Rob Drabkin and AKINE – Related in Genre, Not Message

     The songs use the same POP vehicle, but the demeanors of the passengers bear no resemblance. “It’s a Beautify Day” is an upbeat self-lecture to appreciate the positives of life. It has some of the characteristics of an Imagine Dragon gem. The song belongs to Rob Drabkin, who is based in Denver, Colorado.

     In contrast, “Pray For The Prey” denounces beliefs that keep others moving forwardly. The track was written by AKINE while enduring difficulties that most of us will never know. She was born Nicole Kozina of Kiev, Ukraine. She wrote the song four years ago, when her country suffered multiple dimensions of turmoil. At the time, she was 13 years old.

Lyrics of “Pray For The Prey” by AKINE
I don't believe in God
Nor his angels, nor his disciples
He's a stranger, he's a criminal
Not my father, not my leader at all
Leaves the dirty to get dirtier
And wipes the clean

Speak to him closer, he knows what you're wondering
Tell him you love them, he'll shield you from everything
When will your life begin?
Tell him your secret, he'll scare you to death with them

And we pray and we pray and we pray
All because we don't know what to obey
And we pray and we pray and we pray
Heart of this foolish masquerade

Not your husband, your father, your daughter, your sons
Can ever fix the damage done
You think you're blessed and the best because of God
(Because of God)

Speak to him closer, he knows what you're wondering
Tell him you love them, he'll shield you from everything
When will your life begin?
Speak to him closer, he knows what you're wondering

And we pray and we pray and we pray
All because we don't know what to obey
And we pray and we pray and we pray
Heart of this foolish masquerade

This hate is man-made out of ancient paint
This hate is man-made out of ancient paint
This hate is man-made out of ancient paint
This hate is man-made out of ancient paint

Oh, we pray and we pray and we pray
All because we don't know what to obey
And we pray and we pray and we pray
Heart of this foolish masquerade

Who will save them?
Who will save them?

This hate is man-made out of ancient paint
This hate is man-made
