about

Additional strings arrangements by Jeehun Hwang

This song was commissioned for the soundtrack to the film "Uptown Girls" from MGM studios which was released by Nettwerk Records.

This song is a reminder that from the darkest moment there comes the light of wisdom and understanding. An ebullient, electro/acoustic mix that draws influence from drum n'bass, lounge, film score and world music, the song fuses together into a seamless

LYRICS
So sweetly
Completely
Like stars peppering the night
The light beats
In the heat
And everything is alright

So sweetly
Come meet me
Where life has gathered in the folds
Of breathing
Believing
That love is the goal

The truth be told
That pretty gold
Can not buy my soul
I dance in rain
Play for the game
And never feel old

I'm breathing
Believing
That my dreams are like the lighthouse
To those ships
On the trips
That sail through the night

The truth be told
That pretty gold
Can not buy my soul
I dance in rain
Play for the game
And never feel old

Dear mistress
Your distress
Is what's at the end of the road
Of ego
Libido
At motel alone

But I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you with nothing to hide
I love you
I love you
With nothing on the side

The truth be told
That pretty gold
Can not buy my soul
I dance in rain
Play for the game
And never feel old

Some call his multi-layered style holographic. ... more
