“Madness” by Zayde Wølf – A Song Feature


     With his release of “Madness,” Zayde Wølf delivered another single that is perfectly tailored for cinema, video games, and other media in which music is used to emphasize determination and conviction to purpose, particularly if the purpose is to enter battle. Thunderous percussion, backing vocal shouts, and crescendos contribute to the pandemic-like motivational effect that “Madness” builds in listeners.
 
     Zayde Wølf is the solo project of Dustin Burnett, a producer and musician based in Nashville, Tennessee. His music has been used in films and television shows, as well as trailers and television promos. So, the door is likely at least partially open for “Madness” to create another layer of opportunity to appreciate his skills. We hope the sports channels that carry college basketball’s March Madness recognize the opportunity.
 
     While explaining “Madness,” Dustin Burnett quoted the lyrics and then provided some insight:
  ’Last chance / The time has come / Step into shadows / Army of one.’ This is a song for the anti-hero channeling all that pain and frustration… and madness, and using that for fuel.”
He also noted:
  “I love watching shows and movies with dark story lines with protagonists who are sort of broken-should-be-heroes. Writing ‘Madness’ is what I imagine these anti-heroes would be faced with. To the Kylo Rens, Jon Snows and Batmans out there, this one’s for you.”
 
     Zayde Wølf is scheduled to release his third full-length album on May 7, 2021. “Madness” and the single “Back At It” will be among the thirteen songs on the album, which will carry the title “Neon Blood Type.”

Lyrics of “Madness” by Zayde Wolf
Last chance
The time has come
Step into shadows
Army of one
 
You've got no savior
Nowhere to run
Born to face it
The war's begun
 
This gonna be madness
This gonna be madness
Not taking no chances
This gonna be madness
 
Walking through the ashes
And I'm carrying matches
This gonna be madness
This gonna be madness
 
This gonna be madness
This gonna be madness
 
Let's get crazy
Let's get crazy
Yeah, we like it
 
This gonna be madness
 
Let's get crazy
Let's get crazy
Yeah, we like it
 
This gonna be madness
 
Last dance
The time has come
Let's make some magic
Let's have some fun
 
Step into greatness
Walk to the sun
You were born to face it
Since you were young
 
This gonna be madness
This gonna be madness
Not taking no chances
This gonna be madness
 
Walking through the ashes
And I'm carrying matches
This gonna be madness
This gonna be madness
This gonna be madness
This gonna be madness
 
Let's get crazy
Let's get crazy
Yeah, we like it
 
This gonna be madness
 
Let's get crazy
Let's get crazy
Yeah, we like it
 
This gonna be madness
 
Don't live just for safety though
Cause this road is a wavy one
We can do it for the crazy though
Let's go
Let's go
 
This gonna be madness
 
This gonna be madness
This gonna be madness
Not taking no chances
This gonna be madness
 
This gonna be madness
 
This gonna be madness
I'm carrying matches
I've been walking through the ashes
This gonna be madness
 
This gonna be madness
