about

It Won't Run Without You

Trying to keep everything cool, but they are all-consuming and high-maintenance – sunshine and showers, heaven and hell.
There's still time to wave at George Clinton though.

lyrics

Lyrics

From the blue a storm rolls in
and you run right under a cloud,
firing off your blackened texts,
I’m leaving you to stay on track.

I just walked through your film set,
waiting for the light to change.
Put my mojo in your bag,
you’ve wrapped it up – now it won’t go.

It won’t run without you.

You text me to come and view
your multi-colour Warhol screens.
I know you and how it runs,
I’m here for unhappy hour.

Tried to take it off the rails
when you drive me up the wall.
I thought that I’d had enough,
but maybe not enough, when I get home.

It won’t run without you.

Love and Hate in a Different Time
by Gabriels

This song deserves some flowing textile on the dance floor. Wind up the volume to fluorescent. Silverlake love the left field electric noises and strings. Hey LA - got me all goosebumps. Silverlake

Flock (Deluxe Edition)
by Jane Weaver

Met Jane at a festival and asked how she got the sound on her live vocals. Loved them then and sounding so good on record too. Check out the 'Heartlow' video. Silverlake

Do Yourself Some Good
by UNKLE

Deeply thick and funky, stripped to the good bones of hook with a cinematic edge. Silverlake
