lyrics

"Richness is a relationship between two people."

My favourite love song is "2 Of Us" - a dreamy, liquid jungle piece written by Jonny L about his girlfriend. Yet when Jonny's girlfriend left him, he remade the song as a beautiful, really dark, paranoid tune. I've always wanted to write a tune that would capture those two sides of Jonny, the light and dark. Then when I saw this quote, "Richness is a relationship between two people", in a book by John Lanchester it struck me as poetry. On the one hand it describes the nature of wealth brutally, so it has this really dark quality. Yet on the other hand it also describes love - what could be richer than that? The chopped break in the middle is my attempt to program beats like Jonny, though I deliberately did it with an obscure break, so the results are not as sparkly as a classic jungle break. To hear beats done properly, check Jonny L. His "This Time EP" is a good start.
