"Everybody has their own Kryptonite Everybody here’s just tryin To get it Right" Verse 1: "Straight out the starting line With the fire inside You got heart for the win And there’s strength in your stride Out here lookin the best Nothin you can be told You got faith in your steps Commanding full control And so you throw the first punch All bettin' on that knock out But deep down there’s a hunch Growin' to king-sized doubt Cause there’s somethin’ you forgot Although ya really tried to hide Whether ya like it or not, Yeah you can't deny..." Hook: (that) Everybody has Their own Kryptonite Every super hero Sometimes, has themself to Fight Verse 2: Nobody's first to come clean In this game of bein' Right All caught up in the seems That’s how we lose our Sight A script with all the best Lines In a movie called Self A million pies in the sky While humble stays on the Shelf We strive to be so pure get everything down pat But with this Beast at the Door Seems it ain’t where it’s at So go on poke a little more Through my iron man Suit Think I’m done bein' so sure (I'm going forward) Lest I’m caught in the Rearview.." Bridge: "Sometimes it’s all you got Make no Mistake Time to get the hint Gotta use all your Strength Not the way I’d have it If it was up to me Gotta know your Weakness To really break free Don’t let it get you Down Fight till the End Sometimes your weakness Is your very best Friend Put on your cape It’s time for the show Ya might as well try Even though we well know ooo-oo..." Outro: (that) Everybody has.. their own Kryptonite Yeah i tell you what, i tell you what It's that Kryptonite You know we all got It Let's be real tonight Let's just feel, tonight And lean into that Kryptonite!"

about

Julian Hartwell returns with a fresh face and bold new direction in Kryptonite - his first entirely self-produced, indie/alternative/experimental pop take on human weakness and the struggle to overcome it.

Featuring the masterful guitar work of Paulito Muse, Kryptonite blends driving beats, playfully thoughtful lyrics, synth layered FX and an ear-worm hook into a decidedly fresh and vocal-driven take on the Julian Hartwell Project. Having lead an instrumental jazz/funk group under the above moniker for years, 2023 sees Julian turning inward to focus his songwriting and composing skills on the one source point of it all - at last and finally, himself.

From the artist:
"The story of this song began at a backyard jam session, prompted by a catchy chord progression and a spontaneous vocal line sung by a friend that would become the hook. Realizing it's ear-worm potential, I've spent the last three years on and off producing it from my home studio, featuring my brother Paulito Muse on guitar, and learning a boatload about production and mixing my own music in the process. I'm excited to embark on this new direction of storytelling through song, making room for new experimentation while creating music that can be more accessible to the everyday listener."
