Above & Beyond feat. Richard Bedford - Northern Soul

Common Ground kicks off in cinematic style with ‘The Inconsistency Principle’. Things then move to the dance floor with recent favourites ‘My Own Hymn’ and ‘Northern Soul’, debuted by Above & Beyond at their sold out ABGT250 festival. OceanLab siren Justine Suissa shines on the groove heavy ‘Naked’, while A&B mainstay Zoë Johnston lends her voice to the sun-soaked ‘Sahara Love’. ‘Happiness Amplified’ features a rapturous refrain delivered by the unmistakable voice of Richard Bedford, before a change in gear for the progressive ‘Is It Love? (1001)’. The slow burning ‘Cold Feat’ is another poignant moment from Justine Suissa, with Marty Longstaff tackling the uncertainties of life in ‘Tightrope’. ‘Alright Now’s' message of perseverance in the toughest of times dove tails with ‘Bittersweet & Blues’ reflections on absence and abandonment. Stripping things back to the band’s acoustic core, the stunning ‘Always’ is an optimistic Zoë Johnston-led ballad. The title track, ‘Common Ground,’ premiered at Ultra Miami 2017, is a final, thought provoking instrumental bookend to the journey.

The release of Common Ground coincides with a tour of the same name - Above & Beyond’s most ambitious global tour to date. North American shows presented by T-Mobile are on sale now, with further worldwide dates to follow.

"You can break my heart and crush my dreams, but you can never take my soul "<3 words/lyrics matter !!

[seanc]

The part at 2:39 has me in tears EVERY.SINGLE.TIME i hear this song, it brings me back to when they played this live. Even though this is the most quietest part, everyone was silent at UMF Korea... it was honestly a spiritual moment.

[angiemeans]

Lyrics:

Midnight, moonlight
The wind blows off Saint Clair
I'm stuck at a red light, waiting
At 6 Mile & Delaware
The sound of a distant Firebird
The echo of a rhyme - Smokey's words
And absence, sweet absence
Fills the freezing air

I've been wayside for years now
But no one seems to care
Their eyes on the distant horizon
I drove them out of here
I gave you the American dream
And the music for your movie scene
But you left me, bleeding
So listen to my prayer

You can break my heart and crush my dreams
But you can never take my soul
You can crack my stones and melt my steel
But you can never take my soul
You can break my heart and crush my dreams
But you can never take my soul
You can crack my stones and melt my steel
But you can never take my soul

You can never take my soul
You can never take my soul

You can never take my soul
Mmm, you can never take my soul

You can never take my soul
You can never take my soul

You can break my heart and crush my dreams
But you can never take my soul
You can crack my stones and melt my steel
But you can never take my soul
You can break my heart and crush my dreams
But you can never take my soul
You can crack my stones and melt my steel
But you can never take my soul

[gafftaper]
