Savvy, also known as Asaviour, is back with his first official solo release since 2018. “Where We Come From“, is a Hip Hop / UK Soul anthem that explores themes of nostalgia, the challenges of societal division, and the enduring human desire for connection.
The track features the soulful vocals of UK R&B talent Ruby Wood (First Word Records, Submotion Orchestra), who lends her soulful vocals to the song’s powerful and yearning chorus. Produced by Savvy himself, “Where We Come From” is more than just a catchy tune; it’s a call for unity in a time of social fragmentation.
Savvy reflects on a longing for a stronger sense of community, a feeling of shared experience that seems to be fading. Yet, amidst the frustration of a world divided, there’s a flicker of hope. The song pulsates with the belief that a return to unity is possible, even if it feels just out of reach.
“Where We Come From” isn’t simply lamenting the past; it’s a call for action. Savvy acknowledges the challenges but writes with unwavering purpose, using his music to bridge divides and promote understanding. The song is a powerful reminder that even in difficult times, embracing change and fostering connection are essential for a better future.

Lyrics:
Chorus:
You know where we come from
Swear that I been here before
A feeling we gotta restore
And I can tell you
This is coming
I swear that you know what I mean
A lucid dream but we can’t grasp it
Verse:
Picture the scene envision the story
I’m praying you find some sanctum in the auditory
Coz these are strange days for many hard times
Still sweating from this arduous climb
Still battling for hearts & minds I see no end
Side & divides it seems to be the trend
Its pays in dividend,
I don’t know what to say man I barely comprehend
I’m trying to find a way to transcend all the pretence
Chorus:
You know where we come from
Swear that I been here before
A feeling we gotta restore
And I can tell you
This is coming
I swear that you know what I mean
A lucid dream but we can’t grasp it
Verse:
I’m a complicated man with some simple needs
I’m from humble means heart on my sleeve
Found a way to eat, push the pen and I craft the beat
Sounds sound surrounds and astounds this more than me
This is more than you,
this is truly us, that’s my point of view
I swear we’re losing that connection algorithms of division
A deception of perception puts all in opposition
It’s cold but I hold hope
Coz it’s all just temporary change is growth
Yes I guess it’s necessary ebb and flow
Keep the ear real close__ to the ground
Avoid the status quo
I’m renowned for a sound embracing friend or foe
I expound for a pound I’ll tell you all I know
For what it’s worth in a verse I pull it out of the dirt
Dumfound with profound it’s gift and curse
Bridge:
Looking back on what we had
Not point that
Coz thats the past
I ain’t what it was, it can never be the same
I’m embracing that change, still a product of the game.
Looking back on what we had
Not point that
Coz thats the past
I ain’t what it was, it can never be the same
I’m embracing that change, still a product of the game.
Chorus:
You know where we come from
Swear that I been here before
A feeling we gotta restore
And I can tell you
This is coming
I swear that you know what I mean
A lucid dream but we can’t grasp it
