about
I’ve been playing music with Cory for a couple decades, currently with Cory Phillips & the Band of Light, who released the sensual funk, soul, and disco grooves of “SEXTHIRSTYLOVEHUNGER” in May. The full album release is still TBD but you can listen and BUY the whole thing NOW at coryphillipsmusic.com. A few singles are available to stream wherever you do that, and this is my remix of the steamy (unreleased) ballad “Give & the Take”. The emotion in Cory’s vocal and Mike Hamm's inspired guitar playing make this consistently one of my favorite songs to play live. The background vocals that Chelsy Larson and Lauren Mayhew added are also gorgeous, and it was blast reimagining this one in my ambient electropop sort of way.
lyrics
Our bodies moving in cursive
Tasting the grooves with a hot tongue
You’ve readied this part of you
So show me now
Untouched for so long
You can't get where another one can
I want to hurt you with healing
& heal you with hurt
Until you pack up your shit & go
Until you want me again
And when you're desperate for a kill
The sweat can make me your meal
Pain is nothing that you're gonna feel
I'm the one you take it from
It's a give & a take
Pull all your tricks on me
& I'll do all my work to you baby
Tender & violent
Rendering me silent
Your cheeks burning red
Until you put on your clothes & go
Until You want this again
You don't feel the speed of time
We're suddenly attuned
All of me all inside of you
Part of the moon & the wind & the rain
It’s born here baby
In our bed
In between your legs
Pleasure, oh, pleasure
It's a give & a take
Ah...
You know I want you again
Almost as real as twins splitting apart in the womb...
Almost as real as love or birth or murder or God...
It's a give & a take
