about
I wrote this track after I'd said the album was finished. It came together pretty swiftly. I found the sample and gave it a quick chop then added some extra rhodes piano which I ran live thru the sherman filterbank. I sang the vocals quite late in the evening. I then added a double track which i recorded at with the track running at a different speed, whne i brought the track back to regular speed it changed the formant in the double track to give it a kind of baritone feel.
lyrics
Pushing everyday for you
Trying to make the grades for you
Keep on marching
Never miss a step for you
For you, For you, For you
Clawing for a reason why,
Grabbing at the stars that shine,
Creating spells,
Trying to heal all your unwells,
For you, for you, for me too
We gonna wipe the tears
We don't have to cry no more
We gonna wipe the tears
We don't have to cry no more
(no, no, no, no, no)
I never want to lie to you,
Arms are open wide for you,
Burn to create,
And always running my own race,
For you, For you, For you
Like smoke upon the autumn breeze
Or leaves that rustle in the trees
Your candle burning
Barely flicker in the night
Use my cold hands to shield your light
Your candle's burning baby
We gonna wipe the tears
We don't have to cry no more
We gonna wipe the tears
We don't have to cry no more
(no, no, no, no, no)
Moodymann creates innovative soul funky music with deep 70s inspiration. The vocals are simply outstanding. A step back in time, 50 years ago! Superb. jef37
