Lyrics The Essence of House Music - Josh Butler feat. Lono Brazil

It's - It's full on a feeling
That's the key word
You can't teach it
You gotta feel it
Like you can teach somebody to use every bit of equipment
You know you can give a guy everything
You can give him every machine that everybody
Used to make the first house record and all that
If you don't feel it, it ain't gonna happen
House music is a very spiritual thing that comes from a place that
I don't know how you dial it up
I am it, so I can't
I don't know how to explain to somebody how to dial it up
I came from it, I'm the origin of it
You know what I mean
I'm from the birthplace
I'm one of the disciples
I was there when the shit was
When the book was being written
All I can say is it's a feeling
And that sounds very, you know, that's vague
What do you mean?
That's something I really can't explain
To me, I believe that it comes back to the vibration

Ah yeah, oh
Ah yeah, oh
Ah yeah, oh
Ah yeah, oh
Ah yeah, oh
Yeah yeah
Ah yeah, oh
Ah yeah, oh
Hey
Ah yeah, oh
You know what I mean
Ah yeah, oh
Ah yeah, oh
Ah yeah, oh
Hey
Ah yeah, oh

You were so happy to find this place where you could go
That the whole world was closed off
But the whole world was open
If that makes any sense
So this energy and this vibe was so powerful that
You know, it allowed you to dream
And it gave you hope

Oh
Ah yeah, oh
Ah yeah, oh
Ah yeah, oh
Ah yeah, oh
Ah yeah, oh
Ah yeah, oh
Ah yeah, oh

It's Saturday night
Around midnight, one o'clock
I wanted to go to that party
I wanted to be in that atmosphere
I wanted to feel that vibration
And that's all that mattered
It was like church, man
This was religion
People weren't talking
The music was talking
If you stood there long enough
That shit was done
You had no choice
You were not getting ready to be hung up on whatever your trip was
At this point, everybody in this room is on one accord
It had nothing to do with, with race
It had nothing to do with any of that
What was going on was the music, man
With that - that sound and that vibration
And what he was playing
And the feeling that everybody seemed to be
Reacting at the exact same time as I was
So emotionally, we were all dialed in and all tuned to the same vibe
And the same rhythm and the same energy

Oh
Ah yeah, oh
Ah yeah, oh
Ah yeah, oh
Yeah yeah
Ah yeah, oh
Ah yeah, oh
Hey
Ah yeah, oh
Ah yeah, oh
Ah yeah, oh
Ah yeah, oh
Ah yeah, oh
Ah yeah, oh
Ah yeah, oh
