when we dance- Sting

From the album: Fields of Gold
by the greatest musician and storyteller

When We Dance

If he loved you
Like I love you
I would walk away in shame
I'd move town
I'd change my name
When he watches you
When he counts to buy your soul
On your hand his golden rings
Like he owns a bird that sings

When we dance
Angels will run and hide their wings

The priest has said my soul's salvation
Is in the balance of the angels
And underneath the wheels of passion
I keep the faith in my fashion
When we dance
Angels will run and hide their wings

I'm still in love with you
[I'm gonna find a place to live
Give you all I've got to give]
When we dance
Angels will run and hide their wings
When we dance
Angels will run and hide their wings

If I could break down these walls
And shout my name at heaven's gate
I'd take these hands
And I'd destroy the dark machineries of fate
Cathedrals are broken
Heaven's no longer above
And hellfire's a promise away
I'd still be saying
I'm still in love

He won't love you
Like I love you
He won't care for you this way
He'll mistreat you if you stay

Come and live with me
We'll have children of our own
I would love you more than life
If you'll come and be my wife
When we dance
Angels will run and hide their wings
When we dance
Angels will run and hide their wings
When we dance
Angels will run and hide their wings
When we dance
Angels will run and hide their wings

I'm gonna love you more than life
If you will only be my wife
I'm gonna love you more than life
If you will only be my wife
I'm gonna love you night and day
I'm gonna try in every way

[I had a dream last night
I dreamt you were by my side
Walking with me baby
My heart was filled with pride
I had a dream last night]

It's ma birthday yay

Sunday 19th December 2010

On my birthday, I wore my birthday dress- a long, flowing, white dress. I walked towards the beach on Julius Nyerere Avenida, the walk felt sooo long.
I had a solo brunch at the Caipirinha restaurant.


Julius Nyerere Avenida

I went back to the Base, and rested a bit. By this time my left foot had developed a helluva sore blister just below the toes.



I sat on the balcony at the Base, contemplating: To burst the blister or not to burst the blister.
And when I'd decided to burst it open, I just didn't have the courage to do it. But I did.

Ivan arrived and we took the bus to somewhere farm-like to record music. The area had dirt roads, goats and chicken in perpenity (lol).

We got into the make-shift studio, the guys started flowing to the beat made by Nangu. Ivan contributed his voice and message in his 'ragga muffin-Old Dirty Bastard-Pitch Black Afro' tip!


Ivan's lyrics

The last guy to record was doing the chorus, and it was amazing for me to see how all the different pieces they had recorded seperately gelled together.
It was a beautiful experience to hear this song being recorded, when I heard the chorus I was convinced it was going to be an INFINITE HIT song.
It was my first time being in a studio recording.
The song is called, "Smela Bom Som" meaning The Smell of a Good Sound.


This is the studio the future hit song SMELA BOM SOM was cooked, can you smell the good sound?

I feel great to have been part of this awesome experience, can't wait to hear the finished version!
