Playback is the third song of the EP Bloom. It is a modern jazz ballad drawing influences from African music as well as new scene London jazz with band like GoGo Penguin or Kokoroko. The song develops around slow verses with instrumental interludes, led by the tenor sax and trumpet, and double time choruses. It is perhaps the more complex song of the album showing the love of the band for jazz music and its attempt to merge it into a more neo soul contemporary music.
lyrics
Every time you come around, come around like a memory
Don’t wanna change the past you keep it with you like a mystery
Hard to change when you are trapped in your heart, it was meant to be
But in the end it’s always been about you and this melody
And you remember all these old days
Living, dreaming, all the ways,
And you remember all these old days
But now for you it’s time to play
Ooooooh, shining like the moon
Wild and free it was your mood
Getting trapped in by the groove
By the groove
Ooooooh, shining like the moon
Wild and free it was your mood
Getting trapped in, trapped in, trapped in
By the groove
You wake up, you realize that it’s different today
Get a job, get a wife, get a life, pay the price, that is how you forgot to play
Looking back on where you were blooming
Cruising down the streets
Like everything was fine, everything’s aligned
Doing what you like, in accordance with your mind
Ooooooh, shining like the moon
Wild and free it was your mood
Getting trapped in by the groove
By the groove I said
Ooooooh, shining like the moon
Wild and free it was your mood
Getting trapped in by the groove
By the groove, by the groove
Ooooooh, shining like the moon
Wild and free it was your mood
Getting trapped in, trapped in, trapped in
