I love this sounds great and I like your voice

My Body is Your Instrument

In a world full of darkness, we search for the light  
Lost in the shadows, searching for what's right
But don't you worry, don't you fear
There's a fire inside you, let it burn bright and clear 

Break the chains, break the mold 
Don't let anyone control 
You're the hero of your story, don't you see?
In the vivid dreams you'll find the real you and me 
Take a step, don't hesitate 
Embrace the journey, embrace your fate 
Let the music guide you, set you free
In the vivid dreams, you'll find the real you and me 

In a world full of shadows, lost in the night, 
Broken hearts, and shattered dreams in sight,
But don't you worry, don't you be afraid 
There's a spark deep with in, let it guide your way

Ignite the fire, let it burn oh so bright
Illuminate the darkness, bring the day to life 
There's a flame within, let it guide your way

Break the chains, break the mold 
Don't let anyone control 
You're the hero of your story, don't you see?
In the vivid dreams, you'll find the real you and me 
Take a step, don't hesitate 
Embrace the journey, embrace your fate 
Let the music guide you, set you free
In the vivid dreams, you'll find the real you and me 

Ignite the fire, let it burn oh so bright 
Illuminate the darkness, bring the day to life
There's a flame within, let it shine so clear 
In the midst of chaos, your light will appear 

Ignite the fire, let it burn oh so bright 
Illuminate the darkness, bring the day to life 
Break the chains, break the mold
Don't let anyone control 

Break the chains, break the mold 
Don't let anyone control

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.

On parle souvent de l'enfance comme d'un paradis perdu., mais pour certaines et certains d'entre nous, elle fut un véritable cauchemar, terrorisés par un aigle noir...
à Annie...
Paroles:
Ton géniteur, qui aurait du,
Te protéger, choisit l'abus,
Et ses mains, sur ton corps d'enfant,
Et le silence, si pesant...
Si ton enfance te poursuit,
Si ta jeunesse paya le prix,
Dis toi qu'il a payé aussi,
Si ton enfance te poursuit.
J'ai parcouru, tes dix sept ans,
Je n'ai rien su, de tes tourments,
De tes terreurs, toujours nocturnes,
Quand le matin, se faisait diurne.
Si ton enfance te poursuit,
Si ta jeunesse paya le prix,
Dis toi qu'il est très loin d'ici,
Si ton enfance te poursuit.
On ne refera pas l'histoire,
On fera face à nos mémoires.
Il en sera toujours ainsi,
Si ton enfance te poursuit,
Si ton enfance te poursuit.
On refera jamais l'histoire,
Il restera un aigle noir.
Au sommet de tes insomnies,
Si ton enfance te poursuit,
Si ton enfance te poursuit.

We often talk about childhood as a lost paradise, but for some of us, it was a real nightmare, terrorized by a black eagle...
to Annie...
Words:
Your father, who should have,
Protect yourself, choose abuse,
And his hands, on your child's body,
And the silence, so heavy...
If your childhood pursues you,
If your youth paid the price,
Tell yourself he paid too,
If your childhood pursues you.
I have traveled, your seventeen years,
I knew nothing of your torments,
Of your terrors, always nocturnal,
When the morning became diurnal.
If your childhood pursues you,
If your youth paid the price,
Tell yourself that he is very far from here,
If your childhood pursues you.
We will not repeat history,
We will face our memories.
It will always be like this,
If your childhood pursues you,
If your childhood pursues you.
We will never repeat history,
There will remain a black eagle.
At the height of your insomnia,
If your childhood pursues you,
If your childhood pursues you.
