Oh wow. We are LOVING South African singer songwriter Lionel Bastos’ latest composition, ‘Win’. Fresh from heartache, the lyrics tell it all. Take a listen to the audio below. It will move you.
Lionel posted this recently penned and rawly recorded song on Facebook a couple of days ago and has already received requests from artists to record it for themselves. So we wanted you to hear it before the rest of the world does.

Oh I know in time
I’ll put it down, I’ll pick it up, I’ll almost drown
But I’ll beat this thing
There’s no paradigm
You just go in, you just go on, you scream and shout
You drown the din
And I know that things are standing in my way
But no matter what they do, no matter what they say
I’m not going to lie down for this
I will get back on my feet, I won’t accept defeat
I’m not going to lie down for this
I will face it all and if I fall I’ll stand again
But I’m going to win
I’m going to win
There’s a fire burning
Just like Adele, a little hell, it burns my soul
But this will pass
There’s a churning pain, haunting me, taunting me, flaunting me
But it can’t last…. forever
So as sure as minutes eat the hours away
I will make it through this storm, come what may
I’m not going to lie down for this
I will get back on my feet, I won’t accept defeat
I’m not going to lie down for this
I will face it all and if I fall I’ll stand again
But I’m going to win
I’m going to win
Listen to ‘Win’
