Lyrics 

I'd wake in a fright
With tears in my eyes
Knowing no way around
Telling you now
There's no way to know
What is on your mind
I'm so caught up girl
I kept searching for a sign

Been sick to my teeth from all the things you do
I don't really get if you're beguiling
If it's all just silly games to play
Oh well, once it's off my chest, it's off my chest

Then nothing's gonna frighten me
In my sleep
Then nothing's gonna frighten me
In my sleep

You draw me in
but you kept in check
Don't know if it's me or him
You want off your back
There's a pregnant pause
between every word
Can't you tell we're long past
the point of no return?

Been sick to my teeth of wanting you
I don't really get if you're beguiling
If it's all just silly games to play
Oh well, once it's off my chest, it's off my chest

Then nothing's gonna frighten me
In my sleep
Then nothings gonna frighten me 
in my sleep
Then nothing's gonna frighten me
In my sleep
Then nothings gonna frighten me 
In my sleep

TIME TO GET BUSINESS STRAIGHT
Original song by Nicole Willis & The Soul Investigators
Rock'n roll reinterpretation by Overdrive

Syncopated vocals have become something of a rarity these days. Most singers prefer to create melodic lines that fit perfectly into the tempo of the song -- because it's much simpler, the vocals can be created in one go, on the same day, without too much effort. But every now and then a talented singer comes along who decides to break the tempo of their vocals in an absolutely original way. 

This is the case of soul singer Nicole Willis in the song "Time To Get Business Straight". 

The first time I heard this song, I was absolutely fascinated by the broken rhythm of her vocals. And the way the second part of the song repeated the first part made it clear that those vocals were far from improvised -- on the contrary, each intricate part was designed to be there, as if it were a mathematical structure.

Check out the original version:

I extracted the vocals using Ultimate Vocal Remover and realized that the melodic line fit very well into rock songs. In fact, they were even the provisional vocals for the song "Rocket", before the amazing singer Sumi took over the microphone and did a brilliant job. But the idea of using Nicole's vocals remained and after the good response to the cyberpunk reinterpretation of "I'm Bored", I thought it would be interesting to attempt a rock'n roll reinterpretation of "Time to Get Business Straight".
 
Of course, I tried to get in touch with Nicole Willis during the process of creating the song and after the track was posted on Soundcloud. She currently lives in Finland and is still active as a singer in her sixties. Here's one of her most recent performances:

Her social networks, on the other hand, seem to be rarely accessed and I've had no success in contacting her. Damn, it would have been an unforgettable collab, I'm sure of it. 😄

Hope you enjoy my rock'n roll version of this soul music classic.

I am happy to present a further great collaboration with southafrican Singer Sonwriter Mike Hill.

In a world where we all live with broken dreams,
Through the storms we will walk, legs shackled in chains
With fiery eyes, Uncontrollable rage
Still defiance in faces. Our souls are still wild
With passionate cries, we fight for our places
We’ve seen all the signs, we’ve seen all the signs
Chorus
Oh, we’re floating through fire. Our hearts are on fire, we’re holding on
We carry on, nothing controls us.
We’re floating through fire. Our hearts are on fire, we’re holding on.
We’re holding on. We carry on. Nothing controls us
Floating through fire. Floating through fire. We carry on, floating through fire.
We carry on.
Bridge
Oooooh. Ooooh. Oooooh, OOOOH
We’ll be holding on with fire in our eyes.
We’ll be fighting on with fire in our hearts
We’ll be floating on, onto paradise
We’ll be holding on, onto paradise
We’ll Carry on
Chorus
Oh, we’re floating through fire. Our hearts are on fire, we’re holding on
We carry on, nothing controls us.
We’re floating through fire. Our hearts are on fire, we’re holding on.
We’re holding on. We carry on. Nothing controls us
Floating through fire. Floating through fire. We carry on, floating through fire.
We carry on.

Heitið by Laxá really captures the essence of their Icelandic post-rock. The strings of the Heima Kvartett, Mike's keyboards, Jussi's guitar work and the ever-present driving reggae feel of Bjarne's and Matthias' back line. It's a dark and cinematic piece with brooding deep bass driven by the drums.

Jussi Siglarson - Guitar
Bjarne Guðjohnsen - Bass
Matthias Helguson - Drums
Mike Taylor - Keyboards
Lisbeth Heima - Violin
Sif Árnadóttir - Violin
