I made this track when I while I thinking about my wife whom I miss very deeply right now. It's a mashup/cover of two of my favorite songs Sun & Moon by Above and Beyond and A Long Walk by Jill Scott. Both tracks are in their own rights excellent pieces of music....check them out if you haven't already.
Weirdly enough, the A&B track is a bit of a break up song but it totally has that longing quality that I feel...like every time I leave her the loss feels a bit like a breakup I suppose. Regardless, I hope you'll enjoy. Play On.
lyrics
It's raining, it's pouring
A black sky is falling
It's cold tonight
You gave me your answer
Goodbye
Now I'm all on my own tonight
And when the big wheel starts to spin
You can never know the odds
If you don't play you'll never win
We were in heaven you and I
When I lay with you and close my eyes
Our fingers touch the sky
I'm sorry baby
You were the sun and moon to me
I'll never get over you, you'll never get over me
Ooooo...
You're here, I'm pleased
I really dig your company
Your style, your smile, your peace mentality
Lord, have mercy on me
I was blind, now I can see
What a queen's supposed to be
Baby I feel free, come on and go with me
Your background it ain't squeaky clean (shhhhh....)
Sometimes we all got to swim upstream
You ain't a saint, we all are sinners
But you put your good foot down and make your soul a winner
I respect that, man you're so phat
And you're all that, plus supreme
Then you're humble man I'm numb
Yo feeling, I can feel everything that you bring
Let's take a long walk around the park after dark
Find a spot for us to spark
Conversation, verbal elation, stimulation
Share our temptations, situations, education, relaxations
Elevations, maybe we can talk about Revelation 3:17
Or maybe we can see a movie
Or maybe we can see a play on Saturday
Or maybe we can roll the tree and feel the breeze and listen to a symphony
Or maybe chill and just be, or maybe
Maybe we can take a cruise and listen to the Roots or maybe eat some passion fruit
Or maybe cry to the blues
Or maybe we could just be silent
(Repeat 8 times)
I'm sorry baby
You were the sun and moon to me
I'll never get over you, you'll never get over me

A Huge Thanks to Path Generator, Patrick Garland, Infektuous Dex (Dexter Smith), Lily Garcia, and MaddCatt (Matt Salyer) for listening to this track and providing feedback and criticism.
Music, one of the world's oldest art forms. We have these powerful machines that can do vast amounts of computations in
short periods of time and what do we use them for? Making, listening, and searching for music. It highlights what is both curious and comforting about human nature to me.
Making music is my therapy and I just want to share. If you like what I do then pay whatever you like!...more
