Lyrics

Everybody’s half dead – everybody avoids everybody, all over the place in most situations most all of the time – I know I know I’m one of these everybodies - and so all I’m tryin to do all the time, is just open people up, open people up, open people up - that is all, that is it – that is all, that is it…
Chorus: How Nina Simone it is, Simone it is – now, we’re Nina Simon-ing it, Simon-ing it
I always thought I was shaking people up – open people up, open people up -
But now I want to go at it more coldly - I want to shake people up so bad that when they leave the nightclub, I want them to be peacin’ - I want to go in that den of those elegant people and their 
old ideas - smugness, and drive them, drive them insane – open people up, open people up –
Nobody can tell you though, you gotta feel it, it’s what make a groove…
Chorus: How Nina Simone it is, Simone it is – now, we’re Nina Simon-ing it, Simon-ing it
What’s free to me?  Same thing as to you – you tell me.  Just a feeling, it’s just a feeling, it’s like – 
how do you tell someone how it feels to be in love?  You cannot do it, you cannot do it to save your life, you can describe it, but you can’t tell ‘em – but you know it when it happens - that’s what I mean by free – free. I had a couple of times on stage when I really felt free – it was really something else.
I tell ya what freedom is to me – no fear. I mean really no fear.  Lots of children have no fear – 
that’s the closest…that’s the only way I can describe it, like a new way of seein’ - no fear…
Chorus: How Nina Simone it is, Simone it is – now, we’re Nina Simon-ing it, Simon-ing it
What’s free to me – same thing as to you – you tell me
Chorus: How Nina Simone it is, Simone it is – now, we’re Nina Simon-ing it, Simon-ing it
No fear – open people up, open people up
Chorus: How Nina Simone it is, Simone it is – now, we’re Nina Simon-ing it, Simon-ing it
What’s free to me – same thing as to you – you tell me

Ornament lyrics 

I’m an ornament
I’m an ornament

Turn on the lights I want to see you 
Turn on the lights I want to do you
Turn on the lights I want to touch you
Turn on the lights, turn on the lights

Turn on the lights I want to hold you 
Turn on the lights I want to touch you
Turn on the lights I want to taste you
Turn on the lights, turn on the lights

Look pretty, keep it sharp, stay on the shelf, don’t you move 
He said to me 
Look pretty, keep it sharp, stay on the shelf, don’t you move 
Look pretty, keep it sharp, stay on the shelf, don’t you move 
He said to me 
Look pretty, keep it sharp, stay on the shelf, don’t you move 

I’m an ornament
I’m an ornament to you

Turn on the lights I want to hold you 
Turn on the lights I want to touch you
Turn on the lights I want to taste you
Turn on the lights, turn on the lights

Look pretty, keep it sharp, stay on the shelf, don’t you move 
Look pretty, keep it sharp, stay on the shelf, don’t you move 
Look pretty, keep it sharp, stay on the shelf, don’t you move 
Look pretty, keep it sharp, stay on the shelf, don’t you move 

I’m an ornament
I’m an ornament

Shade Away lyrics

Oh Tili - you got my feet to dance in
Oh Tili - you raise up the day
Oh Tili - you got my feet to dance in 
Oh Tili - you just throw the shade away

Tili na ngangu, tili na ngangu 
(translation ‘I can see the light’)
Tili na ngangu, tili na ngangu
Tili na ngangu, tili na ngangu, tili na ngangu

Have you seen the light shining in the ghetto? 
You seen the light shining through the night?
Have you seen the light shining in the ghetto?
You seen the light shining through the night?
Oh Tili - tili na ngangu - you got my feet to dance in
Oh Tili - tili na ngangu - you raise up the day
Oh Tili - tili na ngangu - you got my feet to dance in 
Oh Tili - tili na ngangu - you just throw the shade away
You just throw the shade, you just throw the shade
You just throw the shade, you just throw the shade away

Oh you seen the day chase away the shadow? 
 And you seen the day throw the shade away?
Oh you seen the day chase away the shadow?
You seen the day throw the shade away?
Oh Tili - tili na ngangu - you got my feet to dance in
Oh Tili - tili na ngangu - you raise up the day
Oh Tili - tili na ngangu - you got my feet to dance in 
Oh Tili - tili na ngangu - you just throw the shade away
You just throw the shade, you just throw the shade
You just throw the shade, you just throw the shade away
You just throw the shade, you just throw the shade
You just throw the shade, you just throw the shade away

Tili na ngangu, tili na ngangu 
(translation ‘I can see the light’)
Munganguru lu wiyaringu - oh tili
(translation ‘no more darkness’)
Ngayulu pukulpa, watjilpa wiya
(translation ‘I am happy, no more sadness’)
Tili na ngangu, tili na ngangu – oh tili
Tili na ngangu, tili na ngangu
Munganguru lu wiyaringu
Watjilpa wiya, watjilpa wiya

Hey Wanhaka

ELECTRIC FIELDS are two feminine brothers -ZAACHARIAHA FIELDING and MICHAEL ROSS - combining modern electric-soul music with ancient indigenous culture.
 
What happens when you take the edges of gender and culture, then meet at the cross section?
Elegantly coupling Ananu language and english in their soon-to-be-released debut EP SHADE AWAY, these girly boys are in the business of bypassing the barriers.  Something Australia and globe will be gagging for after the first listen. 

Writing as a duo, Electric Fileds brings together Zaachariaha Fielding’s lead vocal that takes soul to the stratosphere and Michael Ross’ true inventiveness as producer.  Think Daft Punk meets Deep Forest with the fearlessness of Nina Simone.

Individually, they’ve had highlights in previous projects with Michael Ross’ original song Equal Love being used online by Gay Marriage USA. 
Whilst in former duo ZK, Zaachariah Fielding impressed the Australian television audience so much they made it to the grand final of The Voice
and had an ARIA charting single with their take on John Lennon’s Imagine.

With a music video and two short documentaries already in the pipeline, 
ELECTRIC FIELDS know what freedom is… no fear.
