about

SPIN seems at first a very happy Sixties BOOGALOO with an hypnotizing JAZZDANCE Feel to it, especially because of Saskia’s Acoustic Bassline and the Variation on a Standard Jazz-Blues Form. However, Rob’s Nordlead creates already a kinda Lunatical Sphere and when you have a closer listen to Mellow Mac’s thought provoking Rap Lyrics, the feeling of Strangeness becomes eligible. From there on Benjamin Herman’s Energetic yet Melancholic Alto Sax Solo Feature will lead you in his World of Versatile Musical Experience.

lyrics

(Mellow Mac:) One, two, one two / You’re in a spin come on / You’re in a spin come on / Get rid of it, step out of it / You know you gotta deal with it / Strange that I’m always / Reminiscin’ about the past / Missin’ all the good things in Life / Cause life is movin’ fast / Think forward, not back as I must say / Do good things and bad ones, and then you pay / Talkin’ about sorrow, talkin’ about remorse / Talking about the negative vibes / That knocks you of course / Don’t try to live them, try to work it out / Cause you are spinnin and you gotta get out // Once upon a time and not so long ago / I was trying to get solo but couldn’t get the flow / What was it I want and what did I do wrong? / I felt so strong but suddenly my strength was gone / No self respect no self esteem / I wish that I could sleep and life was just a dream / Get myself together, pick myself up / Help me stop spinnin before I’m gonna drop // You’re in a spin, you’re standin’ still / Come on, come on / You’re trying to move forward / Don’t know where to begin. / No time to spin, it’s time to win / Just keep on movin forward and do your own thing / And forward and do your own thing
