this sounds really cool love the effect on your vocal gives a cool tone

Lyrics

You say 
You love me
But you don't 
Show it to me
You say 
You trust me
But you've got 
Your secrets

I look 
At your face
But I don't recognize it
I hear 
Your voice
But I don't understand it

You're hiding 
Something from me
I try to understand you

I notice 
Your presence
But I 
Feel nothing
I see 
Your lips
But they tell 
Me nothing

I look 
At your face
But I don't recognize it
I hear 
Your voice
But I don't understand it

You're hiding 
Something from me
I try to understand you

I feel 
Your hand in mine 
But I do not 
Realize it
I know 
We are far away 
From each other that's how it is 

I look 
At your face
But I don't recognize it
I hear 
Your voice
But I don't understand

You're hiding 
Something from me
I try to understand you

You're hiding 
Something from me
I try to understand you

I try to 
understand you
understand you
understand you

I try to 
understand you
understand you
understand you

You're hiding 
Something from me
I try to understand you

You're hiding 
Something from me
I try to understand you

You're Hiding Something

TIME TO GET BUSINESS STRAIGHT
Original song by Nicole Willis & The Soul Investigators
Rock'n roll reinterpretation by Overdrive

Syncopated vocals have become something of a rarity these days. Most singers prefer to create melodic lines that fit perfectly into the tempo of the song -- because it's much simpler, the vocals can be created in one go, on the same day, without too much effort. But every now and then a talented singer comes along who decides to break the tempo of their vocals in an absolutely original way. 

This is the case of soul singer Nicole Willis in the song "Time To Get Business Straight". 

The first time I heard this song, I was absolutely fascinated by the broken rhythm of her vocals. And the way the second part of the song repeated the first part made it clear that those vocals were far from improvised -- on the contrary, each intricate part was designed to be there, as if it were a mathematical structure.

Check out the original version:

I extracted the vocals using Ultimate Vocal Remover and realized that the melodic line fit very well into rock songs. In fact, they were even the provisional vocals for the song "Rocket", before the amazing singer Sumi took over the microphone and did a brilliant job. But the idea of using Nicole's vocals remained and after the good response to the cyberpunk reinterpretation of "I'm Bored", I thought it would be interesting to attempt a rock'n roll reinterpretation of "Time to Get Business Straight".
 
Of course, I tried to get in touch with Nicole Willis during the process of creating the song and after the track was posted on Soundcloud. She currently lives in Finland and is still active as a singer in her sixties. Here's one of her most recent performances:

Her social networks, on the other hand, seem to be rarely accessed and I've had no success in contacting her. Damn, it would have been an unforgettable collab, I'm sure of it. 😄

Hope you enjoy my rock'n roll version of this soul music classic.

Ride On

Cheveux au vent
Tu cours guillerettement 
Gracieux, subtil
Ton sourire me prend

Souris à la vie
Petite chérie
Chasse la peine
Qui te saisit
Je serai là 
Pour te guider
Je ferai au mieux
Sois en assurée

Tes yeux marrons 
Font ma joie souvent
Il arrive parfois 
Qu’ils soient mon tourment

Souris à la vie
Petite chérie
Chasse la peine
Qui te saisit
Je serai là 
Pour te guider
Je ferai au mieux
Sois en assurée

Sois forte et fière
Directe et sincère
N’écoute pas ceux-là
Ils seront malheureux

Souris à la vie
Petite chérie
Chasse la peine
Qui te saisit
Je serai là 
Pour te guider
Je ferai au mieux
Sois en assurée

Trace ta voie
Elle est à toi
Inspire toi des Dieux 
Ils sont valeureux.

Souris à la vie
Petite chérie

D’un long chemin

Des joies, des chagrins

Pour te guider
Je ferai au mieux
Sois en assurée

Sois fière de toi
Regarde devant
Je serai là
Je t’aime tellement.

Souris À La Vie

The Playing Fields Of England by These Guitars Say Sorry critiques the glorification of war and questions the romanticized ideals of heroism often associated with it. The song emphasizes the sacrifices made by ordinary soldiers and challenges the notion that war is something to be celebrated or revered.  These Guitars Say Sorry's  folk-inspired songwriting style, is accompanied by his percussive acoustic guitar playing acting as the perfect backdrop for the song's post punk lyrics.

On the playing fields of England
There are battles won and lost
I have seen them fought so many times I had almost forgot
That it's a pleasure and an honor as you go out to die
I'd do it all a thousand times for the old school tie

So hold your head up high
So I can see you're full of pride
As you lay down your life
On the playing fields of England

Past the ranks of blue and gray
Into the old school hall
You can read the roll of honor or heed the distant call
Like your father before you, you'll tread a distant land
You didn't learn the first time, so now you're going back

I look in your eyes and I can see the pain
And then you ask me who's to blame
I told you it was much more than a game
On the playing fields of England

Nobody thought to question why you went to die
Bravely put on the uniform and joined the end of the line
But age brings with it wisdom, but you'll never grow old to know
On the playing fields of England, you will reap what you have sown

As they fly your body homeward, draped in your country's flag
Past lines of grieving relatives who know you're never coming back
On the playing fields of England was where you chose to play
But a generation of you went marching to the grave

As you lie facing the sky, I can only wonder why
You believed a pack of lies about the playing fields of England
The playing fields of England
