Adelaide producer Netanya starts the new year with "The Ivory Tower", a fusion of midtempo contemporary EDM with a dark ambience with uncredited lead vocals by Seb Mont. It is the next single from Netanya's upcoming February 14th 2022 album With You which was originally slated for an October 2021 release. The song, dubbed "a pretty sweet little pop jam!" by Triple J Unearthed executive producer Tommy Faith, is noted for "a big vocal performance over some artfully done production." With the single being released on January 14th 2022, it already opened at #128 on the iTunes Top 200 Dance chart in Australia. Following the previous singles "King of My Castle" and "More Heartbeats", "The Ivory Tower" is among the earlier songs that were produced in late 2020 to early 2021 and is about the pain of loving someone who doesn't love you back and not wanting to let go.
lyrics
(Verse 1)
You and me, sitting by the olive trees
Do you feel the same way as I do
The warmth and fuzziness is comforting
Wish upon a star you u feel it too
(pre chorus)
I don't know how else I could describe my feels
Your demeanor colors, you teal
But looks are designed to be deceiving
Oh its a shame that you don't feel for me
(Chorus)
This is where I use to be
Livin' like we're supposed to be
This is where I use to be
Wishing it was you and me
If only I could summon power
And take ya to the ivory towеr
This is where I use to bе
Wishing it was you and me Tonight (Ivory Tower)
Oh, tonight
Ivory tower, oh
If only I could summon power
And take ya to the ivory tower
This is where I use to be
Wishing it was you with me Tonight (Ivory Tower)
Ivory tower
(Verse 2)
You and me, a breath of air I felt so free
I spent so long chasing happiness
Didn't occur that it wasn't you with me
This is where I’m dreaming, this is where I want to be
(pre chorus)
I don't know how else I could describe my feels
Your demeanor colors you teal
But looks are designed to be deceiving
Oh its a shame that you don't feel for me
(Chorus)
This is where I use to be
Livin' like we're supposed to be
This is where I use to be
Wishing it was you and me
If only I could summon power
I’d fly ya to the ivory tower
This is where I use to be
Wishing it was you and me Tonight (Ivory Tower)
Oh, tonight
Ivory tower, oh
If only I could summon power
And take ya to the ivory tower
This is where I use to be
Wishing it was you with me Tonight (Ivory Tower)
