Although seemingly trivial, some questions are permissible to ask oneself and others.
Many questions are asked in Sweet Harmony, and a concrete answer is found in unity.
Conscience is a big, huge room where the warm timbre of Jon Marsh resonates. Everything works because the elements are essential, and only that voice there, those notes, and that beat can make Sweet Harmony the anthem it is.
The jack-of-all-trades of the Beloved has always been keen to specify how, with the famous video clip, he had no intention of exalting the sexual character of the song. This can be hinted at while embarking on a more spiritual and communal path. Is it worth borrowing one of the most famous Beatles choruses and further exploring it? If the ultimate goal is Sweet Harmony, yes.
But do not make the mistake of considering Conscience a pretext for just the leading single.
Spirit welcomes you, makes you feel at ease, and if you're looking for the more electronic edge, you can find it, despite the uniformity of the album.
The corners of the room are indeed Lose Yourself In Me and Celebrate Your Life. These are truly gorgeous rhythms; those so representative of that decade of which the undersigned is particularly fascinated.
What saved the Beloved from the departure of Steve Waddington was precisely the wife of Jon, Helena (co-producer and co-author), so the project officially remained a duo.
If living in harmony with the world were easy, what is inside this work would be superfluous. Precisely because of the naive simplicity of these tracks, one can grasp the warmth with which to console oneself.
Was it love that made Conscience the band's most important work? I like to think so. Conscience is a bare record, and as such, it asks its questions in good faith.
Tracklist Lyrics and Videos
01 1000 Years From Today (05:18)
today i woke up smiling
in a misty morning mood
watched your face as you were sleeping
i felt sure that you understood
well you know, you know how i love you so
more than ever now with each single day
and you know that i'll still be loving you
one thousand years from today
got that deeper kind of feeling
that a younger me kept pushing aside
let me be for you all that i'm longing to
right by your side
well you know, you know how i love you so
more than ever now with each single day
and you know that i'll still be loving you
one thousand years from today
yes you know a lifetime to be with you
seems so little now yet so far away
but you know that i'll still be loving you
one thousand years from today
all of my longing and all my belonging
all i can give you, all my life with you
well you know, you know how i love you so
more than ever now with each single day
and you know that i'll still be loving you
one thousand years from today
yes you know a lifetime to be with you
seems so little now yet so far away
but you know that i'll still be loving you
one thousand years from today
02 Celebrate Your Life (05:33)
where is the hope today
and where is the passion?
it seemed just like yesterday
love was in fashion
a rumour that was spread around
all the answers had been found
and then it felt like moving on
and suddenly was gone
you want a reason, i'll give you reason
don't change your ideals with every season
just look inside yourself for explanation
and make your own life a celebration
do you dream of better days
gazing through a purple haze
bathed in ultra-violet rays
or do you want your conscience raised?
you want a reason, i'll give you reason
don't change your ideals with every season
just look inside yourself for explanation
and make your own life a celebration
you've got the power, power to be strong
an education that should be lifelong
so don't be a victim of expectation
just make your own life a celebration
you want a reason, i'll give you reason...
04 Let the Music Take You (05:01)
another song about dancing
nightclub chance romancing
feel the rhythm - let it flow
energise you - let it go
free your body, yeah!
free that spirit in there
let the bassline move you
with a groove that can soothe you
work it till you drop - never let it stop
just let the music take you
that one step higher
make you, shake you, wake you
with your desire
just let the music take you
that one step higher
make you, shake you, wake you
with your desire
all you disco divas
just shake your thang
in a dancefloor fever
yeah it's happening!
just let the music take you
that one step higher
make you, shake you, wake you
with your desire
just let the music take you...
10 Sweet Harmony (05:02)
is it right or wrong
try to find a place
we can all belong?
be as one
try to get on by
if we unify?
we should really try...
all this time
spinning round and round
made the same mistakes
that we've always found
surely now
we could move along
make a better world?
no it can't be wrong
let's come together
right now
oh yeah
in sweet harmony
let's come together
right now
oh yeah
in sweet harmony
let's come together
right now
oh yeah
in sweet harmony
let's come together
right now
oh yeah
time is running out
let there be no doubt
we should sort things out
if we care
like we say we do
not just empty words
for a week or two
make the world
your priority
try to live your life
ecologically
play a part
in a greater scheme
try to live the dream
on a wider scene
let's come together
right now
oh yeah
in sweet harmony
