now that the boundaries are enforced in introvert hotline.. I start to get really excited about the newness of a relationship and this is what Centred is about. It's about feeling giddy and excited by someone and longing for them until you see them again. It's a lot more sensual than I'm used to (!!!) but I'm really proud of this song. I worked on it with Dougie Stu (from Brijean) which was a dream because I'm such a fan of them, and the groove is great!
lyrics
V1
I said I don’t write love songs
But I will tonight
Theres a stirring here that can’t be denied.
Please be patient with me
I don’t do this usually,
Drop my pride
If it means I’ll be by your side
Pre
‘cause you keep on running
yeah you keep on running
through my mind
it has to mean something
second to none
no exceptions
ah yeah you can get it
ah yeah you can get it
keep on growing
yeah you keep on growing
in my eyes there’s no chance of slowing down
Chorus
The more I’m with you pretty baby
The more I feel my love increase
I’m building all my dreams around you
My happiness will never cease
But nothings ever good without you
‘cause baby you’re my centrepiece
yeah nothings ever good without you
‘cause baby you’re my centrepiece
V2
I said I won’t be
One of those girls that you see
Running after a man but now look at me.
It’s a new endeavour
Following you to wherever
I jumped in the ocean still fearful of the sea
Pre
‘cause you keep on running
yeah you keep on running
through my mind
it has to mean something
am I in love?
What fools speak of
They say I should let it
They say I should let it
keep on growing
yeah you keep on growing
in my eyes there’s no chance of slowing down
Outro
Sweet baby coming home

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
A special, special talent.
The music and melody Cleo Sol is so healing to me.
Her music is inviting, and her spirit is receiving.
