TOTO meets Roy Ayers and the Bee Gees for a studio collaboration, imagine…
Well that’s the approach that Juan Laya & Jorge Montiel (Aka Los Charly’s Orchestra) & Andre Espeut has taken for their latest Soulful-Boogie conveyor, which might comes across as a low tempo track but certainly with more power than any of the tracks this guys have done in their previous collaborations.
There is a metaphoric message through the lyric, open to the listener interpretation, we all have our own realities and choices after all, and it’s up to each of us what we really want to see.
Lyrics:
Got me walking that’s my thing…
I’m out from underground, I can hear the train…
hmmm
Well I love the sound, you can take the train downtown…
Everybody get’s off, in front of me…
Wel, well, well…
When I’m out alone, got my thoughts leading the way…
A light from out the dark, caught me in the rain hmmm
Followed by a car, so why is he stopping there…
Guy upon the street, lights a single flame,
know that game!
Chorus:
We’re on the bridge, city lights, sky of music covers the scene.
Takes a while within the sound, colors blending with you and me
Get it on, you decide, all or nothing…
We’re going down to the next stop, well just drop me at the bridge.
Living the Brooklyn nights…
Rolling the dices taking our chances…
We’re gonna dance all night.
That’s what we’re here letting our cares fall
Living the Brooklyn Nights… X2
Verse 2
Wondering with questions as I look around
Seeing that nighttime industries are turning round.
Open up my eyes to see things me down
it is weighing me down
way deep down
So welcome to the circus are we here to dance
You can have it all if you understand
So we lie with true within illusions in this game
We all just wanna play
were rolling on this train
The Brooklyn night, the scene
The Brooklyn nights can change, your way of life.
But we laugh, we laugh, we laugh
And we take, we take, we take.
and there’s no stopping there
We are on the bridge,
city lights, sky of music covers the scene.
Takes a while within the sound,
colours blending with you and me
Get it on, you decide, all or nothing…
We’re going down to the next stop,
but just drop me at the bridge.
Chorus:
Living the Brooklyn nights…
Rolling the dices taking our chances…
We are gonna dance all night.
That’s what we’re here for, letting our cares fall
Living the Brooklyn Nights… X6
