Get free - Major Lazer featuring Amber

Major Lazer zag ik ooit op Pukkelpop, en ik herinner me de show als bijzonder energiek. Ook het album Guns don't kill people... lazers do zet ik nog met plezier eens op. En kijk, ook de nieuwe single, Get free, met Amber van het fantastische Dirty Projectors, mag er zijn! Er is iets in de combinatie van de rust die we kennen van Dirty Projectors geslopen in dit nummer, en tegelijk loopt er een onweerstaanbaar riedeltje doorheen.

(Overigens, op 10 juli brengt Dirty Projectors hun nieuw album, Swing lo Magellan, uit. Je kan het hier al bestellen)

Je kan het nummer hier kopen.

Lyrics :

Never got love from a government man
Heading downstream till the levee gives in
What can I do to get the money
We ain't go the money, we ain't gettin' out

Heading downstream till the levee gives in
And my dreams are wearin' thin
All I need's relief
I need, I need some sympathy

Look at me
I just can't believe
What they've done to me
We could never get free
I just wanna be
Look at me
I just can't believe
What they've done to me
We could never get free
I just wanna be
I just wanna dream

All of my life been wadin' in
Water so deep now we got to swim
Wonder will it ever end
How long, how long till we have a friend

Comin' down, feelin' like a battery hen
Waves won't break till the tide comes in
What will I do in the sunrise
What will I do without my dreams

Look at me
I just can't believe
What they've done to me
We could never get free
I just wanna be
Look at me
I just can't believe
What they've done to me
We could never get free
I just wanna be
I just wanna dream

We're all together in the same boat
I know you, you know me
Baby, you know me
We're all together in the same boat
I know you, you know me
Baby, you know me
We're all together in the same boat
I know you, you know me
Baby, you know me

Look at me 

I just can't believe

What they've done to me

We could never get free

I just wanna be
I just wanna dream
