Baby
You came and hurricaned me
That Harvey, Irma combinatrix
More than dresses, shared bathrooms
Wyling white men on public stages
Your operations so seamless
Thinking about, where you at
I know I should be sleeping boy
My confidence is creeping boy
Slide my fingers through your hair
Bite my lip at you and stare
My pretty boo,
Its baby true
Broken heart I forgot to forget about
[chorus]
Baby boy you
Got me feeling
In a fighting mood and I’ll pay you for it
I wanna fly tonight but my head is torn
There a soft midnight wakes a sleepy child
Have I not paid it forward, have I not paid it forward ?
My body, pure, have I not paid it forward
My heart, she beats, did I not lay her on you ?
The son you keep, did I not make him for you
Have I not paid it forward, have I not paid it forward
The man you are, did I not build him with you
On solid ground, did I not raise and kiss you ?
The sleepy tide wakes and takes it with you
It stops for no one, yet I forgive you
But if I weep tonight then Ima fucking kill you
If I weep tonight then Ima fucking kill you
If I weep tonight then Ima fucking kill you
[chorus]

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
My god, what an absolutely incredible Suite. I'll admit, I've struggled to get into Pharoah Sanders due to diving headfirst into some of his most challenging catalogue and that never worked. This is the perfect place to restart. Floating Points is new for me and I can honestly say I've never heard synthesizer music this lush and organic before. the LSO is just perfect. This is one of those albums that any serious music fan needs in their life. The perfect swan song for the great Pharaoh! 5/5 ClassyMusicSnob
