I started out writing a love song, yes, it was meant for you.
Turns out it was not much of a   love song. 
The story it told grew stale,  grew old. Not sure when I first  knew.
This was not gonna be your typical love song.

I once believed that writing a love song meant putting words to a tune.
But that’s not the way you write a true love song.
The tale that you tell cannot buy, cannot sell, maybe we gave up too soon.
Turns out it was not your typical love song.

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
The lesson I’ve learned is real love is not earned. It sort of  comes naturally.
So maybe I’ll never write a true love song.

It ought to be easy, writing a love song, just listen to your heart. 
So, why do I struggle writing a love song? 
I might be inspired if I knew you kept tryin’, but I don’t think you do.
So maybe I’ll never write a true love song.

Your Typical Love Song

The sun paints a warm glow that stretches across the afternoon sky
I try to play it cool
But hiding my excitement has proven to be futile
The breeze flies by with the scent of jasmine
Nature's aromatherapy
If I could bottle up this breeze
Then I would label it L.O.V.E.
Because if love was a fragrance, I imagine that this would be it
And I would want so badly to be all drenched in it
Wake up every morning and just cover myself with it
Mark the price as free 99 because love is free
But I digress

I stand next to him
Bewildered by this supernatural connection
We lock eyes and commence to engage in a mental mating ritual of some kind
He takes me by the waist
Commanding my every move
And I collapse in his embrace
Caving into his gravitational pull

My cool has betrayed me
Just up and left me
To weather the storm steadily brewing inside of me
Love is raining down
But there's no need for shelter
As cliched as it sounds
His arms are my shelter
Those arms
Those…long, strong, intimidating yet intriguing arms

We coax one another with not so careful touches
And spur each other on to take it a step further
My inner goddess awakens from her deep slumber as instincts takes over
His physique melds with mine
Our chakras perfectly align

I cling to him
He clings to me
I'm needing him
He's needing me
I'm breathing him
And he's breathing me
Then...the crowning moment when our lips finally meet
Jasmine
Breeze
Flower
Ecstasy

Rising stars within the free-form hip-hop, electronica, and jazz circuits. Respective Dutch talents Niels Broos and Jamie Peet have teamed up for their debut collective EP on Super-Sonic Jazz Records. Niels Broos, having come to attention through his music with Brainfeeders Jameszoo and The Kyteman Orchestra, creates a tapestry of hypnotic melodies and frantic harmonies atop the dexterous, and tight drum rolls of drummer Jamie Peet. The collaborative alliance creates an EP that sits within the young contemporary jazz scene, while it’s seeking for peculiar and adventurous sounds.

The self titled debut from the Dutch pair is full of free-improvisation, sterling electric sounds, trademark Rhodes warmth, electronica and jazz. From across Europe, artists are helping redefine our understanding of what jazz is, with Niels Broos & Jamie Peet falling directly into that vision. Niels Broos and Jamie Peet create that balance between classic sensibilities with a contemporary sound very much influenced by East Coast electronica exemplified by Broos’ work with Daedelus and Alpha Pup’s Daddy Kev. Jamie Peet, who more recently has collaborated with Cuban pianist Ramón Valle Trio and Cinematic Orchestra collaborator Dominic J Marshall, lays down a sequence of stirring highs, broken beat rhythms and a wide palette of rolling kicks. The EP creates a sound that stretches from the Brainfeeder-like of trippy melodies of ’Saitama’, through to the gritty minimalist overtures of 'Conundrum', to 'Heist', an electronic mesh of electronic and percussive explorations.

The Niels Broos & Jamie Peet EP is the first body of original pieces to be released on Super-Sonic Jazz, following recent reissues of records by Hal Singer & Jef Gilson, Beverly Glenn-Copeland and a tribute LP by Palm Unit. Super-Sonic Jazz Records is runned by Dutch DJ KC The Funkaholic (a.k.a. Kees Heus) and brothers Tenzers (a.k.a. Vincent & Siemen Tenzer). Besides the label, Super-Sonic Jazz hosts a successful six day festival, monthly concerts and club nights at Paradiso Amsterdam, where the three are responsible for bringing in exciting names in the global music scenes. Heus was also responsible for the running the Dutch imprint Kindred Spirits, that released records by international heavyweights, while championing local pioneers simultaneously.

So lemme set the mood for you...

It's Monday evening (2019 somtym). Anxnymxus and I are at SABC recording this song. It's called 'cherry gardens'. We're almost done laying down all the vocals and the vibrations are so delicious that they attract two wanderers... we all listen and float together. We save the project and take a break.

*intermission*

We come back to record another song but I quickly realise that the song needs more conceptualising. Our session is almost over so we decide to listen to 'cherry gardens' one last time before we leave but after a few painful attempts to recover the song, we accept that the fact that the file is corrupted and we'd have to rerecord. Now this recording is from a WhatsApp chat with my sister. I sent her a vn of the rough draft so she could hear what we were up to. I reeeeeeally wish I recorded this on my phone's default recorder but these things happen. I wanted to share this with anyone who'd appreciate the energies here. This is a gem because even though the rerecording will sound similar and maybe even better, it will never sound the same again.

We rerecord on Friday.
