lyrics
ABOUT
Romantic Funk return with the single ‘Spots of Time’, a truly mellifluous fusion; an evocative melody, punctuated by slap bass, trumpet and sax melodiousness underpinned by sliding keys harmonies, percussion and shifting time signatures.
Spots of Time
“There are in our existence spots of time,
That with distinct pre-eminence retain
A renovating virtue, whence, depressed
By false opinion and contentious thought,
Or aught of heavier or more deadly weight,
In trivial occupations, and the round
Of ordinary intercourse, our minds
Are nourished and invisibly repaired;
A virtue, by which pleasure is enhanced,
That penetrates, enables us to mount,
When high, more high, and lifts us up when fallen.”
This album is a fresh take on the long cross-continental dialogue between Black American jazz and West African popular music. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jun 19, 2020
