With his own recording studio and production company, T.P.A Music, Levent has caused quite a stir over the past few years. Providing an irresistible mixture of Latin styles, house beats and tasteful jazz vibes, Levent has created a trademark sound that keeps on fascinating both DJ’s and dance floors. With a sound that works perfectly along side label mates Boris Dlugosch and Mousse T, Can7 fits perfectly into the Peppermint Jam roster.

Tracks such as “Windjammer” and “Crusin” made it onto a number of compilations and are typical of Can 7’s style. Remix work for the likes of Moloko, Sonique, Ofra Haza, Randy Crawford, Levitation and Ricky Martin has established Can 7’s name on international dance floors. Peppermint Jams successful C.D. release “Destination Rio” mixed and compiled by Can 7, showed yet another dimension to his musical talents.

Levent was born in 1964 in Turkey and claims he was “born as a musician”. A long-term musical education and experience in playing several instruments - bass, guitar, keyboards and percussion make Levent a ‘real musician’. This is one of the reasons why Can 7’s remix work carries the reputation for adding a new dimension to a song.

Another reason for Can 7’s success is the fact that he works with such talented people. With the extraordinary vocals of Angela Caran and accomplished multi-instrumentalist Xavier Fischer (of Xavier Fischer Trio and Smoke City fame) the team effort of Can 7’s tracks really pay off. Can 7’s long-term studio partner Guido Craviero, another gifted songwriter and musician, make this winning combination complete.

Levent’s vast vinyl collection, broad musical taste, impressive musical background and a healthy dose of eclecticism make every Can 7 DJ set something very special. Levent’s first long player is due to be released in early 2002 on Peppermint Jam. Listening to the rough mixes it is evident that this album will be something quite amazing and should bring Can7 the recognition and credit he deserves.

STRONGER
Can 7 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

From the cradle to the throne
My flesh and my bones
Is that the way it's supposed to be
How the story goes?

Ribbons and bows
Like a thorn on a rose
When the one man who gave it all to you

Has to let you go

He found for me scarlet ribbons
Those scarlet ribbons for my hair

What becomes of a father's love
When another has his daughter's love?
Don't you know they'll never be above?
I'll always be your little girl

It's all borrowed time
And you always said I would regret it
If I grew up too fast
But my heart is strong and true

I'm doing fine
The things that you said, I won't forget them
I'll do as you ask
And always play fair for you

You found for me scarlet ribbons
Those scarlet ribbons for my hair

What becomes of a father's love
When another has his daughter's love
Don't you know they'll never be above?
I'll always be your little girl

There's a part of you
In every part of me, should know better
Maybe you should know
I won't let that go

Long as I can cry on your shoulder
Won't be growing up
Just older
You have got to let me go

You found for me scarlet ribbons
Those scarlet ribbons for my hair

What becomes of a father's love
When another has his daughter's love?
Don't you know they'll never be here but
I'll always be your little girl?

I'll always be, always be your little girl
Always be, always be your little girl
Always be, always be your little girl
Always be your little girl

You've got to let it go, oh, oh
You've got to let it go

You've got to let it go, oh
You've got to let it go

You've got to let it go, oh, oh
You've got to let it go

Line by Line Meaning

From the cradle to the throne
From birth until triumph

My flesh and my bones
My physical and emotional being

Is that the way it's supposed to be
Questioning if life should fit a certain mold

How the story goes?
Wondering about the direction of one's narrative

Ribbons and bows
Decorative elements of life

Like a thorn on a rose
The beauty and pain of love

When the one man who gave it all to you
Referring to a father's love and sacrifices

Has to let you go
The inevitability of growing up and moving on

He found for me scarlet ribbons
The love and care of a father figure

Those scarlet ribbons for my hair
A symbol of protection and admiration

What becomes of a father's love
The uncertainty of how a father's love will evolve

When another has his daughter's love?
When a romantic partner takes priority over a father-daughter relationship

Don't you know they'll never be above?
No one can replace a father's importance

I'll always be your little girl
A daughter's commitment to her father

It's all borrowed time
Life is fleeting and temporary

And you always said I would regret it
A father's wise words and guidance

If I grew up too fast
The importance of cherishing youth

But my heart is strong and true
A daughter's independence and willpower

I'm doing fine
Assurance of capability and wellbeing

The things that you said, I won't forget them
A daughter's appreciation and reverence for her father

I'll do as you ask
A sense of obedience and respect

And always play fair for you
Maintaining integrity and honor for her father

There's a part of you
A father's lasting impact on his daughter

In every part of me, should know better
Despite this impact, a daughter may still make mistakes

Maybe you should know
Acknowledging the father's perspective

I won't let that go
A daughter's determination to hold onto her father's love and guidance

Long as I can cry on your shoulder
The importance of a father's support during tough times

Won't be growing up
An attempt to hold onto youth and innocence

Just older
Acceptance of aging and maturation

You've got to let me go
A daughter's plea for her father to accept her independence

You've got to let it go, oh, oh
Letting go of the fear and uncertainty that comes with parenting
