YAZOO - Dont Go (PAJ Remix)

Words and Music by Roger Whittlesey. All sound by Whittlesey. ©2024

Dear Reader, 

Sometimes when I place my hands on the piano, chords sequences just happen. This was the case with Thickets of Time. I suddenly found myself playing the strange inversions of the first four chords, and then I was off. The rest of the song wrote itself. 

The beautiful delay on the drums was an accident. A happy accident. I love it when that happens. 

This calendar year has had its hills and valleys, and no doubt anyone who has been listening to my music can hear both ends of the geographical spectrum. I don't believe that this song reflects any one moment, but is simply a statement of what it is to be human living in time. 

I hope you find something of value in the song. 

Thanks as always for your continued listening. 

All My Best,

Final Hour

Yeah
Who am I? Someone that's afraid to let go, uh
You decide, if you're ever gonna let me know, yeah
Suicide, if you ever try to let go, uh
I'm sad I know, yeah, I'm sad I know, yeah

Who am I? Someone that's afraid to let go, uh
You decide, if you're ever gonna let me know, yeah
Suicide, if you ever try to let go, uh
I'm sad I know, yeah, I'm sad I know, yeah

I gave her everything
She took my heart and left me lonely
I think broken heart's contagious
I won't fix, I'd rather weep

I'm lost then I'm found
But it's torture bein' in love
I love when you're around
But I fuckin' hate when you leave

Who am I? Someone that's afraid to let go, uh
You decide, if you're ever gonna let me know, yeah
Suicide, if you ever try to let go, uh
I'm sad I know, yeah, I'm sad I know, yeah

Who am I? Someone that's afraid to let go, uh
You decide, if you're ever gonna let me know, yeah
Suicide, if you ever try to let go, uh
I'm sad I know, yeah, I'm sad I know, yeah

Who am I? Someone that's afraid to let go, uh
You decide, if you're ever gonna let me know, yeah
Suicide, if you ever try to let go, uh
I'm sad I know, yeah, I'm sad I know, yeah

Who am I? Someone that's afraid to let go, uh
You decide, if you're ever gonna let me know, yeah
Suicide, if you ever try to let go, uh
I'm sad I know, yeah, I'm sad I know, yeah

"Friday Night" – A High-Energy, Funk-Infused Celebration
"Friday Night" is an uptempo, groove-heavy track that blends lively bass, funky guitar and drums, and a brilliantly arranged saxophone section to create an infectious, feel-good anthem. The song evolved organically through the contributions of musicians from around the world, showcasing the collaborative spirit of what is quickly becoming known as the Intercontinental Collaborative (ICC).
Credits:
    •    Roger Whittlesey (USA) – Words & music, lead and background vocals, keys, drums
    •    Georg Boehme (Germany) – Saxophone arrangement, tenor, alto, and baritone saxophones
    •    Tim Jordan (USA) – Lead and rhythm electric guitar, funky outro figures
    •    Noel Barrett (Ireland) – Bass guitar
    •    Christy Bluhm (USA) – Background vocals (verses and outro)
The song took shape in a truly international fashion:
    •    New Hampshire, USA – Whittlesey wrote and recorded the foundation of the track.
    •    Cork City, Ireland – Barrett infused the song with his signature bass groove.
    •    Philadelphia, USA – Jordan layered in three guitar tracks, adding a funky rhythm and refined lead licks that elevated the song. He also introduced the funky outro figures that would later become a highlight.
    •    New Hampshire, USA – Bluhm enriched the track with her soulful background vocals, expanding upon Jordan’s outro idea.
    •    Cologne, Germany – Boehme crafted an intricate sax arrangement featuring close harmonies and syncopated lines. He then capped off the song with a sizzling baritone sax solo in the outro, turning up the heat.
Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
I can’t wait for Friday night
We’ll drive away from city lights
I will be with you-know-who!!
Playing Keno in the bar.
We’ll leave our worries in the car.
I will be with you-know-who
(Chorus)
Bring me the smile that I love
The one I’m thinking of
Sing me the song I adore
There’s nothing that I want more
(Verse 2)
When I’m at work how time does crawl
But Friday night’s the best of all
I will be with you-know-who
(Chorus & Outro)
With its driving beat, funky instrumentation, and dynamic sax section, "Friday Night" is a testament to the power of musical collaboration across borders, delivering a track that is both playful and electrifying.
