Creating a drum and bass track? That’s no accident. It’s a deliberate artistic choice that demands something special—a unique sensibility that not every producer possesses.
But here’s the thing about drum and bass: it’s got this incredible ability to transform pure chaos into something absolutely mesmerizing. The genre’s power hits you like a tornado, with hyper-fast beats that somehow manage to feel both urgent and hypnotic at the same time.
Enter "live for nothing"—the latest drop from chart-topping producer and 2024 Brit nominee Goddard. He’s teamed up with Northampton’s own Billy Lockett (you know, the guy often called "the English Lewis Capaldi").
Sure, Lockett’s vocals pack a serious punch. But honestly? It’s Goddard’s production that completely steals the spotlight here.
The way he balances those soft, floaty, ethereal verses against the absolutely chaotic, all-consuming choruses—that’s pure precision and flair right there. It’s like watching a master at work.
When that refrain hits—"I don’t want to live for nothing but you"—it echoes with this incredible emotional weight. Then the beat crashes in, swallowing everything in its path.

Lockett’s vocal delivery is intense, really capturing that desperation. You know that addictive pull of waiting for someone—or something—you literally can’t live without? Yeah, he nails it.
Clocking in at just over three minutes, it’s definitely a standout track. The kind that leaves a lasting impact long after it’s over.
