A warm winter solstice take on Calvin Harris' and Ellie Goulding's epic 2013 track "I Need Your Love". Spiced by the fire.

Robert North x Calvin Harris - I Need Your Love (feat. Ellie Goulding)

When I heard Claudeo (https://soundcloud.com/claudeomusic) and Karissa Yu's cover of Echo Smith's Cool Kids (https://soundcloud.com/claudeomusic/echo-smith-cool-kids-feat-karissa-yu), I knew it was the sound I'd been looking for to get out this message. Something so raw and honest about it.

Guitar, initial production, backup vocals etc: Claudeo:
Vocals: Karissa Yu
Drums, bass, vocals, final production: Robert North

Lyrics:

She sees them walking in a straight line, that's not really her style. And they all got the same heartbeat, but hers is falling behind. Nothing in this world could ever bring them down. Yeah, they're invincible, and she's just in the background. And she says,
"I wish that I could be like the cool kids, 'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in. I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids."

she thinks that she gonna rule the world
gettin all those gifts, givin kisses for them pearls
free drinks at the bar she got a makeup monopoly
everybodies fake, but i'm great, doesn't bother me
everybody waits her, hates the hot property
material girl at the top cock gobbling
the drop is far and its hard on the bottom swallowin
she lookin to the stars, the footpath she should be honoring

the worlds been handed to her on a silver platter
living in the moment though like nothing really matters
alone she gonna own it pretends like she already has it 
don't listen on the phone, no, attention is so low you know she so scattered
she's had it up to here
thought she had the courage but she just in fear
needing validation so she stuck in here, stuck in gear
thinkin that she's cool now cuz she's fuckin round the atmosphere
different paths she could of strayed, ignoring whats inside

//

and she says, i wish that i could be like the cool kids
cuz all the cool kids, they seem to fit in,
i wish that i could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids

//

she thinks that she gonna rule the world x 3
she's thinking about it 
she's thinking and thinking

//

she's hopeful, hopeless
wanting to be noticed
on the outside but wantin closeness 
look at her idols flyin so high up on those posters
but they hidin their divin just like rollercoasters

such pressures to face how does she cope with and
no less, she seeking advice from those who know less
with no where to go, broken home, her daddys homeless
smokin them cones to focus, hopes for atonement

gropin a grown man with money and his own plans
honey seems lucky but she 
cutting off her own dance
the games were funny 
now they reality she moanin
thinkin to take another drink
sinkin the pain oh yeah

its no fair
but it was obvious don't go their leading nowhere
now your needing to breath in deep but feeling like there is no air
jealousy fills your life but showin up with no cares
but i know there are plenty 
your pretty empty
i try to help, but you won't let me

Robert North X Claudeo Feat. Karissa Yu - Cool Kids Cover Bootleg - Little Girls

This Robin Schulz track which epitomised summer feelings in Europe this year. Blended with that Robert North flavour to make this festive party starter. Features my dog who was barkin a bit during recording. What do they say if you can't beat them join them so she's in the mix. My little dog is gangsta.

lyrics:

i gotta take it slow 
the days way too fast
stop it there minute hand that is racin past
let me blaze it 
pass
dissipate the past
master hitting with his sprit demonstratin heart
comon
raise a tarp
with my dog and my lady playin at the park
with my tunes trippin triple j'ers out the car
i'm stayin true to the truth though ya favourite star
ha, nah, me aint irate
argh, more like carrabean pirate
need to laugh while imprisoned with high rates 
we part with half of whatever ya time pays  
tax business 
i'm a  wizard high place
carvin all the walls of your blind hate 
fark, away for a minute and my dog is gettin in it
runnin 'way with my fillet eye steaks



i was summer dreaming when the sun was beaming
being by the seaside when the sun was leaving
i had a wild dream none of us were needing
we were all as one mumma drum love was beating
look around all i see is eyes that see me
and smiles so widenened they could almost eat me

wish i had a wand i would wash away the darkness
but it made me who i am and who i am is hardened


in the garden with my lover laughin
for us its eden
enough for breedin
i'm plantin my seeds when her legs are partin
beg ya pardon
but these gems aint starvin

why you hateful
i'm just askin
ya wastin space hate  self eradicates
all the hellish shit we make
fella put up a new sign
north is here
come on these are the new times
you got potential 
but you sluts are mental
 
corrupted upper cunts 
stuck in rain torrential fame
floodin buckets elevations  painful
hey bruzz i'm bloody comin just  to see you a new lie

Silence | Yeray Beats Feat. THEWIZ & AMP :: RobertNorth Remix

War somehow is still being sold as some sort of peace maker. You know... gotta get the peace out there... the democracy... and if these countries don't want our peace then we better bring in the bombs and force it right? Somehow there still seem to be people who believe peace is achieved through war and that one act of violence is better than another. So when I was looking for something to sample the other day I came across this old record and I wasn't really sure I was putting together but when it all meshed it felt perfect for this thing that I wanted to convey. War... please don't let me be misunderstood. Thanks for listening. 


Nina Simone - Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood (gorillajunk and obama remix instrumental - remastered)

INXS Beautiful Girl (feat. Gorillajunk)

I admire the simplicity and profound awesomeness of a lot of dance music out there. My music is often quite complex, erring on the side of depth rather than reach. So I was listening to "Feel So Close' by Calvin Harris and thought I would do my best to engineer a cover of it in my own way and attempt to recreate the production gorillajunk style without samples. I learnt a lot in the process. This was the result. 

Oh... and its to celebrate 1 yr anniversary living with my girl, who's love really does surround me like a waterfall :) Enjoy!
