OBSESSIVEPOSSESSIVE
03:11
|
|||
I've got a dirty little secret
You see, I've turned into an obsessive son of a...
You are the one that I want
I've felt that way since the beginning
I don't want nobody else, no
If I can't have you I've got nothing at all
You are the one that I want
And I know I shouldn't admit this
But you've turned my thoughts into something more
This jealousy's morphed into my biggest flaw
I've turned into an obsessive man
I've turned into a possessive man
[you're mine - all mine - be mine - all mine]
Obsessive, possessive, excessive, yeah
You are the one that I want
Yet who am I really kidding
Envy and pride mutating my scheming little demons
I'm just hurting my own cause
I've turned into an obsessive man
I've turned into a possessive man
[you're mine - all mine - be mine - all mine]
Obsessive, possessive, excessive, yeah
An obsessive man
A possessive man
Yeah

If We Fall
03:18
|
|||
Do you still remember how we'd play queens and demons?
It all changed slowly while they closed the gates of Eden
Now the bills are piling up, you're worried 'bout meals and sleeping
Those broken wings can't fly, they need time for healing
'Cause I know sometimes it feels so hard
You get hurt if you let down your guard
I know these are some troubling times but don't give up now
Don't give up now
When it feels like your friends are gone
And God won't answer when you try to call
I promise if we fall, we'll fall together
See, you've still got me
'Cause we're all we've got
Please stay by my side if we fall
Do you still remember how we'd howl like coyotes?
But now that garden's gone
The house foreclosed, the land's eroding
And now they're out to take your crown
But keep wearing it proudly
And if this world that's sick and cursed ever tries to hurt you
Stay calm, breathe in slowly
'Cause I know sometimes it feels so hard
You get hurt if you let down your guard
I know these are some troubling times but don't give up now
Don't give up now
And when it feels like your friends are gone
And God won't answer when you try to call
Promise if we fall, we'll fall together
See, you've still got me
'Cause we're all we've got
Please stay by my side if we fall

Orderly Chaos
03:45
|
|||
I've been chasing after gold
Just looking from the corners when it's been there all along
'Cause I've been hurt before
But this time I'm taking a chance on love
I think I found the one 'cause it feels so natural
Sparks start flying
[It's your hands, it's your chest, it's your eyes, it's your neck]
When our souls collide
[It's your back, it's your lips, it's your toes, it's your hips]
Two types of fire
[It's the way you talk and think, our harmony of difference]
Orderly chaos
[Yin and yang with no pretence, you bring out my excellence]
I'm in love with your brown eyes and your original mind
I'm a wealthy person when I'm with you
Let me dive deep in your being
Show me your fantasies and your extremes, yeah
I wanna see the layers of your real, naked soul and show you mine
'Cause we always make it feel so natural and so divine
Sparks start flying
[It's your hands, it's your chest, it's your eyes, it's your neck]
When our souls collide
[It's your back, it's your lips, it's your toes, it's your hips]
Two types of fire
[It's the way you talk and think, our harmony of difference]
Orderly chaos
[Yin and yang with no pretence, you bring out my excellence]
Orderly chaos, orderly chaos
It's orderly chaos, orderly chaos
Orderly chaos, orderly chaos
It's orderly chaos, orderly chaos
Orderly chaos
Orderly chaos

CUDDLE
02:12
|
|||
If you need me, I'll be there
I don't feel like leaving this bed
Let's just cuddle all day, baby
It's been a hell of a week like you said
The outside world can wait
All that needless darkness and hate
I'd rather explore your greatness
You have the gift to erase all the pain
You keep a man sane
You're my best friend, my soulmate
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
If you need me, I'll be there
Let's just cuddle all day, baby
The outside world can wait
Let's just cuddle all day, baby
The outside world can wait
If you need me, I'll be there

Tango
02:56
|
|||
Attraction is a weird thing
Sometimes we end up with somebody who drives us absolutely crazy
But there's something about them that always keeps us coming back for more
It's like tango
Life's choreography full of highs and lows
Whenever we fight it lasts all night
Ducking plates and saying things we might regret
Bonnie & Clyde gone Jekyll & Hyde
I think I might have found my own polar opposite
Sí
I like red and black, you like green and white
You like to talk, I like quiet life
I like the dusk, you live for the dawn
Yet something keeps us coming back for more
La-la-la-la-la, we're the opposites
La-la-la-la-la, we're the opposites
La-la-la-la-la, we're the opposites
Contrast after contrast
We're still together
Don't ask, no
See, this passion keeps us coming back for more
It's protein and acid, heaven, hell, we know the score
It's like tango, Cupid's arrow filled with molly, lord
Agree to disagree
Well, you disagree just to agree, oh
And here we go
You're always so impulsive, I keep it calm
I like staying home, you'd rather live outside
You're such a blessing and a curse all in one
Is it peace, is it war?
Wonder how we even get along, yeah?
La-la-la-la-la, we're the opposites
La-la-la-la-la, we're the opposites
La-la-la-la-la, we're the opposites
Contrast after contrast
We're still together
Don't ask, no
Ooh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

Complete

You always make me smile
Just like strawberries and ice cream, all the small things in life
I don't always see the bright side in life but seems like you can stop the time
That's that special magic you've got
You always make me smile
Just like whipped cream and chocolate ice cream, all the small things in life
I don't always see the bright side in life but seems like you can stop the time
That's that rare magic that you've got
You make me feel complete inside out
You make me feel complete inside out
It feels like summer when you're around
You always make me smile
I've waited for a long time for someone like you in my life
Your touch feels so good
Your touch feels so right
I'm feeling feather-light
Don't ever let go, my love
You make me feel complete inside out
You make me feel complete inside out
It feels like summer when you're around
When you're around

Fate
03:40
|
|||
This song is dedicated to...
You know who you are
Dedicated to you
Do you believe in fate?
It's a miracle we even met but it was worth the wait, mmm
See, life could erase all this by tomorrow
So I'd rather take my time and appreciate
You
The finest work of art ever seen
Crafted by the gods with passion and great expertise
I wanna kiss you slow and sweet from your head down to your feet
Appreciate all of your being
Even your imperfections paint a masterpiece
Do you believe in fate?
I wanna make you feel safe and open
Let you be yourself
Let me take this moment to show all my pride and devotion to a great woman like you
The inspiration of this tune
That's you

I Want to Say
02:33
|
|||
I'd like to say thank you
I'd like to say thank you
For the love that you got, for earning my trust
For always being by my side through the wins and the losses, yeah
I'd like to say thank you
You're a dream come true
I'll give you all that I got
The depths of my heart, all of my time
Every part of my being and mind
We've both been alone and in pain
But when we come together the days start making sense once again
This is more than just a plain sexual thing
What we've got is something so real
A deeper spiritual connection
I feel so open and free with you my dear, yeah
It's healing, you bring out the best in me
I'd like to say thank you
I'd like to say thank you
For the love that you got, for earning my trust
For always being by my side through the wins and the losses, yeah
I'd like to say thank you
You're a dream come true
I'll give you all that I got
The depths of my heart, all of my time
Kiss away all the past scars

Wish
03:24

Wrap yourself around me
And make yourself feel warm
I want you to get cozy
Let's take all the time tonight
'Cause when this world's gone back to its old dim ways
There's always room for one more silly love song to play
Wish we'd stay forever young
Feeling we were born to run
Party like it's ninety-nine
We'd always be on fire
But don't you ever try arguing with time, no
This moment's all we've got so let's make it count
'To always be with you' is the only wish I've got
Kiss me like you miss me
Hug me like it's our last night
And before it's time to sleep
I want to tell you how I feel
Please always stay the way you are
So real
Wish we'd stay forever young
Feeling we were born to run
Party like it's ninety-nine
We'd always be on fire
But don't you ever try arguing with time, no
This moment's all we've got so let's make it count
'To always be with you' is the only wish I've got

Yes/No/Maybe
04:03

Hey baby
Yes, I still remember the way you spoke
You made me curl up with my high hopes
Then left me in the cold, cold rain
Hey baby
You keep giving me just enough rope
To make me think I'll climb out of this hole
First it's yes, then it's no, then maybe
Woohoo
Well, I thought I was out, you kicked me back down
Can't you see how you're killing my calm
You're always around when I'm moving on
Knowing full well I'd sell my soul not to be alone right now
Now you're begging to come back to my life
Was I just a rebound, do you feel doubt
Does it make you feel proud, can't you live without making me doubt myself
I'm done with the playing
Yes or no, no maybes allowed
Hey baby
First you tease me with a fiery kiss
Then you pretend that I don't exist
Now I see through your tricks
You're crazy
All this time you've played me
Woohoo
Well, I thought I was out, you kicked me back down
Can't you see how you're killing my calm
You're always around when I'm moving on
Knowing full well I'd sell my soul not to be alone right now
Now you're begging to come back to my life
Was I just a rebound, do you feel doubt
Does it make you feel proud, can't you live without making me doubt myself
I'm done with the playing
Yes or no, no maybes allowed
Hey baby
You keep giving me just enough rope
To make me think I'll climb out of this hole
First it's yes, then it's no, you're crazy
Woohoo
Well, I thought I was out, you kicked me back down
Can't you see how you're killing my calm
You're always around when I'm moving on
Knowing full well I'd sell my soul not to be alone right now
Now you're begging to come back to my life
Was I just a rebound, do you feel doubt
Does it make you feel proud, can't you live without making me doubt myself
I'm done with the playing
Yes or no, no maybes allowed

I Have to Go
04:02
|
|||
This time I know it's true
We're well past noon and we're 'bout to reach the end of this line soon
Guess I always knew
Ever since the silence in that room
When it was just me and you
When you told me
'Please just hold me for a moment'
As the train kept slowing down
Sometimes our dreams end when we least want it and we can't fight back the tears
At least we'll keep our memories
I don't want to leave you but I have to go
One last look at your smile
It all ends here, there's no way out
I can't believe I'm saying goodbye
I've tried to keep all of these tears hidden deep inside but now they're pouring out
All these bittersweet memories
I don't want to leave you but I have to go

Heal
09:19
|

This song is dedicated to you, the human being
Because the world might be going through a lot right now
And things will probably get worse before they get better but...
What I want you to understand is, you are welcome here the way you are
So be you and let me be me because we're all human
Nothing more, nothing less
One more thing I'd like to say
As the world keeps burning away
Always remain the same
The way you are
I know the times have changed
It's not hard to lose the faith
With the slowly rising flames
But listen to me
You're what we need
I'm being sincere
Don't change a single thing
'Cause honestly love is all this broken world really needs
We're all in pain
We're tired and jaded
'Cause we all want the same, we just say it in different ways
And I know that you've gone through a lot this year
Please know that you are loved the way you appear
'Cause there's only one you, there's only one me
We will defeat the evil that we see
Put your trust in me
The change will come slowly
And only love can let it in
Let it in
I know times have changed
It's not hard to lose the faith
With the rising tide of hate
But we will keep fighting until the end
So spread the word and tell all your friends
Our force will never break nor will it bend
Mm, and honestly
You're what we need
I still believe a change will come slowly
And only love can heal us all
Only love can heal us all

I've been looking for love for all my life
It's been there all this time
I just had to open my eyes and fly
Even if I ain't got nobody else I know that I can still count on you
Yes, I do

Manifesto
02:32
|
|||
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait
I'm not finished yet
I want to do something crazy at the end
Maybe I'll just talk Kanye/Cole style so...
*Ahem*
Thank you for tuning in
It's been a crazy workload but I got it done in a very short time and I'm proud of myself for that
Also, as I look at the madness of this world right now I want to remind you, the sun will shine again
There's gonna be bad days and there's gonna be good days
But in the end love will always be the dominant force and the element that will help us heal and evolve
And before the show's over, I've got a couple more words to say
Goes like this
Spread the word 'cause he's returned but ninety times as great
Rome wasn't built in a day
I'm not afraid but please keep prayers up
Crows still circling the iron-gray sky
I've got a gladiator's might
I'm fly like a fine aviator
I might show all my plans later
Oh, time's up
It's the final countdown to the stars
North Europe's finest like downing white wine
Why settle for clay when you can just strive for silver, gold, hell, platinum
Double that, diamond
So bold, I'm ready to die for the cause
Known to go DiCaprio when I flow
Most of all, I've got real soul and it ain't for sale
No, no, no
I'm solo 'cause of the desire
For the obsession to go high like doves
To escape from the depths of my bygone depression and hellfire
My psyche might not slow down until I've bridged all these worlds for all time
Screw walls, I invite every tribe, every style
We've all got pearls, fuck the swines
This is my musical manifesto to y'all creative types
Time to unify
Snap, we've got the power, action, fire
Can you feel the love tonight, Elton John
I'm the next one in line in the queue of the greats
I care about art to spark fire
To shake the spine
To make being benign hot
I write for the mind
And to inspire
Salutations to the inventors
The visionaries
The disruptors
The geniuses
The passionates
Both present and gone
We will carry your legacy
Long live creativity
Long live desire
Long live free expression
And most of all, long live empathy
This has been Songs About Love and Devotion
Thank you so much for listening
Signing off from London the second of October 2020 with love
