lyrics

I hate you make me nervous 
I always say the wrong thing 
it doesn’t matter anyway 
ain’t nothing gonna change, no 

I hate the situation 
I’m always running in to you 
and when I don’t I’m hoping to 
I hate feeling so confused 

don’t wanna feel the way I do, it’s just what I’m going through 
don’t wanna feel the way I do, it’s just what I’m going through 

I hate that you’re perfect 
no way your ass comes up so clean 
somebody’s playing tricks on me 
can’t see what I wanna see 

I hate that you still call me 
just when I done made up my mind 
to leave your perfect ass behind 
I hear you sounding so fine 

don’t wanna feel the way I do, it’s just what I’m going through 
don’t wanna feel the way I do, it’s just what I’m going through 

don’t wanna feel the way I do, it’s just what I’m going through 
don’t wanna feel the way I do, it’s just what I’m going through 

how else can I let you go 
when the man I know 
makes me wanna be your girl 
outliving the love I saved 
fighting dreams away 
oh I wanna be your girl 

I hate that I can’t tell you 
left guessing if you’ll ever know 
and trying not to let it show 
mind games just to let you go 

I hate that you don’t want it 
I hate that I’m still so sweet 
as if it might change something 
when you’re ready you’ll remember me 

I hate I know your birthday 
I know all of your favorite shit 
when you were talking I was listening 
yet I still can’t win 

I hate that you don’t call me 
I’d like to think that we’re still cool 
and now I’m feeling like a fool 
every time it rings I hope it’s you 

I was so good to you good to you 
I’d be so good for you good for you 
I know I’m good for you good for you 
because I’m good to you 

I was so good to you good to you 
I’d be so good to you good to you 
I know I’m good for you good for you 
because I’m good to you 

I just wanna be free  see less

This is pure artistry. Period. This is some of the most lushly multi-layered production and arranging I have heard in ages. Amber's vocals are ridiculous, and their deft touch on where to punch in vamps, drop in tastefully sick flute flourishes, layer harmonies and percussion elements is mind blowing. PLEASE listen to this on high quality headphones, or speakers with a lot of audiophile-quality bottom, because the musical tapestry they put together almost requires it to fully appreciate their ability and studio wizardry.

There is something so innocent, POETIC, and REAL about the words in their songs!
"I'm tryin' not to let it show
Mind games just to let you go
I hate that you don't want it
I hate that i'm still so sweet
As if it might change somethin'
When you're ready, you'll remember me
I hate, I know your birthday
I know, I love your favorite shit
When you were talkin', I was listenin'
Yet, I still can't win"

UH been THERE!! Lol His loss!

This album is the TRUTH!! Next to KING, James Fauntleroy, Preston Harris, and a few others, Moonchild is one of the greatest underrated treasures in music today!!!

When I first met my guy 8 months ago, he said "I have a song I want you to hear" and it was this! He knew I listened to the regular radio stuff and he wanted me to try a new style. I'm now hooked! Moonchild Rocks!

[theforeignspeculator]

this blue eyed neo-soul got me bouncing my gawwwd!

[donaldrichardson]

The whole concept - from the lyrics to the base line to the chord progressions to the arrangements. ... Of the Chain! !! Insane! !!!

[roderickwilliams]

Amber sings like as if Michael Franks and Erykah Badu had LoVe ChiLd….PERIOD LOL

[bcoby]

The best song on a really great album.

[TheBurnonme]

I see y'all as future Grammy winners right now. Y'all music is soothing to my soul.

[mikejones]

So I heard this song for the first time 2 weeks ago and been playing it in repeat! I love it!

[maryablaza]

Great song from L.A, since 2007!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[kdub]

Just getting to listen to the new CD, this is the track! The first release "Cure" was nice, Moonchild didn't let me down, but this one here!...Feeling it thru and thru.

[raymondsanders]

Amazing! I had a chance to see MoonChild (I had never heard of them at the time) open for Jill Scott right before everything started to shutdown due to COVID-19. The crowd was on their feet and now this is one of my favorite groups.

[jikookpm]

my vocal coach recommended me various types of music and she also recommended this song and im so in love with this song oh my god😌✌🏻
she says my voice suits this song and the type of style she sings but ive never been into jazz and i feel like i appreciate jazz, the more i listen to all types of music the more i feel open to anything.

[JayJohnson-jzpp]

I finally figured out who she reminds me of; it's the lead singer for the group "Little Dragon."  She (Little Dragon lead singer" lays down some "ill" jazz vocals when she's not with the group.  Moonchild's lead singer and her bang the "exact same style" and intonation on the same bars...

[ReigningGlory]

The melody makes me think of spring break . It brings so many great memories!😝 Great times without boundaries. OH HOW O MISS THEM😭😄 HAPPY 2020 y'all!!!

[diarakane]

thanks for describing a feeling so beautifully. I think people can identify to this songs because we recognize the feeling itself. And the vibes are so groovy

[fermgrip]

Interesting how this work speaks directly to my heart. Can't help it... Won't fight Da feeling.

[marcellasgardner]

The way my hips move when this comes on

[king-galaxiusstravinsky]

Nice and mellow. Gets me in a songwriting mood.🤔🥴♥️
