Almost 4 months after the release of Bronwyn’s most recent single "Steady" Yutman Records is releasing a Reggae remix of the song.
Jon Moon originally wrote the guitar melody with the intention of recording a poppy Reggae riddim. But when Bronwyn heard the layout she wrote some lyrics and a melody and the two decided to make it one of her songs. Nevertheless, Jon Moon never completely forgot about the Reggae version and entirely re-recorded the instrumental - apart from the lead guitar.
The only thing remaining in the new remix is this original guitar melody and Bronwyn’s soothing voice and enchanting melodies. Together with the warm trom-bones and dubby delays, the new song is a beautiful blend of the two artist’s musical homes: Bronwyn’s melancholic pop and Jon Moon’s Roots-Reggae.
lyrics
I need a minute to go under
I'm on the first train out to the sea
I'm taking pictures of the tourists and the brimstone
And laying flowers at your feet
You told me life could be no fairytale
No one to come along and make you feel complete
The world is big and oh, so frightening
But inside you is all you'll ever need
I'm waking but I want to stay asleep
I'm swaying but I need to be steady
In dreams I see you
We said we'd meet under the olive tree
Your eyes as always have something to tell me
Something ancient as the soil under our feet
I'm waking but I want to stay asleep
I'm swaying but I need to be steady
I'm waking but I want to stay asleep
I'm swaying but I need to be steady
