first heard this track on a mix tape last year

Leftys 76

When I heard that Jill Scott was touring Australia for the first time later this year, I had to celebrate the announcement by remixing a few of her tracks. This is the first of those. 
Originally released on the 'Beautifully Human: Words & Sounds Vol. 2 LP from 2004. This is my remix of 'Whatever' by Jill Scott 
Enjoy!

TRACK MADE FOR AN UPCOMING RELEASE. STAY TUNED..

ON AND ON - MR TGASTON (1NCE AGAIN REMIX)

A lo-fi instrumental journey through rain, memory, and calm. “Drift Away” feels like a slow exhale after a long day — soft beats, vinyl crackle, and gentle guitar chords melting into the sound of rain.

No words needed — just warmth and reflection.
Every note drips like raindrops on glass, every Rhodes chord hums like comfort at midnight. It’s nostalgic, intimate, and quietly healing — music for coffee cups, candlelight, and peace of mind.

Perfect for study sessions, rainy nights, or self-reflection.
It’s not a song to move to — it’s a song to be still with.

🎧 Genre: Lo-Fi / Chillhop / Ambient Jazz
☕ Mood: Relaxed, nostalgic, introspective
🌧 For fans of: Nujabes, Idealism, Jinsang, Lofi Girl

Drift Away¹

Breakup(1)

High on Clarity

​(Music begins: A lone, warm upright bass line, slow and deliberate. A shaker and brushed snare join in a lazy, 2 AM rhythm. A single, moody chord from a Rhodes piano hangs in the air.)

​(Verse 1)
Empty glass on the table
Used to fill it to the brim
Same old shadows on the wall
Funny, they don’t seem so grim
You always said I ran too hot
A fire looking for a flood
But the only thing I’m burning now
Is the badness in my blood.

​(Pre-Chorus)
Used to chase the burnin’ in my throat
Just to feel somethin’ real
Now the quiet is the only antidote
For a wound I let heal...

​(Chorus)
No chaser, no disguise
I’m drunk on truth tonight
Every flaw in stark relief
Found my savior in my grief
It ain't pretty, it ain’t kind
This sober state of mind
But no chaser, no disguise—
I'm high on clarity in my own eyes.

​(Verse 2)
Remember Johnny at the corner bar?
Swore he loved my kind of sad
Said I made disaster beautiful
The best he never had
He called me up the other night
Voice like whiskey, thick and low
I just said, "That girl you’re lookin’ for...
She packed up years ago."

​(Pre-Chorus)
Used to need the poison and the ache
Just to write a half-true line
Now I see the beauty in the break
And the victory is mine...

​(Chorus)
No chaser, no disguise
I’m drunk on truth tonight
Every flaw in stark relief
Found my savior in my grief
It ain't pretty, it ain’t kind
This sober state of mind
But no chaser, no disguise—
I'm high on clarity in my own eyes.

​(Bridge)
Some nights, the silence is a scream
For a half-forgotten, foolish dream
And the ghost of you still asks for one more round
He whispers I was better when I was breakin’ down...
But a queen don't need a broken throne
And I learned to dance all on my own.
​(Guitar Solo: A clean, hollow-body jazz guitar plays a melody that’s more blues than jazz—melancholy, but resolved. It doesn't show off; it tells a story.)

​(Chorus - Sung with more grit, more power)
No chaser! No disguise!
I’m DRUNK on truth tonight!
Every flaw in stark relief
Found my SAVIOR in my grief!
It ain't pretty, it ain’t kind
This SOBER state of mind
But no chaser, no disguise—
I'm high on clarity in my own damn eyes!

​(Outro)
(Music strips back down to just the upright bass and a soft Rhodes chord.)
Yeah... drunk on truth...
Costs more than the proof...
No chaser...
Just me.
(A final, resonant bass note hangs in the silence.)
