Giving up your love ‘cause I can’t give enough
I’m not from this time, I’ve a future mind
Say goodbye like friends would say, am I man enough?
I’m following me to a future beat
I know you’re living in the past
And baby my time here isn’t going to last
It’s better if I leave, if I leave
Yeah I’m going, I’m going, I’m going
I’m going way back, way back
Getting off the wrong track, wrong track
I’ll give you all your time back
‘Cause a love like yours gives me a heart attack
Giving up your love’s sweet flow from head to toe
I got so high on you I got vertigo
Hanging out with those troubles, where you go they go
I’m following me to a future beat
When love comes take its hand
But the truth is that you were made for another man
Oh I’d rather be, places that are new to me
I’m going, I’m going
I’m going way back, way back
Getting off the wrong track, wrong track
I’ll give you all your time back
‘Cause a love like yours gives me a heart attack
Take a step back
Take a step back
Take a step back
Take a step back in time
Take a step in time, to when you were mine
Give my love back, I’m a future boy and I’m future bound
I’m going way back, way back
Getting off the wrong track, wrong track
I’ll give you all your time back, time back
‘Cause a love like yours gives me a heart attack
I’m going way back, way back
Travelling on a new track
I’m getting all my time back
‘Cause a love like yours gives me a heart attack
War years, the only time you ever fought
Shoring up defences from the new ideas she brought
War years, as they find out who they are
Standing up for causes that appear to go too far
If you got to do it all over again
Would you really honestly do it the same?
Did you ever wonder what it's like?
Did you ever understand that fight?
Did you ever think you were wrong?
Did you ever wanna kiss that bone?
Did you ever let a new thought in?
Did you ever embrace that sin?
Did you ever wanna slip that skin?
War years, the past gets further everyday
Get a new perspective now the kid has moved away
War years, you never dreamed of such a world
When was it so normal for a girl to love a girl?
There are no straight lines in reality today
Everything tends to bend a certain way
Did you ever wonder what it's like?
Did you ever understand that fight?
Did you ever think you were wrong?
Did you ever wanna kiss that bone?
Did you ever let a new thought in?
Did you ever embrace that sin?
Did you ever wanna slip that skin?
Kids today they never had it tough
Kids today why can't they just grow up?
Thinking they can spread around the love
Ignoring all the orders from above
Did you ever wonder what it's like?
Did you ever understand that fight?
Did you ever think you were wrong?
Did you ever wanna kiss that bone?
Did you ever let a new thought in?
Did you ever embrace that sin?
Did you ever wanna slip that skin?
Did you never want something new?
Only wanted what the world told you
Do you see that it's falling down
Everywhere you stand your ground
Did you ever wanna trash the rules
Even though it's all you got
Though it's never all you've got

FORMATS: 7" Single [Clear Vinyl] [Numbered Limited Edition of 500 copies] / Digital Single
Elefant Records, in its constant search for new ideas and projects, is beginning a new collection of limited-edition Singles called “Reworked By Series”. The main idea is that groups on the Elefant label appropriate, play with, and remix each others’ songs. It’s an explosive mix that can create (and has, in fact, already created) really exciting cocktails. We’ve already got our hands on the first two releases from this collection, Guille Milkyway and LA CASA AZUL’s remake of ATTIC LIGHTS, and THE PRIMITIVES songs that MODULAR “perpetrated”. The Argentinian group MODULAR has once again created a cosmic, spacey world based on Paul Court’s guitars and Tracy Tracy’s vocals, making “Purifying Tone” and “Lose The Reason” theirs. And Guille does his thing, making a few new Eurodisco hits from “Future Bound” and “War Years”, two songs from the Scottish band fronted by Kevin Sherry.
Could you say the re-mixers have made their own songs? Almost, but also not at all. Those riffs, the vocals, the arrangements, and the melodies that belong to the original versions are special raw material, practically unprecedented, for the “re-constructors”, creating an alloy that is unprecedented, surprising, different, and most important of all, highly enjoyable.
The Singles from this new adventure will be released in 500-copy limited-editions on clear, 7” vinyl. Welcome to the new Elefant Records collection and get ready to enjoy new and exciting interpretations of our favorite songs.
“REWORKED BY SERIES” 01: ATTIC LIGHTS REWORKED BY LA CASA AZUL
There are few combinations that are as enticing to us to start off the new Elefant Records collection of Singles, “Reworked By Series”, than bringing together these two amazing teams that are the Scottish ATTIC LIGHTS, and LA CASA AZUL. Kevin Sherry has always declared himself, like so many of us have, a total fan of Guille, of his songs, and his productions. And Guille has always had a weakness for, and admired, ATTIC LIGHTS’ songs. The result of this explosive union is a couple of songs that will murder the dance floor with the unmistakable mark of Guille - highly danceable songs, full of the spirit that 70’s disco music was full of, and with a mix of elegance and style that stands out and launches ATTIC LIGHTS’ melodies to even greater heights.
“Future Bound” is full of vocoders and summery aromas; it holds onto the melancholy of the original melody, while also giving it a certain lightness, which creates one of those strange mixes: a sad song to dance to or a nostalgic song full of hope and vitality. It depends on the day; it adapts to your emotional state and magnifies it. And when that restructured chorus starts, you’d think that Guille had been dreaming of it forever, to compose one of his best songs. Plus, the summer aromas are so magical that they transport us to a summer evening beyond the stars.
“War Years”, is a new ATTIC LIGHTS song; it goes after everyone without hesitation. It’s a disco-funk hit, and Guille once again brings an already great chorus to life, until it is overflowing with energy, and floods absolutely everything. the song is also an anthem in favor of sexual freedom and tolerance.
This will be released as a 500-print limited-edition on clear, 7” vinyl. Here at Elefant, we’re huge fans of “good vibes” but after this we can only say one thing: it’s really nice to have friends.
Another stellar effort from the Melbourne producer and singer-songwriter, built around fragmented grooves, warped vocals, and catchy hooks. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 29, 2020
