coconuts... I recognized it right off the bat! This song is fantastic, I'm so excited to see new stuff from Miami Horror. Last record was awesome, can't wait for this one!!

im currently going through it with a girl named Leila and the fact that this popped up on my recommended list has me shOok these lyrics so accurately line-up with my situation.

This is definitely inspired by Kid Creole. Either way, it’s fucking great! We need more music like this.
