troublefunk radio !

Hello again, I'm back from beyond, yielding yet again another track. 
While traversing the shadows, I've come to notice a great many patterns, in behaviour and desires.
Of both, those close and those random.. No real conclusion is truly drawn from my observations, but this particular song is an attempt to encapsulate a commonality that I see most tend to crave. 

I spend much of my time alone, and in those times, I am still capable of feeling intense enjoyment from different sources, and that enjoyment or excitement can be both physical and mental. 
Now, the important bit to note is that the mental enjoyment, can warp.. change almost completely to what once was, and also can be entirely dependant on other stimuli, such as mood, pressure or anxiety. 
But the body, on the other hand... is often more prone to 1 dimensional reactions. And the body, is much more reliable for gauging how one really feels.. 
The ninja knew this, and applied a wide array of body kinesthetics to understand not only of themselves, but also more of the world around them. 
If you feel physically ill to your stomach, no real amount of mental fortitude is going to negate such a fact. 
Where as a mental handicap such as negative thoughts focused on one thing.. can be altered by physical movement focus. And 1 undeniable trait, my body never fails to displays.. when I know that something is truly good.. is goosebumps.. such is the body showing you the truth. 
In conclusion, that's what this song is about. 

About seeking those things that give us, goosebumps... 
About the things that make is feel good, except with the last verse talking about ways we collapse into ourselves, and rob ourselves of feeling good.

It's an older song, written over a year ago.. but touched up to reflect my thoughts today. It's a more sombre tone, with production from https://soundcloud.com/diza-noventas. 
Much love Diza for lending me such a sound to express to. 

Lyrics Below. 


------------------------------ LYRICS ---------------------------------

INTRO VERSE 
I THINK I'VE FOUND, 
THE SOURCE OF MY STRUGGLES- 
TO MY SURPRISE-
IT WAS NONE OF THE TROUBLES- 
THAT I FACE DAILY, 
IT WAS WHAT I WASNT--- CHASING,  
THAT I FELT HAD DROVE ME CRAZY, 
NOT NECESSARILY 
BEING LAZY- 
ONLY COMFORTABLE: NERVOUS TOTHINGS CHANGING
EVEN THOUGH, 
FEELS LIKE LIFE'AH WASTING- 

WORRIED IF THE DECISIONS I'M MAKING -
ARE EVEN WORTH THE TIME TO MAKE IT. 
EVEN WORTH IT, 
NOT UNHAPPY IN THE MOMENT- BUT THE FUTURE, WHEN BROUGHT TO SURFACE, 
SEEMS BLURRY AND UNCERTAIN.

INTRO HOOK ---- X2 
OH,   
MY WONDERLUST, 		       
WONDERS WHAT - IS WHAT,            
TO DREAM & RE-ADJUST, 	          
TO GIVE AND GET GOOSEBUMPS, YES ----------------------

 
VERSE 1
I'M LOOKING JUST TO-
INTERMINGLE, TO TOUCH &FEEL THE TINGLE, 
NIMBLE WITH THE LINGUAL, SO-
TWINKLE TWINKLE- 
LITTLESTAR,  
THIS IS JUST A WINDOW
OUR BUILDINGS, ARE TOO FAR,
TOO GREAT TO REACH ACROSS
WE'VE GOT TO GO DOWNSTAIRS, AND MEET UP IN THE HALL, 
TO TOUCH, CONNECT AND TALK. 
BUT THAT'S OKAY, BECAUSE THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WANT, 
WHAT I FEEL I NEED, IS ANOTHER BEING IN THIS MOMENT TO FEEL COMPLETE, 
SO I REACH-
SO I REACH-(DRUM CHANGE)
BUT IF IT WAS UP TO ME, IN THE END I WONDER STILL, WHO I WOULD SEEK.
WHO I WOULD CHOOSE TO BE BESIDE,  
OPPOSITES ATTRACT, BUT ALWAYS TEND TO BE ALIKE, 
IT'S ALMOST EVERYSINGLE NIGHT, 
I FIND THIS TOPIC WITH A FLASHLIGHT, 
WHEN SEARCHING INSIDE, THE CHAMBERS OF MY MIND. 

HOOK 
OHH
WE FEEL THE RUSH, 
FROM THE TOUCH TO TOUCH, 
FROM THOSE WE WISH TO LOVE
TO GIVE&GET GOOSEBUMPS, YES - 
//
OHH,
I FEEL THE LUST,
TO TOUCH- WHATS UNTOUCHED, 
ON THOSE I WISH TO LOVE,
TO GIVE&GET GOOSEBUMPS, YES ------------------------
 
VERSE 2 
IT'S OKAY TO HAVE FLAWS, 
BUT IT DOESN'T MAKE ANYSENSE, 
TO LET YOUR IGNORANCE, 
BE A MAJOR CAUSE IN YOUR DOWNFALL, 

ARGUMENT, OR A FIGHT, 
FROM WHAT STARTED AS A TALK-
ABOUT, 
WHAT IS RIGHT,  
ANDULTIMATELY- WHO IS AT FAULT, 
-WHO IS IN THE WRONG 
&ON THE OUTSIDE LOOKING- I CAN SEE IT ALL-
&IN THE END,
WHEN EMOTIONS BE INVOLVED, 
EMOTIONALLY CHARGED ... &LIVING INSECURELY IN YOUR THOUGHTS, 
BEING CALLED OUT, OR BEING CAUGHT, 
ON THE FLAWS THEY WISH WERE FRAUD, 
IT'S NOT ABOUT BEING RIGHT - 
IT'S JUST FEAR OF BEING WRONG. 

WRONG&RIGHT, 
ARE NOTHING BUT DIFFERENT VIEWS ON LIFE-
THERES MORE IN STORE, 
EVENTHOUGH, IT'S NOT IN SIGHT. YOU'VE GOT TO LOOK INSIDE-
SO MANY LET THEM PASS IT BY- NO REASON, RHYME, OR WHY- 

BREAK --- 

HOOK BANK------------------------- 

OHH
WE FEEL THE RUSH,                      
FROM THE TOUCH TO TOUCH,      
FROM THOSE WE WISH TO LOVE      
TO GIVE&GET 
THE GOOSEBUMPS, YES - 
THE GOOSEBUMPS,

OHH,
I FEEL THE LUST,                             
TO TOUCH- WHATS UNTOUCHED,  
ON THOSE I WISH TO LOVE,           
TO GIVE&GET
THE GOOSEBUMPS, YES - 
THE GOOSEBUMPS, 

OH, 
SO THUNDEROUS, 
THE HEART PUMPS BLOOD, 
TO PUMP, ADRENALINE, 
TO GIVE AND GET
THE GOOSEBUMPS, YES - 
THE GOOSEBUMPS,

OH,
SHE GLAMOROUS, 
THE HEART SKIP & JUMP, 
&THUMP SO VIGOROUS 
TO GIVE&GET
THE GOOSEBUMPS, YES - 
THE GOOSEBUMPS,


END.


Much peace,

(They Long To Be) Close To U (a Discobody classy smoothness)

"(They Long to Be) Close to You" is written by the fabled songwriting duo Burt Bacharach & Hal David. It was first released in 1963  by Richard Chamberlain and was also recorded that same tear as a demo by Dionne Warwick and re-recorded with a Burt Bacharach arrangement for her 1964 album "Make Way For Dionne Warwick". Bacharach released his own version in 1968. But it was Karen & Richard Carpenter in 1970 that made it a #1 hit for four weeks in the U.S. Pop charts, from their second album "Close To You". The funny thing is that it was first given to Herb Alpert as a follow up to his #1 hit, "This Guy's In Love With You" but he wasn’t exactly excited with his interpretation so he passed it to Carpenters, the new act he had then signed to his label A&M Records.
Other cover versions were performed by Dusty Springfield, Frank Sinatra, Perry Como,  Jerry Butler, Bobby Womack, Isaac Hayes, Johnny Mathis, Connie Stevens with Kermit the Frog & Fozzie Bear on The Muppet Show, Tina Arena, Paul Weller,  Harry Connick Jr., Rick Astley, The Cranberries, The Smashing Pumpkins, and also a new one by Lauryn Hill & Ronald Isley is to be released soon. This is Homer and Marge's love song on The Simpsons, played numerous times in the series, as well as in the movie.

In 1986 Gwen Guthrie scored a UK #25 hit with her adaptation, raised from the album "Good To Go Lover", which was produced by herself. The mighty Larry Levan remixed the 12inch single, so it can not be but a masterpiece! 
Guthrie’s flawless take is the best of them all in my book as she brings new vibe to the song changing a bit the lyrics in a humorous way and provides a sophisticated funky groove. I still admire the effortless way she sang as easy as one speaks. One wonders what amazing tracks she could have recorded if only she hadn’t passed away on February 3, 1999. 

On this mix I completely reconstruct the track paying my respect to the diva and the legendary Levan. Alter intro and outro, many breaks, some new beats,sounds & stuff and lots of work on the vocals is what I deliver here. Enjoy :)

This version’s lyrics:
 
“Oh, my dear,
Now that I found you here
Come and tell me
All the things I long to hear.
Now I see
How good love can be
Closer to you…

Closer baby
Closer to your love

I wanna be
I wanna be closer
I wanna be closer baby
Closer to your love

Why do birds suddenly appear 
Every time you are near? 
Just like me, they long to be 
Closer to you. 

Why do stars fall down from the sky 
Each and every time that you walk by? 
Just like me, they long to be 
Closer to you. 

I need you baby
You’re driving me crazy!
Closer, closer to you!

On the day that you were born 
The angels got together 
And decided to make a dream come true 
They sprinkled gold dust in your hair 
But baby… your eyes ain’t blue.. 
Oh, but I love your sexy-sexy moves
You know I wanna be the one
You lay that good lovin’ on
I wanna get so close to you 
I’ll be sticking like crazy glue
I wanna be closer
Closer to your love

Oh, that’s why all the girls in town 
They love to follow you, all around
Just like me, they long to be 
Closer, closer to you

On the day you were born 
The angels got together 
And decided to make a dream come true 
They sprinkled gold dust in your hair 
But baby… your eyes ain’t blue.. 
Oh, but I love you
Oh, but I love you
Oh, but I love your 
Ah-exy-sexy moves
I wanna be the one
You lay that good lovin’ on
I wanna be closer
Closer to your love

Oh, that’s why all the girls in town 
They love to follow you, all around
Just like me, they long to be 
Closer to you

I need you baby
You’re driving me crazy!”
