The sun paints a warm glow that stretches across the afternoon sky
I try to play it cool
But hiding my excitement has proven to be futile
The breeze flies by with the scent of jasmine
Nature's aromatherapy
If I could bottle up this breeze
Then I would label it L.O.V.E.
Because if love was a fragrance, I imagine that this would be it
And I would want so badly to be all drenched in it
Wake up every morning and just cover myself with it
Mark the price as free 99 because love is free
But I digress

I stand next to him
Bewildered by this supernatural connection
We lock eyes and commence to engage in a mental mating ritual of some kind
He takes me by the waist
Commanding my every move
And I collapse in his embrace
Caving into his gravitational pull

My cool has betrayed me
Just up and left me
To weather the storm steadily brewing inside of me
Love is raining down
But there's no need for shelter
As cliched as it sounds
His arms are my shelter
Those arms
Those…long, strong, intimidating yet intriguing arms

We coax one another with not so careful touches
And spur each other on to take it a step further
My inner goddess awakens from her deep slumber as instincts takes over
His physique melds with mine
Our chakras perfectly align

I cling to him
He clings to me
I'm needing him
He's needing me
I'm breathing him
And he's breathing me
Then...the crowning moment when our lips finally meet
Jasmine
Breeze
Flower
Ecstasy

Everlasting

Sons Of The James "Can't Believe You Love Me"

"Native Dancer is a refreshing burst of imagination, uniqueness, and purpose in a crowded electro-fusion landscape" Afropunk

"With influences ranging from Herbie Hancock to The Cinematic Orchestra, London 5-piece Native Dancer are the new troubadours of psychedelic soul.” Stamp The Wax

Birthed from deep within London’s burgeoning Jazz resurgence, Native Dancer have been setting levels across the capital’s live scene (and beyond) over the past two years. Five individual artists who together set out to create a music that speaks from the heart and denies none of their influences in a genre twisting mashup of styles with elements of pop, soul, electro-funk, jazz, rock and dance music.
These sonic explorers have created a sound world that attempts to dissolve boundaries fusing acoustic instruments, synthesizers and samples. The music evokes ideas of parallel realities, a common element that connects everything and ultimately promotes peace and love.
