Tekst piosenki
[Verse 1: Akala] I don't wanna romanticize another time that's gone by But I have to be honest and tell you that I am an old soul So some Nina Simone is gonna put me in the zone Quicker then some talk of Patron Or Crystal or Pistol it's oh so tedious I want to hear some tunes Like strange fruit with meaning in I want to hear the wolf howling and the waters muddy I want it to dance, want it to make me cry but also funny Feeling that inner city blues, Marvin's the town crier Some soul-2-soul, Some aswad with dubfire Some Gregory Isaacs, A little touch of Dennis Brown I love the soul but nothing moves me like that Reggae sound Jamaican blood, sound system upbringing Our black american cousins are big influences On the songs we are singing It's all Soul with Africa at it's base So Fela and Masakela, Makeba play from the same place [Hook: Asheber] I remember, I remember Do you remember? I remember I remember, I remember Cause I'm just an old soul I'm just an old soul I'm just an old soul Do you remember? [Verse 2: Akala] I'm quite sure the right chords are a cure for disease If music is the food of love, let us feast An open appetizer, whose songs cannot retire The legend Stevie Wonder comes bursting out through the wire The main course, of course, is Hendrix and Marley James Brown will get down and start the after-party After dark is only Pendergrass Grab a partner and do the slow-grind wallpaper dance There is something about the old sound on the analogue And real musicianship that we just can't carry on Or maybe I just am an old soul romanticizing About the good old days when Miles Davis was a commercial artist When singers could sing soul And had a message And if you saw them live they sounded better than the record But how would I know I was not even on the globe When most of these artists rocked Simple, I'm an old soul [Hook: Asheber] [Bridge: Asheber] Old souls, old souls Old souls, old souls And it feels like And it feels like Like I've been here before [Verse 3: Akala] Are you like me, are you an old soul? Do you only like music from before you were born? When you're listening to records Or contemplating the questions Do you ever get the feeling that you've been here before? Do you find yourself talking about the kids these days Then have to remind yourself about your actual age? If it's only Reggae or Soul since you were five years old A little Blues, a little Jazz You know you're an old soul [Hook: Asheber]
