I loved singing this song with Roland (although I don't sing in this recording). It's in 5/4 time. Note the toy piano in the beginning of the song (inspired by Al Kooper of the Blues Project). -- Jan Stepka
lyrics
JAMAICA
Dream of a land down where
the cold winds never blow
Dance to calypso
feel the rhythm
of the music in your soul
Ooh summers
on Jamaica's shore
wild winters
won't find me anymore
I'm on Jamaica's shore
Jamaican ladies
make your bones
melt with a kiss
Jamaican ladies
Rays of sunshine
and as lovers never miss
Ooh darling
caught me with your charms
Ooh darling
hold me in your arms
don't ever let me go
Dream of a land down where
the cold winds never blow
Dance to calypso
feel the rhythm
of the music in your soul
Ooh summers
(golden summers)
on Jamaica's shore
Wild winters (long cold winters)
won't find me anymore
I'm on Jamaica's shore
No one does music quite like Camille and Xavier do. I see their music as being akin to soundtracks for unfilmed movies. In this instance it is a movie about explorers of mountainous terrain, perhaps the terrain of our lives. Merci pour cette musique si intrigante. :-) sumbuk
The new live EP by Ryan W. Stevenson's project reminded me, that this debut album must have been gone down the wishlist... If instrumental Canterbury stuff is your thing, this should be a no-brainer. Firmly rooted in the past (late 60s, 70s), nevertheless with a fresh sound. Guests incude The Tangent's Andy Tillison and Soft Machine's Theo Travis. Carsten Pieper
The Long Island metal band's third album etches arena-sized hooks into their jagged compositions, deftly balancing experimental and poppy inclinations. Bandcamp Album of the Day May 12, 2022
We'll see if Dan Britton will be able to conclude his ambiguous concept of 7 interweaving albums but so far, he fails to disappoint. So. Lunarians is the other sub-tier (?)/parent (??) album to Oceanarium (the other one was Heliotians)... Whatever, the music is great again :-) Carsten Pieper
