The very underground....
Simon Wright's Mixed
BOOTLEG
CD
1. Just called (to let you know)
I wrote this for an ex girlfriend after she told me that she loved me for the first time and me, being stupid (my heart still hurtin from the last time it was broken) couldnt say I loved her back. She burst into tears and we broke up. Funny thing is when I finaly sung her the song she thought I had written it for someone else and hated it........... Chicks mate, you just cant win.
2. Baby Move (Jackson 5 remix everyones fav, it has my mum at the end ....... not my girlfriend, as had been thought before)
This one is just me bein cheeky. I'm not that smooth in real life. The inspiration came from a few different girls from my past and dancing.......... I love dancing. Mum called me while i was in the studio half way through a track so I held the phone up to the microphone and said "alright mum your on"........ thats what came out. Mumskis is great. She was in adelaide at the time.......
3. Muse (written and sung by my Brother Jed Feat. The Wright Brothers)
My brother wrote this one. Its about falling out of love and trying not to let the selfish emtions like jealousy cloud the truth of a relationship with someone that you once loved "We will find a way" (then again you'll have to ask him if that is an acurate translation)
4. You Dont Know (Beat by D Dub Dave)
This was for the same girl as track 1. After I couldnt say I loved her she never believed me when I said I did. I tryed to convince her, hence "You dont Know" She loved that track, and she knew I'd written that one for her because of the line "and I love it how you love your own tits" she has nice boobs........ mmmmmm, and she knew it.
5. The Worth (Feat. the Groove Collective)
For the same girl again. Thease days she challenges me everytime I talk with her, cuts me down, it means I have to be very strong in what I believe "My intentios are met with your resistance" n "So hard to figure whats the truth" I suppose she tests me in a way. I was so scared to admit to myself that I loved her (fear of a broken heart) but when I did I was enlightened I suppose. cos yes my heart broke again (ouch) but being honest with yourself is so much more beautiful. "You showed me the worth of whats beautiful but hurts" and that is priceless. Please take my advice, its a horible lesson to learn on your own. I still love her..... always will
6. Time (produced by Mark Opitz Feat. The Wright Brothers)
My brother wrote this one again, its about spending many years waiting for a girl he loved to come back from overseas, even though she was not waiting herself (if you know what I mean, naughty gal) and then realising that he had changed......... with TIME!! "Its only time but its not just time" Mark Opitz is a big time Australian producer he did ACDC, INXS, Cold Chisel..... blah blah blah etc etc etc.......
7. This Fist (Beat by Ninth Letta from the UK)
I wrote this one when for the first time in my life a woman was not the most important thing to me. There are so many problems in the world that are overlooked because of the comfortable enviroment we choose to live in. Its my stand up n be counted song. Stay strong and face the worlds problems........... with a fist full of love.
8. Gnostix Baby (Beat by Ninth Letta)
This is my arrogant hip hop track, my check me out FIGJAM song. I had a moment with this track while I was in adelaide that blew my mind. I'd expain but unless you were there it probably would blow you away as much as it did me and the crew I was wit. Spooky shit it was........
9. The Universe works Wonders (Feat. The Wright Brothers)
This is to me a prayer. I'm not religeous (as in no member of any cult including the christian cult which is so redaly accepted in this country. I hope your not a christian.........) but I do believe in the higher power. As long as your greatful for what your given the universe will provide. And sometimes blow your mind. The Universe looks after me well she does. I always play this track last at gigs to say thank you for a good night and for giving me the gift of music. "If it seems that your troubles come in numbers, give it faith that The Universe works wonders"
