@comegetit: thanks ^.^ kontakt + copious amounts of weed + OCD + great original sample made magic

This is my "remix" of that song.

Lyrics:

take it back like young and dumb
take it back to the place i was
good times we sippin wine girl
you and i had so much fun

sometimes read it on your face
something here was out of place
payed no mind when i saw it again
i got the key to your heart my friend
bend back just like that
i know how to make your synapses react
to the fact that i know you're coming back
toes curl and the world melts
once again you are left helpless
lost in all these chemicals
fuck the world lets make a toast
another dose of that love potion
pull it out to silence commotion
gentle thoughts were in your head
most of them were never spoken

now i'm trapped in a memory
what'd i do wrong anyway?

then your spirit came to me
in the form of a dream you said:

[
My Hand…

]

I forgot to be a lover
I never took the time to look inside your mind

December came, I thought I lost you
maybe that flame was inexhaustible
your soul would track me down
a voice delivered to my door said…

[


…I'm so in love with you
]

oh no, please don't stay in love with me
i could never give you what you need
just keep sending messages
to torture me with words you speak

[

]

I forgot about the simple things…
I forgot about the simple things…
Pushing you away cuz i had a bad day
and now i feel embarrassed 
the reason you would stay
is because you really love me
love is not a game to play
i was never winning
though sometimes you'd let me think that way

it really is too late
just leave me with the words you speak
so i can throw them to the deep
hope that someone catches them
learns from all of my mistakes
i hope that it reminds them
to be kind no matter what they're facing

listen to the one you love
focus on who's there for you
otherwise before you know it
here is what she'll say to you:

Claudette & Ti Pierre’s 1979 version of the folk song ‘Zanmi Camarade’ jumps straight out of leftfield. Haunting vocals are accompanied by a heavy drum machine and arpeggiated synth backing for a Kraftwerk-in-Port-au-Prince vibe. 

Stockholm's Tropical Treats crew give the track the subtle edit treatment, bringing out the bass and rounding off the sound.


Claudette and her husband, the blind keyboard player Ti Pierre were – and still are- household names in Haiti.  Touring a stripped-down synth/drum machine and vocal combo they recorded a string of hit records in the 70s and 80s that, although classics in Haiti, are little known outside.

The chant was one of pain and desperation as he stood amidst the village of shanty huts. This was a place which he had called home for so long but now as he stood staring at the burnt out town that surrounded him he had never felt a stronger sense of disconnect. His heart ached for his missing lover, she had vanished into the shadowy depths of the forest which surrounded the once peaceful town. He shouted into the night, calling her name, "Tabanka" he cried, again and again.

I make music using a variety of horrible techniques. Detuned broken acoustic guitars, damaged ukuleles, keys, drum machines, djembes, african pianos, VST keyboards, running water, chirping birds, bubble wrap popping, people laughing, machines starting, and my voice... these are all instruments. I make my own samples and play all the bass/guitar stuff doing the whole multi-track one-man band thing in Cubase. If you enjoy the music, Like me on Facebook, and check out my YouTube channel for some cool stop-motion music videos. I invite you to stay for a while and enjoy the sounds.
