I Am In Love - My Heart, Your Soul

In the summer of 2013, Above & Beyond performed some of their best-loved songs acoustically as part of a 15-piece band, across four sold out shows at London's famous Porchester Hall which formed the basis of the "Above & Beyond Acoustic" studio album. The album was recorded in the spring and summer of 2013 and features a 24-piece orchestra.

"The acoustic project is a reconnection with the musicians that we were before we met", said Above & Beyond's Tony McGuinness. "The songs have been on an interesting journey to get here because we tend to write in a fairly acoustic way anyway. We don't just stick a bit of vocal over a dance track - that's not how we work. We try to start with a song and it's usually only later down the line that we take certain elements from that song and progress them into a more dancefloor-friendly version".

With Above & Beyond "Acoustic", the group are putting aside their CDJs and lighting rigs to showcase their deeply-rooted musicianship and classical training. A band first and foremost, Above & Beyond are songwriters as much as they are DJs. Working with three singers, a string quartet, harpist, drummer and bassist, Above & Beyond are pushing the boundaries of dance music. Tony McGuinness sings and plays guitar, mandolin and ukulele, Paavo Siljamäki plays the grand piano and cello, and Jono Grant plays the Rhodes piano, guitar and vibraphone.

Sentimentalist

For a self-professed lover, romanticist at heart
I wasted less to no time at all
Tying the knot
Dying to not rot
But I’m no sentimentalist

Was a self-confessed tyro, so rational so far
Such a dumb way to get what you want
Loved you a lot, loved you a whole lot
But I’m no sentimentalist

Don’t I know you, my love?
Don’t I know you, my love?
You can ask me again, but you may never know
I’ll be damned if I fight
I’ll be damned if I don’t
In the end, would it count?
Don’t you know me, my love?
Don’t you know me, my love?
I may ask you again, but you may never know
I’ll be damned if I fight
I’ll be damned if I don’t

For a final farewell before everything falls down
You wasted less to no time at all
On a table for eight you set for a trio
You were no sentimentalist

Sought a mock independence, irrational and harsh
Such a sad way to get what you want
Love be the hurt and the consoler
But I’m no sentimentalist

Don’t I know you, my love?
Don’t I know you, my love?
You can ask me again, how the hell should I know?
I’ll be damned if I fight
I’ll be damned if I don’t
In the end, would it count?
Don’t you know me, my love?
Don’t you know me, my love?
I may ask you again, but you may never know
I’ll be damned if I fight
I’ll be damned if I don’t

Need To Know

Put 'Em Up

I am teaching myself to remember your name
Tom
Alice
Jude or Jade
I made a list
Things to do
An interlude to self-improve
Because I’m into you
And we’re still friends
Still life and only
Ever drunk on buses and trains
Always in search of
When will I see you again
Again a game of hearts in search of
Question
Are you drunk
Lonely
Estranged
Are all of the above a pisstake
Mystic Sage
When will I see you again
 
Again a game
Where I would walk this way
Just to say hi
Goodbye, old soul
You are cold
And I’m over it
Over those
Easy laughs
Obvious jokes
Self-pity
Diminish in a city of diminishing returns
Of yearning
Learning to sing dance act
Like I’m on the mend
When I’m a triple threat
And the fact is
That we’re still friends
Still life and only
Just making ends meet
Needs must
We pretend to be a part of this century
So far adrift from where you are
 
You are where you are
You are where you are
You are where you are
You are where you are
 
Like so many
Metaphors I don’t have time for
I could tell you I’m not performing
Not a lot like but liking Billy Corgan
LET ME GIVE THE WORLD TO YOU
Gary
Mark
Jess or Jessica
Now you’re just guessing
Digressing
I’m messy
Confessing
What’s the best way to say it
Not be depressing
Time was never right
For us to be still friends
Still life and only
Ever drunk on buses and trains
I am teaching myself to remember your name

I Am Teaching Myself to Remember Your Name

Magnifique

Nightclub Amnesia

This is unconventional 
only way that we can roll 
and if we runnin’ outta coal 
I know some people who can pull 
I’m talking people who do right 
Use their tongues to spark and light 
Plan to aim it, push it fight it 
teach it learn it, save, ignite it 
This is urgent so best plan on me to overnight it 
Might Ehren Watada 
My vision is brighter 
You’re not tall; just miter 
No cloister to hide out 
Zoom, zoom, zoom my lighter 
with a balaclava 
Clink, clink, clink the bottle 
making molotav 
Throw it up in the air 
mystic with this we shine just about anywhere 
only ‘cause I care 
 
 
I love you 
so much you make the nights better 
you make them lights hotter 
you make the sweat wetter 
I love you 
so much you make this worth doing 
just keep that truth spilling 
keep your body moving 
 
 
Get out your seats please don’t be rude 
I am not your average dude 
Pick up hints and clues I’m shrewd 
Rosanna Pan calls me Nancy Drew 
Gotta bag of tricks make my words backflip 
Trip over metaphors, then I squeeze em like clips 
So hold up, focused, armed like soldiers 
We’re ready for war, I thought I told ya 
Thunderbird, '65, all white, cream inside 
chrome finish, fresh to death 
Killed the game so they can testify 
Synths analog, kick strong 
I keep it in the trunk of the car I’m driving 
You can buy all the swag that you can 
but you crash, when you try to ride in my lane 
Like I learned to ride a bike in one day 
ain’t nothing to hide my bruise 
Tears and rain in the concrete 
there’s no challenge I refuse 
Now I’m black and blue 
Ain’t gotta rule you 
just keep you body movin til it’s 
black and blue 
They don’t own it, so they can’t control it 
 
 
I love you 
so much you make the nights better 
you make them lights hotter 
you make the sweat wetter 
I love you 
so much you make this worth doing 
just keep that truth spilling 
keep your body moving 
 
 
See the lights go out 
Then the knives get drawn 
Hear the boots hit the ground 
when it all falls down 
First the lights go out 
then the knives get drawn 
So let this thought ferment: 
When did you revoke consent? 
Do you need a homestead to defend? 
Tear down the fence 
 
 
I love you 
so much you make the nights better 
you make them lights hotter 
you make the sweat wetter 
I love you 
so much you make this worth doing 
just keep that truth spilling 
keep your body moving
