Zouk Heat 2024 Thursday

I started my set with Lambada and Brazilian Zouk for the "Keeping it Rio" theme for the lamba dancers at Zouk Heat.  Often times at events the lamba dancers like to have meet ups to gather and dance together and switch partners frequently.  For Zouk Heat 2024 they asked me if I could play lamba so they could all be on the dance floor and dance together.

2024 Zouk Heat Friday Night  Lamba Start

Lyrics

Yeah, uhm...

See, it's situations like this
That cause us playas to get caught up in (truth hurts), uhm, the truth

Yeah, yeah (truth hurts)
What you been doing, where you been?
I paged you and you ain't hit me back (truth hurts)
And I've been calling, I know you see my number on that caller I.D. (truth hurts)
Just listen to the words

The way you feel, the past you lived
The things you did
It don't matter to me
For what it's worth, just don't lie to me
'Cause that ain't what I need right now
Baby, everything we built on trust
You're tearing it down
'Cause I know the truth hurts (truth hurts)

Tell me the truth now
What you been doing and who you been doing it with (truth hurts)
Where you been going and how you been putting your thing down (truth hurts)
Whatever you was working, I hope that it was worth it, baby (truth hurts)
I got reason to believe that you been fooling around

Girl, I'm really trying hard to understand
I want to move on and put it in the past
'Cause you claim that you ain't doing nothing
Must be my insecurities
It's got the best of me right now, uh
What I know, I can't hold it inside of me
It's gon' drive me insane
That's how I know the truth hurts, yeah

Tell me the truth now
What you been doing and who you been doing it with (truth hurts, hurts)
Where you been going and how you been putting your thing down (truth hurts)
Whatever you was working, I hope that it was worth it, baby (truth hurts)
I got reason to believe that you been fooling around

Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah
Bah, bah, bah, bah (sing it with me now)
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah (oh, yeah)
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah (oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah
Bah, bah, bah, bah (I can't hold on)

Truth hurts
Now wait a minute
Oh, listen babe (truth hurts)
The truth is, I've got the secret
I've been keeping from you, baby
'Cause I know that you gonna tear up the place
Punch me in my face
Pull the hot grits out, I think you need to sit down, oh
I've been blaming you when I'm the one that's doing wrong
I'm gonna go on
My guilty conscience is the real reason I wrote this song
Girl, I know the truth hurts, baby

Tell me the truth now
What you been doing and who you been doing it with (truth hurts)
Where you been going and how you been putting your thing down (truth hurts)
Whatever you was working, I hope that it was worth it, baby (truth hurts)
I got reason to believe that you been fooling around
Tell me the truth now
What you been doing and who you been doing it with (truth hurts)
Where you been going and how you been putting your thing down (truth hurts)
Whatever you was working, I hope that it was worth it, baby (truth hurts)
I got reason to believe that you been fooling around

The closing set for the Marck & Melyssa Brazilian Zouk Weekender in Boston, hosted by the Zouk Pirates on January 6, 2024.

Chapters: A cursed pairing > traditional > slow but hype > since I know some people who like Halsey > chill R&B >  > build it up then kill it, but speed it up, but also slow it down again, but also make it more energetic > now we're at a party > now we're at a beach > "It's time to try to break people" > surprise electronica > surprise traditional > surprise encore.

>> DJ Nerds << In a recent private with DJ Kakah, I was challenged to experiment more outside the box. The only "planned" part of this set was the opening couplet and, beyond that, the idea was to play.  In this set I ended up transitioning in places I normally wouldn't, between genres that shouldn't work together, and playing with layering and mashups in bold, new ways. As a result, I felt more "visible" as a DJ, with more in-your-face (yet still smooth) transitions, and created a set with some of my strangest energetic / BPM curves to date. Hope you enjoy this little experiment 😉

Tap In | Marck and Melyssa in Boston (Friday)

2025 Interfusion Brazilian Zouk Sexy Saturday  Closing Set

Verse 1
Morning cracks open with that tender gold,
I step toward the doorway, courage loud and bold.
I trace my reflection with a steady hand,
Then I walk through the moment like I own the land.
I carry my stories with a cleaner thread,
I sort through the echoes that once filled my head.
Every inward whisper lights a softer spark,
Every gentle promise guides me through the dark.

Pre-Chorus 1
I lift my heart with deliberate choice,
I give my truth a living voice.
I honor each chapter with unshaken sight,
Then I rise through the haze toward widening light.

Chorus
Risebright—every echo turns warm in my chest,
Risebright—I choose life, I choose depth, I choose rest.
I gather the moments that strengthen my stride,
I pull every blessing right here to my side.
Risebright—every scar takes a softer shape,
Risebright—I keep walking toward my landscape.
I hold my story with a gentle might,
I claim my life and I risebright.

Verse 2
I laugh with my people at the end of the day,
We trade little victories along the way.
I keep the small joys close in my palm,
They settle my pulse with an honest calm.
I teach my children how to live unmasked,
How to lift their truth when the world feels tasked.
We walk our journeys with whole hearts lit,
We turn our shadows into sacred fit.

Pre-Chorus 2
I clear the clutter from the corners I keep,
I free my mind so my dreams stand deep.
I speak my wants with a brighter tone,
Then I build my tomorrow with steps I own.

Chorus
Risebright—every echo turns warm in my chest,
Risebright—I choose life, I choose depth, I choose rest.
I gather the moments that strengthen my stride,
I pull every blessing right here to my side.
Risebright—every scar takes a softer shape,
Risebright—I keep walking toward my landscape.
I hold my story with a gentle might,
I claim my life and I risebright.
