Deborah Crooks: Music

• MP3 short clip, hi-fi play (broadband)

 I've moved a lot, too much, really, in my adult life, but his song is not about geography. It's also not necessarily about moving to be with someone. It is about moving, or the potential and anticipation, of moving with someone, and how something, some thought, someone has to shift for anything to happen.

Big gust of wind

Limbs in the wire

Leaves in the yard

Wood for my fire

 

Yeah nothing happens

Till something moves

So baby let’s move

Baby let’s move

 

Sidewalk is closed

Power lines are down

The bridge is out

But there’s water on the moon

 

Yeah nothing happens

Till something moves

So baby let’s move

Baby let’s move

 

Heads or tails

Aces and arrows

Hammers and nails

Hawks or sparrows

 

We could fly to India

You know Detroit

I love the ocean

Water,  starlight

 

Yeah, nothing happens

til something moves

so, baby let’s move

Baby let’s move
