Music Vlog - Lyrics Blog #04 - Fat Freddy's Drop: Shiverman

Hey you Steemians,

this night (maybe it's still day or evening at the place where you live) I want to show you another great music I love. Actually it is one of my most listened piece of music I hear at the moment.

Fat Freddy's Drop is a great Band from New Zealand. It's somehow a genre mix of Soul, Ska, Reggae, Dub and Electronic. The Shiverman is more one of the Electronic type, but contains also some shades of Reggae, Soul and Dub.

It is not a short one, but definitely worth listening until the end, it's building up slowly to the climax.

Besides, Fat Freddy's Drop give a great life performance!

Here're the lyrics:

Are they tellin' me to shake it loose?
Are they tellin' me to shake it loose?
Are they tellin' me to shake it loose?
Are they tellin' me to shake it loose?

Are they tellin' me to shake it loose?
Are they tellin' me to shake it loose?
Are they tellin' me to shake it loose?
Are they tellin' me to shake it loose?

Shake that Shiverman,
Hairs on the back stand.
Build a cold tight frame.
Got me lookin' like a runaway.
Lookin' like a runaway

Lay it down to the ground.
Captivated by the sound.
Try but you can't speak,
When you're motivated by deceit.
Motivated by,
Deceit.
Deceit.
Deceit.
Motivated by,
Deceit.
Deceit.

I don't want this
Deceit.
I don't want
Deceit.
I don't want
Deceit.
I don't want
Deceit.
[Repeat]

Shake that Shiverman loose.
Shake that Shiverman loose.
Shake that Shiverman loose.
Oh lord.

Shake that Shiverman loose.
Shake that Shiverman loose.
Shake that Shiverman loose.
Oh lord.

Shake that Shiverman loose.
Shake that Shiverman loose.
Shake that Shiverman loose.
Oh lord.

Shake that Shiverman loose.
Shake that Shiverman loose.
Shake that Shiverman loose,
Oh lord.

Shake it loose, yeah
Shakin' it loose, oh yeah

Don't keep tellin' me,
What I should do, see,
I can do whatever I please.
That's just the Shiverman,
and his crooked plan,
To bring a good man to his knees.

On the TV,
In the papers,
It's on the pretty things,
That keep you guilty,
Being who you really,
Don't you worry, I know,
and I never want you to feel alone.

Know you always got somewhere to go.
Never want you to feel alone.
Know you always got somewhere to go,
Go, man.

And I'm makin' my way back home,
But we still got far to go.
And I'm makin' our way back,
Makin' our way back,
Makin' our way.
Makin' our way.

Shake that one loose.
Shake that one loose.
Shake that one loose.
Shake that one loose.
Shake it to him, to him shake it loose

They produced a lot of different versions of this tune, so the text might vary a little bit.
The best part is the Climax at about 14:00 and the brass solos that follow.
Enjoy!

Stay steemed!
Love, Unity & Abundance
