Name: Bye and Bye by Jocko MacNelly
Duration: 3 min 13 s
Description: from my album "Remember That Morning." Available on Bandcamp with all proceeds going to World Central Kitchen.

Simba Ya Kenya (70's Luhya Benga!!!)

This song blends traditional rumba from DR Congo and soukous (the latter of which was formed when rumba musicians were influenced by Cuban rhythms and soul music from England and the US). Rumba songs are often built on 6/8 rhythms and soukous always features a bright, arpeggiated guitar style, which is Siama's forte.

Oyayeyo (new composition by Siama Matuzungidi)

from my album "Remember That Morning." Available on Bandcamp with all proceeds going to World Central Kitchen.

                              

Bye and Bye

Featuring myself with John Ballinger. Special thanks to Phil Cody, Rob Seals and my colleagues at The Songwriting School of LA.

Just for fun we, met one evening, on a harmless dare / Put in motion by a friend, saw us as a pair / Sparks were flying, before we knew / Yet, you, ask me why / There’s no why, no why in love
We were drawn, to place and time, without, a second thought / Invisible magnetic force, pulled from South to North / You, are the one, you know it’s true / So, don’t, ask me why / There’s no why, no why in love
Echoes, from the other side / We know we’ve run this trail before / Some other season / Coming to us only, in our dreams / Only in our dreams
My head buried in the clouds, you’re so down-to-earth / Two sides of a golden coin, only grows in worth / You, ask me, you ask me why / I don’t know, it just happened / There’s no why, no why in love / There’s no why, no why in love

Written by Stephen Scott (BMI): Lead vocal, guitars, bass
