Stihovi koji su oblikovali house generaciju: Octave One feat. Ann Saunderson – Blackwater

Octave One je grupa američkih techno glazbenika sastavljena od braće i sestara Lennyja Burdena i Lawrencea Burdena, ponekad povezanih sa njihova tri druga brata, Lorneom Burdenom, Lynellom Burdenom i Lanceom Burdenom.

1989. bend je debitirao na izdavačkoj kući Transmat, Derricka Maya sa singlom “I Believe”. Godinu poslije “I Believe” je uvršten na kompilaciju Techno 2: The Next Generation (10 Records). Također su tada sa svojim bratom Lynellom osnovali izdavačku kuću 430 West Records kako bi izdali vinilnu ploču Octave One “The Octivation EP”.

Octave One su remiksirali pjesme za Massive Attack, Joey Negro, DJ Rolando, Steve Bug, John Thomas, The Trampps, Rhythm is Rhythm i Inner City. 2000. godine Octave One izdaje svoju komercijalno najuspješniju pjesmu “Blackwater“. 2002. bend je remiksirao “Blackwater” s prerađenim gudačkim aranžmanom uživo koji je izveo Urban Soul Orchestra u Londonu, Engleska.

Singl su iste godine ponovno izdali Concept Music (Ujedinjeno Kraljevstvo), Ministry of Sound/Voidcom (Njemačka), Vendetta Records (Španjolska) i Tinted (Australija). Dosegao je 47. mjesto (veljača 2002.) i 69. mjesto (rujan 2002.) na britanskoj ljestvici singlova.

Stihovi Octave One feat. Ann Saunderson – Blackwater:

[Chorus]
Just open your heart
Just open your mind
And let your love flow like the sunshine
But rivers run deep
And valleys go dry
Like blackwater, oh, oh, oh
Just open your heart
Just open your mind
And let your love flow like the sunshine
But rivers run deep
And valleys go dry
Like blackwater

[Chorus]
Just open your heart
Just open your mind
And let your love flow like the sunshine
But rivers run deep
And valleys go dry
Like blackwater, oh, oh, oh
Just open your heart
Just open your mind
And let your love flow like the sunshine
But rivers run deep
And valleys go dry
Like blackwater

[Verse 1]
Close the doors to temptation
Open wide, the gate of love
Don’t let them tell you
War is the answer
Search deep inside
For peace of mind

[Chorus]
Just open your heart
Just open your mind
And let your love flow like the sunshine
But rivers run deep
And valleys go dry
Like blackwater, oh, oh, oh
Just open your heart
Just open your mind
And let your love flow like the sunshine
But rivers run deep
And valleys go dry
Like blackwater

[Verse 2]
Reminisce
About the good times
Don’t let bitterness eat away
Let no resentment
Hold back your future
Have faith in yourself
You’ll find a way

[Pre-Chorus]
They only want you to see
What they want you to
But you’ll be sad & blue
So chase those blues away

[Chorus]
Just open your heart
Just open your mind
And let your love flow like the sunshine
But rivers run deep
And valleys go dry
Like blackwater, oh, oh, oh
Just open your heart
Just open your mind
And let your love flow like the sunshine
But rivers run deep
And valleys go dry
Like blackwater, oh, oh, oh
Just open your heart
Just open your mind
And let your love flow like the sunshine
But rivers run deep
And valleys go dry
Like blackwater, oh, oh, oh
Just open your heart
Just open your mind
And let your love flow like the sunshine

[Verse 3]
Deep in the desert
When the rivers run dry (The river runs dry)
Leaves one man thirsty
Leaves another to die (Another to die)
Hold on to your vision to help your friend
Don’t you listen to those echoes
Do what you can
‘Cause you know
You know

[Pre-Chorus]
They only want you to see
What they want you to
But you’ll be sad & blue
So chase those blues away

[Chorus]
Just open your heart
Just open your mind
And let your love flow like the sunshine
But rivers run deep
And valleys go dry
Like blackwater, oh, oh, oh
Just open your heart
Just open your mind
And let your love flow like the sunshine
But rivers run deep
And valleys go dry
Like blackwater, oh, oh, oh
Just open your heart
Just open your mind
And let your love flow like the sunshine
But rivers run deep
And valleys go dry
Like blackwater, oh, oh, oh
Just open your heart
Just open your mind
And let your love flow like the sunshine
