One Note Samba

Artist: DanceLife

Album: Latin Music Takes Control

Song Length: 2:51

George's Thoughts: This is a classic Samba song, and the Dancelife strict-tempo version certainly does it justice, retaining its jazz flavoring while ensuring a strong beat throughout. Quite delightful. Often used at competition events. Also available on Dancelife's "2 Smiles for Your Feet" album.

Song Lyrics:

This is just a little samba
built upon a single note
Other notes are bound to follow
but the root is still that note
Now the new one is just the consequence
of the one we've just been through
As I'm bound to be the unavoidable consequence of you

There's so many people who can talk and talk and talk
And just say nothing oh nearly nothing
I have used up all the scale I know
That in the end it's come to nothing
No nearly nothing

[Chorus:]
So I come back to that first note
as I must come back to you
I will pour into that one note
all the love I feel for you
Anyone who wants the whole show
RÈ Mi Fa Sol La Si Do
He will find himself with no show
better play the note you know

This is just a Samba
built upon one note.
Other notes are bound to follow
but the root is still that that note.
Now the new one is the consequence
of the one we've just been through.
As I'm about to be the unavoidable
consequence of you.

[Chorus]
