From the recordings Trumpets Around The World and Bring it Back
Saskia’s fondness for inflection colors her intent for this song’s title and it’s multiple meanings. Mr. Gaasterland, boundless in wizardry transmuted it from Laroo’s former ol’-school up-funk by steeping it in a modern, EDM vibe. While it’s text may yearn to fix failed relations, derailed
or aborted communications, while it may refer to persons, society, or world leaders, she also insists it can refer to re-instating the LP, hence, bringing songs back on track. Legend Joseph Bowie of Defunkt fame (no pun intended) brandishes his brass throughout, including a pas de deux with Laroo’s trumpet, whose wistful vocals inveigle our ears. Rapper MC Complex’s lyrics wield gravitas onto this opus.
Lyrics
(Saskia:)
You, you want to bring back
You, you want to bring back
Bring it back on, bring it back
Bring it back on, bring it back on track
(MC Complex:)
What I need is a true foundation
Not based on a new sensation
What I need is a good vibration
A bit different than the times we're facin'
Whatever you do for your occupation
Rich of poor the whole population
Everybody fight for emancipation, everybody
Everybody fight for emancipation, everybody
(MC Complex:) Bring it back
(Saskia:) The way it used to be
(MC Complex:) You gotta bring it back on track
(Saskia:) The way it used to be
(MC Complex:) Bring it back
(Saskia:) The way it used to be
(MC Complex:) You gotta bring it back on track
(Saskia:) The way it used to be
(MC Complex:)
Bring it back, come on
You gotta bring it back on track
Bring it back, come on
You gotta bring it back on track
Bring it back
(Saskia:)
You, you want to bring back
You, you want to bring back
Bring it back on, bring it back
Bring it back on, bring it back on track
(MC Complex:) Bring it back
(Saskia:) The way it used to be
(MC Complex:) You gotta bring it back on track
(Saskia:) The way it used to be
(MC Complex:) Bring it back
(Saskia:) The way it used to be
(MC Complex:) You gotta bring it back on track
(Saskia:) The way it used to be
(MC Complex:) Bring it back
(Saskia:) The way it used to be
(MC Complex:) You gotta bring it back on track
(Saskia:) The way it used to be
(MC Complex:) Bring it back
(Saskia:) The way it used to be
(MC Complex:) You gotta bring it back on track
(Saskia:) The way it used to be
