Pickin' Up The Essence

from Pickin' Up The Essence by Julie Lamb Outfit

about

The push and pull of attraction, a tingle of interest, the first dance, then the realisation that you're not the only one being played.

This song is bass led and reflects the slow burn and fast heartbeat of a new attraction. The instrumental work weaves like the relationship in the story, with keys, sax and guitar bouncing off each other, reengaging, holding a conversation and then spinning away, with some amusement and a little tinge of anger.

lyrics

I see you across the room
Demanding my attention
Can you sense my mood
I'm paved with good intentions

When you walk I watch you move,
I am pinned by your attention
And we fall into a groove
Feels like an intervention

Play with my affections
Make sense of my nonsense
Demanding my presence
Putting down and picking up the essence
Play with my affections
Make sense of my nonsense
Demanding my presence
Putting down and picking up the essence

As we glide across the room
Moving sweetly into tension
You catch her eye and break the mood
Does this deserve a mention?

I see her across the room
Commanding your attention
Can you sense my mood?

Play with my affections
Make sense of my nonsense
Demanding my presence
Putting down and picking up the essence
Play with my affections
Make sense of my nonsense
Demanding my presence
Putting down and picking up the essence

Instrumental

Play with my affections
Make sense of my nonsense
Demanding my presence
Putting down and picking up the essence
Play with my affections
Make sense of my nonsense
Demanding my presence
Putting down and picking up the essence
