[Monologue, Roy Hargrove]
If you're starting to trying to be a musician or artist—something like that—because you wanna make money, because you wanna do a job, that's- that's the wrong way. You have to do this because you love it. And it doesn't matter if you broke, you still gon' do it. I mean, I go out to jam sessions, and I play regardless of whether I'm getting a check or not. It's-, it's about whether I, uh—you have to love this thing, man! You have to love it and breathe it and—It's your morning coffee. It's your food. That's why you become an artist. Art is a mirror of society, you know...

Lost in Paris
03:14
|

I know that I need you now
The key that I won't forget
You're lost in Paris
(You're lost in Paris)
Lost in Paris
I hope that you're warm and safe
The memory I can't replace
You're lost in Paris
(You're lost in Paris)
It was over in day
All the things I used to say
You've kept the same
All the places we would go
All the songs we got to know
You held it all
I know that I need you now
The key that I won't forget
You're lost in Paris
(You're lost in Paris)
I hope that you're warm and safe
The memory that I can't replace
You're lost in Paris
(You're lost in Paris)
Young young, all in love in a lost place
God damn, got me runnin' 'round in a rat's race
Say grace, but I fell in love with a small waist
Uh, never start, yeah right, yeah uh
Bang, uh, shot me in my heart and it hurt gage
She so fly like a dove, that's a dove face
Thunder what she get now but this ain't her birthplace
Tom, don't tell her, but it's Paris for her birthday
I know that I need you now
The key that I won't forget
You're lost in Paris
(You're lost in Paris)
I hope that you're warm and safe
The memory I can't replace
You're lost in Paris
(You're lost in Paris)
I know that I need you now
The key that I won't forget
You're lost in Paris
(You're lost in Paris)
I hope that you're warm and safe
The memory I can't replace
You're lost in Paris
(You're lost in Paris)
I know that I need you now
The key that I won't forget
You're lost in Paris
(You're lost in Paris)
I hope that you're warm and safe
The memory I can't replace
You're lost in Paris
(You're lost in Paris)

South of the River
04:29
|

I want to stay South of the River
With the chains and the gold
We could be out here together
But, you have places to go
Watching the sunshine blaze the gray
I don't know why you wouldn't stay
You should come South of the River
Where the loving is gold
You should come South of the River
This is where it all starts
I think that we could stay here forever
Lie on the roof til' it's dark
And when the last bus pulls away
I swear that I almost heard you say
I should move South of the River
I want to get to know
I want to get to know, oh
I want to stay South of the River

Movie
05:57

"My cheek brushes against his
Smooth on stubble for a moment
And then it's gone
He walks along the platform as if in a dream
Every fibre in me wants to shout and scream
'Stop!'
To run across to him, to take him in my arms
To tell him, 'I love you! You silly, silly man, I love you!'
But instead I stand still
Heart cracking
Those little curls on the back of his head bouncing
As he steps out of my life, forever."
I hope that the fire we both made
Still burns a little in you
I wrote to you everyday
Did my letters find their way?
Our memories on my screen
Two lovers in this mystic dream
Baby, come back to me, come back to me
Too much time on my phone
Baby, do you still sleep alone?
Come back to me, come back to me
Remember me
Fresh out a black and white movie, movie
On every screen
But would you realise
What you meant to me or was it mystery?
Remember me
Fresh out a black and white movie, movie
On every screen
But would you realise
What you meant to me or was it mystery?
I heard that you moved somewhere far away
Is your number the same as before?
I can't ignore
The time may have changed your ways
Does my record still hang on your wall?
Such a sentimental way to groove
I hope it still touches you
Baby, come back to me, come back to me
It kills me to see you leave
So I came home and made this beat
Baby, come back to me, come back to me
Remember me
Fresh out a black and white movie, movie
On every screen
But would you realise
What you meant to me or was it mystery?
Remember me
Fresh out a black and white movie, movie
On every screen
But would you realise
What you meant to me or was it mystery?
Remember me, let's set the scene
You and me, what could've been
Still swimming in a lover's dream
Still playing on the movie screens
Remember me, let's set the scene
You and me, what could've been
Still swimming in a lover's dream
Still playing on the movie screens
Remember me, let's set the scene
You and me, what could've been
Still swimming in a lover's dream
Still playing on the movie screens
Remember me, let's set the scene
You and me, what could've been
Still swimming in a lover's dream
Still playing on the movie screens

I love the way it flows
I love the way it grows
There’s something in this sound that takes me far
It’s like a special song
Can move my mood along
But I cannot say you’ll hear through my guitar
She told me add a bassline
And everything will be alright
She told me that the groove is mine
It will take us through the night
And where I’ll go
Can’t explain I’ll never know
But it’s beautiful
You can’t take this away from me
The way I hear the melody
The waves bring clarity
Running through me
You can’t take this away from me
The way I hear the melody
The waves bring clarity
Running through me
I love the way it sings
All the joy that it brings
Remember skating down the road towards the park?
I can never say no
You with that summer glow
The music gives me sun when winter starts
She told me add a bassline
And everything will be alright
She told me that the beat is mine
It will rock us through the night
And where I’ll go
Can’t explain I’ll never know
But it’s beautiful
You can’t take this away from me (Oh)
The way I hear the melody
The waves bring clarity
Running through me
You can’t take this away from me (Oh)
The way I hear the melody
The waves bring clarity
Running through me
You can’t take this away from me (Oh)
The way I hear the melody
The waves bring clarity
Running through me
You can’t take this away from me (Oh)
The way I hear the melody
The waves bring clarity
Running through me
Yo, I wear notes like coats
Blues like doos, warm from the rhythm, soul that glues
That bounce to my bones, that jazz in my spine
The hop is my home, rap is my grind
I'm grindin' on the backside of life, we dance
She threw me a chance, her hands in my pants
Actually, my pockets holdin' me tight
Whispering a dream I could hold in the night
Blood tight, a rhythm that's throbbin' my veins
Wake up and write it on a pad, the pains
Like church, the organ will invite the tears
Like birth, I'm cryin', let you know I'm here
Held by the song that gave me a name
Dressed by the verse that gave me a claim
(There’s just a bass in the line) safe to inhale
And if you live well
Belonger years in this state, you will be
A timeless octave to play for the tree
That’s rooted in every single nerve in me
The nerve of he who ignores the key
And use it to open the minds that be free
Whenever you're hot head ignores you, you are free
Beneath the clouds, you allowed to see, in clarity
Through harmony, someone harmin’ me?
That won't be done
I stand protected by the laws of fun
I am perfected through the rhymes of Run
Walkin' this way and leave the party stunned
This music, it launched me
With no aim, I've landed with some plane
Where I am I can't explain or never know
But it's beautiful so...
You can’t take this away from me
The way I hear the melody
The waves bring clarity
Running through me (C'mon y'all)
You can’t take this away from me
The way I hear the melody
The waves bring clarity
Running through me

I want to stay
But I need to go
I want to be the best for you
But I just don’t know what to do
'Cause baby, yes I've cried for you
The time we have spent together
Riding through this English weather
And as the pressure builds
So does the tension between you and me
Time has gone so fast
Watching the leaves fall from our tree
Baby, I just want you to know
I still love you
Love you
Love you
Love you
Love you
Love you
And the grass is always greener
On the other side
Maybe you should come and take a trip sometime
Oh you seem keener
When they turn to night
But you trippin out your mind
Baby, tell me it's a sign
As the pressure builds
So does the tension between you and me
Time has gone so fast
Watching the leaves fall from our tree
Baby, I just want you to know
I still love you
Love you
Love you
Love you

Man Like You
04:41

I knew a boy who was swallowed by the sky
By the flashing lights
I knew a man who got lost in the big dark blue
He came out alive
I knew a boy, I knew a man that looked a lot like you
I knew a time that you could stand still beside
Never rushing by
I knew a place you'd go if you had to explore
Into peace of mind
I knew a boy, I knew a man that looked a lot like you
I knew a time, I knew a place that felt a lot like you
I knew a boy who was swallowed by the sky
By the flashing lights
I knew a man who got lost in the big dark blue
He came out alive
I knew a boy, I knew a man that looked a lot like you
I knew a time, I knew a place that felt a lot like
You

'Cause I was born a water baby
Swimming with these times
The grooves that turn the grey to sunshine
'Cause I will live through days that break me
Swimming with these times
The grooves that turn the grey to sunshine
I'm still tryna write the story as I see it
The trouble is when I say it, they don't believe it
They reckon I only say it but I don't mean it
I'm tryna tell 'em I'd only say it if I can feel it
'Cause money's tight, maybe tighter than it was before
I'm helping out on a mortgage I really can't afford
Family breaking north, I cover the trips abroad
Shakin', I'm making another loss on another tour
But what I done it for?
To see my mother in the sun abroad
I run into trouble, that was coming for her
My little brother got the hunger for
All the exact same pain
That makes the rain in my stomach pour
So let me paint it broader
This for any dude who's got a daughter
Living off lines that your papa taught her
Ain't got no time to be coming for you
Go with the flow of this running water
Go with the flow of this
Go with the flow of this
Go with the flow of this
Don't you worry
Two leaves won't grow the same
And people might forget your name
Doesn't matter if they do
Don't you hurry
When the hot coffee pours will stain
And when the Uber left you in the rain
Your time will come around to you
Despite the stress of spending so much time alone
'Cause this ge-o-gra-phy is keeping me at home
And I don't know the way to go
I move with the flow of this running water, this running water
'Cause I was born a water baby
Swimming with these times
The grooves that turn the grey to sunshine
'Cause I will live through days that break me
Swimming with these times
The grooves that turn the grey to sunshine

You're On My Mind
04:18

And as the sun goes down
And the stars come out to play
I bet tomorrow I’ll be sleeping
Sleeping all day
And this fire I feel
Why is it burning so slowly?
I can’t stop thinking of you
Like the five pounds you owe me
'Cause you’re on my mind
'Cause you’re on my mind
You’re all I can find
'Cause you’re on my mind
Please tell me that you feel the same
That we're on the same train
If you're a little bit late and miss it
That would be a great shame
I miss your sweet, sweet kisses and lovin’
When they were mine
When are you down?
Make sure I’m in town
'Cause you’re on my mind
'Cause you’re on my mind
You’re all I can find
'Cause you’re on my mind
'Cause you’re on my mind
'Cause you’re on my mind
You’re all I can find
'Cause you’re on my mind
All the colours they shine through
Night time, and I’m thinking of you
Each storm of every day
You’re on my mind
You’re on my mind
You’re on my mind
You’re all I can find
You’re on my mind
You’re on my mind
You’re on my mind
You’re all I can find
You’re on my mind
You’re on my mind
You’re on my mind
You’re on my mind
You’re on my mind

Cos I Love You

Love is hard to find
Girl, give me some time to say (To say)
That I love you (Love you)
Not time to say goodbye
Always wonder why you cry (You cry)
Tell me, baby (Baby)
The words are on my mind
But, girl, give me some time to feel what I need to
And when the time is right
And we're moving with the night, you'll know that I love you
(Love you)
You and I, we cannot be replaced, no
'Cause you and I, you and I will find a way
You and I will find a way
Love is hard to find
Girl, give me some time to say (To say)
That I love you (Love you)
Not time to say goodbye
Always wonder why you cry (You cry)
Tell me, baby (Baby)
Love is hard to find
Girl, give me some time to say (To say)
That I love you (Love you)
Not time to say goodbye
Always wonder why you cry (You cry)
Tell me, baby (Baby)
I think it's been a year
You know I got my fears I'm almost facing
And while the city sleeps
I think I found some peace through you
No more chasing
'Cause
You and I, cannot be replaced, no
'Cause you and I, you and I will find a way
You and I will find a way
Love is hard to find
Girl, give me some time to say (To say)
That I love you (Love you)
Not time to say goodbye
Always wonder why you cry (You cry)
Tell me, baby (Baby)
Love is hard to find
Girl, give me some time to say (To say)
That I love you (Love you)
Not time to say goodbye
Always wonder why you cry (You cry)
Tell me, baby (Baby)
Love is hard to find
Girl, give me some time to say that I love you
Not time to say goodbye
And I always wonder why you cry
Tell me, baby
Love is hard to find
Girl, give me some time to say that I love you
Not time to say goodbye
And I always wonder why you cry
Tell me, baby
