And yeah, maybe kind of a little bit similar to Fever Ray.
Like it just it has a joyousness in this kind of sensuality of this song, you know.
And it's it's one that, you know, when we're when we're DJing, it's often kind of like house and techno and disco music.
But I like to kind of drop this track in to the end of a DJ set.
And, you know, it gives people a chance to kind of like dance a little slower and kind of have fun.
Which is pretty joyful, right?
And there's, yeah, there's a, there's a real kind of like joy in the kind of like gentleness of this like soulful music as well, I think.
Well, this is like a South Soul, old New York kind of disco banger.
And I think lyrically, he's talking about the fact that as a person, you're responsible for yourself and you have to make your own destiny.
You have to go for what you want and
and you know you're you're responsible for the decisions that you make in your life so it's kind of serious in its meaning but the joy really comes from just how like unstoppably like powerful and kind of soulful the the horns and the chords the guitar and bass and everything the way that it's played is really really super joyful it's like full of energy and life and
really like wonderful um track to play in a dj set that i often do it was it was the first the first way i ever kind of came across it's like the part of the vocal was sampled in an old like 90s kind of pop house track that i remember you know seeing on the tv when i was a kid and that and it's kind of stuck with me it's just a tiny little vocal loop and
And years later, I realised that it's from this record.
And yeah, it just has that like massive late 70s New York disco sound.
Like the production is really incredible and super well engineered.
And the playing on it, you know, everyone involved in the recording of the song was obviously like a super amazing disco session player.
