Descrizione Description

Some places feel familiar the moment you step into them.
Some people feel like a memory before they even speak.

“I’ve Been Here Before” is a warm late-night deep house track built around a melodic fretless bass groove and an expressive tenor sax that moves in dialogue with the rhythm. The song explores the strange feeling of déjà-vu — the sense that a moment, a place, or a person may belong to a story that started long before this life.

Soft electronic textures, analog warmth, and a slow hypnotic groove create a space where movement and reflection meet.

Maybe it's coincidence.
Maybe it's memory.
Or maybe we've simply been here before.

Lyrics

Midnight train on a silent line
Neon drifting by
Strangers moving out of sync
Still you catch my eye

There’s a look you give to me
Like we share a scene
I don’t know your history
But I know what it means

Why does my heart react
Before I understand?
Why does your shadow fit
So easy in my hand?

I’ve been here before
I swear I know this place
I’ve been here before
I recognize your face

Don’t ask me when or why
Don’t ask me how I know
Every step with you
Feels like I’ve walked it slow

I’ve been here before

Cold café, foreign street
Your hand next to mine
We don’t need to say too much
We’re suspended in time

There’s a scar above your cheek
I don’t know the past
But something in my chest
Feels like it didn’t last

Why does silence speak
Louder than your words?
Why does something old
Hide inside this first?

I’ve been here before
I swear I know this place
I’ve been here before
I recognize your face

Don’t ask me when or why
Don’t ask me how I know
Every step with you
Feels like I’ve walked it slow

I’ve been here before

I’ve been here before
I swear I know this place
I’ve been here before
I recognize your face

Don’t ask me when or why
Don’t ask me how I know
Every step with you
Feels like I’ve walked it slow

I’ve been here before
