Mr Hudson - Step Into The Shadows Lyrics






She said step into the shadow, come out of the light
She offered me her cigarette
I said nah babe you're alright
She said step into my shadow, I don't bark but I bite
She said she's feeling thirsty
She needs something tonight
So step into the shadow
Now I can't take my eyes of her lips blood red, redder than red
Eyes like moons. Carry me away from here

What could I do?
She said let's find a cosy dive bar
Or We can do this in the street
She'll have a bloody mary
I need something to eat

So step into the shadows, come of the light
She offered me my future self
I offered her a light
I stepped into the shadow

I wish we never met, I wish I never saw you standing there yeah
Your silhouette turned a switch in my head, a trick in my bed, you drew blood now it's hard for me to leave
Now it's impossible to leave you
Death of a salesman, death of salesman
Oh yeah you killed a man, yeah, a man on that run
When you tempt me with the passionate, oh, with the passionate
Wish we never met, now I'm never gonna leave, this is who I wanna be, this is who I wanna be
Caught me on another side, that darker side, that newer side, that suicide

  6. O.... F....

    Kinda heartbroken it's a sample. Here I was thinking Mr Hudson came up with this BRILLIANT music . . How it goes I guess

    O.... F....

    Ryuichi Sakamoto wrote the music years ago but Mr Hudson transformed it into a lyrical fantasy!

  7. a.... ....

    This is absolutely haunting; the beat, the lyrics, and especially the vocals. Wouldn't expect anything less from such a brilliant music artist. Bravo, Keoni

  8. N.... D....

    why hasn't this got more views?

  9. J.... R....

    I love the original song by Ryuichi Sakamoto and sometimes played it on piano. MH's interpretation is beautiful like entering into a world of fantasies. Now I want to write my own lyrics to this tune

    J.... R....

    Jing Ren original song? This isn't a cover !

    J.... R....

    mate do you still have this tune? i would like to follow thy step too

  10. Y.... ....

    Forever love Mr Hudson...

  11. t.... ....

    Idris ruined this song.

    t.... ....

    You ruined the world by just existing

  12. F.... T....

    the sampled song was the ending to babel called "endless flight"  A really good movie.  Definitely worth watching sometime.  A great song too Mr. Hudson.  It seems this song  fits in with the calm, rhythmic, somewhat dark undertone that your previous songs had.  I need my fix of unique pop ridden music to mask out the narcissistic message current music drills into the general public.  And your music and lyrics definitely stand out from the common music developers "Flow Chart" of ways to satisfies common people musical needs.  Because right now satisfying common people is not that rewarding when all that is required is to rant about an abundance of expensive possessions and enforcing the idea that all men who wear a specific brand of clothes are entitled to everything they want.  Your lyrics tell a story of a man who experiences real life not some guy on the fast life obtaining everything he wants as fast as possible. So thanks for giving me something to tune out that stuff.  Keep it up.

    F.... T....

    @Frank Tyler 'Endless Flight' is also known as 'Bibo No Aozora' by Ryuichi Sakamoto. Out to those who know.

    F.... T....

    @Ashley Taylor yeah I knew that but I was pretty lazy when I typed the comment. I didn't know the title by heart so I just went with endless flight.

  13. L.... J....

    Idris Elba is amazing...
    I love this song

  14. J.... J....

    after having been a fan since 2009, I have to say this is a disappointing song. After the perfect album Straight No Chaser, and the amazing A Tale of Two Cities, how can this be the new product? It doesn't have the magic, it doesn't have a personality, it feels like something that can hardly be listened to in a setting other than some movie's credits. This is really disappointing Hudson. I used to follow your blog every day for four years, until you made the BIG KIDS album. It felt like you gave up on yourself. I really believed that you would be an international superstar, yet all I have seen is mediocre. Don't get me wrong, I loved Fred Astaire, but it was a nice experiment at best. This song needs no explanation. This is less than what you are capable of. 

    J.... J....

    @John Salinas I don't know what Mr. Hudson you've been listening to, but this sounds pretty on-point. Can't you see his gradual progression to jazz-influenced sounds?

    I'd say this is his best song in a while. Also, being a fan isn't just liking the music, it's about liking the artist. If you're not moving forward with the artist, you're not a fan. You're just a listener.

    J.... J....

    @Zane Tinning Being a fan means liking the artist, yes. But being a real fan means being honest with an artist's work. If an artist releases a song that isn't as high quality as his previous work, then its the responsibility of the fans to state their honest opinions. If they just blindly praise their music without thinking about how it could improve, that makes us worse than being a casual listener.

    J.... J....

    John Salinas Mr Hudson has never been tied down by any particular genre, so what you say is not correct, just love it for what it is,sheer magic,and forget about labels and comparisons

  15. N.... S....

    For anyone who doesn't know about Idris Elba's music, look up Driis on YouTube. You'd be surprised! I was.

  16. E.... A....

    This beat sounds like Trey Songz's "Can't Be Friends' track.

    E.... A....

    +Everliza A They both sample a song called 'Bibo no aozora' from 1996

  17. M.... R....

    beautiful

  18. A.... ....

    um amazing song, I listen to it every night before I go to sleep

  19. t.... ....

    i dont understand why Idris is on this song.

    t.... ....

    why not?

  20. J.... T....

    Wow, Idris Elba and Hudson.. what a weird twist.

  21. A.... K....

    If you're looking for the sample, it's Ryuichi Sakamoto "Bibo No Aozora"

  22. C.... J....

    Thank you Darren Criss for having brought me here.

  23. n.... ....

    Darren Criss brought me here lol

  24. s.... ....

    Nice! Step into my shadow!

  25. c.... ....

    Only listened to this for Idris Elba!

  26. T.... P....

    Loved it......

  27. d.... ....

    Np


    Idris killed that shit.

    Dxpe af.

  28. W.... A....

    not bad I like it 

  29. N.... O....

    I ♡ u Idris but nah... too slow most hit music today have beats are 100-130 a minute intro by 11 seconds and 2-2:30 there's a new sound ir break down in the song. Maybe that would've helped this slow dry song. Going to have to gong it or pass me some lsd. But I ♡ idris

    N.... O....

    People like you are the reason music sucks so bad today

    N.... O....

    @KyleAKAHerm
    was gna say this, that was the most ignorant, sheepy comment i have read in a long time.

  30. C.... R....

    I love the music, I reminds me of some of Sade's music. Love it.

  31. 1.... ....

    Idris brought me here :D and I'm glad he did! 

  32. L.... ....

    I love this.. A really mature but fresh sound.. sexy as.. It's probably just me but can't help debating the absence of a third verse.. overlapping Idris' emotional 'suicide' line and coming straight back in with Ben's voice, stepping back into the shadow... Anyway.. It's a album track for me.. something that will be sandwiched in the middle creating a tonne of mood and nostalgia and dark emotion. (the girl, I assume it's the same girl that features throughout all three albums, she got him good and proper didn't she?...) Or possibly the last song on the album. It makes more sense to me in that context when compared against Move and Fred Astaire... Don't get me wrong, I love this, utterly love this song and the new feel.. Just had to get that off my chest that's all.

  33. T.... G....

    TOTALLY SICK

  34. S.... ....

    Astounding music!

  35. c.... ....

    Got serious Blood Orange vibes towards the end

  36. A.... B....

    She needs something tonight....  I wish we never met

  37. E.... s....

    Mr. Hudson just facepalmed the shit out of Jay Elec's sample lmao this is actually more tight. 

  38. K.... H....

    Does this sample Better In Tune With The Infinite by Jay Electronica? Or does that song sample this? Or are they both sampled from some different song I don't know? Either way, loving this jam. Mr. Hudson is the man. Love his voice and lyrics.

    K.... H....

    99% sure it samples Bibo No Aozora by Ryuichi Sakamoto

    K.... H....

    @Melanie K Yup that's right

    K.... H....

    They both sampled the same song.

  39. S.... M....

    Amazing new music from Mr. H & Idris!

  40. P.... D....
