This is a typical Simon Wright track featuring hip hop verses with a catchy pop chorus and soul band instrumentation. Written in 2009 originally as a compilation with producer D-dub dave, it was later rearranged for the band format when Simon put together the band The Eclective.
Lyrically, it is a positive spin on the popular post relationship song format.

01 You Don't Know

The second track of the 2010 EP "SW&theE". This track features a reggae rhythm with hip hop style vocal delivery in the verses and a catchy pop chorus. Third verse features a solo by the Eclective's pianist Andrew Vollmer. Originally written as a folk rock song in 2006 by Simon and Andrew Wright for their first band "The Wright brothers" then rearranged/written in 2010 for Simon's funk, soul project "The Eclective". Since then Simon's brother Andrew has pursued a career in the musical arena with progressive rock band "Engine Three Seven".

02 Lift Me Up

Recorded live in May 2010 at Vibe on Smith st, Melbourne by the Melting Pot crew in one of their renowned "Writers in the Round" sessions. This song was written when Simon first moved to Melbourne in an effort to chase his musical career. Lyrically it is a love song format dedicated to music. A symbol of Simon's dedication to music as a career choice.

Music

This is a the most laid back track on the EP, featuring a soul style groove with hip hop vocal delivery and some sultry backing vocals by the sexy Candice Monique. The end of the track is taken out by the Eclective's guitarist Tristan McCoppin. The song lyrically is about spending the night with a past love.
