General Lee And The Space Army Band - We Did It Baby

💇✨ Welcome to the world’s most emotional haircut. This isn’t just a chillwave track — it’s a full salon appointment for your soul. Imagine soft neon lights flickering through a barbershop window, scissors clicking in 4/4 time, and one poor stylist cutting more than split ends — cutting straight into their own sanity.

Because here, love is unrequited, hair is eternal, and the only tip you leave is heartbreak.

Click click click, clack clack clack — it’s the ASMR you didn’t know you needed, the break-up ballad you didn’t order, and the soundtrack for every dramatic “just a trim” that turned into an existential crisis.

So sit back in the chair, close your eyes, and let the vibes fade in like a slow-motion shampoo commercial for people who cry in the conditioner aisle.

Lyrics:

Every time you take this chair,
I breathe you in, I touch your hair.
My hands are trembling, steel so near,
But you don’t see me standing here.

You close your eyes, you never speak,
A silent wall, week after week.
I cut your crown, I trace your skin,
I beg for love you won’t let in.

Click click click — clack clack clack,
Hair falls down but you don’t look back.
I cut in love, I cut in pain,
You walk away, I stay insane.
Snip snip snip — chop chop chop,
My beating heart, it just won’t stop.
I give my soul with every line,
But you just pay and leave me blind.

I dream you’ll turn, I dream you’ll stay,
But you just smile, then fade away.
Your cold goodbye, my burning crime,
I cut your hair, I cut my time.

Each little strand, a piece of me,
Falling down so endlessly.
I try to shine, I try to glow,
But you just leave — you’ll never know.

Click click click — clack clack clack,
Hair falls down but you don’t look back.
I cut in love, I cut in pain,
You walk away, I stay insane.
Snip snip snip — chop chop chop,
My beating heart, it just won’t stop.
I give my soul with every line,
But you just pay and leave me blind.

One day these hands might slip too deep,
One day the secret I will keep.
I cut your hair, but not enough,
I wanted love — I gave you love.

Click click click — clack clack clack,
Broken heart on a salon track.
I cut in love, I cut in pain,
You walk away, I stay insane.
Snip snip snip — chop chop chop,
I fall apart, I never stop.
Your perfect head, my perfect crime,
And still you leave, like every time.

CORTEX - CHANSON D'UN JOUR D'HIVER

Eunice Collins - At The Hotel (1974)

Kansas City Express - This Is The Place

Avaialable from Mr Bongo on vinyl LP and CD https://www.mrbongo.com/products/the-sylvers-ii-vinyl-lp-cdThis is a masterpiece. And we mean it. Beautiful, golden-era soul written by Leon Sylvers III, produced by Jerry Butler and Keg Johnson.

The Sylvers were a family from Los Angeles who were very successful during the 70’s and into the early 80’s, with chart hits – deep into pop-disco territory by then! – including ‘Boogie Fever’, ‘Hot Line’ and ‘High School Dance’.

This is the groups second album, from 1973, and is one of their strongest. Opening with the awesome mid-tempo ‘We Can Make It If We Try’ the record moves through funk, boogie and deep soul moods, finishing on a hazy, acapella version of The Beatles ‘Yesterday’.

The Sylvers always provide a goldmine of samples. This album has been flipped by Madlib (for MF DOOM), Homeboy Sandman, 50 Cent, Ghostface Killah, Black Milk, Roc Marciano, David Banner & 9th Wonder and more.

The Sylvers II

05 Cry Of A Dreamer

‘Only One Can Win’ – brilliantly flipped by J Dilla on his epic ‘Two Can Win’, that appears on his legendary ‘Donuts’ LP for Stones Throw. 

‘Fools Paradise’ is a midtempo soul/funk jam taken from the first ‘The Sylvers' LP. A favourite at Mr Bongo HQ that we felt needed to appear on a 7”. Beautiful, golden-era soul written by Leon Sylvers III, produced by Jerry Butler and Keg Johnson.
