“Smiling” Lyrics

“Smiling” The Grooveblaster Out Of The Past (2011)

Everyone thinks I’m happy

But I’ve got to confide
There’s so many things I try to hide
You always see me smiling
Can’t hear me cry
So many things I try to hide

Smiling through the tears
Laughing through the sighs
So many things I try to hide

I don’t always know
How to speak my mind
There’s so many things I try to hide
You always see me smiling
Can’t hear me cry
So many things I try to hide

Smiling through the tears
Laughing through the sighs
So many things I try to hide

Smiling through the tears
Laughing through the sighs
So many things I try to hide

Smiling through the tears
Laughing through the sighs
So many things I try to hide

— Anji Bee (BMI)

Smiling by The Grooveblaster & Anji Bee from ‘Out of the Past’ (2011)

love me leave me lyrics, lyrics

“Put Some Music On” Lyrics

“Put Some Music On”  5 Years of Chillin’ (2011), Out Of The Past by The Grooveblaster (2011), Put Some Music On Remixes EP (2012), Love Me Leave Me LP (2013)

Put some music on
Put out the lights
Put your cares behind
We’ll have a party tonight

Put some music on
Put out the lights
Put your cares behind
We’ll have a party alright

I’ll loosen my hair
You’ll loosen your tie
Let’s loosen up
We’ll laugh and drink some wine

I’ll loosen my hair
You’ll loosen your tie
Let’s loosen up
And have a real good time tonight

(repeat x3)

Note: These lyrics were originally penned in 2006 during a Lovespirals songwriting session. 2 versions of this song were created in 2010, the first one for The Grooveblaster and the second one for my debut solo album. I released by version first on the ‘5 Years of Chillin’ compilation, created to celebrate the 5th anniversary of The Chillcast with Anji Bee. Shortly thereafter, Grooveblaster’s album came out with his version. In late 2011, I began working with 3345 Music on a remix EP, which resulted in 2 excellent mixes by Intensity of Sound and one more by 3C. The original mix was also featured on my debut solo album, “Love Me Leave Me,” released in late 2013.

Chillcast #230: Summertime

5 Comments

Today’s 1 hour show is a pretty classic summertime Chillcast mix; you’ve got a number of genres represented here with both vocal and instrumental pieces. We start out with dub, move into downtempo chillout, pick it up with deep house, then a little drum ‘n’ bass, and bring it on home with a killer dance pop track. After I recorded the show I saw an amazing Lee Scratch Perry interview feature that I highly recommend. Be sure to grab the 4 superb free downloads included!

Chillin’ with Lovespirals #77

Anji and Ryan are back after a 2 month hiatus with lots of news and stories. Lovespirals updated their recording studio ever so slightly with a 2nd vintage PCM 70 reverb unit and two new audio sampler packs which the duo have been using in their work on an upcoming Anji Bee “solo” album. The band go into a lot of detail as to the whys and whats of that project, and share a clip of their new version of “Love Me Leave Me” at the show’s close. The duo also talk about several recent Anji Bee musical collaborations, the new Love EP due out soon, adding more music to Lovespirals’ bandcamp store, taking part in the upcoming Karmacoda gig at Harlot on July 9th, and meeting Autumn Reeser at this month’s Thrilling Adventure Hour at Largo.

New Music From Anji Bee

3 Comments

There’s lots of new Anji Bee tunes in the works with a variety of musical collaborators, and I’m pretty excited about everything that’s going on! First and foremost, I’d like to officially announce that I am currently in the process of recording the first Anji Bee branded album. Woot! After a decade of releasing one-off singles containing my lyrics and vocal arrangements with various artists from all over the world, I thought it was high time I collected together all of my favorite ideas into one perfected package. You can expect to hear many of your favorite tunes from over the years, plus some brand new tracks co-written with my longtime musical partner, Ryan Lum, of Lovespirals. We’re working more closely than ever to bring my songs to life in the most polished versions possible. You have no idea how hard it is for me to keep these tunes under wraps…

Aside from this massive project, I have also contributed vocals/lyrics to new songs by Falling You, The Grooveblaster, and Karmacoda for their next albums. I also have a new single with Nick Murray, called “Have I Known You,” coming out on Loverush Digital this summer. I understand there will be several remixes by other dance music producers on the single, but I don’t know who yet! And speaking of remixes, several new ccMixter-related songs have come out recently using my vocals from the CC Asia Band project. One of these was just released on a 2-CD set by Buddha Bar DJ, Benoit Cassar, for the 2nd installation of his compilation series, Danai. “Buddhahood (ft. Anji Bee)” is included on Danai, Vol. 2 (CD 1: Camera Rolling), available now on iTunes, eMusic, and Amazon. Then there’s the “Floating Buddha Mix” by ccMixter producer, Vo1k1 of “Crossing the Pond,” which is a free download. The final collab I’d like to mention is an amazing rework of my vocals from the 2007 song, “En La Oscuridad,” that I recorded for Creative Commons band, Moosefrog. Jamahl of 7 Day Visa created a very sexy new version called “Que Quiero” for his new album, Buenos Aires, due out this summer.

And last, but not least, I’ve been wrapping up work on a big remix project for Lovespirals which should see the light of day in a few weeks. The ‘Love EP’ will contain remixes by a variety of indie artists (and friends) including Chill Factor-5, Divasonic, Xurba, 7 Day Visa, Falling You, and Soul Whirling Somewhere. This is a very unique remix set which moves between upbeat dance mixes and moody ambient versions of this track from Lovespirals’ new album, Future Past.
