Ah-oh...
Oh oh...
Ah yeah
You see the two black birds flying...
Flying high just to be together
When we face the music
It might help you to the other side of a great divide
Fly together
Ask the grand master, why, ask him why
Life feels so hard sometimes
You got the muse, the music, sweet soul music
To reignite your soul, to reignite your soul

Because life is more, more than a love song
It's more than a fantasy, more than a little bit
This life is more than a dream
More than a fantasy, more than a little bit
Take your time, and realize, and fly

I hear the two blue birds sing that song
Dee dee diddly yeah
Dee dee diddly yeah
My respects to the grand master
For the lines, such a pretty thing
How the melody abides

But life is more, more than love song
It's more than a fantasy, more than a little bit
This life is more, more than a dream, more than a fantasy
More than a little bit

Because life is more, more than a love song
It's more than a fantasy, more than a little bit

I'm through the door now, see the sun shining
It's more than a fantasy, more than a little bit

I'm through the door, we know life is more
More than pretty things or singing melodies
Oh life is more, way more, oh yeah, more

Why when the thunder sounds
And you see the lightning almost touch the ground
You hear a voice sometimes, my inner child sings
Fly together, fly together

But life feels so hard sometimes
And you start to lose your mind, just grab your sister's hand
Fly together

Black Pumas show them how
The blue birds, fly together
Fly together, fly together
Fly together, fly together
Fly together, fly together

Will help me sing a song and fly
Fly, touch that sky
Fly together, fly together
Fly together, fly together
Fly together, fly together
Fly together, fly together
Fly together, fly together
Fly together, fly together...

Thought it was Bobby Womack, then checked the date of release. That's some powerful soul right there, and a solid 10 from the Dorset jury!
first album was so fun i ordered this one, great music to drive with
really like this, look forward to hearing more from this band!

This has some hints of Gnarls Barkley…


Yes. It's good but it doesn't need to be played 2 days in a row...
Absolutely made my day.  Lyrics inspire tears of joy.  Thank you William & Co.

Anyone else getting a Digable Planets vibe about two-thirds of the way through this one?  I looked it up to see if it's a coincidence and they're actually doing some shows together in 2024.

Speaking of Digable Planets... Bill, they would be an incredible playlist addition.
So good!
A 60’s vibe and beat and then I looked at the release date! Excellent, beautiful, timely! Thanks Bill!
Eric Buton has a POWERFUL falsetto.
This song is funky and I love funk.
Wow, I see the release date is in the future (it's in 3 weeks, specifically)
Fresh, soulful and with deep sincerity. A feast for the ears..
Lyrics for those who want them:

More Than A Love Son"

Ahhh... Ohhh...
Oh, oh...
Ah yeah

Yay, Black Pumas!!  Thanks for adding them to the mix, Bill & Co...A cool and talented bunch of cats!
Thank you RP for playing Black Pumas.  They've brought Soul back, and it's better than ever.
Another great band from Austin!
