Patrice - Soulstorm
Lyrics:
Now we're walking down an alley
Now I'm talking spiritually
We got one eye on the future
And the other on our money
And all our feeling goes dead,
When we switch on that channel.
So over fed with the terrible flannel
Try to switch off my head
Use my soul instead
So I'll get ahead of these things
I said
There's a soul
Soul
A soulstorm everywhere
It's a everywhere
Everywhere
A soulstorm everywhere
this song belongs to his album, nile released in 2005
Nile, is Patrice's third album (named after the Nile River).
In this, life on the African continent is depicted. This song is lovely. Here you can see the touch of the amplified guitar, the explosive drums and the African percussion, in addition to the scenes of the video, they are quite natural.
