Slow
Alt-J (Kylie Minogue vs. Dr. Dre) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We wake up in the morn'
The sunlight through the blinds
'Cause the night before
We connected soul and mind, yeah
I feel the tension grow
Ready for another start
And we'll take it slow
Like the rythme of our hearts
I feel your heartbeat slowing down
Oh, you got that slow pulse baby
We'll let the sheets slide on the ground
I feel your slow pulse baby
Today we stay in bed
We're taking our time
You lowering your breath, girl
Your beat is matching mine
I feel your heartbeat slowing down
Oh, you got that slow pulse baby
We'll let the sheets slide on the ground
I feel your slow pulse baby
Oh my god
I feel your heart
And we got that slow pulse baby
Got that slow pulse baby
Oh my god
I feel your heart
And we got that slow pulse baby
Got that slow pulse baby
I feel your heartbeat slowing down
Oh, you got that slow pulse baby




We'll let the sheets slide on the ground
Oh, I feel your slow pulse baby

Ive been listening to it since I was 15, I am now 22. Crazy isnt it, looking back at Tesselate, Breezeblocks and Left Hand Free I had been listening since I was 13-14. Bizare isnt it. Wonder where we are in the next 8 years.

Alt-j should make more of these mash-ups cause they're awesome to listen to, I rewatched 'still dre', a chill tune performed by laidback gansta rappers who would rather light a joint then punch someone in the face (except lyric-wise), only to conclude that this collision is the best possible outcome for both songs; Kylie, Dre and Snoop should thank the genius indie musicians. I propose that we fans do the same :3
