about

This track grew from a bassline I recorded back in September 2019. Beats were added. Then the solos. It stayed an instrumental for a few months. I played it at an IMRO Songwriting Workshop with Alan Roy Scott and Brett Perkins. They weren't too impressed (although they mistook the synth solo for an actual human-played solo which I was pleased about - it was programmed). Later I added the vocoder melody, and then the rap verses. There was still something missing... with mentoring help from Funk d'Void I added the string ensemble and it was done! Hooray :D

lyrics

Vocoder:

Why don’t you give
everything you’ve got to
make it shock you
make it shock make it shock make it

work it in the morning
work it in the evening
all the day long
work it out work it out work it

Oh never stop when they go on the attack
oh never stop when they try to stab your back
oh never stop when you start to lose track
oh never never never never stop when the walls about to crack

when they praise you
or even when they blame you
keep the main objective
get it good get it good get it

don’t stop working
as long as you have something
that you love to work on
never stop never stop never

Oh never stop when they go on the attack
oh never stop when they try to stab your back
oh never stop when you start to lose track
oh never never never never stop when the walls about to crack

Rap Verses:

My words are like birds that allow me to fly
in the deep blue pie
with all the fishes in the sky

i never interrupt when i get into a flow
cause i never know when it comes and when its gonna go

improvisin' like another bird (didledee diddleedweebop) who soars on the chords
dig deep but i don't know if i'll ever find the source

i try every day, try try try
try as i might
try every night try
hard, try harder
it'll never be enough
you got to GET IT DONE
even if it's rough


Got to work hard to get it right
got to play read and write every night
never stop never stop not without a fight
if you ask yourself will i do it NEVER say i might

if no one is listening what difference does it make
you got to ask yourself: why do you do what you do at the end of the day?
if you got no good answers then i recommend you quit
otherwise there's no choice, you can't stop, just do it

stop just do it
stop just do it

about

ZOiD Dublin, Ireland

ZOiD (Irish electronic musician and composer Daniel Jacobson) got into techno in the 90s, but then decided to learn jazz, so he did, and nearly got sucked in to a level-19 jazz black hole, but with a strong effort he escaped and returned to the land of electronic reptillion dancebeats with only the shadow of a trumpet's sax to remember the memory of a time when jazzmen blue horns. ... more
