The Busker

Dance (Our Own Party)

Follow them on:

As the name would suggest, the band began by busking on the streets of Malta.

Jean Paul was one of the band’s founders, before Sean soon joined adding a retro saxophone vibe, and then, after a shake-up of various band members, Dav. Jr completed the lineup three years ago. Since then, they’ve performed at festivals, headlined major events, and toured across several European countries.

This band is a little bit of soul, a little bit of pop, and a little bit of funk. Their signature sound has even won them the honour of Lovin Music Award’s ‘Best Album of the Year’.

The indie-pop band won Malta’s national final with their song Dance (Our Own Party), a song that explores social anxiety and, more specifically, leaving a party to spend time with friends in a more comfortable setting. Amen to that!

Lyrics to Dance (Our Own Party)

Wait now, Can you speak up It’s a little bit loud I’m a little bit lost Oh Fogged up Might be the drinks Or the social tease Of anxiety The tension I’m getting The faces I drew on I can’t focus Should’ve known this When the tik gets toking I’m gone I feel better In my sweater Got my stereo I’ll play you songs you know But Hey, Wait, What you say? Do you want to dance? Do you want to dance? Do you want to dance? Do you want to dance? Dance It’s on Yeah, we go outside Take the very first ride Try to save our night If you’re keen I got some indoor shoes I can offer you Get you in the groove The tension Is lifting Another moment would’ve been too much This the real me Our own Party Our own Party Our own Party I feel better In my sweater GaGa Radio Is this the song you know? Hey Wait What you say? Do you want to dance? Do you want to dance? Do you want to dance? Do you want to dance? Dance I feel better In my sweater GaGa Radio Is this the song you know? But hey What you say? Do you want to dance? Do you want to dance? Do you want to dance? Do you want to dance? Do you want to dance? Do you want to dance? Dance
